Chapter 476 Lillian Got Benched Lewis went quiet What kind of bond must this be to go this far for someone? Abraham headed upstairs.
+10 Free CoLewis followed behind him, leaving only Stella and Tessa downstairs. Tessa returned to Stella's side, clinging tightly to her arm; It was clear she was terrified Stella might leave her behind.
Stella looked into those big, round eyes. "Don't worry; I won't leave you" "Mm.
Tessa nodded emphatically.
Just then, her phone rang. “Letgrab this real quick.” "Alright." Tessa stepped to the side, answering the call Whoever was on the other end, it had her gasping "Wait-seriously? They actually kicked her out? And Jonathan went through with it?" "And what about Susan? Would she really go along with it? She used to protect Lillian so fiercely, I even suspected she was her real mom! Now she's just letting her get thrown out like that?" One question after another; Each one more shocked than the last.
Stella glanced at her instinctively and sighed inwardly. She really is a gossip sponge, huh? Even now, she's got the energy for this...
And judging by her excitement, all traces of fear from earlier-especially from being near Victor-had completely vanished.
Gossip really is her ultimate cure.

First the Reed family, now the Keene family-she really doesn't miss a beat.
Tessa went on, "Yeah, I mean-what's there to even fight over in Keene Group anymore? Isn't it practically falling apart?" "What? They're still fighting like cats and dogs over it? That's savage!" Stella was stunned again.
Tessa's phone call had her all fired up. That fear from earlier-gone without a trace.
Is this what she meant before? That when she got too scared, gossip helped her shift focus? Well, it's working... probably a little too well.
"What? Mrs. Keene got hospitalized again? And Sutton didn't do anything? Then Ethan's totally finished!" Stella went quiet.
If Madeline was so upset she ended up in the hospital, then Judson probably was planning to hand the company over to Horgan 1/2 +10 Free Coins.
Chapter 476 Lillian Got Benched.
Her mind flashed to the image of Horgan in that boxing ring on the cruise ship- Those eyes, sharp and predatory, like a desert hawk, dangerously calculating.
Next to Horgan, Ethan was nothing more than a hot-house flower. If Judson truly intended to hand things to Horgan.....
Ethan's future was going to be brutal.
To be fair-credit where it was due-Ethan war a genius when it cto running the company; under him, Keene Group had grown significantly.
It was just a shame..
Even if Keene Group was now in ruins, he'd poured so much into it-his blood, sweat, and tears-only to have it ripped away.
Then again, he kind of deserved it. Over the past two years, he'd pulled so many shady moves; it was hard to keep track.
Not just against her-Stella-but against his peers too.
As those thoughts swirled. Tessa finished her call and returned to Stella's side. “Stella, karma-this karma hit hard." Stella's lips twitched.
She glanced at Tessa, who now looked completely fine-not a trace of the earlier panic remained.
Stella was starting to think that maybe all the worry she'd carried back in Rivermount... might've been a little too much.
But hearing her sob on the phone back then-Stella hadn't been able to stand it.
And now, just look at her-beaming, energized by gossip.
Tessa leaned in and whispered, "Lillian's been completely kicked out of the Reed family."
"Someone spotted her last night sitting on a bench under the Bridge. Looks like Jonathan took back everything-she's homeless now." Stella went silent.
The thought of Lillian put on the streets gave Tessa a satisfying jolt of schadenfreude.
Even Stella couldn't help but crack a small, pleased smile. Honestly, wasn't this harsher than sending her to jail?
Back then, when Stella had been brought home, Lillian had gone m absolutely berserk, fighting tooth and nail for her spot in the Reed family. All smiles on the surface, but behind the scenes-clenched teeth and venom.
She'd done so many cruel, vicious things-surely she didn't think karma would never catch up to her.
Well, it had She'd clawed so hard for everything-only to end up with nothing And with her health in that condition, she probably wouldn't last long out there either.
Stella said. "The Reed family's tearing each other apart now. No one has! tto worry about her. Jonathan's En taking all his frustration out on her." So much for "family bonds...
Back in Rivermount, Jonathan had always clung to the idea of his sibling ties with Lillian.
