Chapter 751

Old Mrs. Wright was completely furious.

Dora said, “I…”

Did she know?

She truly did not.

Back when Stella had first started dating Evan, all Dora knew was that Stella had grown up in an orphanage.

Seeing Dora unable to defend herself, Old Mrs. Wright became even more enraged.

“And you kept saying she came from an orphanage.

“What kind of girl raised in an orphanage has connections like this? Look at the kind of person who came to meet her!”

The more Old Mrs. Wright thought about Dora insisting that Stella had come from an orphanage, the angrier she became.

Because Dora had investigated Stella and claimed she had grown up without a family, Old Mrs. Wright had never treated Stella kindly after she entered the Wright family.

Even after Stella and Evan moved out of the Wright estate, Old Mrs. Wright had never made things easy for her.

Every humiliation had been meant to drive Stella out of the Wright family.

But now…

Dora was not the only one drowning in despair.

Old Mrs. Wright regretted it too.

She regretted never treating Stella with kindness.

If she had been more loving toward Stella during those years, could the Wright family have avoided this disaster?

A disaster.

That was exactly what this was for the Wright family.

After seeing how close Stella was to Aaron, everyone finally understood that the Wright family would never

recover .

“This is the wonderful daughter–in–law you brought into the family! Back then, you kept saying she was perfect, and I told you a woman like her would never amount to anything.”

After tearing into Dora, Old Mrs. Wright turned her anger on Harold.

At this point, Dora irritated her, but Harold made her just as furious.

Harold gave Dora a cold look.

Tears streamed down Dora’s face.

“I didn’t know. I truly didn’t know anything.”

The day before, Summer had been devastated.

Now Dora was no better.

If anything, she felt even more hopeless than Summer.

“You didn’t know? She was your daughter–in–law for all those years. Did you ever truly care about her?”

Old Mrs. Wright shouted.

Harold did not say a single word in Dora’s defense.

And because of his silence, Old Mrs. Wright only became more vicious toward Dora.

Dora said, “I…”

“What were you even thinking? How could you be this foolish? You knew absolutely nothing about your own daughter–in–law.

“She has ties to the Hogarth family, and you had no idea.”

The Hogarth family.

If they had known sooner, the Wright family’s overseas business could have received enormous support.

Back when Wright Group had first expanded overseas, they had struggled for years.

And now it seemed that something Stella could have accomplished with a single word might have changed everything.

The thought made Old Mrs. Wright hate Dora even more.

Harold felt the same.

After a long while, Old Mrs. Wright finally tired herself out and went back to the bedroom to rest.

Harold looked at Dora.

Dora sniffed miserably. “Don’t act like I was the only one who never cared about her. You didn’t either.”

“I was her father–in–law. How exactly was I supposed to care for her?”

Dora said nothing.

His words left her speechless again.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Dora looked at Fiona.

“I’ll get it,” Fiona said.

“ Check who it is first.”

Dora’s voice was tense.

Too many people had been hostile toward thern lately.

That morning, someone had even come to their door carrying a knife.

Dora was still shaken by it.

Fiona knew that too.

She looked through the peephole first.

The moment she saw people in uniform outside, her heart dropped.

She turned back toward Dora.

“Who is it?” Dora asked.

Fiona swallowed hard.

“It’s… it’s the police.”
