Matthew shook his head and clarified, “Stella is certain that she took the hair directly from Bella’s head.
No one else touched it.
”
Neville’s face showed his distress; the situation was becoming increasingly complicated.
Suddenly, he remembered another detail.
“Didn’t the paternity test results of Stella and Haley confirm their relationship?”
Neville continued, “If Haley and Stella’s initial test result wasn’t faked, then the sample belonged to Stella’s biological mother.
This means the person behind Haley knows who Stella’s biological mother is and might even be close to her.
”
Matthew pondered this.
“Now that Haley is dead, even if your analysis is correct, we can’t verify it.
The dead cannot give witness,” Cordell reminded Neville.
Neville sighed.
“Let’s think of another way.
”
Listening to their discussion, Matthew became lost in thought.
Haley died suddenly; it seemed as if someone wanted to silence her.
He frowned and tapped his fingers on the armrest.
When Haley stayed at a hotel in Seamarsh, a man visited her but vanished after her death.
Matthew’s suspicions grew even more.
After a few moments, he looked at Neville.
“Find everyone Haley contacted.
”
Neville paused for a moment, and then understood what Matthew meant.
With a serious expression, he nodded.
“I’ll get right on it.
”
Meanwhile, Stella, Alissa, and Doreen were having dinner together.
It was Doreen’s first time in such an upscale restaurant, and she tried to contain her excitement as she looked around.
Alissa, flattered by Stella’s choice of venue, remarked, “It’s just a meal.
Any restaurant would have been fine.
This place must be expensive.
”
Doreen chimed in, “You don’t know yet, but Stella’s husband is Matthew, the CEO of Prosperity Group!”
Alissa was taken aback, and then smiled.
“No wonder you married early, Ms.
Anderson.
You found yourself an exceptional man.
”
Stella responded modestly, “I’m flattered.
Doreen exaggerates.
My husband is just an ordinary man with a family business.
”
Doreen added, “Stella’s husband is very capable, but Stella herself is outstanding.
When Prosperity Group started its clothing department, it was Stella’s designs that opened up the domestic market.
Her work caught Mrs.Content © copyrighted by .
Burke’s eye, and she was the first designer in this country to collaborate with Mia.
”
Doreen listed Stella’s accomplishments with admiration shining in her eyes.
Stella, embarrassed by the praise, smiled.
“I’ve just been lucky.
”
Doreen disagreed.
“Stella is too modest.
Achievements like these come from skill, not just mere Luck.
