Chapter 190
“How is it impossible? Have you forgotten? You can’t have children.” Jessica looked at Stella. Seeing her pale face, Jessica said gently. “Maybe that’s why Brian wants to find a replacement.”
Stella clenched her hand. “Your child isn’t Brian’s. Alfred won’t let your kid into the Foley family.”
“Maybe not this one. But who knows about the next one?” Jessica leaned closer, her gaze carrying a hint
of intimidation.
“Stella, let me ask you. If it were you, and you were pregnant, and your first love told you he’d take responsibility for the child, but then a few months later he didn’t, what would you do?” Stella’s face turned
even paler
Jessica softly continued, “But Brian is a responsible man. I believe he won’t abandon this child. If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you.”
Stella didn’t believe her. This woman was full of tricks. She told herself not to trust Jessica and turned to
leave.
But Jessica wouldn’t let her go. Her eyes turned cold as she grabbed Stella’s wrist. “Stella, don’t go. I’ll prove to you whether Brian cares about me and the baby.”
“Let go of me!” Stella shook off her hand and ran out.
Jessica was pregnant, so Stella couldn’t stay too close to her. If something happened, it would be
troublesome. But it was too late.
Jessica grabbed Stella’s hand as she fell to the ground. Her face turned pale as she cried out, “My
stomach hurts so much…”
The color drained from Stella’s face. She turned back to see Jessica lying on the ground, her eyes red. Stella, I only wanted to talk to you. Why did you push me?”
Stella was shocked. “I didn’t.” A growing crowd gathered to watch.
At that moment, Brian heard the commotion and walked over from a distance. He pushed through the crowd and saw Stella standing nearby. Jessica was lying on the ground, looking pale.
“Jessica.” Instinctively, Brian chose to attend to Jessica, who seemed in serious condition. He went over and helped her up. “Are you okay?”
“Stella pushed me!” Jessica cried, clutching Brian’s sleeve. “Everyone saw it. She knows I’m pregnant and still tried to harm my baby….”
Tears streamed down her face and her eyes were red. She threw herself into Brian’s arms. “Brian, you have to do something about this.”
She wanted Stella to understand how important this baby was to Brian
As expected, Brian looked toward Stella upon hearing Jessica. The sharp, cold look in his eyes made. Stella take two steps back in fear.
“It wasnt me “Stella shook her head, stammering as she retreated. Jessica had pulled her hand and fallen by herself. Stella hadn’t pushed her.
But the onlookers thought she had pushed Jessica. Given that Jessica was pregnant and they were grappling with each other. Everyone sided with the perceived weaker party.
“She pushed her!” Someone in the crowd pointed at Stella. “We all saw it. She pushed the pregnant
woman.”
“That’s right. She pushed her. We went to the bathroom and saw the whole thing.” another group of people chimed in, accusing Stella and siding with Jessica.
Jessica sobbed while clutching her stomach, drenched in cold sweat. ‘Brian, my stomach hurts so much. Please take me to the hospital…”
The fall earlier was a close call. But she had turned her body to land on her back to protect the baby. Otherwise, if something had happened to the baby, she wouldn’t have been able to explain it to Brian,
Brian picked her up and strode out quickly. Stella was left behind, surrounded by pointing were shoved in her face to take pictures and videos.
fingers. Phones
In that instant, she felt like she had plunged into an icy abyss, chilled to the bone. Later, someone reached through the crowd and pulled her out of the accusatory environment.
