Chapter 735 Kelly Brought In
Melissa was already fuming inside.
Facing Madam Evelyn's pressure, she had sworn every vicious oath she could think of.
The Bogden family might have declined, but Mr. Bogden still carried weight in Falvaria.
And in Falvaria, people believed in oaths.
To swear falsely-especially on something one had truly done-was unthinkable.

If Melissa really had been guilty, she would have hidden behind her father’s influence, not staked her life on
curses like these.
Stella turned to Madam Evelyn. “Mom, maybe it really isn’t her?”
For Melissa to dare make such heavy oaths, it was possible she wasn’t lying.
Madam Evelyn narrowed her eyes, studying Melissa.
Melissa threw her hands up. “It really wasn’t me! If it was, may | be struck dead by lightning right now, would
that satisfy you?”
She was on the verge of madness.
Who had done this? If she ever found out, she swore she’d make them pay
dearly.
The more she thought, the angrier she became. Wanting Abraham was one thing, but at least she had wanted
him openly. To schin secret like this, and to drag her down as a scapegoat-this was intolerable.
A thousand ways to torture the real culprit flashed through her mind.
Madam Evelyn glanced at the butler. “Send her away.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this point, it seemed unlikely Melissa was
the one.
The butler stepped forward. “Mrs. Bogden, my apologies. It seems there has been a misunderstanding.”
“What do you mean?”
“This matter is concluded,” he said.
Melissa blinked, stunned. “Concluded? Just like that?”
Her mind stalled. She stared from the butler to Madam Evelyn. What did they mean, it was just over?
This wasn’t right.
But... “It’s... over?”
Shouldn't there be compensation? She'd been dragged out of bed in the middle of the night!
Half-asleep, terrified she was being kidnapped, then forced through the whole ordeal in silence-her heart had
nearly given out.

And now it just ended here?
Madam Evelyn's voice was calmn. “Tell my butler what you'd like. He'll see you are compensated”
The message was clear she would be given something in retur
Melissa was still unhappy, but she dared not push further in front of Madam Evelyn.
With a huff, she rose. The butler gestured politely. “This way, Mrs. Bogden.”
Melissa shot Stella a look before turning away.
Her lips twisted in disdain. Abraham was too desirable. With a husband like that, Stella would never have peace.
Somewhere, swoman would always be scheming in the dark.
But who had done it this time?
And why had she been dragged in to take the fall?
Did she really look like someone who would send such a vile thing?
The thought left her seething.
After Melissa was gone, Madam Evelyn looked to Stella. “You think it wasn’t her?”
“In Falvaria, people don’t swear like that lightly,” Stella said.
Especially not when they'd actually done the thing in question.
But Madam Evelyn's eyes stayed cold. “That isn’t certain. There are people willing to risk even their lives for
what they want. What's a false oath to them?”
So to her, Melissa's innocence was far from proven.
Given the Bogden family’s weakened state, she couldn't rule it out.
Stella frowned, but said nothing.
“Bring Kelly,” Madam Evelyn ordered.

But those days were long gone.
Now, she looked nothing like her former self-disheveled, fallen.
Environment shaped people. It could raise them high, or grind them into the mud.
Chapter 735 Kelly Brought in
Once, Kelly had despised Stella as nothing but a Dawson foster child, sneering and stepping on her
whenever she could.
Now, her eyes burned with fury and resentment as she looked at Stella.
It was the first tStella had seen her since that incident three years ago.
Their gazes locked.
Kelly’s glare was sharp, vicious.
Madam Evelyn's expression hardened. “It seems your years in prison taught you nothing.”
Kelly froze.
