PopularNovel+5 Free Coins Chapter 404 A Plea in Vain Chapter 404 A Plea in Vain Seeing Stella's car cto a stop, Patrick shoved off the security guards with all his strength and stepped forward.
"Stella." His voice was hoarse, tinged with weariness.
One look, and Stella could tell-he had lost a significant amount of weight. The unshaven stubble on his jaw made him look even more worn out.
She remained silent, her gaze heavy with displeasure.
Patrick took a deep breath, his tone almost suffocating. "Can you talk to Abraham? Tell him to let us go?" I had completely misjudged everything.
I never imagined my daughter would be so capable, so much so that even the infamous Mr. Abraham of Falvaria would listen to her.
She had even been raised by Abraham personally.
Now, Patrick felt nothing but regret.
For days, he had been tormenting himself with the thought-if only I had treated Stella better, the Reed family wouldn't have ended up like this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe is my biological daughter. Why am I scolding her over Lillian? Because their fights had irritated me? Even if I had to discipline someone, shouldn't it have been Lillian instead? And when Jonathan had done those things to Stella, why had I handled it so indifferently? Stella still said nothing.
Patrick was growing anxious. "The price the Reed family has paid is already more than enough." More than enough.
Enough to crush us entirely.
Mr. Abraham's move had buried us alive. Even the Keene family was struggling to stay upright.
Stella raised an eyebrow. "He hasn't done anything else, has he?" The Reed Group had been completely cut off.
By now, it was practically wiped out. What more could possibly happen? Patrick's face darkened, "He's done more. He hasn't just blocked the Reed Group; he's blocked all of us." Stella was questioned. "???" Patrick sighed, "I tried to start a new company, but no one will collaborate with me. It must be..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
1 Abraham intended to force us into utter ruin.
When I had seen Abraham strike against the Reed Group, I had thought I could escape in time.
I had pulled out all my money, set up a new business, and severed ties with the Reed Group, hoping to dodge the fallout. But all paths had been cut off.
If the new company's issues weren't resolved soon, everything would go to waste, and I would be left with nothing.
1/2 1:21 PM Chapter 404 A Plea in Vain O +5 Free Coins Stella stared at him. "So?" The icy word carried no warmth.
Patrick exhaled sharply. "Tell Mr. Abraham to stop. Enough is enough." After everything that had happened, the Reed family was already in chaos. The price had been paid; it was more than sufficient.
Hearing him say "enough," Stella glanced at him blankly.
"If we're being honest, yes, it's enough." Patrick's expression lit up with hope. "Really? Stella, I've thought about everything that happened. Your mother... she wasn't entirely wrong. Lillian was always by her side. You didn't see it, but Lillian was well-behaved as a child." "She was sensible, polite, and always caring toward the family. That's why your mother naturally favored her. Honestly, she-" "So what does it matter now?" Stella cut him off impatiently.
Patrick was stunned.
What did she mean? Stella stated plainly, "Abraham makes the decisions. I don't get a say." Patrick's breath hitched.
She had no say? What did that even mean? Stella added, "I can't help with your new company either." Patrick stared at her blankly.
The tiny flicker of hope in his eyes was immediately extinguished by her ruthless words. Stella smirked coldly and instructed the driver, "Drive." "Stella, you can't do this. I'm still your..." Patrick didn't get to finish.
Stella had already rolled up the window. The tinted glass concealed her completely.
Panic struck him, and he instinctively stepped forward.
But the car started up and sped off.
Standing motionless, Patrick felt a chill creeping through his entire body.
If I couldn't resolve the new company's problems, then everything problems.
I had prepared would be wasted. What now? Thinking back to how Stella had just looked at him-the coldness was bone-deep.
This was all Susan's fault.
Everything had spiraled out of control because Susan had failed to manage the conflicts between her children.
The phone in his pocket buzzed loudly.
2/3 1:21 PM Chapter 404 A Plea in Vain Still in a daze, Patrick pulled it out.
