Chapter 162

Chapter 162:
Back at the villa, he didn’t waste a second. Picking up his phone, he called Kody.
His tone was cold and full of intent.
“Stella forged an identity. I want you to file a report with the police immediately. She’s broken the law, so make sure they arrest her.”
Kody was stunned by the order. Was Marc seriously intending to involve the police over Stella?
“Mr. Walsh… are you really going through with this?”
“I gave you instructions. Just follow them!” Marc barked, slamming the phone onto the desk.
Though uncomfortable with the direction things were heading, Kody didn’t dare question him further. He followed through and contacted the authorities.
The response came quickly. Sylvia’s legal status was confirmed without issue.
Kody was left feeling both relieved and puzzled. On one hand, he was glad things were in order and that Stella wouldn’t face legal trouble. But on the other, he couldn’t understand how it was even possible. The police gave no detailed explanation, only that their system had verified everything as legitimate.
After hanging up, Kody returned to Marc and relayed the update.
Marc’s face twisted in disbelief.
“Legal? How could that be? She’s always gone by Stella Russell. How can she change her entire identity and have it be considered lawful? That shouldn’t be allowed!”
Kody had no answer either, but seeing how tense Marc had become, he offered a careful suggestion.
“Mr. Walsh, I doubt the police would mislead us. If they confirmed everything, then Ms. Russell must’ve handled it properly. Maybe it’s time to drop this.”
He couldn’t understand Marc’s obsession. This was the same man who once claimed to love Stella—and yet now, he was dragging her through unnecessary drama.
Marc had been the one who strayed first. Even if he was struggling to accept that Stella had truly let go, none of this justified making a scene.
Marc didn’t bother continuing the conversation with Kody. Instead, he pulled up the Department of Motor Vehicles’ contact details and dialed the number himself, repeating his accusations directly.
“And what exactly would you like us to do with this information?” the director asked, keeping a professional tone despite finding Marc’s complaint almost laughable.
“I’m telling you that Stella Russell committed identity fraud,” Marc pressed. “If your department refuses to investigate, I’ll make your inaction public.”
The director almost chuckled at the threat.
“Sir, both our office and law enforcement have confirmed that Ms. Russell’s name change complied with legal—”
