Chapter 681
“When she was with me, she was the respected Mrs. Wright…”
“Respected?”
Before Evan could finish, Felix suddenly cut him off.
Their eyes met in the air, and a trace of mockery curved Felix’s lips.
“When she was with you, she was never some respected Mrs. Wright. Her life in the Wright family was never respected.”
Evan said nothing.
“Did anyone in the Wright family respect her? Did outsiders respect her because she was your wife?
“Do you really not know what people said about her when she was with you?”
Evan said nothing.
All at once, the words he had not yet said lodged in his throat.
Meeting Felix’s gaze, he only felt a suffocating tightness in his chest.
Felix’s voice was light.
Yet every word felt like an interrogation of his soul.
Yes.
He knew.
‘Anyone who disrespected her was punished severely. Don’t you know that?”
“Yes, they all ended badly. But what about what she went through at the time? Who knows how deeply those things hurt her? And all of that happened because of you, Evan.”
Evan said nothing.
It was because of him.
In the beginning, those people had always mocked Stella behind his back because of her background.
After he found out, he had made them pay.
He had not allowed anyone to hurt her.
“Maybe you made outsiders pay the price, but what about the Wright family?”
Felix lit a cigarette and took a drag. “The entire Wright family, and Ruby Bailey too.”
Evan said nothing.
It would have been better if Felix had not mentioned Ruby.
Once he did, Felix continued, “She nearly cost Stella her life.”
The name “Stella” coming from Felix’s mouth completely ignited Evan’s anger.
He was already calling her Stella now?
That indescribable sense of intimacy made Evan feel as if he was about to lose control.

Even the way he looked at Felix turned colder.
Felix said, “Why did they dare treat Stella that way? Wasn’t it because of you?”
“Because of the way you handled Summer.”
Because of Summer, Evan had let everyone see hope.
And because of that so-called hidden hope, they had all developed the intention to harm Stella.
Evan’s chest ached dully. “Yes. I failed to protect her in the Wright family. But at least I never harmed her. I never tried to sell her to another man.”
He roared the last sentence.
This was what he could not bear most about Stella and Felix.
At first, he had thought Felix had feelings for Stella.
No.
To be precise, Felix did have feelings for Stella, didn’t he?
But so what?
Even with those feelings, he had still sold her to Christian.
Yes, sold.
He had used Stella to please Christian.
After all, Christian had a certain amount of power in Hogarth Group.
For the sake of those projects in Eirden, Felix had actually given Stella to Christian.
At the mention of Christian, Felix fell silent.
He looked at Evan, and the mockery in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, as if he were looking at a fool.
After a long moment, Felix finally said, “End it, all right?”
Evan said nothing.
End it.
End things with Stella just like that?
Yes.
It was time to end it.
But how?
Just then, Harold called.
Evan glanced at Felix.
He did not avoid him and answered the call right in front of him.
“Hello.”
“Give Wright Group to Stella.”
Finally, Harold could no longer hold out.
On the phone, Harold’s voice was as cold as ice. There was anger in it, hatred too, and resentment.
