Semua Bab Let’s Divorce. Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice.: Bab 991 - Bab 1000

Stella knew exactly what Felix thought of her.He only respected the ruthlessness she had shown when taking down the Wright family.But that kind of ruthlessness meant nothing in Eirden or Seaborne.Here, almost anyone could crush her without effort.Anyone could take her life.“Stop acting recklessly,” Felix warned.“You seem to have forgotten something,” Stella said. “I have money.”Felix went silent.“What can’t money buy in this world? There must be plenty of people who want Litt dead.”“What are you saying?”“There are countless organizations willing to work for the right price. Hiring a few of them was more than enough to make tonight interesting.”Felix’s heart leaped into his throat.“You hired those people? Stella, you…”He could not even find the words to describe her anymore.He had never imagined she would dare go this far.After coming to Seaborne, she had truly started thinking like everyone else trapped in this brutal world.She never would have considere

It had become an impossible choice.Should they protect Stella from danger, or find a way to keep Litt alive?In the end, Felix called Aaron.Aaron was already inside Litt’s study, but he had not found the old book Stella mentioned.When Felix called, Aaron was breathing heavily with frustration.“Litt cannot die tonight.”If Aaron had found the book and secured the map, he would not have cared whether Litt lived or died.But the book was still missing.“If we keep him alive, Stella will be in danger,” Felix said. “You know what that old man is like…”He did not finish.Even now, they still had no idea why Litt had protected Summer so fiercely.Summer was dead, and Litt had turned all that hostility toward Stella.Yet they knew nothing about the reason behind it.Aaron fell silent.Keeping Litt alive would put Stella at risk.“This really is an impossible choice.”“Why don’t we stay out of it?” Felix said. “Let Amos kill the old man.”“No.”Aaron rejected the suggesti

Who would have imagined that the person threatening Stella’s life lately would be her own brother?Aaron had repeatedly insisted he would never hand her over to Litt.But the moment Remi said Aaron’s men had tried to capture her, Stella knew exactly what he intended to do.He wanted to use his own sister to force Amos to back down.All to protect Litt, the man who wanted her dead.“Aaron, I’ve suddenly realized how pathetic you are.”Aaron fell silent.“You call Amos useless, yet the woman you loved chose him over you. I suppose that makes you even worse than the man you look down on.”“Shut up!”Aaron’s breathing grew heavy at the mention of that woman.“You really are worse than him,” Stella continued. “At least Amos protects the people he cares about. You’re willing to trade your own sister for whatever benefits you.”What else could she call a man who could not even protect his own family?“Are you finished?”“I must have been blind to think you and Felix were better m

Right now, Aaron wanted nothing more than to punish her like a disobedient child.But when he thought about how badly their relationship had deteriorated, his anger only intensified.At this point, punishing her was no longer the real issue.The question was how to get her back.Gray hesitated.“We have no idea where Miss Rowan is. She isn’t in Seaborne.”Aaron fell silent.The fact that they still could not find her made him even more furious.In all his years, his people had never struggled this much with an assignment.Whenever he wanted information or someone brought before him, he usually got results immediately.Yet when it came to his own sister, they were completely helpless.Was she really that clever, or was there something else going on?Aaron closed his eyes in frustration.“Evan must have arranged everything for her before he died,” Gray said.Gray knew Stella was intelligent.But Evan’s actions were much harder to understand.It did seem as though he had a

Stella had paid far too high a price over the years.And almost every painful lesson had come from trusting someone too much.How could she possibly place that kind of faith in anyone now?She had trusted Evan.Because of Summer, he had dragged her into hell.She had trusted Felix, and what happened afterward hardly needed explaining.None of them deserved her trust.That made Amos even less trustworthy in her eyes.Remi understood that everything Stella had gone through had left her deeply guarded.“Then where do you want to go?”“Where I go has nothing to do with any of you anymore,” Stella said, turning to her.Remi blinked.“What?”“This is where we part ways.”Remi and Seymour both froze.“Thank you for everything you’ve done for me lately,” Stella continued.“Where are you going? I can come with you,” Remi said instinctively.Seymour would probably return to Seaborne.But Remi’s orders had been to remain by Stella’s side and protect her.When asked where she pl
