Chapter 2081
One of Stella's classmates joked, "What? Did you have a baby? You were the first to get
married in our class. Your kid must be running around by now, right?"
"Yeah. They stick to me like glue," Stella chuckled.
"You're not very thoughtful, you know. You got married without even telling us, sneaking
off like that."
"Oh, come on. We had just graduated back then, and none of US had much money. How
could I have the heart to tell everyone? I couldn't just let you guys spend on me," Stella
replied.
Everyone laughed upon hearing that. "After we're done visiting Luanna, let's all hang out.
Bring your husband along, too. I want to see who managed to snag our class's beauty."
Stella put her hands together and begged, "Please spare me, everyone. My husband isn't
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanything special. He just runs a small business to make ends meet. He's decent-looking,
but he's got a temper. If I bring him, and he says something unpleasant, all of you will
think twice about inviting me out again.”
"Stop pretending, Stella. We all know your standards."
After a few more jokes, Stella said, "Let me go in and visit Luanna first, then we can chat."
Aldor quietly followed behind with a fruit basket, thinking, 'And Mr. Kane was worried that
Mrs. Kane wouldn't be able to hold a conversation. Hah. He's overthinking it. Mrs. Kane
can charm anyone with just a few words.'
The class monitor and others were still in the ward. When Stella entered, two female
classmates were consoling the person lying in the bed.
Stella did not say anything, quietly assessing the person.
It did look like Luanna, but something seemed off.
Stella's gaze shifted from the person's face to their wrist.
Luanna had a faint birthmark on her wrist, shaped like a crescent moon. But the person
lying in the bed had nothing.
Stella pressed her lips together and said nothing.
After everyone finished their visits and left, Stella approached and sat by the bedside. She
took out an envelope from her bag and placed it next to the person's pillow.
"My condolences," she said in a low voice.
The person stiffened, suddenly looking up at her.
Stella pulled down her sleeve and said, "She has a birthmark on her wrist. Anyone who
knows her well would recognize it at a glance. You can't keep up the act for long."
The fake Luanna was speechless.
"Mr. Moore gave you the heads up, didn't he, Lina?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe person in the hospital bed was not Luanna. It was her twin sister Lina, whom Stella
had heard Luanna mention but had yet to meet.
Lina was the one who sought Marshall's help to investigate the people mentioned in the
will. Stella deduced that it was likely his idea for Lina to pose as Luanna to gather
evidence.
However, Stella found it to be too risky. 'Anyone involved with contrabands is an outlaw.
What exactly is Marshall up to?' she thought.
Lina looked at her, eyes filled with wariness. "How did you know?" she asked.
Stella's voice was grave. "It doesn't matter how I know. Lina, if you really want to avenge
Luanna, you should go to the police. Marshall is just a lawyer; he has no enforcement
power. If anything happens to you during this process, think about what would happen to
Luanna and your parents."
"I agree," Marshall's voice came from the doorway as Stella finished speaking.
