The Heiress With Seven Secret Identies (Stella Shaw) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94 The Paternity Results

Elias smiled–soft, gentle–and took out a damp wipe, carefully cleaning her hands.

The tenderness of it caught Stella off guard. She froze for a second, maybe two.

“Elias. Let’s go.”

“Wait.”

Jasper’s voice cut through. When he spoke, his tone was different–softer, almost unconsciously so. “The results aren’t back yet.”

“This place stinks.”

Every pair of eyes in the room swiveled to Amber.

“Hey–who’s Amber? The one who just pissed out the window? You think you can just do that and get away with it? I’m calling the cops!”

“Thump. Thump. Thump.”

Heavy footsteps pounded down the hallway, getting closer–sounded like a stampede heading straight for

them.

“Shut the door! Shut it, quick!”

Amber’s voice hit a pitch that could shatter glass.

But it was too late. Her screaming–that raw, panicked shrieking–had already drawn a crowd.

“Amber!”

Her eyes went wide as dinner plates. Her face drained of every drop of color. She shook her head wildly, hands waving in front of her like she could ward them off. “It wasn’t me–it wasn’t!”

“That’s her. Her name’s Amber. I saw her on that livestream last week.”

Someone in the hall shouted it, and just like that, the tiny hospital room filled with people. Bodies pressed in from every side.

Elias wrapped his arms around Stella, pulling her close. The crowd pushed them tighter together, until she could feel the steady thump of his heartbeat against her cheek.

Strange. It made her feel calm.

“Miss Moore, I don’t care what kind of weird fetishes you’ve got. But you just pissed on my face. What are you gonna do about it?”

Amber had never been so humiliated in her life.

How was she supposed to show her face in this city after this? Everyone would know. Everyone would

laugh.

Her eyes found Stella through the crowd–burning, hateful, promising vengeance.

“You know throwing things out a window is assault, right?”

“I’ll pay.”

“How much?”

“A million. Now shut up.”

The Moore security team had finally pushed through, and the man took the money. But the damage was done. Word would get out. It always did.

Amber was sobbing now, ugly and broken. “Dad–are you seriously just going to stand there and watch them do this to me? The Moores will be a joke after this. A punchline.”

Felix’s face was stone, but his jaw worked tight. “Go change. Now.”

Something in Amber shattered. She glared at Stella with eyes that promised murder–slow, painful murder.

“Mom. Let’s go clean up.”

Sienna’s voice was tight with embarrassment. This was beyond humiliating.

She glanced at Elias. He was leaning close to Stella, murmuring something, a faint smile on his face.

She froze.

Elias could smile? She’d known him since they were kids, and she’d never once seen him look like that— soft, open, warm. Jealousy twisted in her chest, hot and sharp.

Once they were gone, Felix studied Stella with new eyes.

She was the mystery doctor. The one who’d treated him. Twenty–one years old, and already half the powerful families in the city were trying to get in her good graces. And she had Elias wrapped around her finger.

If she was a Moore…

Jasper couldn’t stop staring at her. Questions burned in his eyes, but he couldn’t form any of them.

The room went quiet. Dead quiet. Then Leo walked in.

“Grandfather. Uncle Jasper.” He held up the results. “They’re back.”

Jasper’s breathing went ragged.

He took the envelope. His hands felt wrong–stiff, clumsy, like they didn’t belong to him.

He didn’t open it. Not yet. He took a breath, slow and deep, and looked at Stella. When he spoke, his voice

was soft.

“Whether you’re mine or not… you’re Nicole’s daughter. That’s enough. I’ll treat you like my own.”

Stella blinked. Something flickered in her eyes–surprise, maybe–but her face stayed calm. She watched him, waiting.

Jasper’s fingers trembled as he tore open the envelope.

His eyes found the words at the bottom. 99.97% probability of paternity.

Tears welled up. He covered his face with one hand, shoulders shaking as he fought to hold himself together.

“Grandfather.” Leo’s voice was thick with excitement. “Stella’s Uncle’s daughter. She’s a Moore.”

The room went still.

Mark broke into a grin–genuinely happy for his brother. Felix’s expression was harder to read.

Stella glanced at the report. Just once. Then back at Jasper.
