Chapter 1200

She was genuinely afraid Evan wouldn’t make it out of Aaron’s territory alive.

If Evan had stayed in Seaborne, Aaron would at least have had to put in some effort to get to

him.

But Mieda was different.

This was Aaron’s domain.

Evan’s voice came through the phone.

“This isn’t something you need to get involved in.”

“Evan!”

Yara’s voice sharpened.

What did he mean, she didn’t need to get involved?

It always seemed as though nothing was ever her place to ask about.

But she was a Wright too.

“Don’t fall for him,” Evan said.

Yara froze.

What did he mean?

“The Wright family and the Hogarth family are enemies now. There’s no going back.”

“Stella is dead. You don’t have to…”

“Even if she were still alive, it would be the same.”

Evan spoke through clenched teeth.

Yara’s heart jolted.

The hatred in his voice was unmistakable, the kind that sounded as though he wanted to tear everything apart.

“What exactly did you send him?”

“It was…”

Evan paused.

Then he said slowly, one word at a time,

“The truth about how their mother died.”

Yara went still.

Their mother?

The truth about the death of Aaron and Stella’s mother?

Could it be…

“The Wright family wasn’t responsible?”

Silence fell over the line.

Evan didn’t answer, but the hostility in his breathing seemed to grow heavier even through the phone.

Yara’s own breathing tightened.

The Wright family wasn’t responsible?

If that was true, then what had everything Stella did to the Wright family been for?

And what did that make Aaron’s brutal revenge against them?

“Evan!”

Yara could barely get the word out.

Evan said, “Whatever happens, you and Aaron had better not get emotionally involved.”

Because from this moment on, the Wright family and Aaron Hogarth were enemies beyond

reconciliation.

“There’s nothing between us!”

How could she possibly have feelings for a monster like him?

But still…

“Did the Wright family really have nothing to do with their mother’s death?”

Yara still couldn’t quite believe it.

Stella and Aaron should both have investigated what happened thoroughly before taking

action.

If…

If the Wright family truly hadn’t been responsible, then what did that make everything Stella

had done to them?

Evan finally answered.

“It’s not that the Wright family had absolutely nothing to do with it. But we weren’t directly responsible for her death.”

She really had collapsed in front of members of the Wright family.

But what happened afterward was different.

Once she was taken to the hospital, someone tampered with her surgery.

It was an enemy of Michael Hogarth.

That was the real cause of the death of Aaron and Stella’s mother.

The Wright family had done terrible things, but they hadn’t been the ones who actually killed her.

Yara’s voice turned tight.

“Not directly responsible?”

“One of the Hogarth family’s enemies was the one who made sure she died.”

Yara’s heart sank.

“So the Wright family really didn’t kill her.”

Her voice hardened as she said it.

If that was true, then what right had Stella had to do all those things to the Wright family?

And what right did Aaron have to do this to her?

The past few weeks flashed through Yara’s mind.

Because of their mother’s death, she had lived every moment under the weight of guilt and

fear.

And the Wright family…

Just thinking about what had happened to them made it impossible for her to accept.

“Why are we only finding this out now?” Yara shouted into the phone.
