Hearing Abraham say they would keep searching, Stella only burrowed closer into his chest, confusion clouding
her heart. Something about all this felt wrong, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Later, after finishing her call, Madam Evelyn spoke to Stella alone about the matter.
Stella shared her doubts openly.
Madam Evelyn's gaze was steady, deep. She patted Stella’s hand. “Your thoughts are still too simple, Stella.”
“Huh?”
“Humans are the best in the world at hiding their true hearts.”
“So... what do you mean, Mother?”
“In my view,” Madam Evelyn said firmly, “Melissa is the one most likely.”
Stella's eyes widened.
Kelly... no, she likely lacked the ability. During her years in prison, not once had the Tom family visited her.
What baffled Madam Evelyn most was Mona's attitude.
That was her own daughter, and yet when she had cto the Dawson family before, her real concern had been
for Gary-not Kelly.
Marie's sudden marriage to Derrick directly threatened Gary's interests. Mona's years of planning had all been
for him.
Kelly, by contrast, seemed to have never truly been in her mother’s heart.
From all of that, Madam Evelyn judged Kelly as incapable of such schemes.
“Melissa?” Stella asked softly.
Madam Evelyn nodded.

Stella thought back to the banquet, to Melissa's brazen behavior toward her. She lifted her gaze, meeting Madam
Evelyn's. “It’s true. She fits more than Kelly.”

“It’s not that she just fits,” Madam Evelyn corrected coldly. “It was her.”

It didn’t feel right.
“Then what do we do?” she asked after a pause.
“Handle it yourself, Stella,” Madam Evelyn said heavily. “Don’t letdown.”
“Mother...”
“Stella, your brother becyour husband. He has protected you all these years. But between husband and
wife, it cannot always be the man protecting. You must stand at his side, sharing the burden for life.”

“Three years ago, you escaped Kelly's snares only because Derrick interfered. But you cannot rely on fortune like
that forever. Next time-"
“I understand, Mother,” Stella cut in softly.
At her calm nod, Madam Evelyn's lips curved faintly.
When she left, the butler escorted her to her car.
Before stepping inside, she gave him instructions. “Stay close to Stella. If she cannot handle this, you help her.”
After all, she had raised Stella. She knew the kindness that ran deep in her bones.
Stella would never pity those who had harmed her. But neither would she ever willingly harm others.
The butler bowed. “Yes, Madam. Rest assured.”
Meanwhile, the Ashen Pact was already in chaos over Diana and her daughter.
Marie used every method she could think of to force them into handing Tessa over.
Within a single day, strike after strike landed.
Loren Lake. Cyren Mines. Caesarville. Dovemont.

All hit by their forces.
And yet, the Ashen Pact showed no sign of giving Tessa up.
Marie was stunned.

The strikes had forced the Ashen Pact into turmoil, and now they were openly fighting back.
At this point, the only way to calm things would be to hand over Tessa and Diana.
