Chapter 1136

[ 723 words ]

His face pale with fury, Yale stood frozen in the living room. The mere thought of

what Xander and Yvonne had put them through over the last few days sent a sharp, suffocating pang of anger through his chest.

Curse Xander! Curse Yvonne!

Mona had just turned to go upstairs and confront Tristan when her phone buzzed. It was Berry.

Swearing under her breath, she spun around and hurried out to the quiet backyard to answer the call.

“I told you not to call me while I’m in Ferrowland. I will contact you when it’s safe,” Mona hissed, her usual maternal warmth completely replaced by frantic panic.

Her mind was currently a chaotic mess thanks to Yvonne. There was no room left for tenderness.

“Mom, I need to come back,” Berry demanded.

Mona gasped, her breath hitching.

Her voice instinctively spiked in panic before she caught herself, looking around wildly to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

“What?”

Berry’s voice turned into a hysterical shriek. “Ronald is getting married! I saw the news reports about their wedding venue. I am the only one who can be his bride! Stella cannot marry him!”

Mona squeezed her eyes shut. This was a disaster.

“Do you think coming back right now will magically make you his bride?” Mona asked through gritted teeth, keeping her voice to a furious whisper.

This was the Schultz estate; she didn’t dare speak too loudly. But hearing that Berry wanted to come to Ferrowland sent genuine terror coursing through her veins.

Yvonne was already suspicious, and worse, she had dragged Tristan into the investigation. If Berry showed up now, it would be an absolute death sentence. If Tristan discovered Berry’s true identity, Mona would lose everything.

Tristan was already digging into her past. Forget coming to Ferrowland-Berry couldn’t even stay in Novaderma safely anymore.

“I don’t care!” Berry sobbed uncontrollably. “I am going to be Ronald’s bride! I will be his wife! I can’t wait any longer. I’ll die if I have to keep waiting! Mom, it hurts. Do you know how grand their wedding is going to be?”

The mere thought of Ronald and Stella’s lavish wedding made Berry shake with unadulterated rage.

“Have you completely lost your mind?” Mona snapped. “Have you forgotten why you underwent all that plastic surgery in the first place? Take a good look in the mirror. Your face isn’t a perfect replica of Stella’s yet!”

“But I—”

“I am warning you. Do not come to Ferrowland. You will get me killed. Yvonne and Tristan are already digging into our connection.”

If Berry came now, she would be handing their enemies the final nail for their coffins on a silver platter. Mona couldn’t even stomach the thought.

Berry’s hysterical crying abruptly stopped. She sucked in a harsh breath. “Why are they suspicious?”

“I don’t know how it started, but you can’t stay in Novaderma anymore. Pack your things and go hide in Yoreland immediately.”

Mona was entirely panicked. Yvonne had brought up her trips to Novaderma multiple times. It wasn’t a coincidence; Yvonne definitely knew something.

“It’s that serious?” Berry asked, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.

“Get to Yoreland right now. We’ll figure out the rest later.”

“Fine,” Berry muttered. “Send me money.”

Mona’s expression hardened. “I don’t have any money to give you right now.” “What? Mom, you—”

“Just get to Yoreland!” Mona barked and immediately hung up.

The mention of money made her head throb violently. She had never been subjected to such humiliating powerlessness. She swore she was going to make Yvonne pay for this.

She was going absolutely insane.

Meanwhile, Susanna and Hull were reeling from a completely different kind of shock.

After the initial panic wore off, they finally accepted the truth: the bump in her stomach was a baby, not a lethal tumor.

After all, no one with a terminal tumor possessed an appetite like Susanna’s. The woman was eating for an entire army; it was completely abnormal.

Hull sat on the edge of the bed, carefully cradling her in his arms Susanna nuzzled affectionately against his chest. “How did we make a she murmured in disbelief. aby

Hull remained perfectly still, too afraid to even shift his weight or touch her too firmly. The second he learned of her pregnancy Susanna had transformed into a delicate, fragile treasure in his eyes.

As he held her, a deep, overwhelming tenderness settled into his gaze.

He knew what he had to do. His plans needed to accelerate. He had a family to protect now.
