Before this, Evan had always assumed Felix’s partnership with Hogarth Group was nothing more than a few
minor deals.
After all, Hogarth Group had always been rather closed off to outsiders.
Even if Felix had managed to secure a partnership with them, it couldn’t have been anything significant.
But now, Evan had changed his mind.
If Felix could sell Stella to Hogarth Group, then what wouldn’t he do for a deeper partnership with them?
Only a woman like Stella would trust Felix so unconditionally.
Hearing this, Patrick sighed. “But Miss Rowan…”
“Even if she didn’t have that kind of intention, what if Christian was the one who took a liking to her first?”
Patrick fell silent.
That was true.
What if Christian had been the one to take a liking to Stella first?
If that was the case, everything seemed to make sense.
The moment Evan opened his eyes, a cold glint flashed through them. “Tell me, what method did Felix use to convince her?”
“But maybe he didn’t need any method at all. She’s always been so naive.”
She had actually agreed to Felix’s arrangement and gotten involved with a married man.
At that moment, Evan couldn’t bear to think about what kind of woman he had loved all these years.
She had been right under his nose.
And in this moment, more than ever, Evan wanted to sever all ties with Stella.
Patrick still wanted to say something.
But seeing that Evan had already made up his mind, he couldn’t say anything more.
“Christian,” Evan said with a cold laugh.
His eyes were filled with a dangerous chill.
Dora called again.
On the phone, she cried and asked, “Has she agreed to send a car?”
Evan said nothing.
It was bad enough not to mention it.
The moment Dora brought it up, Evan’s head started pounding again.

Had Stella agreed?
If she had agreed, he wouldn’t be in this much pain.
That damned woman would never agree.
Now she agreed to nothing.
Evan asked, “Is it really that serious?”
Now, even he was asking this question.
It was just a fever. Did Fiona really have to go to the hospital?
The moment Dora heard him, she exploded. “What kind of thing is that to say? Are you really going to watch your own sister die?”
Dora was truly losing her mind.
Evan actually…
“She’s your real sister. How can you think the same way as Stella?”
Dora screamed hysterically over the phone.
Evan said, “Bring her out. I’ll pick you up at the intersection.”
“Bring her out by myself?”
The road was already far.
Now he wanted her to bring Fiona out alone, when Fiona was burning with fever and barely conscious?
And what about Dora herself?
These past two days, every trip in and out had depended on her own two legs. Her feet were covered in blisters now.
She could barely walk.
And he wanted her to take Fiona that far by herself?
Evan said, “Then what do you want me to do? Come back and go through all that again?”
That stretch of road was long.
From this alone, it was clear just how ruthless Stella was being to them.
Dora snapped, “Why are you yelling at me? If you’re so capable, kick that bitch Stella out!”
“This is all because of you, Evan Wright. Back then, I told you not to marry that woman, but you wouldn’t listen.”
“Now look what’s happened. She’s turned the entire Wright family into this, and you still can’t do anything about her. You’re the one who married her. Now that you can’t handle her, what right do you have to yell at me?”
Dora had completely lost control.
In the past, when she spoke to Evan, she would never have said anything that hurt her own son.
That showed just how furious she truly was this time.
Evan said nothing.
Listening to Dora’s resentful shouting over the phone, he suddenly had no words.
