Now Devyn’s heart raced. “What’s that?”
Casually, Elizabeth laid it out. “Remember those files you copied from Stella? Make them real and sell them at your online shop. 0h, and keep pinching Stella’s ideas.”
Devyn was floored, her eyes widening in disbelief. “Seriously? That’s messed up!”
Quaking, Devyn protested, “Why should I? You never said…”
But Elizabeth cut her off with a sinister smile. “I didn’t say it before. But do you think finishing one task is enough for me to let your two brothers off the hook?”

Devyn shuddered at Elizabeth’s callous laughter.
Elizabeth picked up on Devyn’s heavy breathing, but she wasn’t ready to back down on dealing with Stella. “You have to stick with me.
We’re going to make Stella look like the ultimate copycat.”
“Nope!” Devyn shot back, firm. “I can’t do it! Besides, Stella isn’t dumb. Do you think it’s easy swiping stuff from her? Plus, she’s a follower of my online store. How’s she going to trust me after seeing her own designs there?”
With a sly grin, Elizabeth countered, “That’s your problem. You have to weigh your options. Pull this off, and not only will I let your brothers off the hook, but I’ll sort out that kidney thing you’re desperate for.”
Devyn felt Like her world was spinning at the mention of the kidney donation.
“Don’t you wish to save your mom? Your family’s counting on you. Are you still going to say no?” Elizabeth’s tone was heavy with pressure.
Grimacing, Devyn shut her eyes tight. It was a choice between morals and her mom, and she chose her mom.
“Fine, I’ll do it,” Devyn muttered, voice strained but resolute.
Elizabeth wasn’t surprised by Devyn’s decision. “Smart move. Trust me, I’ll make it worth your while once it’s done.
After ending the call, Devyn slumped in the chair, lost in a daze.
Her hands shook and her fingers froze.
Without much thought, she sent Bella the signed sketch. Before she knew it, her phone buzzed again.
It was a text. Elizabeth had transferred her two million.
Checking her balance, Devyn felt a wave of relief.

She flopped onto the bed, covering her eyes, whispering, “Stella, don’t blame me. I had no choice.”
Stella finished her design, leaving a note for Bella, explaining Matthew’s help due to her injured hand.
With the email sent, Stella breathed out.
Now she could focus on her wedding prep.
She thought for a moment and called Miley. “Hey Miley, do you want to hit the shops today? Let’s go shopping.”
“Sorry, Stella. Neville’s grandma’s still critical. I have to be at the hospital with him.”
“No worries. Take care.”
Stella ended the call.
She considered calling Devyn but was interrupted by Juliette’s phone call.
