NovelEnglishChapter 2340 Stella gritted her teeth and said, Ignore him.
Hes just being completely unreasonable.
But Robin wasnt ready to back down.
He shouted, Stella, if you had the nerve to accuse me, then you should also have the guts to admit you were wrong! Now that Im out, it proves you were slandering me.
You owean apology! Otherwise, Ill report you to the police for making false accusations.
Hearing Robins threat to involve the police, Bella immediately grasped the gravity of the situation.
She stepped forward, took a calming breath, and addressed Robin with a composed tone.
Stella is my daughter, and I know her well.
Shes not the type to make baseless accusations.
Could this all be a misunderstanding? Robin let out a derisive snort.
Of course, youd defend her.
Youre family.

Hmph, like mother, like daughter. Shes nothing but an uncultured brat with no sense of upbringing.
Stella couldnt hold back any longer.
Her anger boiled over as she retorted, Robin, you know exactly how you managed to walk out of the police station.
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Matthew, her eyes searching his for answers-a glimmer of hope flickering in them.
If he could offer a reasonable explanation, she might consider forgiving him for his mistake this time. Robin, however, remained smug.
Of course, I got out fair and square, he said with a self-satisfied grin.
So, Stella, you owean apology.
Otherwise, this wont end here.
Lindsay, silently observing Stellas reaction, quickly connected the dots.
She realized Stella had jumped to the conclusion that Matthew was responsible for Robins release.
Deciding to keep Stella in the dark, Lindsay chose to let the misunderstanding persist.
She cut in, trying to defuse the tension.
Robin, dont escalate things.
Were all family here, so lets not make this more unpleasant than it needs to be.
Stella must have had her reasons to suspect you.
Just be more mindful moving forward to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Turning to Stella, Lindsay offered a soft, apologetic smile.
Stella, Im really sorry.
Robin can be a bit impulsive, but please dont take it to heart.
Lets forgive him this once, okay? Bella, unable to hold back her frustration any Longer, snapped, This is outrageous! Youre all being unreasonable, yet somehow its Stella whos at fault? How is this even remotely fair? Betsey, unwilling to stay silent after Bellas outburst, stepped in to defend Robin.
Robin was wrongfully accused from the start! Now that hes cleared, whats so wrong about him demanding justice? You shouldnt be interfering in this.
The argument spiraled out of control, with voices rising and everyone talking over one another.
The scene was pure chaos.
Bella, already breathless with indignation, grew visibly pale.
Her breathing turned shallow, and she stumbled, nearly fainting.

Seeing this, Stella immediately abandoned the argument and rushed to her mothers side, cradling her as Alissa frantically reached for her phone to call an ambulance.
Betsey, noticing Bellas condition, shifted uneasily. Still, she muttered under her breath, is she faking it to get sympathy? Stellas head snapped up, her glare sharp and unrelenting. Fury burned in her eyes as she turned to Matthew, her voice trembling with both anger and disappointment.
Matthew, do you think this is my fault too? Matthew met her gaze, his expression conflicted.
His heart ached, but he forced himself to keep his tone calm and measured.
This isnt about blame, Stella.
Its the polices decision, and we have to respect it.
Stella listened, letting out a couple of bitter laughs.
The disappointment in her eyes deepened as she said coldly, Alright, if thats how it is, Ill keep digging into En.
Robins issue. The truth has to cout, and I refuse to let those in power smother it.
With a resolute turn, she took Bellas arm and guided her toward the parking lot, without looking back.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment toward Matthew.
Stella and Alissa held Bella between them, rushing toward their car.
Bellas energy was waning fast, so they had to put in considerable effort to keep her upright.
