Chapter 82

• Stella's POV
• I continued to fake my tears, saying I missed my foster mother, Dylan saw an opportunity to clear her name. "Stella," he said, "we need to file an appeal to prove your innocence. We can't let them get away with this injustice."
• I was shocked by Dylan's words, unsure why he cared so much about this matter. But deep down, I knew that I needed to do something to clear my name. The thought of being forever linked to the murderer's foster child haunted me, and I knew that my biological mother would never approve of such a tarnished reputation.
