Chapter 1107
Amos took Ivy and got out of Seaborne as fast as he could.
They were gone that very afternoon.
When Evan heard the news, his expression darkened.
Before leaving, Amos had even tossed him one last piece of advice.
“If it comes down to it, just back down a little. Aaron can actually be pretty softhearted.”
Long after Amos was gone, Evan still hadn’t recovered from the absurdity of that statement.
Did Amos even hear himself?
Back down?
He wanted Evan to back down to Aaron?
What kind of joke was that?
And Aaron was softhearted?
That was an even bigger joke.
When Yara learned that Amos had taken Ivy and left, she realized just how serious things had
become .
Especially after hearing that Aaron might personally come to Seaborne.
“Evan , maybe you should leave too.”
Even Amos had taken Ivy and fled.
Unlike Amos, Yara had no illusions about Aaron.
As far as she was concerned, Aaron was completely insane.
Truly , terrifyingly insane.
Evan frowned . “ Leave ? ”
“ He’s a madman. If he comes here himself , I’m afraid … ”
Yara thought back to the ruthless way Aaron had spoken about Evan when he and Felix were making their plans.
She was genuinely scared.
Nothing good could come from confronting a man like that .
Someone was going to get hurt.

No.
It wouldn’t stop at getting hurt.
Someone could actually die.
During the time Yara had spent around Aaron, she had seen firsthand just how little a human life could mean to people like him.
She was terrified.
“ You need to leave. You really do,” she urged. “And if he wants the signed divorce papers , just give them to him.”
Whatever it took to avoid facing Aaron head–on, Evan should do it.
Evan pressed his lips into a hard line and looked at her coldly.
“Evan…”
“Shut up . ”
These days , the slightest suggestion that he should give Stella up was enough to make him lose his temper.
“ But Fiona, Mom , and Dad are all in his hands, aren’t they?”
If Stella were still alive, Yara probably wouldn’t have told Evan to make this choice .
But things were different now.
Stella was gone.
No matter how awful the Wright family had been, even Yara, their own daughter , couldn’t stand them most of the time .
But she still couldn’t simply watch them die.
Evan said nothing .
At her reminder , the blood in his veins seemed to turn to ice .
They were all in Aaron’s hands.
That lunatic had every one of them.
Was he being forced to choose again ?
Why?
Why did it always come down to Stella or the Wright family?
Why did he have to make the same choice over and over again?
N
“If Stella were still alive, you….”
Yara stopped.
She couldn’t finish the sentence.
If Stella were still alive and Evan faced this exact choice, history had already shown what he would
do
Every single time, he had chosen the Wright family .
But Stella was gone now.
So what would he choose this time?
“She might not be dead, ” Evan said hoarsely. “She might be somewhere out there, watching me.
The words were filled with pain.
He truly believed there was a chance she was still alive.
And if she was…
Then she might be watching him face the same choice all over again.
The Wright family or her,
And if he chose the Wright family again…
Evan couldn’t bear to follow that thought any further.
He closed his eyes in agony.
“Just don’t confront Aaron, ” Yara pleaded, pain filling her voice as well . “ He really is insane . ”
Then , after a pause, she added softly , “And you need to accept that Stella is gone . ”
What did he mean , she might still be alive ?
During her time in Seaborne, Yara had more or less learned exactly what Stella had meant to Silas.
The hatred between them had run far too deep.
