Chapter 2429

Stellas face darkened with fury as her mind raced to unravel who could be behind such a calculated plot to frame her for Robins death.

As Stella exited the police station, she was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didnt notice the uneven ground beneath her feet.

Sanford had instinctively moved to help but wasnt as quick as Matthew.

His hands hovered in the air for a moment before he withdrew them, a flicker of disappointment crossing his face.

Stella, snapping back to reality, became aware of Sanfords presence. Flushed with embarrassment, she quickly pulled away from Matthews embrace, taking a deep breath to compose herself.
