Chapter 145
At first, Ruby had wanted to talk things over with Stella.
But given Stella’s attitude, Ruby no longer felt there was anything left to say.
Summer agreed.
In her eyes, Stella was nothing more than an orphan pretending she was royalty.
Ruby glanced at Summer. “Keep pushing on Fiona’s side too. It needs to happen as soon as possible.”
No matter what, they had to cut off Stella’s path to Felix.
Without Felix backing her, Ruby refused to believe Stella could still act this untouchable.
Summer nodded. “I know.”
After all, Fiona had already agreed to start making a real effort with Felix.
As long as she was willing to lower herself a little, things between them would move quickly.
“Don’t worry, Mom. It’ll happen soon enough. And when it does, we’ll make Stella pay for everything.”
Summer’s voice was vicious.
Thinking about all the gossip and humiliation she had suffered in Harbor City these past few days, all she wanted now was to see Stella ruined.
But with Felix standing behind Stella, it was still hard to make a move.
So no matter what, they had to wait until Fiona and Felix were settled first.
Ruby nodded, then looked at Alex. “Get things ready. We’re going to the Eirden.”
Alex nodded, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. “But Andrew is still in Mr. Wright’s hands.
Mentioning Andrew only made Ruby’s expression darken further,
And when Summer heard that name, her face was no better.
Mother and daughter exchanged a look.

Ruby’s tone turned grave. “I know you can’t stand his existence. But I have to go to the Eirden now. Andrew is your responsibility.”
“Mine?”
The words made Summer’s chest tighten.
Ruby said coldly, “What else do you expect? If I stay in Harbor City and keep negotiating with Evan over Andrew, then our business in the Eirden will collapse completely. And your precious status as the Bailey family’s only princess will vanish with it.
“You really think your mother-in-law will still let you have an easy life in the Wright family after that?”

Sumuner fell silent.
Of course she wouldn’t.
The only reason she held this kind of position in the Wright family was because she had a powerful mother
behind her.
No one understood that better than Summer herself.
After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she finally nodded. “I’ll talk to Evan.”
“Not talk,” Ruby corrected coldly. “Get Andrew out of his hands.”
Her tone was even more severe now, edged with unmistakable pressure.
Under that pressure, Summer finally nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll get him out.”
…
Ruby truly had no more ideas when it came to Stella.
Even though she had been beaten so badly she could barely move, she still had no choice but to leave for the Eirden first.
At Mount Lara-
Evan brought Stella back there again.
He had Patrick send all the documents straight to the estate.
If there were meetings, they would be handled by video conference.
Clearly, Stella’s unwavering determination to divorce him had finally pushed him into a corner.
Stella was exhausted.
Back at Mount Lara, she knew that trying to make a scene right under Evan’s nose was pointless. There was no way she could get away.
So she simply went to sleep.
Gray called her.

Stella said, “Don’t come looking for me these next few days. I don’t want him finding out about my brother.”
As far as Evan knew, Gray was still one of Felix’s people.
Stella did feel a little bad for dragging Felix into this.
But she had no choice.
At this point, she did not want any unnecessary complications with the Hogarth Group either.
Because when Evan lost control, he really did lose control.
“Understood,” Gray said.
“Inform Aaron for me,” Stella said. “I’m hanging up now.”
Just then, Evan pushed open the door and caught that last sentence.
