Chapter 734 Melissa’s Oath
Madam Evelyn’s gaze grew darker, sharper,
Stella’s eyes fixed on Melissa too.
Between the two of them, it felt like they were ready to tear her apart.

Lalog
Under Madam Evelyn’s stare especially, Melissa’s chest tightened. She swallowed nervously. “W–what does this even mean?”
Stella’s tone was cold. “So this isn’t what you sent me?”
“What?”
“Stop pretending,” Madam Evelyn snapped. “Tell us the truth.”
Melissa shook her head frantically. “No, it wasn’t me! That thing isn’t mine.”
Even if it had been hers, why would she ever send it to the Dawson family?
Under Stella’s icy eyes and Madam Evelyn’s suffocating pressure, Melissa’s mind went blank. She tried to make sense of the situation, but nothing came.
“I swear, it really isn’t mine!”
She was close to tears. Madam Evelyn’s gaze was terrifying–especially with her saying not to pretend.
“Heaven help me, I’m not pretending,” Melissa blurted in panic.
Wait…
Then it clicked.
Stella was pregnant now, and her wedding with Abraham had already been set–with the Dawson elders‘ approval no less.
So if this thing had suddenly shown up here…
Melissa’s mind cleared in an instant. She finally understood the weight of it–and her panic grew worse.
“Madam Evelyn, this really isn’t mine. I would never stoop to something so disgusting.”
Who in their right mind would send someone a used pregnancy test? It was vile.
No wonder it had been sealed in a little box. To someone who didn’t know, it could look like something precious–when in reality, it was just to keep Madam Evelyn’s treasured girl’s hands from being dirtied.
And now that she thought of it…
During her time abroad, Melissa had done plenty of reflecting.
She had truly been reckless last time. Stella was Madam Evelyn’s child–raised and cherished by her. The entire Dawson clan adored her. Stella’s position in the family was unshakable.
Even if Melissa had somehow managed to marry Abraham, what would that have gotten her? Nothing but a

life of hell.
Once inside the Dawson family, Stella would always stand above her, crushing her down. Just the thought of it was suffocating. She didn’t even know what madness had possessed her back then.
But she had thought it through now.
She would never again covet the untouchable Abraham of Falvaria.
“This isn’t me… I swear it isn’t me.”
She had been rash when Stella first returned to Falvaria.
But heaven and earth as witnesses, this really wasn’t her doing.
Madam Evelyn narrowed her eyes. “So Miss Dawson refuses to speak the truth today.”
Clearly, neither Stella nor Madam Evelyn believed her.
After all, even when the news of Abraham and Stella had spread, Melissa had still dared to provoke her at that banquet.
Seeing their disbelief, Melissa’s panic boiled over. “It’s not me, I swear!”
Madam Evelyn tilted her head slightly toward the butler. “Bring Madam Bogden here—”
“Wait! It really wasn’t me! I swear on my life–if I sent that thing to the princess, may I be hit by a car the moment I step outside, struck by lightning in the rain, choke on the first sip of water, die on the first bite of food, and never wake up from sleep again. How about that?”
Stella: “…”
Madam Evelyn: “…”
The two women exchanged a glance, each seeing the same conflicted emotions in the other’s eyes.
Then both turned back to Melissa.
“It wasn’t me,” Melissa cried. “If it was, may I die a horrible death!”
Before leaving the country, her mother had warned her: the Dawson family must never be provoked.
And with the Bogden family’s situation already precarious, if the Dawsons struck against them now, their whole house could collapse.
So to prove her innocence, Melissa resorted to the most vicious oath she could make.
When silence stretched, she added desperately, “If I did this, may no one ever want me. May I grow old alone, a nun for life. Is that enough?”
For a woman, that curse was harsher than death.
She truly had been pushed to the brink.
But then–who had done it?

MAL
Could Falvaria really have sonicone with a mind darker than hers?
No, that wasn’t fair. She had at least been open in her desire for Abraham, shameless though it was
But whoever pulled this stunt had done it in the shadows–making her the scapegoat.
She thought back to last night, dragged out of bed by silent men who never said a word.
Her heart was still pounding even now.
Who had set her up? Whoever it was, if she ever found out, she’d take that woman’s life without hesitation.

Ch 489 Doesn’t this prove that Dan doesn’t actually have amnesia? Why would he go to the island with a strange woman and why would he steal from Derrick? He doesn’t know them....
Ch 488 I feel like this is going to be what Stella stole in his study in Pagenda or wherever his estate was....
Ch 485 I thought it was going to be the Reed family mine that she robbed, thus taking the Keenes product and leaving them in that situation....
Ch 483 o then, how did the Reeds fine her? How did they not know where she was from?...
Ch 477 Definitely hidden pedo in here, referring to tiny women as little girls in every way possible....
Ch 468 How could Stella inherit her adopted father’s weak stomach constitution?...
Ch 468 Abraham and Marie’s mother has been called Evelyn, Diane and Loretta.. which is it? Evelyn has been the most used....
Ch 465 She still doesn’t know the mistress is Lillian’s aunt?...
Ch 464 Why didn’t she kick her out herself be for she went to attack the mistress…...
Ch 463 This is stupid now. I understand being scared in his presence enough to not think straight, but she’s a lone more often than not and has plenty of time to think things through, especially if she has time to get gossip from Rivermount and report to Stella....
