Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

    Chapter 640 Only Two Years? Lame

    Ste said, “Oh, only two years?”

    “What’s that supposed to mean?”

    “I mean, you might as well stay there for two years and behave yourself.”

    Her tone waspletely unsympathetic.

    After a pause, she added, “I’m doing this for your own good.”

    Honestly, with that mouth of his, she’d often worried Abraham might snap one day and just shoot him.

    Hearing her say that, Eddie cried, “So you’re seriously not going to put in a good word for me? I’m your Eddie, your big bro!”

    “I am doing what’s best for you,” Ste replied tly.

    No amount of pleading could get through her.

    On the other end of the line, Eddie was fuming. iTwo /iiyears/i? iWhat /iikind /iiof /iiabsurd /iisentence /iwas that?

    If Abraham was going to make life hell and Star wasn’t even going to be human about it, then screw them both-

    Fueled by frustration, Eddie’s brain kicked into high gear.

    “Star, let me tell you something, your brother, that gentleman–turned–sociopath, he’s lying to you!”

    Eddie thought. iIf /iiI’m /iigoing /iidown/i, iwe’re /iiall /iigoing /idown.

    “Hm?” Ste murmured.

    Just then, Abraham walked in and caught Eddie’s voice loud and clear over the speaker, “Star, I’m telling you, your brother is not a good guy. Don’t mess with him. If you do, watch out, he might toss you into the

    Milbar Desert too!”

    “And another thing! When you were out of Falvaria, he was being real cozy with two different women.

    Ste was stunned.

    Abraham’s expression darkened instantly.

    Eddie, oblivious, continued, “Pretty sure he even slept with at least one of them. The guy’s not clean, you shouldn’t let him touch you.”

    Ste went quiet. Wow… that was one of the clumsiest attempts at stirring the pot I’ve ever seen.

    Abraham stepped forward and calinly took the phone from Ste’s hand.

    Hearing her go silent, Eddie doubled down, “What, you don’t believe me? Star, I’m telling you, I’m only saying this for your own good.“,

    “There was always Mr. Abraham watching, so I didn’t dare say anything before. But now? My conscience couldn’t take it anymore, I had to speak up.”

    That “for your own good” line–it was the exact same thing Ste had said to him earlier, echoing word for

    word.

    “Who knows, he might even have some illegitimate kid out there.”

    Eddie was really on a roll.

    If Abraham was going to treat him like garbage, then fine–he’d make sure Abraham had bigger problems to

    deal with.

    Ste looked over at Abraham; the man had just tapped speakerphone. At this rate… Eddie might never make it back again.

    A cold smirk tugged at Abraham’s lips. “An illegitimate child, huh?”

    Eddie was stunned.

    Suddenly, the other end of the line went silent.

    For a second, he froze.

    “Mr. Abraham? You’re there too?”

    Stei, /iyou iare /iisuch /iia /iitraitor /i

    Abraham was right there and she didn’t even give him a heads–up? He was biso /i/bscrewed.

    Abraham chuckled; the sound was light but carried an oppressive, suffocating pressure. “Having a good time over there?”

    “I…”

    Good time? Was that a joke? He was barely hanging on. He was going insane, iliterally/i.

    Eddie was so overwhelmed by Abraham’s presence, he couldn’t get a word out.

    Abraham said, “Buy yourself a ticket ande back.”

    Eddie went silent.

    So did Ste. iWait/ii, /iseriously? iHe /iiwas /iiletting /iihim /iie /iiback/i? iThat /ididn’t sound right. This wasn’t Abraham’s usual style.

    Even Ste could tell something was off about that line, “Buy a ticket ande back.”

    Eddie felt it too; his eyelid twitched violently.

    His chest clenched with unease. “No, I don’t think I’ve finished handling things here. I shouldn’te back just yet”

    Abraham grunted, “Him?”

    “There’s still important business here, ah, someone’s calling me. Gotta go!”

    Holy icrap/i, iI’d /iiheard /iit, if iI /iwent back now, Abraham would definitely tear ime /iapart. Eddie thought.

    Finished

    Just a few days ago, Eddie had been desperate to return; now, he wouldn’t go back even if you paid him.

    Better to stay in the Milbar Desert and feed the sand than go back and end up feeding Abraham.

    Before Abraham could say another word, Eddie hung up.

    The dial tone buzzed in the room.

    Abraham looked over at Ste, who was pouting with her lips pushed out, he pulled her into his arms.

    Their eyes met; Abraham chuckled softly. “You believe any of that?”

    “Not a word,” Ste said.

    She wasn’t that gullible.

    What she had with Abraham was beyond what most people could grasp. And Eddie–his weak attempts to stir up trouble were honestlyughable.

    Abraham chuckled again. “Good.”

    And then he kissed her.

    Twisting in his arms, Ste murmured, “If Eddie idid /ie back, you wouldn’t actually do anything to him, right?”

    Sure, that mouth of his was incredibly annoying.

    But punishment had been really harsh.

    Abraham asked calmly, “You think he’d daree back?”

    Ste was stunned. iObviously /iinot/i.

    If Eddie really dide back now, she’d have to admire the guy for having the guts of a warrior.

    Later, as the two of themy in bed-

    Ste snuggled into Abraham’s chest. “So… was Derrick really the guy from the other night?”

    “He was,”

    Ste blinked. “Wait, seriously?”
