Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 871

Gabriel and Nora’s hearts pounded in their chests.

Gabriel’s voice was sharp. “That’s enough, Anastasia! What other filth are you going to throw at her?!”

Nora put on a wounded expression. “Anastasia! We have always treated you with a clear conscience! Why must you target us like this? Is it just because we’re not your real mother and sister that you feel you have to destroy us?!”

“Back in Fairhaven, you went around telling everyone I tried to harm you, and I let it go. But now you’re even claiming Queena is an illegitimate child. What will it take for you to leave us alone?”

Anastasia countered, “Whether or not Queena is Gabriel’s illegitimate daughter, and whether or not you were the other woman, can’t be proven with a simple paternity test at the hospital?”

“Why don’t we go right now? We can see if I’m truly wronging you. We can see if you’re a devoted husband, or a scoundrel who was cheating with another woman before his wife was even gone!”

“We can see if you’re a grateful woman who married her best friend’s husband out of loyalty to care for her child, or an ungrateful snake who climbed into his bed while enjoying my mother’s support and generosity!”

“And you, Queena. You knew you were an illegitimate child, yet you still used my mother’s resources and belongings as if they were yours by right. Are you so innocent in all this?”

Gabriel and Nora fell silent. The shock and stiffness on their faces were impossible to miss.

How did Anastasia know? Wasn’t she supposed to have been kept in the dark?!

No one in the room was a fool. Seeing the Sterlings' reaction, they understood immediately. What Anastasia said was likely the truth.

“My God, Queena is an illegitimate child?”

“I’ve met her mother before. I had a good impression of her, but I never would have thought…”

Given Gideon’s standing in the medical community, that pronouncement was a death sentence for Queena’s career.

Her grip on the wheelchair’s armrests tightened so hard her knuckles turned white. A roar filled her head. It’s over!

But Anastasia was there to tell her it wasn’t over yet.

“As for Martha’s treatment all those years ago, I am certain the medicine I prescribed was correct. I’ve already had people look into it. Queena, if you did what I think you did, you can wait for your prison sentence!”

Queena snapped back to her senses. “So what if I’m an illegitimate child? Does that mean you can just shift your own crimes onto me?!”

“I believe in Queena!” Martha remained firmly by Queena’s side. She had been shocked to hear about Queena’s birth, but remembering that Queena had saved her life, she was determined to stand with her.
