PopularNovelChapter 575 The Price of Underestimating Her 1 D X Finished She either said things outright- Or didn't bother saying them at all.
Abraham listened to her soft, jealous voice and chuckled. "And who are 'they'? You think I take orders from them?" In Falvaria, there really wasn't anyone who could tell the Dawson family what to do.
Stella stayed silent.
Abraham pulled her slightly out of his embrace and pinched her cheek. "You, huh..." Stella pressed, "So has Melissa gotten close to you at all over the years?" She just couldn't get comfortable with it.
In the front seat, Abel was doing everything he could not to burst out laughing as he listened to Stella interrogate Abraham.
He was this close to giving himself an internal injury.
Honestly, in all of Falvaria, who besides Stella would dare talk to Abraham like that? Then again, only Stella had been raised like a precious treasure in his arms.
"She never had the chance," Abraham replied patiently-and truthfully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbel chimed in from the front, "Miss, I promise-there hasn't been a single woman around Abraham all these years." If you had to count females that had gotten close, it was maybe a mosquito or two, Stella huffed. "Hmph!" Her expression was full of proud little annoyance. She was clearly still mad about Melissa.
Abraham gently rested her head against his chest and said to Abel, "Call the Bogden family. Tell them whatever extra terms they mentioned-forget it.” "Yes, sir." Extra terms? That meant additional benefits outside the formal deal. The kind of perks that weren't publicly acknowledged- usually split between the parties.
Abraham didn't care about them. But to the Bogden family's second son, those unspoken perks were a huge win.
Abraham's words now meant: this is official business only.
Tue, " X Chapter 575 The Price of Underestimating Her #Finished If it was official business, no one dared drag their feet. But Mr. Bogden's special perks? Those were gone.
Stella blinked. "What extra terms?" She didn't get it.
Abraham replied, "Little kids shouldn't ask too many questions." Little kid again? She was going to be the mother of his child, and he still treated her like a kid.
Then Abraham added to Abel, “Melissa is not to appear in front of us again." "Yes, sir." What he meant was not in front of this demon, right? The Bogden family had totally shot themselves in the foot. If Melissa had just stayed quiet, they would've gained so much more.
Abraham added, "Also, reach out to the Charlie family." Abel was stunned.
He was really... switching partners? Then again, the Bogden family had asked for way too much this time. They even had the nerve to suggest a marriage alliance.
A marriage alliance might've been fine-if it didn't involve Abraham himself.
But if something involved Stella, Abraham never cared about cost or benefit.
He'd taken tonight's banquet seriously enough to bring Stella with him-and these people still didn't get the message? He'd been giving them too much face. They actually thought it meant his face cin extra large.
Back at the Dawson estate- Evelyn had returned first. When she saw Stella and Abraham walk in, her expression wasn't great.
"Mom," Stella greeted.
Evelyn turned to the butler behind her. "Take care of it." The butler nodded. "Yes, ma'am." He headed off.

0 66% X Finished Maybe she'd been away from the Dawson family too long-long enough to forget how they handled things.
Evelyn stepped forward, took Stella's hand, and gently patted the back of it.
"Stella, the mistress of the Dawson En family can't afford to be weak." "1..."
"It's one thing not to be bullied. But beyond that...” Her voice paused briefly, then her fone sharpened. "You have to make people fear you." Stella froze for a second.
Then nodded. "I understand, Mom." "Good." Evelyn gave a satisfied nod, then looked at Abraham. "So the Bogden family is really out?" Mr. Bogden had just cinto power. There was a lot going on behind the scenes he hadn't fully grasped yet.
If they stepped in now, they could gain more.
Abraham tugged off his tie and handed it to Stella with a casual "Yeah." Evelyn glanced at Stella as she took the tie, and her irritation toward Melissa grew.
Everything had been clearly stated. But the Bogden family had still harbored thoughts like that? In that case, forget dinner. Might as well break the whole table while they were at it.
"You take Stella upstairs to rest. I've still got sthings to handle." Stella looked at her, then at Abraham.
Abraham gave a nod. "Let's go." He took her hand and led her upstairs.
Only after they reached their room did Stella finally ask, "It's so om late what else does Mom have to En.
