Chapter 61

Evan irritably grabbed the bottle again and poured himself another drink.Stella’s voice was steady.“Two years ago… Whether she meant to or not, I lost my child because of her.”“And at your parents’ estate, she pushed me. Evan, one thing after another—”“You’re saying she pushed you and caused the miscarriage?” he cut in.There was mockery in his tone.Stella had been about to ask whether Summer had drawn that design herself, stroke by stroke as if she wouldn’t know.But hearing the disbelief in his voice, she suddenly felt there was nothing left to say.Evan continued, “The design situation wasn’t her fault.”Stella looked at him.“It wasn’t?”“She had a project submission at the time,” he said. “It required something that tied into your design. I told her to use it.”“You told her to use it?” Stella’s anger flared again. “On what authority? Was it your design?”“It was just a design,” he said dismissively. “Was it that important to you?”“And you didn’t even care at t

At the hospital.Ruby Bailey had arrived and from the moment she stepped in, she made her displeasure toward Dora obvious.Every word carried an edge.Implying Dora had failed to take care of Summer.Failed to rein Stella in.Dora swallowed her frustration.As soon as Ruby entered Summer’s room, Dora quickly found an excuse and left with Fiona to check on the babies.Inside the elevator, Fiona bristled.“What does Mrs. Bailey mean by that? After everything blew up, you’ve been protecting Summer nonstop. How can she blame you?”“Enough,” Dora said stiffly. “She’s not wrong. That Stella was never properly handled.”A woman had just given birth. That was the most vulnerable time of her life.And Stella kept escalating things.Now Summer, Ruby even the entire Wright family were suffering reputational damage.“That’s Stella’s fault,” Fiona muttered. “Not yours.”Dora was furious too.But she didn’t dare argue with Ruby.And truthfully, she did feel sorry for Summer.---In

Especially now.By this point, Stella had likely received the news about Azure Heights being vandalized.The condo she had prepared as her escape route for divorce was destroyed.She was probably standing in the middle of the wreckage, crying.The thought finally gave Summer a flicker of satisfaction.For the first time in days, she felt like she’d struck back.“And Evan… Mom, I…”The relief vanished as quickly as it had come.For the past six months, Evan had been by her side constantly.She had convinced herself he felt something for her.But these past few days — the way he reacted to Stella — had planted a sense of unease she couldn’t shake.Ruby’s gaze sharpened.“Don’t rush things with Evan. Stella comes first.”Summer nodded.“You’re right. We deal with Stella first.”With her mother here, she finally felt grounded again.Like she had her backbone back.She was about to continue when Ruby’s phone rang inside her handbag.She pulled it out and glanced at the scr

That night.Marianne made Stella a light late-night meal. Stella ate a few bites, then went straight to the guest room to sleep.Evan hadn’t returned yet. She didn’t ask where he’d gone.She had just lain down when Gray called.“Miss. It’s done.”“And the estate?” Stella asked.She didn’t care about the two smaller villas. Those were incidental.What truly mattered was Bay International.Ruby lived there whenever she was in Harbor City.Important documents. Jewelry. Irreplaceable assets.Ruby had smashed Azure Heights to send a warning.This was Stella’s reply.Gray’s voice was steady. “The entire estate was engulfed. Even after the fire crews put it out, there’ll be nothing left but the structural frame.”“Good. No loose ends.”Meaning nothing traceable.“Of course.”Gray had spent years cleaning up situations far worse than this. It was what he did best.Sometimes he saw the same ruthless edge in Stella that he saw in her brother.The call ended.Not long after, Ev

Chapter 65

At the hospital.When Ruby learned the full truth, she nearly lost control.Especially after Alex called to confirm that Bay International had been reduced to nothing but a skeletal frame.Everything inside was gone.Her jewelry. Her collections. Large amounts of cash.All burned.Her entire body trembled with rage.She turned slowly toward Dora, her eyes cold enough to cut.“Mrs. Wright,” she said icily, “your family owes me an explanation.“My daughter just gave birth to twins for your family. And this is how you let your second daughter-in-law behave?“She not only stirred up public chaos, now she’s burned down my estate at Bay International and trashed two villas. Are you planning to compensate me for those losses?”Dora’s temples throbbed.Stella had gone too far.How dare she?Dora forced herself to inhale slowly.“Please rest assured,” she said stiffly. “The Wright family will give you an answer.”Ruby let out a cold laugh.“I must have been blind to marry my da

Ruby knew Dora’s temperament well.Proud. Couldn’t stand being disrespected.After being humiliated like that, Dora would absolutely turn around and take it out on Stella.Good.That was exactly what Ruby wanted.She didn’t just want Stella punished.She wanted her restless. Cornered. Miserable.And it wouldn’t just be Dora.Ruby wouldn’t let this go either.That little bitch had burned Bay International.Burned it.She would make her pay for that.Summer, sensing her mother still had something up her sleeve, asked carefully,“What about Felix Henderson? Why did he assign someone to stay with Stella?”They had already confirmed that a man from Eirden had been stationed at Stella’s side recently.And Stella had been seen frequently with Felix.It wasn’t hard to assume the foreigner worked for him.Felix was not someone they could afford to offend.Summer worried her mother, in her rage, might overstep.Ruby let out a cold laugh.“Whatever his reason, it’s certainly n

Chapter 67

There was a knock at the door.Marianne’s voice came from outside.“Sir, Mrs. Wright and Miss Fiona are here.”Stella stopped struggling.In the dim room, the air around her turned noticeably colder.A slow, mocking laugh slipped from her lips.“Looks like they’re here to settle the score. Let go.”She moved to get up.In that moment, she looked like a warrior stepping onto a battlefield.She wasn’t avoiding this.After everything that had happened, there was nothing left to preserve.Evan felt a headache forming.He grabbed her wrist.“Lie down.”He reached over, turned on the bedside lamp, and pushed her back under the covers.“Stay here. I’ll handle it.”He had no intention of letting her go downstairs.If she did, there was no telling how ugly it would get.After the past few days, he understood one thing clearly.Stella had completely burned her bridges with the Wrights.Once, she had respected her mother-in-law. Been polite to Summer. Devoted to the grandmothe

“Haven’t I told you already?” Evan said coolly. “If you don’t like her, then stop meeting her alone. Just act like she’s not your daughter-in-law.”And if that still wasn’t enough?You can pretend you don’t have me as a son either.At this point, he honestly didn’t care.Dora’s vision darkened with rage.“I don’t want to pretend. I want her out. I want to not have that woman as my daughter-in-law at all.”“Do you even know what she’s done now?” she demanded. “She burned down Ruby’s mansion at Bay International. And she had people smash up the two villas in the East District.“Tell me, what is she trying to do? How did the Wright family end up with someone like her?“The Wrights and the Baileys have had a good relationship for years. What now? You marry someone like that and expect her not to drag the whole family down with her?”She’d been stewing the entire drive over.Now that she saw Evan, the fury poured out unchecked.Evan took a slow drag from his cigarette.“The Wrig

Chapter 69

There was something wet on Fiona’s face.She slowly pulled her hand away.When she saw her palm covered in blood, her pupils shrank.“Ah—!”Dora, who had been about to leap forward and scream at Stella again, was startled by Fiona’s piercing shriek.Then she saw it.A deep gash had split open across Fiona’s cheek. Blood was pouring down.For a moment, Dora couldn’t breathe.“Blood— Mom, my face—my face…”Fiona touched it again instinctively.The second her fingers brushed the wound, pain exploded through her.Blood streamed down her jaw and along her neck, warm and metallic in scent.Dora looked from Stella upstairs to Evan standing rigid nearby—then her eyes fell on the bloodied ashtray on the floor.Her voice shook.“Evan, you—you…”Evan’s lips pressed into a thin line. He calmly picked up his phone and dialed 911 for an ambulance.Dora felt faint with fury.“That’s your sister!” she screamed. “How could you hit her like that over an outsider?”Her voice trembled wi

Chapter 70

Evan set a bowl of soup in front of her.When she said she was going out, his expression darkened slightly.He placed the bowl down.His tone was even.“For the next few days, you’re staying here. You’re not going anywhere.”Stella looked up.“You’re putting me under house arrest?”“What house arrest?” His voice sharpened. “Don’t make it sound dramatic. You know exactly what you’ve done.”He’d gotten the update last night.Ruby’s mansion at Bay International had burned down to nothing but a frame. The losses were massive.Right now, Ruby probably wanted Stella’s blood.Stella met his gaze calmly.“I caused trouble all by myself?”Evan went quiet.No.Ruby had struck first.A warning.That’s what she’d called it.Ruby had meant to teach Stella a lesson for going after Summer. She just hadn’t expected Stella to strike back with something sharper.One warning from Ruby—And Stella answered with a cactus.Now Ruby’s hands were full of thorns, and she had nowhere to ven
