The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 714

Chapter 714 Stirring the Hornet’s Nest

“Within three days, I want that woman dragged in front of Stella,” Madam Evelyn ordered coldly. “Let that wretch explain herself face–to–face.”

Stella froze. “…”

Madam Evelyn turned and saw how frightened she looked. Quickly softening, she sat down beside her, pulling her small hand into her own. “Pregnant women always let their minds run wild. Do you really think your husband is that kind of man?”

“You’ve known him since you were little.”

“I… I called him, but he didn’t answer,” Stella whispered.

“So that’s why you panicked?”

Was she really panicking? Did she believe in him?

Deep down, she did trust Abraham. Still, through the years, plenty of women had tried to get

close to him.

She remembered the last banquet, when Melissa had made her interest in Abraham painfully obvious.

When Stella stayed silent, Madam Evelyn sighed. “Fine, fine. Pregnant women always overthink. I did the same when I was carrying children.”

Unstable hormones, restless thoughts–it was only natural.

Madam Evelyn had no doubts about her son’s fidelity.

What infuriated her was that under her very nose, someone dared to pull a stunt like this.

If they could act so brazenly now, then what about all those years Stella had spent alone outside? How much had she suffered then?

The thought of her precious girl enduring humiliation made Evelyn’s chest ache.

“Even if the unthinkable happened, your mother would make it right for you. Understand?”

At that, Stella began to calm down.

Thinking it over, she realized Abraham truly wasn’t that kind of man.

“Mom… I think lately I can’t control my temper. I cry all the time.”

“And my thoughts just won’t stop running wild.”

She knew something was off with her.

Madam Evelyn hugged her close. “That’s all part of pregnancy. Perfectly normal, hm?”

Her soothing words steadied Stella little by little until her heart finally settled.

Not long after, Abraham called.

The call went straight to Stella’s phone, and just as she reached for it, Madam Evelyn snatched it up. “You rascal! How could you let something like this happen?”

“Give the phone to Stella,” Abraham said flatly.

“She just cried herself out. I barely calmed her down. When are you coming back?”

“I’m already on my way to the airport.”

Hearing that, Madam Evelyn finally relaxed. She passed the phone back. “Here, your husband’s coming home.”

She had wanted to keep the two of them apart while Stella carried the triplets. She knew her son’s nature too well–after all these years of restraint, she feared what might happen if they were constantly together.

But who would have thought sending him away on a trip would bring trouble like this to their door?

Headache upon headache.

Stella put the phone to her ear, her lips trembling. “Honey.”

The word caught in her throat, breaking with a sob.

“What’s this crying about?” Abraham asked. “Did someone bully you?”

“I…”

“They’ll find the one behind this and bring her to you. You can decide her fate yourself. All right?”

It wasn’t an explanation, and yet it explained everything.

If he truly had another woman out there, he would never have said such a thing.

“R–really?”

“Of course. You don’t believe me?”

“I do,” Stella mumbled.

“Then why are you crying?”

Anyone who suddenly received a positive pregnancy test in the mail would immediately connect it to their husband.

When Stella didn’t answer, Abraham sighed.

“You’re just letting your imagination run because you’re pregnant.”

“I’m hanging up now.”

Flustered, Stella ended the call.

Madam Evelyn chuckled. “See? Nothing to worry about.”

“But he didn’t deny it,” Stella muttered.

“Of course he didn’t,” Evelyn said. “It has nothing to do with him–what is there to deny?”

She pinched her daughter–in–law’s cheek affectionately.

With more gentle coaxing, she finally soothed Stella enough to send her upstairs to rest, attendants instructed not to leave her side.

At last, she was calm.

The butler approached quietly. “Ma’am.”

“Find the one behind this,” Madam Evelyn ordered, her voice edged with lethal intent.

To target Stella now was to trample the Dawson family’s bottom line.

Anyone bold enough to do it needed to be ready to be torn apart.

“Men are already on it,” the butler confirmed.

“And Marie?” Evelyn asked.

“Mr. Nathaniel went to the Morris castle. He leveled it completely. Made quite a scene.”

Evelyn nodded. “Dan dared humiliate Marie years ago. It’s only right he pays a price now.”

“But this time, she suffered for it too. He locked her up overnight. Only when Mr. Nathaniel

arrived was she freed”
