LOGINFelix’s expression darkened instantly.Jack froze for a split second at the scene, then his face hardened just like Felix’s.No one had ever caused a scene like this at Hernandez Group.“And you’re just a receptionist. What gives you the right to stop me?” Fiona snapped, her voice sharp with anger. “What, working in a fancy office building made you forget your place?”She didn’t hold back at all.The receptionist had already seen Felix walk in. One hand pressed to her cheek, she stayed silent and looked at Fiona.“Tell Felix this. I’ve never brought food to anyone in my life. He’d better not be ungrateful.”Felix’s voice cut in coldly. “You don’t need her to tell me. I heard everything.”Fiona froze.Her face stiffened as she turned around, only to meet Felix’s cold, intimidating gaze.She had seen that kind of look before, in her brother Evan’s eyes.But standing in front of Felix now, it still made her scalp prickle.“F-Felix…”Her voice came out instinctively, and sudde
Fiona snapped, “Then call him and ask when he’s coming back!”She was furious, but she still had to force her temper down.The only thing on her mind was that Felix had gotten far too close to Stella, and Stella only dared act this way because Felix was backing her.So no matter what, Fiona had to win Felix over.The receptionist might not have liked her attitude, but she also didn’t want to risk offending someone who might actually be Felix’s fiancée.Even though no one at the company had ever heard that Mr. Hernandez had a fiancée, she decided she still had to check.“May I have your name, please?”“Fiona Wright.” She gave her name directly.This stupid receptionist.What kind of look was that?Once she married Felix, the first thing she would do would be to fire her.Unbelievable.The receptionist called Felix’s assistant, Jack.He picked up quickly. “Hello.”“Mr. Leedon, there’s a woman here claiming to be Mr. Hernandez’s fiancée. She wants to go up to his office.”J
Dora had the kitchen prepare home cooked meals for Felix. She even asked around about his favorite dishes and packed everything up for Fiona to deliver to Hernandez Group.As Fiona was about to leave, Dora reminded her again and again, “Remember what Summer said. Men like women who are gentle and demure. Got it?”Fiona actually agreed with Summer on that.She nodded. “I know.”Honestly, if her temper was bad, it was Stella’s fault.Ever since that woman married into the Wright family, Fiona had been on edge all the time.If not for Stella constantly provoking her, would she be this irritable?Once she finished delivering the food to Felix, she would deal with that woman properly.Fiona got into the car and left.The housekeeper stood behind Dora and said quietly, “I just hope Miss Fiona can keep her temper in check. I’ve heard the eldest son of the Hernandez family isn’t easy to deal with.”Felix had only been back in Harbor City for a few months.But even in that short time
“Evan wants her to suffer for this too,” Fiona added. “So there’s no way she’s getting out anytime soon.”That made Dora feel even better.“Your brother too. If he’d made her suffer a little sooner, none of this would’ve happened.”Just thinking about how both the Wright family and the Baileys had had their reputations dragged through the mud these past few days made Dora furious all over again.She had wanted to deal with Stella a long time ago.It was Evan who kept protecting her.Then, thinking of the Summers, Dora frowned. “I just wonder whether Ruby’s going to make it through this mess.”From what she had heard, things in Eirden were serious.Hopefully Ruby could handle it. If she really ended up facing sky-high penalties, there was no way the Wright family would help her cover them.Fiona said, “Don’t worry about that. We should trust her. She’s seen everything by now. She’ll definitely find a way through it.”Dora did not respond, but she did not disagree either.In h
Thinking about how stubborn Evan had been about refusing to divorce Stella, Jack said, “Mr. Wright still has no idea who Miss Rowan really is. If Mr. Hogarth makes a move and Miss Rowan keeps pressing the issue, this marriage might actually fall apart.”The entire Wright family had always looked down on Stella.No one would have guessed she was the daughter of the Hogarths, the most powerful financial family in Eirden.A family that practically held the country’s economic lifeline in its hands.And her father, Michael Hogarth, also held an extremely high title within Eirden’s royal circles.With a background like that, if the Wright family ever found out, there was no telling how much they would regret it.“She’s smart,” Felix said. “For all we know, she and her brother may have already figured out how to hit Evan from both sides.”Jack: “…”Now that would be something worth watching.Evan had never truly believed Stella would leave him.He was too confident.Too full of him
There was something quietly commanding about him.Not just the pressure he gave off, but a strange sense of security too.Like no matter what it was, if he stepped in, it would be handled.Stella felt her scalp tighten under that look. In the end, she nodded. “Then… thank you.”Felix peeled a few more shrimp for her.Stella quickly waved him off. “No, no. I’m full.”After lunch, when Felix was about to leave, he looked at her and said, “Summer doesn’t have depression.”Stella: “…”So she really was faking it.Honestly, Stella had suspected that all along.A woman with that many schemes in her head would absolutely fake being sick if it helped her.Felix left.Jack was waiting outside.The moment Felix got into the car, Jack said, “Mr. Wright has been trying to find out where our car went.”At that moment, Felix’s mind was still on Stella’s clumsy attempt at apologizing.Hearing that Evan was tracking his movements, Felix smiled faintly. “Ignore him.”“Mr. Wright’s side
Evan scanned the area.His eyes narrowed.“Why would she be here?”This wasn’t some luxury shopping plaza or fashion district. What was she doing in a biotech park?Patrick replied carefully, “Every building here houses biotech research companies.”“Doing what exactly?”“Two of them specialize
After lunch, Stella started to feel drowsy.She had just lain down when her phone buzzed with a notification.Still half-asleep, she opened it.It was a message from the bank.Card deactivation successful.Stella paused.Card… deactivated?She checked the card number carefully. It was the one
The voice in Dora’s head, the one that wanted to deal with Stella once and for all, grew louder by the second.“I told you back then that you shouldn’t marry her,” she snapped. “She grew up in an orphanage, no mother to teach her anything. What kind of upbringing could she possibly have? I never sh
Evan had originally planned to go see Stella that night.But Summer’s condition kept fluctuating, and he ended up staying by her side again and again. It was not until two in the morning that her state finally stabilized.Summer looked at Evan with guilt in her eyes.“Evan, I’m sorry. I keep putti
