NovelBookChapter 37
When seeing her injured and bleeding, Haynes' first words weren't ones of
concern. Instead, he asked, "Do you realize your mistake?"
Seeing her in such a state, even a stranger passing by would likely stop and ask if she was okay. Yet her husband
was waiting for her to admit fault. Stella couldn't help but let out a laugh.
Haynes frowned. "What's so funny?"
Stella wiped the blood from her forehead, though the wilted lettuce leaves and egg yolk smeared across her
clothes left her looking quite the mess.
"I'm laughing at how all my efforts over the years went down the drain," she replied.
She chose not to bother cleaning herself up. Through the car window, her gaze met Haynes', her face blank as
she said, "Is this your way of makingregret? By staging an online witch hunt and sending a mob after me, all
to get revenge for your beloved Rachel?"

Haynes was silent for a few moments. "Do you think I'm behind all this?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Stella chuckled. "I moved to a new place, and even with the best detective work, no one
should have foundso quickly and accurately. Who else could have orchestrated this? Didn't you have Jasper
warnthat I'd regret it?"
She locked eyes with Haynes. "If you can't bear to let Rachel suffer injustice, why not just divorce me? Then you
two could be together openly and rightfully."
A hint of anger flickered across Haynes' face. "Stella, I've explained countless times that Rachel and | aren't like
what you think. Can you stop this baseless ?"
Stella sneered, "If you don't divorce me, expect more of this ‘.""
Haynes' gaze turned icy. "So, you will keep being stubborn?"
Stella replied firmly, "Yes."
Haynes laughed bitterly. "Fine. Let's see if you never ctofor help."
With that, Haynes drove off, leaving Stella standing there.
Another day and night went by, and Stella remained the center of everyone's attention.
Haynes hadn't spoken up for her or tried to suppress the news. His apparent indifference left Stella feeling like a
pariah, with everyone eager to have a piece of her.
While Haynes stayed silent, Rachel took to social media. "My hospitalization has nothing to do with Ms. Cameron.
The incident by the lake was an accident, and we've reached an understanding. | don't intend to hold Ms.
Cameron accountable."
"As for the rumors about Ms. Cameron stealing my boyfriend, that's ancient history. Please, let's not dredge this
up again."
Rachel's post sent the inteinto a frenzy.
By stating that the lake incident was resolved and not pursuing Stella, it only confirmed the rumor that Stella had
pushed Rachel. Rachel brought up the past without clarifying, subtly implying Stella had indeed been the "other
woman."
However, Rachel, Haynes, and Jasper knew the truth. When Stella and Haynes got together, Rachel and Haynes
had parted ways.

Then, another scandal erupted, linking Stella with Antoney. Renowned for his looks and talent, Antoney was a
well-known musician. Yet being entangled with a married woman, especially Haynes' wife, brought him his fair
share of backlash.
And still, the storm wasn't over.
As if things couldn't get worse, the police knocked on Stella's door. "Ms. Cameron, we received a report accusing
you of attempted murder. We need you to cwith us for questioning."
The police took Stella to the interrogation room.
Though the intewas rife with conspiracy theories, with scalling for her head, speculation wasn't
evidence. Like Rachel's slip into the water and the near- miss with the car, none of it could prove Stella had
murderous intent.
The interrogation dragged on from morning until night. Finally, having extracted nothing of substance, the
interrogators had no choice but to release her.
As she left the room, a young officer hurried over to the lead interrogator and whispered something in his ear.
The interrogator's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked softly, "Are you sure?"
