Their gazes met and clashed, Anna and Stella staring each other down. But Anna's eyes darted away, unable to meet Stella's stare. Stella's eyes were like a bottomless, lifeless well, chilling to the bone.
Everyone was waiting for Anna to answer, but Anna just couldn't force out a single word.
Lionel had come over, too, but he stayed silent the whole time, clearly unable to watch any longer.
"Stella, that's enough," Lionel finally spoke up. "Aren't you just trying to force Anna to confess?
"We all know how much you've suffered out there all these years, but that doesn't mean you can make Anna take the blame for something like this."
"Who allowed you to talk to my wife like that?" Jordan finally snapped.
Jordan had planned to keep quiet. This was Stella's moment, and with Anna's whole family here, he trusted Stella to handle it herself.
But as soon as Lionel opened his mouth, Jordan just couldn't take it.
Lionel glanced at Jordan, then back at Stella, waiting for her answer.
Stella's face was cold as ice. "I never tried to lead Anna on, and I never forced her to do anything. She knows better than anyone what she's done."
Anna, as if she'd finally found a way out, put on her most pitiful, innocent look as she turned to Stella. "Stella, if you really want me to admit it, fine, I'll admit it.
"All these years, you've had all kinds of complaints about me. If you've convinced yourself I did it, then sure, it was me. You can do whatever you want to me, but please, just don't hurt Mom, Dad, Max, or even Lionel."
Anna continued, "I know you're sick, and we'll cooperate with the doctors. Today's our birthday, and honestly, we really haven't ever celebrated your birthday properly before.
"We won't upset you. Whatever makes you happy, just do it, okay?"
Stella strode forward so quickly that before anyone could react, she was already standing right in front of Anna, and with a loud smack, her hand landed hard across Anna's face.
Smack. Another slap, just as sharp and merciless, came. It was Fiona who slapped Stella.
Jordan quickly pulled Stella back.
Everyone was shocked by what had just happened.
Everyone saw the way Fiona immediately rushed to fuss over Anna. If anyone had doubted Stella's words before, Fiona's actions right then and there said it all.
Fiona, completely oblivious to the stares from everyone around her, fixed Stella with a cold, hard glare and snapped, "Why did you hit her?"
"She's twisting everything, making black seem white. Everything that's happened to me today is because of her. So what if I hit her?" Stella snapped back.
Stella continued, "I might not have the evidence right now, but I will soon. And the moment I do, I'm going straight to the police. Anna was absolutely not innocent in that kidnapping all those years ago."
Fiona tried to slap Stella again, but before she could land another hit, Jordan grabbed her wrist.
Fiona wasn't nearly as strong as Jordan, so she could only drop her hand in frustration, her voice shaking with anger as she snapped, "Stella, that's enough.
"Yes, your misfortune is our fault, but why do you insist on dragging Anna down with you?"
Fiona continued, "What did Anna ever do to you? What kind of deep hatred do you have for her that you have to set her up like this? I can't believe I ever gave birth to a daughter like you.
"You're right. I went and erased your name from the family. With a daughter like you, I should've just strangled you the moment you were born."
Everyone gaped at Fiona in utter shock. 'Did those words really just come out of a mother's mouth?' everyone thought in disbelief.
Then, right after saying those harsh words, Fiona immediately turned to fuss over Anna, her tone gentle and worried.
Anna, meanwhile, put on a pitiful face, looking like she was blaming herself for making her mom and sister fight.
It was only then that everyone started to realize that Anna might look all soft and fragile on the outside, but she definitely wasn't as innocent as she seemed.
Andrew jabbed a finger at Stella, his face twisted with anger. "Unbelievable, we came here today to try and patch things up, but you just had to blow everything up like this.
"Forget your birthday party, then. We're out of here. Let's go."
Everyone was waiting for Anna to answer, but Anna just couldn't force out a single word.
