Semua Bab Let’s Divorce. Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice.: Bab 301 - Bab 310

Patrick rushed up after getting Evan’s call.He found Evan leaning against the wall by the elevator, his face pale.Patrick froze for a second. “Sir? What happened to you?”Evan waved him off, clearly in pain. “Have someone keep an eye on the auction. Take me to the hospital first.”His head was spinning. He felt nauseous.That kick from Felix had definitely done some damage… Damn Stella.Just yesterday, she had spoken so gently on the phone, telling him she wouldn’t divorce him.And now, barely a night later, she was kicking him?Fine, she kicked him. But she had even teamed up with Felix to do it.When he tried to block the elevator doors earlier, everything had happened too fast to see clearly. But now that he thought about it, he was almost certain—They had kicked him at the same time.Patrick nodded quickly. “Got it. But what exactly—”He tried to ask what had happened, but Evan shot him a cold look.That single glance shut him up instantly.“I’ll take you to the ho

Back at the auction—Dora walked out looking absolutely drained, her face pale and tight. Fiona looked no better, like she had been chewing on grass for a month straight.Mrs. Quinn hurried after her. “Dora, you came today to buy something for Summer, didn’t you? What’s going on with your daughter-in-law? She’s been going against you the whole time!”Mrs. Quinn was usually the most openly competitive with Dora.Her husband was a real estate tycoon, and anytime Dora showed off a new piece of jewelry, she always tried to outshine her.So today, watching Stella stir up trouble? This was exactly the kind of drama she lived for.After Evan and Felix left, Mrs. Quinn had been one of the most aggressive bidders, going head-to-head with Dora on everything.Now she wasn’t even pretending to be polite anymore.Dora’s face was already dark. Hearing that, it turned even worse. She shot Mrs. Quinn a look but didn’t want to argue in front of so many people.She had come today to buy somethi

The moment Stella said that—Felix’s gaze darkened.Something flickered deep in his eyes, fast and unreadable.Just as she was about to step out of the car, he tightened his grip on her wrist.Stella paused. “...”“That wasn’t your fault,” he said quietly. “And don’t put yourself down like that.”She froze.When she turned to look at him, her eyes stung faintly.Not her fault?But all those years in the Wright family… every voice around her had said the same thing—That she was the one who was wrong.No matter what she did, it was wrong.And now he was telling her… it wasn’t?Felix glanced down at her wrist, noticing the redness from his grip. He paused, then gently loosened his hold and rubbed the spot.His voice softened even more.“A person’s life is long. You can’t keep punishing yourself forever for a bad choice you made at the start.”Stella’s throat tightened.Punishing herself…?“I’m not—”“Just thinking that way is already a kind of punishment,” Felix cut in

On the other end of the call, Evan was so furious it felt like his head might burst.This version of Stella was completely unfamiliar to him. She still sounded calm, even gentle—but there was something sharp underneath it now. Something ruthless.The words 'divorce' were right there, almost spilling out of his mouth.“You just admitted it. You were on a date with Felix!” he snapped through clenched teeth.His breathing had already gone uneven.“And what’s wrong with that?” Stella replied.“What’s wrong with that?” Evan almost laughed from anger. “Stella, you—”“I don’t see anything wrong with it.”Evan went silent.His head really did feel like it was about to explode.Nothing wrong?That was a huge problem.His voice came out strained. “Are you blind or just pretending to be? Can’t you see what Felix feels for you?”“You’ve been married before. The way he’s protecting you—don’t you think that’s a problem?”“If you won’t protect me,” Stella said calmly, “are you saying no

After leaving Mount Pansworth, Felix went to meet a client.By the time he returned to the office, the secretarial team had already reported to Jack that Evan had shown up.Jack’s expression darkened. “Why wasn’t this reported first? Who let him in?”With how things had escalated between Evan and Felix lately, whatever friendship they once had was long gone.Evan didn’t have the privilege of walking into Hernandez Corporation freely anymore.“He forced his way in,” someone explained. “We couldn’t stop him.”Jack’s brows knit tightly. “When did he arrive?”“About five minutes ago.”Jack fell silent.No wonder there had been no report. There hadn’t been time.Evan had stormed in too fast. The staff probably hadn’t even processed what was happening.Jack immediately quickened his pace to follow Felix.“He’s already in your office,” he added.Felix paused for half a second.The air around him turned noticeably colder.“Should you avoid him for now?” Jack suggested quickly. “
