"Don't worry, I didn't put poison in it," Mrs. Charlotte said, as if understanding what Stella was thinking."Isn't it natural for me to be suspicious of you? Previously, you also intended to get rid of me and my baby. And now you know that I'm the daughter of the woman you thought stole your love. Wouldn't that make your hatred for me even greater?"Mrs. Charlotte was quite taken aback when Stella said that. Did Stella already know about her past with her father?"You... know about my story with your father?""Daddy explained everything to me when you first came here," Stella replied."Ahhh..." Mrs. Charlotte nodded in understanding.She walked closer to Stella, placed the glass she was holding on the nightstand, and sat on the edge of the bed next to Stella."I'm not as bad as you think," Mrs. Charlotte said. "Previously, I didn't like you because you secretly married Marvin when Marvin was already engaged. But I never intended to get rid of you. I swear!"Stella didn't answer. She
"Thank you, Darling. You are indeed the best," Damian said, devouring the pizza that Fanny had brought with the appetite of someone who hadn't eaten for days.Fanny, sitting beside Damian, clasped her hands under her chest. "Have you come up with a plan to bring down Stella?""Not yet, I'm still trying to figure out how to destroy her. And that Marvin too!" Damian replied with his mouth full. "But don't worry, Darling. I've thought of some plans, but they're not set in stone yet. I'm still confused about the method. What’s clear is that I’ll make sure we execute the plan soon. I want to bring them down as soon as possible. They must be destroyed!" Damian said, his eyes narrowing with intense hatred. “I even want Stella to disappear! I am so heartbroken.” He lied, though in reality, he didn't want Stella to disappear.Since the incident at the restaurant, Damian had been devastated. Despite this time, his love for Stella was sincere. He had even imagined their beautiful future together
“When will that plan be executed, Darling? I am so eager for that day to come. I can't wait to play my part,” Fanny said sweetly.“I’ve already told you that I haven’t figured out how yet, Darling. It’s still just a plan. I haven’t yet thought of how to hurt Stella, and it requires a well-thought-out plan,” Damian replied.Fanny sat up straight, clasping her hands under her chest as she began to think.How should she and Damian get rid of Stella?“Besides, doesn’t Marvin protect Stella so well by providing bodyguards? Even their house is heavily guarded, right? So how can we reach Stella? We can’t disturb them at all! And that’s what I’m thinking about,” Damian continued.Hearing Damian’s words, Fanny realized. Damian was right. Even though she had been living under the same roof for several days, she couldn’t touch Stella, let alone now that they were outside. It would definitely be difficult.“So what now?” Fanny asked. “Does this plan really not work? I’ve been so impatient.”“Ther
"Another problem? What do you mean?” Marvin asked.“Yes. I feel like we're going to have even bigger problems than before. Previously, Fanny didn't seem to care about Damian after what happened. She was focused on separating us using your mother’s influence. But now? Your mother no longer wants to help her. Your mother is even disappointed with Fanny because the woman she wanted as her daughter-in-law ended up betraying her. Without your mother’s influence, Fanny will likely look for another way to get to you, won’t she? And the biggest possibility is that she will team up with Damian.”Marvin began to think, realizing that his wife’s words were most likely true. That cunning woman would likely team up with Damian.“Especially now, Damian must really hate me, Darling. I'm sure he was sincere in his love for me and wanted to get back together. But I crushed that hope. Plus, all the wealth has returned to my family’s hands. His hatred for me must be doubled. He's heartbroken because his
“That's impossible! What are you saying? You must be mistaken,” Mrs. Charlotte exclaimed, not believing Marvin when he said that Fanny had killed Lily.“Why is it impossible?”“What makes you think that, huh?” Mrs. Charlotte lifting her chin slightly in disbelief at what Marvin was saying. “You must be mistaken. Mommy knows Fanny is stubborn and sometimes really annoying. But Mommy is sure she would never go that far.”Marvin turned away, his eyes narrowing with frustration. A smirk appeared on his lips, accompanied by a cynical sigh. “Even after she confessed her wrongdoing to Mommy, you still trust her?” he said in a mocking tone, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.“Mommy understands why she acted that way yesterday. She felt cornered, so she lashed out at Mommy.”“Okay, if I speak without evidence, maybe Mommy won’t believe me. But if the evidence is right in front of you, you will believe me, won’t you?”Marvin quickly opened his desk drawer and pulled out a phone. His
“Your mother still didn’t believe you after you told her everything and showed her the evidence?” Stella asked Marvin.Marvin nodded. “She said the evidence wasn’t valid. She claimed it could all just be a coincidence. It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? What baffles me is that Mommy still trusts that snake of a woman even though she’s been a victim herself? But what she said really made me furious."“What did your mother say?”“She said that Fanny felt cornered, so she lashed out. And she even understood why Fanny did it. Is she insane? What Fanny did almost killed you. And my mother was almost accused of being a murderer, yet she excuses it."“What? Did I hear that right?” Stella exclaimed in shock. “Your mother is that lenient with Fanny? I can’t believe it!”“Neither can I!”“So, what are you going to do now, Darling? Don’t you want Fanny to end up behind bars? If you report her to the police, I think your mother will side with Fanny and protect her from the law. She might say the same thi
“So, they’re going to New York?” Damian asked after hearing Fanny speak.“Yes, my spy at Esther told me that Marvin is leaving for New York on business tomorrow.”A smile spread across Damian’s lips. “Isn’t this the perfect time to take Stella? Ahhh... why did your spy only tell us now? I have to plan quickly.”Fanny narrowed her eyes, looking at Damian with disdain. “Do you think Marvin is stupid enough to leave Stella alone at home? Of course not, you idiot!” she spat sarcastically.Hearing this made Damian narrow his eyes in annoyance.“She’s going with Marvin to New York. My spy said Marvin’s secretary booked two plane tickets.”“Oh... really? So there’s no chance for us? Huhhh!” Damian exhaled harshly.“You really are an idiot! Has poverty lowered your IQ?” Fanny asked sarcastically, lifting her chin and standing with her hands on her hips, looking down on Damian.Damian, feeling increasingly irritated by her insults and the way she looked down on him, wanted to kill her. If he d
New York.Marvin embraced Stella from behind as the cold morning air nipped at their skin. His hand gently caressed Stella's swollen belly, where their baby was growing well.“Let’s have breakfast,” Marvin said, kissing Stella’s back.“Breakfast? This early?” Stella turned to face her husband. “It’s still so dark outside and you’re asking me to have breakfast? Are you… already hungry?” she asked, puzzled.Marvin opened his eyes and looked at Stella with a smile. “Yes, I’m very hungry since it’s been a while since I last touched you. So… give your husband a special breakfast.”Stella’s eyes narrowed immediately, glaring at her husband when she understood his meaning.Seeing Stella’s unfriendly expression only made Marvin smile wider. “We haven’t had our honeymoon yet, Darling. Let’s consider this trip as our honeymoon.”“Honeymoon with a belly this big? I’m already having trouble walking and I get tired so easily. How am I supposed to enjoy a honeymoon like this? Isn’t a honeymoon abou
