Chapter 162

Evan’s face darkened.

Dora sat down in the chair by his bed. She tried to hold it back, but in the end she still couldn’t help asking, ” So when are you getting divorced?”

Things had already gotten this bad.

There was no way she could believe Evan still refused to divorce her.

If that was really the case, then Stella had to have put some kind of spell on him.

Otherwise, how could she have him this twisted up?

The moment he heard the word divorce, Evan’s expression turned even colder. “When did I ever say I was divorcing her?”

Dora froze.

Her face darkened even more. “It’s already come to this, and you still won’t divorce her?”

“The reason things got this bad between us isn’t because of us.”

Evan’s voice was icy.

When he looked at Dora, there was no warmth in his eyes at all. “You know exactly why.”

Dora’s face tightened. “You’re blaming me?”

“I’m married. I have my own family now. If your hands are really that idle, then go play cards. Go gamble with the other ladies. Alright?”

That made Dora’s face change instantly. “You’re saying I meddle too much?”

“Don’t you?”

Dora was flabbergasted, “You…”

Was this really her son?

He was trying to drive her to an early grave.

Dora shot to her feet. “You really are going to be the death of me.’

That Stella woman really must know witchcraft.

Otherwise, how could she have her son so bewitched?

Dora stormed out of the room, furious.

She couldn’t stay another second. If she did, she really might collapse from anger.

After she left, Evan closed his eyes. “Tell them not to lay a hand on her.”

Her.

He meant Stella.

He had no intention of getting her out right now.

But he wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her either.

He just wanted her to understand that in Harbor City, the only person who could protect her was him.

No one else would be allowed to touch her.

Patrick nodded. “Got it. I’ll make the arrangements right away.”

As for Dora-

After leaving Evan’s room, she didn’t go back to Summer’s room. She went straight home.

The second she got into the car, she snapped at Fiona, “Tell them not to go easy on that bitch.”

“Okay.”

“I want her dead.”

Dora had completely lost it.

Right now, all she wanted was for Stella to die in there.

Fiona hesitated. “That may not be possible. Second Brother-”

“If not dead, then half-dead.”

Dora cut her off before she could finish.

Just thinking about how Evan still protected Stella no matter what made Dora furious.

Things had gotten this bad, and he was still defending her?

That woman had tried to kill him.

Fiona said, “That’s already been arranged.”

Half-dead was definitely doable.

The moment Stella was taken from Mount Lara, Fiona had already made the calls.

It had taken a lot to get Stella inside, and now that Evan hadn’t immediately stepped in to get her out, there

was no way they were going to waste the chance to make her suffer.

“She poisoned him, and he’s still treating her like treasure,” Dora said through gritted teeth.

Just thinking about it made her furious.

What mother could stand seeing another woman not love her son?

Stella had entered the Wright family with nothing.

Everything she’d had these past few years carte from them.

And this was how she repaid them?

Like raising a snake that turned around and bit you.

Fiona said, “Don’t worry. She’s probably in there looking miserable already.”

Dora nodded. “Only after she’s suffered enough will she understand that life in the Wright family was paradise.”

“Don’t worry,” Fiona said. “I already took care of it.”
