Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 248: Chapter 248

Stella said, "Why would I suspect him? Eleanor transferred all her shares to me before she passed away. Everyone at Hayes Group knows about it. Neither I nor Jordan would ever do something like that to her."
"But you..." Stella hesitated, her gaze sharp.
"Me? What are you trying to say?" Anna asked, eyes wide in disbelief.
"Eleanor always suspected you were involved in my kidnapping years ago. Who knows, maybe you killed her just to keep her quiet?" Stella accused.
Everyone was left shocked and speechless by Stella's words. They thought, 'Anna had always seemed so gentle and fragile. Sure, Eleanor hadn't been as kind to her as Stella, but could she have gone so far as murder?' Instinctively, everyone took a step back.
Anna, clearly angry, said, "Stella, stop making up stories and trying to turn everyone against me. You know I'd never do something like that—"
"How is that impossible? I just saw Emily at the hospital, and she was all jumpy when she saw me. I don't think you could've done it alone; someone must have helped you. Was it Emily?" Stella shot back.
"That's nonsense. Stella, you had the biggest reason to want her dead!" Anna retorted, her voice rising. Anna kept hurling accusations at her.
Stella's lips curled into a subtle, almost unnoticeable smile. "Honestly, it's not that complicated. Whoever was on the last call in Eleanor's phone is probably the one involved. The fact that I can say this out loud means I've already got solid evidence."
Anna's expression changed. "Emily is your bestie, isn't she? Why would she do something like that for you?" Anna demanded.
"Because she was never my bestie; she was yours. You were the one who planted her by my side. What were you after, Anna? Why don't you go ahead and tell everyone the truth?" Stella shot back.
People were even more stunned now. After all, they were twins. If they stood side by side, one could barely tell them apart unless one looked closely.
'Who would've thought the younger sister would do something like this? What was she after? Was she trying to hurt Stella?' Everyone couldn't help but wonder.
With that thought, everyone couldn't help but recall the kidnapping Stella mentioned. 'Could it be that Anna and Emily had been scheming together all this time?' they wondered.
One said people could not judge a book by its cover. Maybe the one who looked the most delicate and harmless, Anna, was the scariest one here.
Realizing what Stella was up to and seeing everyone whispering about her, Anna snapped, "Stella, you're trying to set me up!"
Stella smirked and said, "If you didn't do anything, why are you freaking out?"
"You..." Anna stammered, completely lost for words.
Stella leaned close to Anna's ear and whispered, "Anna, God sees everything. Even if we don't know what you've done, God does. Sooner or later, you'll pay for it."
Anna stumbled, nearly losing her balance. Just then, Monroe rushed over and held Anna tightly in his arms.
"Anna, are you okay?" Monroe asked, his voice full of concern.
Anna's face was ashen, and she couldn't even bring herself to say she was fine. She just gazed at Monroe, looking so pitiful that it broke his heart.
Monroe looked Stella straight in the eye. "She's your own sister. What are you trying to do to her?"
"Why don't you ask her what she's done?" Stella retorted. Stella's face was cold and aloof, giving off an air of superiority.
"What could she even do? When she heard Mrs. Hayes had died, she almost cried and barely pulled herself together to rush here. What the hell did you do to her?" Monroe demanded angrily.
Stella shot Anna a look of pure contempt. "You really are a great actress. I wonder how much longer you can keep up the act. If you're devastated by Eleanor's death, you know what you should do."
She glanced at the security guards beside her. "Get them out of my sight. I don't want to see a single one of them here."
