Chapter 343

She married into the Wright family, so she should follow the Wright family’s rules.

But what right did she have to throw those same rules back in her face now?

Dora’s vision went dark with rage.

Stella didn’t even blink.

“The Wright family rules don’t include humiliating people, do they?”

She leaned back slightly, her tone light but merciless.

“At your age, if you still don’t know how to control your words and behavior, then maybe you need a harsher lesson to help you remember.’

‘Learn your lesson.’

Those three words hit like a slap of their own.

Dora snapped, turning on Evan.

“You’re just going to stand there and watch her hit me?!”

That shameless woman…

She actually dared to slap her-right in front of him.

Was it because Felix was backing her?

Then fine. That only proved one thing-

They had to push harder on getting Fiona together with Felix.

As long as Stella lost that support, she wouldn’t dare act like this.

When Evan still didn’t respond, Dora’s voice rose even higher.

“Evan Wright!”

He finally spoke, his tone flat.

“Was it me who hit you?”

Dora froze.

Her eyes turned vicious as she glared at Stella, like she wanted to tear her apart.

Stella lifted a brow.

“I didn’t touch you.”

Dora: “…”

Fiona couldn’t hold back anymore.

“You didn’t hit her yourself, but your people did. How is that any different from you laying hands on your own mother-in-law?”

She was furious.

This woman insisted on calling herself part of the Wright family, forced her way back into the house-

yet showed zero respect to the elders.

So what exactly did she think she was in this family?

Stella didn’t even flinch.

“They were just following your mother’s rules.”

She smiled faintly.

“Nothing wrong with that, right?”

Fiona choked on her words. “You-”

Stella cut her off smoothly.

“Even the king is subject to the law. Or what? The rules you set only apply to others, not to yourselves?”

Her voice was soft.

But every word landed like a hammer.

“Then what kind of ‘rules’ does the Wright family actually have?”

Silence.

Heavy. Crushing.

Dora’s anger surged so hard she almost blacked out.

This woman-

Since when did she become this sharp-tongued?

It was impossible to win against her now.

Unable to argue back, Dora turned again to Evan.

“Evan!”

He took a slow drag of his cigarette, then looked at Stella.

“Go back to your room.”

“What did you just say?”

Dora stared at him in disbelief.

He was supposed to come back and throw Stella out-

2/2

Not protect her.

“There are still so many things to settle, and you’re telling her to go back to her room?”

“Go back to what room? She needs to get out of this house today!”

Evan’s expression didn’t change.

“It’s just a few burned villas. What’s the big deal?”

Dora. Fiona. Summer.

All three froze.

For a second, no one could believe what they had just heard.

Especially Dora.

Her voice trembled.

“What did you say? ‘What’s the big deal’?”

Evan flicked the ash from his cigarette.

“Weren’t those originally things I gave her?”

Silence.

That one sentence shut them up completely.

But the next second, Dora snapped back.

“Not all of them were from you!”

Evan didn’t even hesitate.

“Then calculate how much I owe you. I’ll pay you back.”

Dora: “…”
