The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 560

hapter 560 What You Deserve

The word “dog” hit Ethan square in the skull.

A loud crack echoed in his min

d, as if something had struck him from behind. Everything went blank.

“You called me a dog?”

Back in Rivermount, she always claimed to be mistreated. Her sharp tongue was understandable then.

But now? Even in Falvaria, she still had that same vicious mouth?

Sitting on the bed, Stella picked up

her water glass, took a sip, and said with a cold smile, “I said you’re not

even as good as a dog.”

Why the hell can’t I forget her? Why do I remember everything about her?

Is it because of that mouth?

Just as Stella was about to deliver another blow, a knock sounded on the door.

Marie’s voice came from outside. “Stella, you can’t sleep anymore. We’re running out of time.”

“Okay, I’m coming.”

She answered the door, then ended the call without hesitation.

Marie, hearing her response, opened the door and stepped in.

“Who were you talking to?”

“Ethan,” Stella said as she blocked his number.

These Rivermount people were really persistent. They even started using Falvaria numbers just to get through.

When Marie heard the name, her expression soured.

“You’re still in touch with him?”

To her, everyone from the Keene family or Reed family was better off never being contacted again.

“Wait for me. When I get the time, I’ll build you a Rivermount firewall.”

Any number from Rivermount gets blocked–let’s see how they try to reach you then.

Stella shook her head. “It won’t work/Jonathan and Ethan both used Falvaria numbers to call me today.”

“The Reed family’s contacting you too? What do they want now?”

Marie was genuinely irritated.

The Keene family was one thing–Ethan was a worthless ex–fiancé, easily discarded.

But if the Reed family was trying to come crawling back, that was just disgusting.

Chapter 560 What You DeseIVE

“They’re apologizing,

But without an ounce of sincerity.

Their apologies always came with conditions. The second you didn’t give them what they wanted their remorse turned into snarling threats.

That was the Reed family’s style.

“Apologizing? Are you kidding? They were the ones who didn’t want you. Now they think saying sorry fixes anything?”

They were the ones who chose to keep the adopted daughter.

Now they’d realized the girl was garbage, and suddenly they wanted their real daughter back?

Even a weather vane didn’t swing that fast.

“Alright, I’m eating first before we leave.”

Whether it was the Reed family or Ethan, Stella didn’t want to waste another word on either of them.

Marie perked up. “Right, food. Mom and my brother both said you had to eat something before the banquet. That’s why I came to get you.”

And a proper meal would take time.

Marie had the maids help Stella change. The pale blue gown looked great on her.

Since it was tight–fitting, Marie glanced at her stomach. “Yeah… you’re starting to show a little.”

She was pregnant, after all. The difference was visible now.

Stella looked down and noticed the gentle curve of her belly.

Marie added quickly, “Still looks really pretty.”

Worried that Stella might be self–conscious, Marie tried to reassure her.

But Stella didn’t care in the slightest. “Pretty or not, it’s not for them.”

She turned to a maid. “Bring me that white coat. I’m wearing it.”

Even if it was an important banquet, she wasn’t about to freeze just to look good.

Marie didn’t argue. Stella clearly wasn’t trying to show off her figure.

Not that she needed to.

Since childhood, Abraham had always cared more about Stella’s health than how she looked.
