Chapter 23

Author: Majestic Future
Stella picked up the call. Jennifer spoke first.

“You move fast, babe.”

Turns out, having someone backing you makes all the difference.

Back when Stella was alone, the Wright family treated her like something they could squeeze whenever they wanted. Summer stepped on her openly and secretly, whenever she felt like it.

Now Stella had grown thorns overnight, and every single one of them was aimed straight at the Wright family.

“You should see the news today,” Jennifer went on. “It’s everywher

    Could it be him?Had he sent someone to pick Stella up?Thinking back, Evan realized that over the past six months, nearly two-thirds of his time had been spent back at his mother’s place. If Stella and Frank had crossed paths during that time, it wasn’t impossible.Evan’s breathing grew increasingly unsteady.“Find out where that Eirden man took her,” he ordered. Then he paused, his expression turning ice-cold. “Actually, forget it. Just investigate first.”Patrick nodded. “Yes.”Patrick left.Once Evan was alone, he dialed Frank’s number.The call connected quickly.“What is it?” Frank’s low voice came through the line.Just three words. Cold. Distant.That tone alone made Evan’s temper flare.He used to think Frank was simply aloof by nature. Now, it sounded more like hostility. Toward him.“Are you at the office?” Evan said sharply. “I’m coming over.”“You have time to come looking for me now?” Frank replied.The sarcasm was unmistakable.Evan tightened his grip o

    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 Evan had previously had Patrick arrange for her. The account was under Evan’s name, but the registered phone number was hers.That card had been cancelled outright.Which meant the other two supplementary cards he had given her were probably frozen as well.A cold smile curved her lips.So this was his move.Did he really think the media outrage surrounding Summer was something she had bought with money?Fine.Then he could keep his eyes wide open and see for himself whether the storm would die down after cutting off her cards.Her phone buzzed again.This time, it was a text message.[Stella, you bitch. Are you trying to kill me?][What, you can’t hold onto Evan anymore, so you’r

    Just as Stella had anticipated, she was the only one who managed to sit down and enjoy a calm, uninterrupted meal.Over at the Wright household, however, everyone was teetering on the edge of losing control.Especially Evan.By late morning, Summer’s scandal had already exploded across the city.And that was when Patrick came in with bad news.“Sir,” he said carefully, “those reports… we can’t suppress them.”Evan’s expression darkened instantly.His sharp, hawk-like gaze snapped toward Patrick, pressure radiating off him in waves.“What did you just say?”His low voice carried unmistakable danger.Can’t suppress them?In Harbor City, was there really anything the Wright family couldn’t bury?Patrick understood exactly what Evan was thinking and explained quickly.“We’ve managed to control all domestic accounts. But the posts driving the traffic are coming from overseas. The IPs are all foreign.“And when we reached out,” he added grimly, “they didn’t even respond.”Not j

    Stella had indeed blocked everyone around Evan.Including Lucas.“What’s he going to flip over, anyway?” Stella said coolly. “At most, he’ll tear apart Azure Heights and Jennifer’s place.”“Exactly,” Lucas said. “And when he still couldn’t find you, that’s when he really lost it.”Stella frowned.“So he sent you to look for me?”“Pretty much,” Lucas replied easily. “But don’t worry. I’m not asking where you live.”Stella: “…”She glanced around the gallery instinctively.Before she could speak, Lucas added,“Relax. I never told him a word about your studios or galleries. Not a single detail.”Especially now, with everything blowing up and with Evan spending the last half year standing firmly on Summer’s side, Lucas had no intention of helping him clean up this mess.Stella let out a soft scoff.“You’re not afraid he’ll come after you for this?”After all, no one around Evan could get through to her right now.Lucas was the exception.“At this point?” Lucas shrugged. “He pis

    Evan Wright.Among the Wright family, Evan’s methods were even more ruthless than Steven’s. In Harbor City, that was exactly why people feared and respected him.Just listening to how others referred to the Wright brothers was enough to tell how powerful and domineering they were.But this time—Even Evan might not be able to control the outcome.“Has the traffic been successfully redirected?” Stella asked.“Yes,” Gary replied. “Most of the posts are now coming from overseas personal accounts. They can’t suppress it.”Stella nodded.“Good. Keep the momentum going for at least a week.”Right now, Summer was probably thinking that with the Wright family and her wealthy mother pulling strings, the backlash would die down quickly. That was why she wasn’t panicking yet.So this time, Stella intended to show her exactly what out of control looked like.She wanted Summer to see clearly that there were things even her powerful mother couldn’t fix. And she wanted Evan and Ruby to unde

    Public opinion and social media in Harbor City were spiraling out of control.Reporters swarmed the hospital where Summer was staying. Some openly questioned staff. Others lurked nearby, snapping photos in secret.Dora reacted quickly, stationing bodyguards outside the ward.Summer stared at the flood of insults online. The language was vicious, relentless. Six months ago, when Steven had died, the scene had looked much the same. Back then, though, the internet had been full of sympathy and comfort.Now, it was nothing but filth.Tears welled in Summer’s eyes.“Mom, I want to find Steven. I want to see him. He’ll protect me. He always protects me.”Dora’s head throbbed.Recognizing the familiar signs of another episode, panic set in. She was terrified Summer would spiral again and tear her stitches open. With no other choice, she called the doctor and had her sedated.Even after she calmed down, Summer kept murmuring the same name over and over.“Steven… Steven…”Each repetit
