Chapter 472

Even if Stella produced Raven's ID, they could just claim it was fake.

She'd admitted to Stella's identity herself as Ms. Chapman, yet neither of them wanted to believe it.

They clung to any excuse not to trust her, which was precisely why Star couldn't be bothered to explain further.

Rachel met Lauretta's gaze head-on. "Even if Ms. Chapman says so herself, you and Stella are friends. It's only natural you'd want to talk your friend up, don't you think?"

Haynes stayed silent; his expression said enough.

Lauretta realized there was no point in arguing, so she simply let it drop. "If you don't believe me, then so be it."
