Semua Bab Let’s Divorce. Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice.: Bab 1051 - Bab 1060

Amos could not sympathize with Evan’s supposed concern for Yara at all.After Amos left, Evan remained alone.He took a heavy drag from his cigarette, the gloom between his brows refusing to fade.…The moment Amos returned to the villa, Ivy cornered him.Seeing Ivy return alone, Amos asked, “How’s Stella?”“How do you think she is?” Ivy shot back. “After what Evan just decided, do you really think she’ll want anything to do with him?”Amos frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean? You sound like you’ve already written Evan off.”“He’s the one who’s about to lose her,” Ivy said. “After this, Stella won’t want anyone associating her with him.”Amos fell silent.Now he understood.Evan really had decided to exchange Stella for his sister.“He actually made that decision?” Ivy asked in disbelief.Stella had already told her as much.But even now, Ivy found it difficult to believe.She had seen how important Stella was to Evan.How could a man who had nearly given his life fo

In the end, Evan could not hold out any longer.He went to find Stella.She was on the phone when he entered.Whatever she heard made a cold smile appear on her lips.When she saw Evan, that smile deepened.His heart sank at the sight of it.“Understood,” Stella said into the phone.Then she ended the call.The moment their eyes met, the look in hers sent a chill through Evan.He sat down across from her.His lips moved as though he wanted to speak, but no words came out.Stella spoke first.“Well, this is interesting.”Evan’s unease deepened.Hearing the detached edge in her voice made his chest tighten.That phone call had almost certainly been about him or the Wright family.Before he could ask, Stella continued.“Fiona was released from prison.”“She was convicted of murder. The evidence against her was undeniable. And now she’s suddenly free. Isn’t that funny?”Stella looked at Evan with a cold smile.His heart dropped.The moment she mentioned Fiona’s release

She was mocking the days when Evan had desperately tried to keep her by his side.Back then, he had truly wanted her with everything he had.But what did any of that mean now?Nothing.Stella had never wanted his devotion. She had tried to escape from him again and again.Yet after what Evan was doing now, even the man he had once been seemed like a complete joke.And her words forced Evan to see just how ridiculous he had become.He looked at her, barely able to breathe.“Why do you have to say that?”Every word felt like a knife driven straight into his chest.“Fiona was released from prison. Now you want to trade me for Yara. Evan, have you ever respected me at all?”None of that was even the point.Stella was saying it now because she wanted him to take a good look at himself and see just how shameless he was being.Evan’s face turned pale.“I’m sorry.”The apology came with great difficulty.Then he added, “But just this once…”No matter what, this would be the la

Ivy had suggested that Amos agree to take Stella to Eirden, then let her escape along the way.He had refused without hesitation because he had never intended to turn against Evan completely.But Evan had gone too far.He had threatened the one person Amos would never allow anyone to touch.The tension between them became explosive.Evan’s breathing turned cold and heavy.“I may not be as powerful as you,” Amos said, “but I’m far more willing to risk my life.”After what happened with General Litt, Amos had once believed that he and Evan were the same kind of man.Both of them had been willing to risk everything for the women they loved.Now Amos realized he had been wrong.The moment Evan was forced to choose, the woman he claimed to love no longer mattered.Amos was different.He had severed ties with his entire family for Ivy.His voice turned dangerous.“Don’t force me to drive you out of Seaborne.”Evan had his own influence here.But he had spent most of his earli

Ivy froze when she heard Stella say she was used to it.Then her heart ached for her even more.Used to it.What did it take for someone to become used to being treated this way?Ivy drew a deep breath.“You deserved so much better.”“I did,” Stella agreed.Every time she had allowed herself to fall for someone had been a mistake.Falling for Evan had not been worth it.Neither had falling for Felix.“That’s why I don’t let myself fall for anyone anymore.”It did not matter what a man did to win her over.Stella only needed to remember one thing.Men could not be trusted.At this point, Evan and Felix felt exactly the same to her.“Let me help you escape,” Ivy said.Amos had warned her that doing so would mean openly turning against Evan.But Ivy could no longer stand by and watch.So what if they became enemies?Amos might appear straightforward at times, as though he could never outmaneuver Evan.But if the two men truly went to war, Ivy was not convinced Amos wou
