Chapter 569

Sure enough, the moment Summer heard Stella say that, her heart sank.

Stella said, “Think it over carefully. After all, the sooner we confirm the child is Steven’s, the better it will be for the child too.” Whether it would benefit Summer was another matter.

But Stella would do what she said.

For the sake of how Steven had repeatedly spoken up for her when he was alive and had told Dora off so many times, if this child really was the son Steven had left behind in this world, she would save him.

If not, then it truly had nothing to do with her.

Hearing the firm certainty in Stella’s voice, Summer clenched her fists. Her whole body shook with anger.

Cruel

She was truly cruel.

Summer had never imagined that Stella could be this hard-hearted toward a child.

Unable to do anything to Stella, Summer turned to Evan.

Evan narrowed his eyes and looked at Stella. “Does it have to be this way?”

Stella gave a soft laugh when she heard him question her. She set down the teacup in her hand.

“It’s not that it has to be this way. I just want to confirm whether the child is Steven’s.”

“If even that can’t be confirmed, then I won’t ask Dr. Gass to come.”

She spoke each word with absolute firmness.

Summer sniffled pitifully. “Evan.”

Her tears fell at once.

Evan narrowed his eyes and glanced at her. His gaze was deep and sharp.

It was not the kind of look he had given her when he still trusted her.

Back when Evan had trusted her completely, he had never looked at her like this.

But now, everything was different.

Evan said, “Go out first.”

Summer said, “The child can’t have a stain on his name. He still has such a long lite ahead of him. If he has to live under suspicion and ridicule in the future, that would be too cruel to him.”

“Get out.”

Evan spat out the two words coldly.

Summer had wanted to say more, but seeing Evan’s attitude now, she swallowed everything back down.

In the end, she nodded and lett.

When she passed Evan, she gave him a deep look.

That look was full of grief, helplessness, and pain

The loneliness and suffering of a woman who had lost her husband were written all over her face.

Summer lett.

Evan remained standing at the study door.

It was called a study now, but it had once been Qld Mrs. Wright’s room. Stella’s people had moved fast.

Such a large room had now been turned into a study.

Looking at it, Evan could not quite describe what he felt.

“What? Feeling emotional now that the room has been changed like this?”

Evan had not come to this room at all during this time.

Now that he was seeing it, of course he felt uneasy.

Evan said, “After everything you’ve done lately, don’t you feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable?”

“You’re uncomfortable? I’m not.”

Evan fell silent.

She actually said she was not.

She had done something like this to an old woman, yet she said she did not feel even the slightest discomfort.

Stella said, “Oh, right. When you married me, didn’t you say I was the lady of the Wright family, and that I could do whatever I wanted in the Wright family?

“Was all of that fake? When it comes to the Wrights, when it comes to your precious sister-in-law, I’m no longer the lady of the house?”

All the promises Evan had made back then had been empty words.

Fine.

Now she had taken those things for herself.

Being the lady of the house did feel rather nice.

Unfortunately, she did not care for it.

After this period was over, she would have nothing to do with the Wright family anymore.

Seeing that Evan did not speak, Stella said, “What? Everyone can’t hold out anymore? Are you here to sign?”

Those words cut straight to the heart.

Because just as she said, everyone was reaching their limit now.
