Stella replied almost immediately.
‘Always.’
When Lucas saw the message, his heart finally settled.
Damn brat.
She had just threatened him because of Evan.
Still…
Lucas had always stayed neutral.
When friends fought with their families, he never got involved. He hadn’t wanted to come this time either.
Evan had forced him to.
Seriously, if his family was fighting, he should just close the door and fight it out at home. Why drag Lucas into it?
Lucas’s car had only just left the Wright residence when Evan called.
Lucas answered. “Evan.”
“Did she agree?” Evan asked directly.
Lucas said, “Looks like I won’t be earning that five million.”
He sounded genuinely regretful.
He wasn’t short that five million, but the fact that Evan had offered him money to persuade Stella showed just how badly Evan had been pushed.
Unfortunately, this money really wasn’t something Lucas could earn.
Evan’s face darkened. “Why?”
“She won’t divorce you.”
On the other end of the call, Evan fell silent.

Sitting in his office, Evan’s expression turned completely cold when he heard Lucas’s answer.
She refused to divorce him.
“Didn’t she want a divorce before?” Evan gritted out. “Did you ask why she suddenly doesn’t?”
He had offered her so much money, yet she still refused.
What exactly did she want?
Would she only be satisfied if she dragged the entire Wright family down with her?
What good would any of this do her?

Or did she feel happy as long as everyone in the Wright family was miserable?
“I asked,” Lucas said. “Skę didn’t say.’
اور
Before Lucas left, Stella had already threatened him like that. How could he dare say anything?
Even if he knew, he would have to pretend he didn’t.
Besides, he truly didn’t know the real reason Stella refused to divorce Evan.
Evan’s face sank even further.
“So you’re telling me you made that trip for nothing? You went all the way there and got no information?”
“Nope.”
Evan was silent.
Now his expression was truly ugly.
He had sent Lucas to persuade Stella, but he hadn’t really expected Lucas to succeed.
The real reason was that he wanted Lucas to get some information out of her.
Some conflicts could only be resolved once the real cause was found.
He had to solve it from the root.
Lucas understood what Evan meant too.
He sighed and said, “Back when you actually had the chance to handle the conflict between them properly, you never wanted to put in the effort. Now you want to fix it?”
Evan said nothing.
He was already overwhelmed, and Lucas’s words only made his face turn darker.
His head ached.
In a surge of anger, he hung up.

Trevor placed a document on the desk in front of him, his expression grave. “This is the last overseas project. Now it’s also…”
He didn’t finish the sentence.
He knew better than anyone how much effort Evan had put into his overseas business all these years.
But now, it was gone.
Everything was gone.
All of Evan’s overseas investments had burst like a bubble.
One pop, and they had all vanished.
Evan narrowed his eyes. “Get the car ready. I’m going to Hernandez Group.”

This time, Felix really was trying to wipe him out.
A cold smile tugged at Evan’s lips.
All those years of friendship had finally shattered completely because of one woman.
Felix.
Well done.
