Chapter 713 The Test

“R–really?”

“Of course it’s real. Don’t be stupid. Abraham treasures you too much to ever betray you.”

Through the years, plenty of women had set their sights on Abraham.

But none of them had ever gotten close to him.

Unable to win him over, they resorted to stunts like this?

“But what if… what if it really is Abraham’s?” Stella sniffled again.

“There’s no ‘what if!” Marie snapped.

“Even if it were true, you’d still have me. I’d take you away to live on our own, and I’d never let love ruin you.”

She spoke with such conviction that Derrick’s face instantly darkened.

One way or another, Marie finally managed to coax Stella into calming down.

Before hanging up, she showered her with kisses and tender words–any outsider listening might have thought she was the one married to Stella.

Derrick shivered in disgust, goosebumps all over.

As soon as she ended the call, Marie immediately tried Abraham’s number. It rang for a long time with no answer.

With no choice, she dialed Abel instead.

Derrick muttered, “She still relies on you this much?”

In his mind, Stella had never been all that self–sufficient. Aside from the years she’d spent at Rivermount, she had always leaned most on Abraham—and next on Marie.

And now? With Abraham away on a trip and unreachable, of course she had turned straight to Marie.

Marie shrugged. “She’s just a kid. When something happens, of course she feels helpless.”
