Chapter 878

That bastard feally was impossible to shake.

“Mr. Wright sent me to stay with you from today onward,” Seymour said.

“Stay with me?”

“Yes. Or, if you’re willing, I can take you to Seaborne instead.”

His tone was flat, and his expression was equally cold.

Over the years, Seymour had only handled dangerous assignments.

He had never been sent to protect a woman before.

He was not particularly pleased about it.

But an order was an order.

He had even objected and suggested sending Sid instead, but Evan had insisted that Seymour go personally.

“You can leave,” Stella said.

She had a rough idea why Evan had done this.

Even she could sense that something in Eirden was deeply wrong.

Evan had probably noticed it too.

But what exactly did he want by sending someone here?

Was Seymour really here to protect her?

Or did Evan have another purpose?

Either way, Stella no longer trusted anyone.

Back in Harbor City, Felix had appeared to protect her more than anyone else.

And how had that turned out?

Now Evan had sent someone to protect her, and this man clearly was not ordinary.

If someone like Seymour stayed close to her and decided to do something behind her back, she might never see it coming.

Felix alone had already made her want to escape.

Now Evan was adding himself to the mess too.

The conclusion was simple.

She no longer trusted Felix.

And she did not trust Evan either.

After saying that, Stella turned and walked into the castle .

But Seymour followed as though he had not heard her.

Stella sensed him behind her and turned with a frown .

“Why are you following me ? ”

Chapter 376

“Mr. Wright ordered me to remain close and protect you.”

“Do I look like I need protection?”

She did not.

Not from him.

“You do.”

Stella fell silent.

“You may be the Hogarth family’s little princess, but you still need protection.”

He emphasized the final words.

When their gazes met, his expression was calm but unyielding.

Stella stared into his deep blue eyes, her brows drawing together again..

She could already tell what kind of man he was.

He followed orders.

Nothing she said would make him leave unless Evan told him to.

With no other choice, Stella pulled out her phone and called Evan.

He answered almost immediately.

“Miss me?”

Her face darkened.

“You really have no shame.”

How could he still say something like that under the circumstances?

Given everything between them, why would she miss him?

“I don’t have any other way to deal with you anymore,” Evan said.

Other than being shameless, he genuinely could not think of another approach.

He knew the messages he had been sending her lately were shameless too.

But what else could he do?

If he tried to preserve his dignity now , Stella would not even speak to him.

So dignity had to go.

“Tell your man to leave,” Stella said directly. “I don’t need him.”

“Seymour is already there? That was fast.”

“How fast he got here has nothing to do with me . Tell him to go back . ”

“Let him stay with you. He’s highly capable . If something unexpected happens, he can get you out . ”

“Evan, I don’t think you understand the situation. Was I not clear enough before ? ”

Or had she not made his life miserable enough back in Harbor City ?

“you were perfectly clear,” Evan said. “ I just don’t accept it. You’re still my wife.”

“What do you mean, you don’t accept it?” Stell snapped “You’re probably no different from Felix. You must have some agenda

in Eirden too.”

Evan went silent.

A dull ache spread through his chest.

He knew Stella no longer trusted him.

But he had not expected her to suspect that he might be using her.

“You think I’m treating you like a pawn too?”

A pawn.

Nothing had been proven yet.

But as far as Evan was concerned, that was exactly what Stella was to Felix.

Felix had to be planning to use her for something.
