Chapter 1165
[ 537 words ]
Berry flatly refused to believe it.
“No! That’s impossible! How could she know? How could she possibly know I look like Stella now?”
Berry was completely losing her grip on reality.
Yvonne might know she existed, but there was no way she could know about the facial alterations.
Panic surged through her veins. “If she knows about me… does she know we’re related?”
“Yes.”
Berry froze.
It was truly over.
The Schultz family’s wealth was the sole lifeline funding her expensive surgeries. If Yvonne exposed their mother-daughter connection, would they ever see another dime from Tristan?
Considering Tristan hadn’t even given her mother a proper title after all these years, Berry knew his affection was dangerously conditional.
If he found out about her, her mother’s precarious standing in the Schultz household would disintegrate.
They would become absolute nobodies.
The sheer terror of poverty gripped her. “Mom, this…”
“If you can find a way to slip out of Novaderma, do it immediately,” Mona urged.
All her previous arrogance had evaporated, leaving her face ashen and her voice hollow.
Yvonne had known from the very beginning…
Every ounce of chaos Yvonne had stirred up in the Schultz estate over the past few days was nothing but a cruel game to mock her!
Mona had actually deluded herself into thinking she could wrest control of the household away from Yvonne.
How breathtakingly naive.
Yvonne had been orchestrating everything from the shadows.
Yvonne had claimed she knew everything the moment she dropped Berry’s name,
but Mona now suspected Yvonne had known since the exact second she stepped foot into the Schultz home.
“But I can’t leave! What are we going to do? If Tristan’s men find me, you’re finished too!”
Berry panicked, her voice shrill.
“No, Mom, you cannot lose your place in the Schultz family. You have to fight Yvonne to the bitter end.”
“Don’t let that bitch win. Stop being so weak!”
Berry was absolutely frantic.
She knew perfectly well that if Mona fell from grace, they both went down.
Not only would their grand plans fail, but their very survival would be at stake.
Despite her disdain for Tristan, Berry had to admit her luxurious lifestyle in Novaderma was entirely funded by his deep pockets.
Mona had to survive this fallout.
Her daughter’s frantic desperation ignited a spark of survival instinct in Mona’s chest.
“You’re right. I cannot lose my place. I absolutely cannot!”
“Find somewhere to hide right Mona
Ordered sharply. “Now” not let Tristan’s men Seht. Do what happens stay out
you.”
They could not see her face.
If they did, an apocalyptic fallout would ensue.
Tristan would instantly connect
Sand realize that even til
Regina’s failu
sfatture Mona was
plotting against the Quinn family.
Given his lingering trauma from his past clashes with the Quinns, he would instantly
sever all ties with her.
She and Berry would be cast out onto the streets to beg…
“I’ll hide. I promise I won’t let them see my face,” Berry vowed.
“Has Tristan lost his damn mind? You’ve been with him for years and he doesn’t trust you at all? He actually takes the word of that bitch Yvonne?”
Berry was seething with rage.
Mona smiled bitterly.
Trust?
“He used to trust me. But the moment Yvonne married into the family, my position started crumbling.”
The mere mention of Yvonne made Mona grit her teeth in blinding rage.
It was all Yvonne’s fault.
“Just wait,” Berry seethed. “Once I take Stella’s place in the Quinn family, I will make Yvonne suffer.”
