Chapter 408

Five minutes later, Fiona net Felix in his office.

Felix was dressed in a tailored suit. Even sitting there reading through documents, he gave off an intimidating presence.

Fiona swallowed without thinking.

She walked up to his desk and lifted her eyes, only to meet his deep, terrifying gaze.

She had grown up in the Wright family and had seen all kinds of powerful people since she was little.

Even so, Felix’s dark, oppressive stare still shook her.

She swallowed again. “Today, I heard Stella on the phone with someone from Eirden. À man.”

“She said that once everything in Harbor City was over, she would go back to Eirden. Do you know what that means?”

Felix narrowed his eyes. “What does it mean?”

“It means she’s a slut. She lied to you. She used you to go after the Wright family. She’s been fooling around with other men, and she doesn’t really like you at all.”

Seeing the disbelief in Felix’s eyes, Fiona grew anxious and spoke even faster.

But the moment those ugly insults against Stella left her mouth, Felix’s gaze turned sharp and icy.

Fiona noticed the change in his eyes.

She thought he had been provoked by Stella’s betrayal.

A thrill of satisfaction rose in her chest.

She continued, “That bitch is using you while keeping some lover in Eirden on the side. She still won’t divorce my brother either. She wants every benefit for herself.

“And you still want to help her? Protect her?”

Felix looked at her coldly and said nothing.

The colder and more dangerous his eyes became, the more pleased Fiona felt.

See?

Men liked women who were loyal to them.

୮

The only reason her brother had refused to let Stella go before was because he hadn’t known about her filthy little secrets.

Now that Stella had been tangled up with Felix, her brother wanted a divorce too.

And Felix…

After hearing what Fiona had brought him, forget protecting that bitch.

It would be a miracle if he didn’t tear her apart himself.

Watching Felix’s expression grow more dangerous, Fioria went on, I heard it with my own ears. She said on the phone that she missed him.”

Fiona emphasized the words missed him heavily, afraid Felix might not catch the point.

Be angry.

Let that anger burn hotter and hotter.

It would be best if it burned Stella to ashes.

Thinking of all the houses Stella had burned down in the Wright family recently, Fiona felt her hatred surge.

That woman really had some nerve. She had even dared to deceive Felix.

She could deceive him all she wanted.

Too bad she wouldn’t be able to survive Felix’s wrath.

“That bitch has been lying to you this whole time. She’s using your power to act like she owns the Wright residence.”

With every repeated bitch, the warmth in Felix’s eyes disappeared completely.

Just as Fiona started again, “That bitch…”

In the next instant, something came flying straight at her.

Before she could react, it slammed into her forehead,

There was a heavy thud.

Fiona didn’t even understand what had happened. She only felt as if that thud had rattled her brain inside

her skull.

A thick, metallic-smelling liquid slid down her forehead.

She instinctively reached up and touched it. Her palm came away wet.

When she brought her hand in front of her eyes, she nearly fainted.

Blood.

So much blood.

Fiona stared at Felix in disbelief. “You…”

“The Wright family is still one of the top families in Harbor City,” Felix said coldly. “You were raised as a wealthy young lady. How did you turn out this poorly?”

Fiona froze.

“Is this how Mrs. Wright usually teaches her children?”

Fiona’s breath caught “No. No, that’s not it. I was just too angry. I hate her for lying to you. She played you!”

Fiona stared at him in disbeltet.

What did he mean by this?

Why was he still protecting Stella?
