With just a few words, the blame was pushed right back onto Stella.
And the moment her name came up, Dora’s expression darkened. “Evan’s wife? Our family doesn’t have a daughter-in-law like her.”
She bit out every word through clenched teeth
In her heart, she had never accepted Stella. Not once.
Just some nobody from an orphanage.
A girl who didn’t even know who her parents were-and yet she’d managed to turn the entire Wright family upside down.
Hearing that, both Mrs. Mendes and Summer felt a flicker of satisfaction.
Still, Mrs. Mendes added, “No matter what, we need to get her to return the child first.”
“That’s right.” Dora nodded.
Her dissatisfaction toward Stella had already reached its peak.
Causing trouble before was one thing. But now dragging a child into it?
Dora turned to comfort Summer. “Focus on your recovery. Leave the child to me.”
“Mom…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure your baby is brought back safe.”
She said it like a promise.
As far as she was concerned, Evan still hadn’t brought the child back. A grown man like him, and he couldn’t handle one woman?
It infuriated her.
After saying a few more comforting words, Dora left.
Once the room was quiet again, leaving only Summer and Mrs. Mendes, Mrs. Mendes asked, “Do you want some soup?”
Their expressions had already returned to normal.
Especially Summer.
Just moments ago, she had been heartbroken over the child. Now, she looked completely composed.
At the end of the day, someone who could use her own child as part of a scheme-how deep could her maternal love really be?
“Of course I do,” Summer said. “Why wouldn’t I?”
Whenever the Wright family wasn’t around, she made sure to eat properly.

This postpartum period had been chaotic, but she still cared about her body.
Except for the wound-itstill hurt from reopening the first time.
And that was all Stella’s fault.
If Stella had just agreed to divorce Evan quietly, she wouldn’t have had to go through all this.
Mrs. Mendes ladled her a bowl of soup.
Summer took a sip and sighed. “The Wright family really knows how to make soup.”
“Too bad that Stella doesn’t have the luck to enjoy it,” Mrs. Mendes replied smoothly.
During her time by Summer’s side, she had learned exactly what to say to please her.
And Summer had grown more and more fond of her because of it.
Summer let out a small, disdainful laugh. “Her? She thinks she deserves the same things as me?”
“Exactly. She didn’t even take care of herself properly after the miscarriage. That’s going to leave lasting damage.”
Summer’s eyes darkened slightly. “Good. Let it. If her body’s ruined, she won’t be able to have children anymore.”
That damn Stella.
Because of her, Summer couldn’t even go out now, couldn’t face her usual social circle.
She had been planning to show off after giving birth to twins.
But now her reputation had been dragged through the mud. She didn’t even dare show her face.
Then something crossed her mind.
She turned to Mrs. Mendes. “When the time’s right, pass the news along to her too-that the child’s dead.”
By her, she meant Dora, who had just left.
Dora and Stella had never gotten along.
Since she had been suffering lately, Stella should suffer too.
Mrs. Mendes nodded. “Don’t worry, Miss.”

Judging by Dora’s mood just now, she was probably already heading to Mount Lara to demand the child back from Stella.
Either way…
Next, either Evan would hear the news of the baby’s death first-
Or Dora would.
And whoever heard it first, it wouldn’t end well for Stella.
2/3
Because a missing child and a dead child were two completely different things.
No matter how much Evan had once favored her, with no backing behind her…
This time, Stella wouldn’t escape it.
She’d end up paying for it with the rest of her life.
