Chapter 1255

Evan drew a deep breath.

“No matter what she does to you, no matter how far she goes… can you spare her?”

Stella fell silent.

Remi was sitting right beside her.

The moment she heard what Evan had just asked, she could hardly believe her ears.

Was he seriously…

Evan continued,

“Felix is on his way to Eirden too. Stella, this is probably about to blow up.”

“Felix might…”

He stopped there.

He couldn’t bring himself to finish the sentence.

But he was right.

The moment Yara learned Stella had returned to Eirden, she had already started losing control.

Right now, she was fighting with Aaron.

Fighting because she wanted Stella dead.

But Stella had returned with Michael’s people this time.

And Felix was coming to Eirden too.

With Yara acting this recklessly, there was no way Michael wouldn’t be furious once he found

out.

And Felix?

That went without saying.

He had spent so long at Stella’s side, willing to do almost anything for her.

Now that Yara was threatening Stella’s life…

There was no telling what Felix might do.

Evan couldn’t enter Eirden directly, and the route he was taking would take much longer.

So before he arrived, he needed to make sure Yara stayed alive.

Stella finally spoke.

You want me to protect her?”

“Your father and Felix won’t let her off if this escalates.”

There was no way Yara’s desire to kill Stella could remain hidden from Michael for long.

If nothing happened between them, Michael might stay out of it.

After all, Yara was still the woman his son cared about.

But once she became a threat to Stella, everything changed..

Michael would obviously protect his own daughter.

And that meant Yara could be in serious danger.

Stella fell silent.

Truthfully, she wanted nothing to do with anyone from the Wright family anymore.

Even after learning that what happened in Harbor City had been based on a mistake, she still had no desire to deal with them.

When Stella didn’t respond, Evan’s breathing grew heavier.

“Three lives,” he said. “In exchange, let Yara walk away alive.”

Stella went still.

Three lives?

She gave a cold laugh.

“Did you forget something?”

Evan frowned.

“What?”

“Those three members of your family didn’t die at my

His heart sank.

That was right.

How had he forgotten?

hands.”

The Wright family’s deaths had not actually been caused by Stella.

Stella’s voice turned cold.

ou people have been hating the wrong person this whole time.”

Evan said nothing.

The wrong person?

She was saying all of them had directed their hatred at the wrong person.

“Yes, I went too far against the Wright family back in Harbor City,” Stella said. “But Evan, have you forgotten that your family and I were already enemies long before any of this?”

Was he seriously trying to use those three deaths to guilt–trip her?

The more Stella thought about it, the clearer everything became.

So what if she had been wrong about her mother?

So what if that particular reason for going after the Wright family had turned out to be false?

She had already been fighting back against the Wright family before her mother’s death ever entered the picture.

“Did you forget what you did to me?”

Her voice grew colder with every word.

“You. Summer. Your mother. Your grandmother.”

“Did you forget what all of you put me through?”

Evan’s chest tightened at the sudden chill in her voice.

Stella let out a cold laugh.

“And you actually have the nerve to ask me to protect Yara?”

The sound carried clearly through the phone.

Stella had never sounded colder.

But beside her, Remi actually felt relieved when she sensed that icy anger coming off her.

Anything was better than the lifeless emptiness Stella had shown near Sima Mountain.

If she had to summon every ounce of strength she had left to fight these people, then so be it.

Stella’s voice sharpened.

“You’re seriously trying to guilt–trip me?”

“Evan, being a mama’s boy is your own problem. Don’t try dumping your guilt on me too. Got
