Chapter 440 Dirty Hands, Hidden Knives

The Keene family had been getting hit from all sides lately–just like the Reed family.

Stella raised an eyebrow. “Did you talk to your brother before you came?”

Sutton’s brow furrowed, her dark gaze fixed on Stella.

Stella gave a faint smile. “If you want to understand why the Keene family paid this kind of price, go ask him what he did to me because of Lilian.”

She could see it now–Sutton was trying to defend her family. Pretending the Keenes were innocent.

But the Keene family was already under Ethan’s control. That meant the losses they suffered were far from undeserved.

Stella met Sutton’s stare head–on, her eyes just as sharp and unflinching.

The tension between Sutton’s brows deepened.

Yeah, she hadn’t had a real conversation with Ethan before showing up here.

Sutton had spent most of the last two years overseas. She didn’t know what had really gone down back home.

But judging from Stella’s tone, a flicker of doubt touched Sutton’s chest. She’d always known Ethan had a thing for Lilian.

And even though she hadn’t returned recently, she’d read enough to piece some of it together.

Lilian had nearly killed Stella.

Sutton drew in a sharp breath. “Lilian was raised by the Reed family. Whatever happened between you two, that’s a Reed family issue, right?”

If it was a family matter, it should’ve been handled in private—not dragged into the public eye.

Stella nodded. “You’re right, it was a Reed family matter. But Ethan? He buried the whole thing. He covered up the evidence. He chose to get involved. So tell me, Miss Sutton–was he really innocent?”
