"My place at Quentiham University. I was the one who got in, but you let Anna take my spot. I want my graduation certificate," Stella said coldly.
Everyone was in an uproar.
The Hayes family never told anyone who actually got the acceptance letter from Quentiham University, but by the time the truth came out, it was already Anna who had it.
'How could it possibly be Stella?' everyone thought in disbelief.
"Stella, I was the one who got in. Are you sure you're not remembering it wrong?" Anna said, feigning innocence.
Hearing Anna say that, Fiona immediately caught on and played along.
"That's right, Stella. Whatever you want, we can give it to you, but you can't just accuse us of things that aren't true," Fiona chimed in.
"Then why don't we just go to Quentiham University and check the student records? Let's see whose name is actually on enrollment, mine or hers?" Stella retorted.
Anna and Fiona both started to panic.
Everyone could see right through it. The Hayes family had Anna go to Quentiham University pretending to be Stella. But honestly, most people could see why they did it.
Back then, Stella had been kidnapped and disappeared for three years. With that Quentiham University acceptance letter in hand, they couldn't just let it go unused.
Besides, they were twins. Having one step in for the other didn't seem all that crazy.
Stella caught the look on everyone's faces and immediately pressed the issue. "Alright, we can put the Quentiham University diploma aside for now.
"But Anna, why don't you tell us? What really happened with the kidnapper all those years ago?"
Everyone snapped their heads toward Anna. This was an absolute bombshell.
Anna's eyes flickered nervously, but Andrew was the first to explode.
He jabbed a finger at Stella, his anger barely contained. "What are you trying to say? That your sister is some wicked witch from a fairy tale, who hired a kidnapper to snatch you away?"
"Isn't that exactly what happened?" Stella shot back. She stayed perfectly calm, fixing Anna with a cold, unblinking stare that made her squirm.
Fiona jumped in right away. "Stella, how could you even think that about Anna? She's your sister. She's never done anything to hurt you. Why would she ever do something like this?"
"Anna, what do you have to say for yourself?" Stella pressed. Her eyes bore into Anna, piling on the pressure once more.
Max yanked Stella aside. "Stop blaming everything on Anna. She's so soft-hearted. She'd cry for days if she accidentally stepped on an ant. She's always cared about you so much.
"The day you were taken, she cried non-stop, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and she lost so much weight. You want to suspect me, fine, but how could you ever suspect her?"
"Anna, do you really think there's no bad blood between us?" Stella asked, her voice steady but cold.
Anna's eyes flickered with panic, but she tried her best to stay calm. She tried to say something, but Stella didn't give her the chance.
Stella said, "Why don't I show everyone this scar right here? Maybe it's been hidden by other scars, but I can tell you all exactly what happened.
"When I was five, Anna said she wanted some hot water, so Fiona made her a cup of scalding hot water and put it on the table."
She continued, "I was just playing nearby, totally unaware she'd knock that cup over and spill it all over me. The pain was unbearable. I cried my eyes out.
"But Anna cried even harder than I did. When Fiona saw the red marks on her, she immediately picked her up and took her away, leaving me there, still scalded and soaking in the hot water, completely ignored."
Stella paused and continued, "Even after several days, no one noticed that I had been burned.
"I saw it clearly. Anna did it on purpose. It wasn't until Grandma gave me a bath that she finally noticed the scar, but by then, it had already healed."
Stella's tone was cold as she said, "Those nights, the pain kept me from sleeping at all.
"I went to Mr. Hayes, to Fiona, even to Max, but they all said I was just being dramatic, that I only wanted attention because Anna was hurt. They told me to stop acting out and literally shut me outside the door.
"So, tell me, are you really going to say that never happened?"
