Chapter 1981
When Love Comes Late
Stella analyzed the situation.
âI remember Alissaâs stories about her best friend.
I found that she and Bella had similar experiences.
They both pursued design and had a tragic car accident.
They even shared the same anguish of a missing daughter.
The only difference was that Bellaâs husband is Kristian.
â
The more she analyzed it, the more she felt a chill run down her spine.
If her guesses were right, it meant she and Bella might have fallen victim to a huge trap.
The perpetrators had meticulously laid their trap and tried every possible means, manipulating them effortlessly.
Stella wanted to convince herself that she was only overthinking.
But no matter how difficult, she had to bite the bullet and investigate the truth.
Matthew sensed that Stella was in turmoil.
He knew her worries were not groundless.
He held her hand tighter, comforting her.
âDonât worry too much.
Given the current situation, you canât act rashly.
So, leave this matter to me.
Iâll make sure to personally oversee the investigation.
â
If Stellaâs speculations were true, then Kristian must have a plan for staying by Bellaâs side for many years.
If Kristian found out that Stella had already discovered his lies, he must be so desperate that he could be driven to the extremes and pose a dire threat to Stellaâs safety.

ALL the evidence strongly suggested that Kristian was not Stellaâs biological father.
If he had really planned everything from the very beginning, he must be a man of profound cunning and relentless resolve.
Matthew was afraid that if Kristian took action, he wouldnât show mercy in executing his plans.
âIf all of this is really set up by Kristian, then he is a terrible man,â Stella said with a hint of fear in her voice.
Matthew held her in his arms tightly.
âDonât be afraid.
As long as I am here, Kristian can never hurt you.
No matter what cunning tricks he has, he will not succeed.
â
Matthewâs soothing words calmed d
own the turmoil in Stellaâs heart.
She finally regained her composure after he coaxed her.
Then, he immediately called Neville.
Neville greeted him with a joke, but Matthewâs expression became serious.
âNeville, Iâm not in the mood for jokes.
I have an important matter to discuss with you.
â
âWhatâs the matter?â Neville also became serious.
âI need you to investigate Alissaâs past acquaintances, particularly her closest friend and those associated with her.
â
After hanging up, Matthew noticed that Stella was looking at him in confusion.
He chose to tell her the truth.
âActually, I have been investigating Kristian and Ethan for several days now.
I agreed to cooperate with Kristian because itâs part of my strategic move.
In this way, I can see his intentions and actions.
â
Stella was taken aback to learn that Matthew had been suspicious of Kristian for a long time.
âWhen did you start suspecting Kristian?â she asked, her surprise evident.
Matthew asked, âDo you remember Haleyâs boyfriend, the one who never seemed to be around?â
Hearing the name, Stella was in a daze for a moment and nodded.
âIs there a link between the two?â
Matthew shared his theory.
âThe DNA test confirmed your relationship with Bella.
Previously, your DNA test with Haley also indicated that she was your biological mother.
Since no one tampered with the previous report, it must be true.
So, thereâs only one possibilityâ¦â
Following his train of thought, Stella interjected, âIt suggests that Haley used my biological motherâs sample for the DNA t
