Chapter 733 The Interrogation
Stella nodded. “Yeah.”
“Then cwithto question them,” Madam Evelyn said smoothly.
She had already brought in the two most suspicious women. To dispel Stella’s doubts, she wanted her present
during the questioning.

Confident nothing would go wrong, she also intended to teach Stella something: even if there was guilt, Stella
should be the one to deal with it herself.
As the Dawson family’s matriarch-in-waiting, there were moments when she needed to show real authority.
“Alright,” Stella agreed.
Abraham set down his glass of milk. “I'll ctoo.”
“There's no need,” Madam Evelyn cut in firmly. “This is a matter for women. Better handled by women.
Every incident like this was training for Stella. She was kind and gentle, but as the Dawson family’s mistress, she
also had to be shrewd and decisive.
Of course, Madam Evelyn had no idea how Stella had already handled the Reed and Keene families back in
Rivermount.
Stella glanced at Abraham. “I'll go myself.”
“Stella...” Abraham’s voice held worry.
“I'll be with her,” Madam Evelyn reassured. She knew he was worried, especially with Stella carrying triplets, but
she herself would be there.
And with that, she led Stella away.
By the water garden stood a small pavilion.

together, her expression grew stormy.
Kelly wasn’t there; the butler must have intended to question them one by one.
Melissa clenched down on her anger.
She had been yanked straight out of bed last night. At first, she thought she was being kidnapped. Instead, she
was brought back to Falvaria?
She had been abroad all this time, ever since that banquet where Abraham’s cold treatment of her had turned
the entire Dawson clan against her.
Life had been unbearable, so she had left the country.
And now they had dragged her back? For what?

The memory of being pulled from bed and marched here still made her seethe. Her fury was barely restrained.
“Madam Evelyn, what is the meaning of this?”
But because this was the Dawson family, she didn’t dare go too far.
Madam Evelyn and Stella sat together.
She looked at Stella with a pointed glance. “Stella.”
Stella nodded, lifting her hand. A servant stepped forward with a small box and placed it in her palm.
She took it, then narrowed her eyes at Melissa-and flung it at her feet.
The box popped open, and a pregnancy test clattered onto the ground, landing right by Melissa's shoe.
Stella’s gaze sharpened. “Miss Melissa, this is yours, isn’t it?”
Melissa blinked at the double lines on the stick, her eyes wide with shock as she looked back at Stella.
“W-what do you mean by this?”
Her confusion was genuine.
Madam Evelyn's tone went cold. “Miss Dawson, I’ve seen plenty of women putting on acts over the years.”
Especially back when Stella and Abraham's relationship hadn't been certain.
The Dawson family had seen countless women throw themselves forward. Stried to act refined, asking to be
treated as daughters. Others were blunt, promising to serve her for life.
At banquets, schemes cin all forms.
Madam Evelyn had seen every trick imaginable-but Melissa's ploy was a first.
Melissa's anger flared, but she still didn’t dare openly defy her. After all, the Dawson family wasn’t as invincible
as it once had been.
Taking a deep breath, she said carefully, “I don’t understand what Madam Evelyn is implying.”
