The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 664

Chapter 664 No More Second Chances

“Let it go, Stella. This won’t end well for any of us if it keeps escalating”

Stella’s laugh was razor–sharp. “No, Ethan. It won’t end well for the Keene family.”

As for the Dawson family?

They’d be just fine.

Ethan could read between the lines. His breathing grew uneven. “Stella…”

She cut him off, voice like ice. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Abraham’s the kind of man who won’t flinch at going down with the ship–if his opponent is an equal.”

She paused.

“But the Keene family? They’re not even in the same league. If it comes to that, only you drown.”

Her warning was casual, offhand.

But it hit Ethan like a steel pipe to the chest.

He couldn’t speak.

Before he could gather his words, Stella gave a sharp, bitter chuckle. “Still not done learning. your lesson?”

So far, all Abraham had done was knock the Keene family to their knees.

But if they kept poking the bear….

They wouldn’t just fall.

They’d be wiped off the map.

The so–called legendary Keene family of Rivermount? Just a footnote in history.

Ethan finally caved. “Tell Abraham to name his terms. Anything he wants, I’ll agree to. Or you

name them.”

Stella’s voice turned cold. “This is your idea of negotiating?”

You strike first–then offer to talk?

She didn’t bother replying further.

She hung up.

Just then, Abraham walked in and saw her tossing her phone on the table, clearly upset.

Finishert

His brow furrowed. He glanced at Abel, who bowed and quietly excused himself to wait in the study.

Abraham crossed the room in a few strides and swept Stella into his arms, sitting down with her on his lap.

Stella gasped–startled.

But when she saw it was him, her pout deepened. The storm in her eyes was now rimmed with

mist.

Abraham brushed her hair back. “Who upset you, humm?”

Stella sniffled. “You already know what’s going on in Rivermount, right?”

Abraham’s expression darkened at once.

She knew that look. Of course he knew.

He cupped the back of her head gently. “You’re worried about that?”

His voice was unusually warm.

Everyone else thought she was brash, fiery–quick to punch someone who crossed her.

But deep down, what really scared her were the rumors… the damage they might do to the Dawson family.

He looked at her soft, guilty eyes and smiled. “Those stories have been circulating for days, haven’t they? And yet, they never made it to Falvaria.”

Stella blinked. “Huh?”

What did he mean? That they hadn’t spread? Or that he stopped them?

Abraham kissed her lips lightly. His breath grew heavier. “Just a ripple in the tide. Nothing

more.

Thirty minutes later.

Abraham carried a jelly–limbed Stella back to their room. The moment she hit the bed, she turned away with a pout.

“You’re bad,” she muttered under her breath.

The man looked utterly content, a smirk playing on his lips.

Everything that needed doing downstairs had been done.

Ever since they’d opened their hearts to each other fully, Abraham never held back anymore.

Of course, they hadn’t gone all the way–Stella was still pregnant, after all.

Her little complaint made him chuckle. He tucked her in and pinched her cheek playfully. Yes, I’m bad.”

“But if I don’t wear you out, that little head of yours keeps overthinking everything.”

Well, now she was too tired to overthink anything.

At this point, she probably couldn’t even remember her own ID number.

She turned over once and promptly knocked out.

But when Abraham stood and looked down at her, his gaze turned sharp.

He picked up her phone and saw the recent calls–Jonathan. Ethan.

His eyes went colder.

In the study.

Abel had been waiting patiently.

When Abraham entered, he straightened. “Sir.”

“What’s Ethan’s situation? What about Horgan?”
