Chapter 349
At the beginning, they had refused her demand.
They wouldn’t give her the money.
And now?
After she had burned through so many of the Wright family’s properties in a single day-
Evan was the one offering fifty billion.
That alone said everything.
He wanted her gone.
Immediately.
Completely.
These past days, he believed he had done enough.
Given enough.
Compromised enough.
But she never turned back.
She kept pushing.
Kept tearing everything apart.
And now-
he had nothing left to give.
Stella let out a soft laugh.
“Fifty billion, huh?”
The number rolled off her tongue lightly.
Almost amused.
She had already seen the reports coming in from Aaron.
She knew exactly how much pressure he was under right now.
There was no way-
no way-
he could pull together fifty billion in cash without bleeding elsewhere.
And yet, here he was.

Offering it.
Just to end this.
Just to get rid of her.
Evan’s voice turned colder.
“Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”
“Take the money. Leave the Wright family. Leave… this place.”
He didn’t even try to hide it anymore.
He didn’t want to see her again.
If it was going to end-
then it had to end clean.
A world without her.
A world without him.
Maybe that-
was the only peaceful ending left.
Stella raised a brow slightly.
“Unfortunately,” she said softly, “I don’t want a divorce anymore.”
The words landed like a bomb.
Fifty billion-
to buy peace?
To bury everything that had happened?
To erase the hatred?
Impossible.
Evan’s expression darkened.
“Then tell me what’s the point of continuing like this?”
“Just one day, and you’ve already destroyed their lives.”
Stella’s gaze sharpened.
“Does it hurt?”
Evan’s jaw tightened.

“Isn’t this enrough?”
“Enough?”
She laughed softly.
“How could this possibly be enough?”
Just one day.
And they were already falling apart.
So what would happen next?
Evan thought he could end everything with a single sentence.
Just like that.
He was wrong.
Very wrong.
She wasn’t done.
Not even close.
“What exactly do you mean?” he demanded.
For the first time-
there was real urgency in his voice.
A thought flashed through his mind.
‘She doesn’t want a divorce.’
That should have been good news.
Something he had once wanted desperately.
But now-
looking at the cold smile on her lips-
he knew.
This wasn’t reconciliation.
This was something else entirely.
Something far worse.
Stella met his eyes.

Clear
Unwavering.
“It means I’m not divorcing you.”
Evan froze.
Those three words-
once something he had longed to hear-
now felt suffocating.
“What do you want?” he asked, his voice rough with restrained anger.
Fifty billion wasn’t enough.
Then what was?
That had been her number before.
Now he had agreed.
And she still refused.
Stella leaned back slightly.
“What I want depends on my mood.”
A pause.
Then-
“Divorce, though? That’s not happening.”
The certainty in her tone left no room for doubt.
Evan’s breathing hitched.
His anger surged again.
Their eyes locked.
His-cold, sharp, dangerous.
Hers-steady, unyielding, unbreakable.
“Think carefully,” he said at last, voice low with warning.
“If you agree now, it’s fifty billion.”
“If you don’t… then what comes next—”

He didn’t finish.
But the threat was clear.
Stella smiled.
Calm. Mocking.
“You should worry about your own problems first.”
She tilted her head slightly.
“And how you’re planning to survive what’s coming.”
A soft scoff escaped her lips.
“Trying to threaten me right now?”
“Seriously?”
