My Sister Dumped Her Newborn on Me After Giving Birth, and Mom Made Me Pretend It's Mine. Then I Uncovered Why the Baby Is Worth Billions to Another Family.
Stella's phone buzzed non - stop as her mother's text message arrived. “Bring that baby back home right now. Or we will call the authorities. Tell them you kidnapped him.”.
Vivian, seeing the distress on Stella's face, stepped towards her. He picked up the crying baby. Albeit clumsily. And told her. “Save that text on your device right away.”.
Just then, a corporate attorney rushed into the room with a digital tablet. “Mr. Julian, the young woman’s family has published a public statement on social media,” he informed.
Stella's heart sank as she heard this. She knew her family was up to no good. But the scale of it was yet to be revealed.
Her mother had recorded a tearful video in front of their family home. In the video, she claimed that Stella had stolen her sister Luna's newborn while the family was asleep.
Beneath the video, they attached an old, unflattering photo of Stella from high - school. The caption described her as an unstable person with a history of violent outbursts.
Stella stared at the screen in disbelief. She felt as if the ground had disappeared beneath her feet, her world was shattering.
Vivian, calm as ever, read the article and instructed her, “Don't post any public response just yet.”
Frustrated and trembling, Stella asked, “Why shouldn't I defend myself right now?”
Vivian replied, “If your sister managed what I think she did, this scheme didn't start today.”
It dawned on Stella that her family wasn't just stealing her future. They were using her as a shield from something big, though she didn't know what.
She realized that she was in the middle of a web of lies. Schemes. And this public attack was just the beginning of her troubles.
Uncovering the Scheme
The corporate security team's background check on Luna was thorough. They dug deep into her recent activities in the city.
An investigator reported, “Luna spent six months in our corporate asset - management department. Her internship ended three weeks ago.”
Henry, on hearing this, stood up abruptly. His expression grew dark as he asked, “Which directories did she access?”
The investigator explained. “Two days. Giving birth. She used a supervisor's login to download restricted trust records from the Reed family trust.”.
Just then, Isabella Reed, Henry's mother, entered the office. “What documents were stolen from our servers?” she demanded.
“Succession clauses, voting rights, and control mechanisms that activate if the primary heir is incapacitated,” the investigator answered.
Stella looked at the baby in the bassinet. Wondered. “What does a baby have to do with these trust files?”.
Isabella turned to her. Said coldly. “A direct male descendant's birth modifies specific clauses in our governance docs.”.
Stella asked, “How much money are we talking about here?” trying to understand the scope.
Isabella revealed, “We're discussing control over asset portfolios worth billions of dollars.”
Stella then remembered Victoria insisting Luna avoid a scandal. It was all a lie to hide the baby's father for leverage.
As the security team continued to analyze the situation, the gravity of Luna's actions became even clearer.
The implications of accessing those restricted records could have far - reaching consequences for the Reed family trust.
The DNA Revelation
The doctor entered the office, holding a sealed envelope with the lab results. Stella nervously watched as the doctor opened it and began to speak.
“The paternity probability is rated at 99.99 percent,” the doctor announced. “Maxwell Reed is indeed the biological father.”
Stella let out a sigh of relief. She had been right all along. Maxwell looked at the baby in the bassinet with a newfound sense of awe.
Just then, Stella's phone rang. It was her mother. Maxwell clicked the speaker - phone button, and Victoria's voice came through loud and clear.
“Stella, you listen to me and bring that baby back home right now!” Victoria shouted.
“This is Maxwell Reed speaking,” Maxwell stated calmly. There was a long silence on the other end.
“Mr. Reed… this is a private family matter we can handle internally,” Victoria finally said.
“The infant in my office is my biological son,” Maxwell replied firmly. Victoria stammered, trying to deny it.
“The certified genetic testing results state otherwise,” Maxwell said coldly. Victoria's tone quickly changed.
“In that case, we need to meet immediately. Isabella is the mother, and we represent her legal interests,” she said, trying to sound calculating.
“Isabella abandoned the newborn, and you tried to make Stella take the blame,” Maxwell countered.
“Stella has always been jealous of her sister. Causes trouble!” Victoria argued. But Maxwell hung up the call.
Stella knew this was far from over, but at least the truth about the baby's father was out.
Legal Confrontation
An hour. The phone call. Local police officers arrived at the corporate building due to the kidnapping report filed by Stella's parents.
The legal team quickly presented the threatening text messages sent by Stella's mother, showing the coercion.
The investigating officer then requested access to the home security recordings. Stella's parents had given remote access readily.
They were confident that the exterior driveway camera would show Stella leaving with the baby, proving their claim.
However, they overlooked an interior hallway camera that had captured all the key interactions inside the house.
In the footage, Stella's mother, Victoria, walked into Stella's bedroom and placed the baby on the mattress.
Victoria was heard saying. “Tessa tomorrow. We're telling everyone this child is yours so Luna doesn't miss this chance.”.
A few minutes later, Stella's father, Henry, appeared in the frame and questioned the plan.
Henry asked, “What if Stella refuses to go along with this?” His concern was evident.
Victoria replied coldly, “We'll say she's been jealous of Luna her whole life.” Her plan was callous.
The security footage now clearly exposed the family's scheme to shift the burden onto Stella.
The police officers watched the footage with serious expressions, starting to understand the real situation.
Stella stood by, relieved that the truth was finally coming out and justice might be on her side.
