Chapter 1004
Amos fell silerit.
The moment Evan threatened his life again, he no longer dared argue.
How was Amos supposed to guarantee something like that?
Stella was a living, breathing person, not some toy he could lock away whenever he wanted.
“Fine, fine. I’ll have Remi eat and sleep in the same room as her.”
Apparently, everything he had just explained had gone in one ear and out the other.
Reasoning with Evan clearly was not going to work.
“Oh, by the way, Felix has been investigating you.”
Evan’s expression immediately darkened.
“Does he know I’m alive?”
“Probably not. I think he realized I wasn’t the only force involved in taking down Litt.”
“Didn’t Stella hire people too?”
Technically, Amos had not acted alone. Stella had hired additional forces as well.
“I think Felix sensed three separate factions.”
Evan fell silent
If that was the case, Felix was trying to uncover exactly who had been operating behind the scenes.
“Leave him alone,” Evan said coldly.
He and Felix had once been close.
Now, because of Stella, they had become bitter enemies.
If Felix had merely fallen in love with Stella, Evan would have had no one to blame but himself for losing his own wife.
But Felix had put her life in danger.
That was the one thing Evan could never forgive.
Amos left.
Evan remained alone in the room, his brow tightly furrowed and his mind clouded by exhaustion.
No one knew what he had endured in the operating room.
All he had been able to think about was Stella.
Litt was dead now.
No one should be threatening her life anymore.
But whenever Evan thought about how the Hogarth family had treated her, he still could not relax.
There had been countless moments when his consciousness had nearly slipped away, yet he had forced himself to open his eyes
again.
How could he allow Stella to disappear from his world?
How could he let her vanish from the sight of the people protecting her?
Even if it provoked her resistance, Remi and Seymour had to keep her there until he recovered.
Back in Sevi Valley, Stella had sensed that Remi was acting strangely ever since they returned from Mance Island.
Especially when Remi carried a small bed into Stella’s room.
Stella frowned.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m not used to sleeping on the floor, so I brought in a bed.”
“I’m asking why the bed is in my room.”
The conditions in Sevi Valley might have been harsh, but there were plenty of empty rooms.
Remi could easily sleep somewhere else.
“From now on, I’m staying in the same room as you.”
Stella stared at her.
“The same room?”
“Why?”
Her tone immediately cooled.
Even when Litt had still been alive, they had never shared a room.
Now that he was dead, Remi suddenly wanted to stay beside her day and night?
It made no sense.
Then Stella thought of Amos.
Had he made some new arrangement involving her?
Her expression darkened.
Aaron and Felix had nearly traded her away for their interests with Litt.
If even her own brother and Felix could harbor such intentions, then what about Amos?
He claimed his operation against Litt had largely been for Evan.
But had it truly been only about Evan?
Litt had possessed countless valuable resources.
Aaron and Felix had both coveted them.
Stella refused to believe Amos had wanted nothing for himself.
So what was this about now?
