Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 993

Stella eased herself down, one hand resting protectively on her rounded belly as she took the seat across from Melissa.

Melissa met her gaze with a desperate, almost pleading look. “Star, that pregnancy test wasn’t mine, I swear. I think it belongs to that Berry girl.”

Berry. The name rang more than a distant bell for Stella. And it was Melissa who had just brought her this piece of news.

Stella reached for the photos on the table. The images showed a woman leaving a cosmetic surgery clinic. The shots were taken from a distance, but even so, it was clear—the woman already looked alarmingly like Stella, almost as if she were a faded reflection.

“The minute I saw this, I started digging,” Melissa said. “She’s copying everything about you—your style, your hair. Just look at her!”

“Yeah, you can see it right here,” Stella replied quietly, studying the photos. The fashion was unmistakably her usual look, the hair styled just so—down to the last detail. No wonder, at first glance, Stella had thought she was staring at herself.

“She looks just like you... it’s unreal.” Stella's voice was barely a whisper. She couldn’t believe that the Schultz family—or rather, Mona Schultz herself—had orchestrated something this devious behind closed doors.

“She really is Mona’s daughter?” Stella asked, her brow furrowing.

“As real as it gets! Those two are keeping things seriously under wraps right now. I only managed to get these shots by accident when I happened to be shopping at Novaderma. Ever since then, Berry’s made sure to stay totally covered whenever she goes out,” Melissa replied. “And look—I checked Mona’s visits to Novaderma over the past few years. Almost every time, she was there with Berry.”

Stella took Melissa’s phone, quickly sent the screenshots to herself, and handed it back.

Melissa gave her a hopeful look. “So? Does this mean the Nortons are off the hook?”
