When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2448

Realizing that Stella was serious, Matthew acknowledged that he could no longer avoid the topic.

He sighed softly and proceeded to detail everything about the Robin situation, covering their suspicions and the ongoing investigation.

After hearing him out, Stella furrowed her brows, lost in thought for a moment before responding, Katelyn didnt stand out in my memory.

She was merely Lindsays maid, and thats about all I recall.

A look of confusion crossed her face as she tried to piece together her memories of Katelyn, searching for any link to the current mystery.

Her confusion grew as she pondered aloud, saying, I dont remember ever having issues with Katelyn.

What could drive her to fabricate such a complex scheme against me? Everything, from Robins sudden appearance to the car accident, unfolded so unexpectedly.

How could Katelyn have crafted such a detailed scheme? Furthermore, what could possibly have persuaded Robin to visit that car dealership? While reflecting on the situation, Stella grew increasingly convinced that something wasnt right.

The idea that Katelyn had been wrongly accused nagged at her.

With that thought, she raised her eyes to meet Matthews directly.

She asked clearly, Matthew, did you pin the blame on Katelyn to clear my name? Was all this orchestrated by you? Upon voicing her suspicion, Stellas feelings surged. She said emphatically, I dont want this.
