Stella commanded, “Someone, take her away.”
Anna had come alone today, and while she had brought reporters with her, they were already gone. She was no match for the security guards.
Feeling faint, Anna attempted to collapse, catching a few of the guards off guard.
Stella spoke up, “Don’t mind her; her fainting is just an act.”
In fact, Stella had been investigating Anna’s health records over the past few days. Initially, they showed a variety of health issues, but gradually, things started to look suspicious.
Even if she had taken nutrients from her in the womb, with proper care, she could have recovered completely. There was no way Anna should be fainting at the drop of a hat.
It was later revealed that Anna had colluded with a doctor long ago. Every time she visited, the doctor would help her out.
Stella was shocked to discover that Anna had bribed that doctor when she was just five years old, handing over money given to her by Fiona
and Andrew.
By the time Anna was eighteen, she had even slept with that doctor, who had been helping her all these years.
Stella was stunned, almost speechless. She thought, “No wonder Anna had been scheming to kidnap me at such a young age; her mind must be too dark to imagine.”
Seeing that this tactic wasn’t working, Anna was thinking of other ways when Stella led her to the underground parking garage of the Hayes
Group.
Nola rushed in from outside, handing something to Stella.
Several security guards pinned Anna in place, keeping her pressed to the floor. Looking at the object in Stella’s hand, Anna asked, “What are you planning to do?”
“How effective is it?” Stella asked Nola.
Nola replied, “I’ve heard it’s pretty potent, but if she doesn’t get released, it could cause her to explode.”
Stella pretended to be frightened. “That sounds terrifying! But also quite interesting.”
Anna asked, “What are you going to do?”
“Hold her down,” Stella ordered the guards.
Stella walked over to Anna and lifted her head. Anna tried to bite her, but Stella dodged just in time.
Stella slapped her across the face. “Anna, did you just try to bite me?”
Anna glared at Stella. “If you dare do anything to me, Monroe won’t let you get away with it.”
Stella replied, “The one Monroe won’t let off the hook is you.”
Anna’s eyes flickered with uncertainty, “Does Stella know?”

Stella signaled to the guards. One of them held Anna’s mouth open while Stella poured the substance into her mouth, forcing her to swallow
- it.
Anna tried to spit it out, but since it was powdery, she couldn’t. “What did
you
make me take?”
Stella sneered. “Whatever you gave me before, that’s exactly what I gave you.”
“Stella, I’m your sister,” Anna shouted.
“And I’m your elder sister,” Stella shot back.
Glaring at her, Stella continued, “Before doing all those things, did you ever think about me being your real sister? You just wanted to steal our parents‘ love, our brother’s love, and everyone’s love. You wished I were dead. Too bad for you, I’m not.
“Even if I had died, I wouldn’t have come back to take revenge on you. Anna, remember, this is just the beginning”
Stella had a meeting to attend and didn’t have time to keep talking to Anna. She addressed the guards, “Throw her out.”
The guards hesitated, thinking, ‘If we throw her out and the drug takes effect, she could be in real danger. But considering Ms. Hayes almost… Ms. Hayes had said to leave it up to fate.‘ They proceeded to throw Anna out.
Stella and Nola entered the company. Nola gave a signal to one of the security guards, who understood and followed Anna.
Anna desperately needed to find Monroe. She quickly grabbed her phone and called him.
Anna exclaimed, “Monroe, listen to me. Stella has gone too far. I went to reconcile with her today, but she drugged me.
“She claimed I was the one who drugged her while she was on a business trip. I would never do something like that. I feel really unwell right now. You need to come over, or I might end up with some other guy…”
“Wait for me. I’m on my way,” Monroe replied, asking for her address and rushing out, skipping his meeting.
His assistant wanted to call out to him, but Monroe was moving too fast. The assistant watched him leave, feeling helpless and thinking, ‘How many times has this happened this month?
‘People are getting fed up. They’re complaining to Arthur, saying that Monroe only cares about women and not the company. At this rate, the company is doomed.
‘Initially, Arthur didn’t say anything, but recently he came to me, asking me to keep an eye on Monroe. If this continues, I’m afraid Monroe…‘
Stella had been in a meeting and had completely forgotten about Anna.
By the time she finished, it was already noon. Nola approached her and whispered, “Ms. Hayes, I have news about Anna.”
That was when Stella remembered. “What happened to her?”
Nola replied, “When the drug took effect, she randomly grabbed a guy on the street and tried to… well, you know.
“He was so scared he called the police, but just then, Lionel happened to pass by. By the time Monroe arrived, Lion d already been in the car with Anna several times.”
Stella chuckled but felt a bit sentimental. “How did it have to be Lionel? What a lucky break for them. What about Monroe?”
Nola said, “Monroe is very upset, but he has accepted the reality. He knows it was you who drugged Anna, so he might hold you responsible
“As for Lionel, he just beat up the guy and then left with Anna. What he does next, I’m not sure.”

Chapter 184
Stella responded, “It’s fine. I had already anticipated this outcome before i did it.”
Feeling hungry, Stella decided to take Nola out for a meal. By coincidence, she saw Andrew having dinner with a woman,
Andrew was sitting with his back to them, so he didn’t notice Stella. But Stella recognized the woman–Andrew’s old flame. Rumor had it that when Andrew first married Fiona, this woman had come back into his life, but Fioria won in the end.
Since then, no woman had managed to get close to Andrew; he had remained quite restrained. It seemed that after Fiona’s actions, Andreur was no longer content.
Stella and Nola chose a table away from Andrew’s line of sight and sat down to eat.
After their meal, Stella spotted Monroe.
Nola was worried about Stella and wanted to stay close. Stella asked her to stand aside but she kept an eye on her.
Monroe’s eyes were filled with such anger that it felt as if it would drown Stella. He stared at her for a long time before saying, “Stella, no one should act like you do.
“Even if you have experienced darkness, taking revenge on innocent people–isn’t that going too far?”
