The wedding dress had been beautifully tailored. Even if Stella gained a little more weight over the next two days, it wouldn't be an issue.
Yvonne had deliberately left enough extra fabric.
The two of them sat down, and a maid brought over some freshly squeezed fruit juice. Yvonne took a sip.
"Berry is starting to panic," Yvonne said smoothly.
Stella paused.
She looked at Yvonne.
As for Berry, even though she had absolutely nothing to do with Ronald, dealing with a mistress's illegitimate child was always somewhat sickening.
But with Yvonne stirring the pot, Stella at least felt a sense of vindication.
"Has Mona tried anything else against you?" Stella asked.
Even though Yvonne wasn't afraid of snakes.
Stella still worried that Mona might try to pull another terrifying stunt.
Since Yvonne was pregnant, Stella was terrified the stress might harm her.
"After the way I wrecked her plans, you think she'd dare try anything else?" Yvonne scoffed. "She's spent the last few days desperately begging Tristan for cash."
Earlier, Mona had been acting like a madwoman, desperately trying to snatch back control of the household finances.
But she quickly realized that Yvonne was utterly bulletproof, fearless, and completely unbothered by her petty provocations.
It was as if Mona possessed a full arsenal of deadly weapons but had absolutely nowhere to aim them.
Realizing she couldn't break Yvonne, she gave up on that front entirely.
Instead, she went straight to Tristan for the money.
"Would Tristan actually give it to her?" Stella asked.
"Absolutely not," Yvonne grinned. "If he handed it over, all the groundwork I laid with him would have been for nothing."
Stella paused.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ronald had been right when he told her not to underestimate Yvonne's chaotic methods.
Her seemingly reckless and random actions were actually carefully constructed traps.
At the time, Mona assumed Yvonne had uncovered her secret and was going to expose her directly.
Instead, Yvonne simply used Tristan's mounting suspicions to bleed Mona dry financially.
