Chapter 420 Severance

“Just because of that accident, you’re erasing every bit of love I ever gave you? Is that fair to me?”

She had only staged that car crash for him.

“You nearly got her killed,” Ethan said coldly, staring at her like a stranger. “And now you want to talk to me about fairness?”

Lilian’s voice broke. “I did it because I was afraid, Ethan. I grew up in the Reed family. I called those people ‘Mom‘ and ‘Dad‘ for over twenty years–and then I found out they weren’t even my real family. You–my fiancé–were supposed to be the true daughter’s, not mine. I was terrified!”

That fear had driven her. That fear had made her lash out at Stella.

“She’s fine! She’s doing great. She stole everything from me–how is that fair?”

The Reed family had collapsed. Ethan no longer looked at her. All of that–because of Stella.

Stella was thriving.

But she–Lilian–had lost everything.

“Yes, I made a mistake. But she’s alive, isn’t she?!” Lilian shouted, her voice cracking.
