LOGINThe Wright family estate had become completely unlivable.In just one day, nearly all the Wright family’s properties had been destroyed.Dora had called the police.But what did that change?Nothing.There was no evidence.Just like the child’s case.Without proof tying it to Stella, they couldn’t do a thing to her.---There was only one immediate problem—Summer could not continue her postpartum recovery here.Not like this.Not in that house.After thinking it over, Dora suddenly said,“Let’s move her to Mount Lara.”The moment she said it—both Fiona and Summer looked at her.Dora frowned. “Why are you both staring at me like that?”Fiona hesitated. “If we do that… won’t she make an even bigger scene?”Summer quickly added, “Yeah, Mom… that might not be a good idea.”But beneath her hesitation—her heart had already leapt with excitement.She couldn’t stand staying in this estate anymore.Not one more day.Not even one more minute.And Mount Lara…That pla
At the beginning, they had refused her demand.They wouldn’t give her the money.And now?After she had burned through so many of the Wright family’s properties in a single day—Evan was the one offering fifty billion.That alone said everything.He wanted her gone.Immediately.Completely.These past days, he believed he had done enough.Given enough.Compromised enough.But she never turned back.She kept pushing.Kept tearing everything apart.And now—he had nothing left to give.---Stella let out a soft laugh.“Fifty billion, huh?”The number rolled off her tongue lightly.Almost amused.She had already seen the reports coming in from Aaron.She knew exactly how much pressure he was under right now.There was no way—no way—he could pull together fifty billion in cash without bleeding elsewhere.And yet, here he was.Offering it.Just to end this.Just to get rid of her.Evan’s voice turned colder.“Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”“Take th
A servant rushed in, sent by Dora to say that Summer wasn’t feeling well again.But the moment the servant saw Evan—blood soaking through his shirt—they panicked and ran back to report it.Dora came running.Fiona followed right behind her.The second Dora saw the blood on her son’s abdomen, her vision went dark with rage.“Stella, you vicious woman! What did you do now?!”She rushed forward to check his wound.Stella didn’t even move.“Get out of my room. All of you.”Cold.Flat.Like they were nothing.Dora froze for half a second—then completely lost control.“You shameless bitch! How could you do this to him? He’s been protecting you this whole time! How can you treat a man who’s stood by you like this?!”Her heart twisted seeing her son injured.She lunged forward, ready to fight.She had endured enough today.She wanted to tear Stella apart.But—she had forgotten.Stella had come prepared.The moment Dora moved, the guards outside rushed in and pinned he
She wanted them all to pay.Every last one of them.---Evan forced his voice steady.“If you’re done venting, come back to Mount Lara with me.”Stella tilted her head slightly.“Mount Lara?” she asked lightly. “Is it still there?”His heart skipped.“What do you mean?”Before he could press further—His phone started vibrating violently in his hand.He answered.The words on the other end hit like a hammer.Mount Lara…was on fire.Gone.His jaw clenched instantly.“Half an hour ago? Why am I only hearing about this now?!”He didn’t wait for an answer.“Got it.”He hung up.Then looked at Stella.Rage.Barely contained.But Stella?She looked completely calm.Too calm.And that calmness—was what made everything worse.Because the calmer she looked—the more everything around her burned.“You’ve lost your mind,” he said through gritted teeth.Mount Lara…That place had held everything he built for her.Every tree. Every detail.Now it was ash.“What
At this point, both Dora and Summer had reached the same conclusion.If they wanted to completely get rid of Stella and stop her from tearing the family apart—They had to cut her off from Felix.And that responsibility?They placed it squarely on Fiona.---Upstairs.When Evan walked in, he stopped short.The room had been completely redone.Not a single trace of Fiona’s presence remained.Stella sat on a chaise lounge, phone to her ear.“Mm. Let’s have dinner tomorrow. I’ll hang up now.”She ended the call.That single sentence—*Dinner tomorrow*—was enough to make the tension in Evan’s body snap.“Was that Felix?”His voice was cold.Stella set her phone aside and looked at him.Didn’t answer.But her eyes said it clearly—None of your business.That look alone was enough to make his head throb.He strode forward and yanked her up from the sofa.“You agreed not to divorce, and you’re still involved with him? What do you take me for?”Every word came out thr
These past few days, Fiona hadn’t even dared to meet her usual circle.It was too humiliating.The man she was supposed to marry… was now entangled with her own sister-in-law.What kind of joke was that?Summer stepped forward. “Let’s go to my room first.”The house was full of Stella’s people now. If they spoke too openly here, word would definitely get back to her.Dora was still seething.They hadn’t solved a single problem yet, and Evan was still protecting that woman.The moment they entered Summer’s room, Dora snapped,“And those police… what are they even doing? Why haven’t they arrested her yet?”If that woman were locked up, everything would finally go back to normal.At the mention of the police, Summer lowered her gaze. A flicker of something unreadable passed through her eyes.Then she said calmly, “Mom, I want Mrs. Mendes to come take care of me.”Mrs. Mendes was one of Ruby’s people.When Summer was discharged, she hadn’t brought her over. She had been worri
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
Stella drifted in and out of sleep when her phone rang.Seeing Lucas’s name on the screen, she answered groggily.“It’s the middle of the night. What do you want?”“Evan’s with us,” Lucas said.Stella paused. Her grip on the phone tightened, her voice cooling instantly.“So?”“He’s had a lot to
In everyone’s eyes, she was picking a fight she had no chance of winning.Stella thought for a moment, then said calmly, “Tomorrow, my marriage certificate with Evan and the divorce agreement will be all over Harbor City.”Jennifer froze.“…What?”“Wait,” she said, staring at her. “You’re saying
