Chapter 416

Summer understood the tritation in Dora’s tone, and her heart sank

That “don’t even bring it up” made it obvious things hadn’t gone smoothly

Summer took a deep breath. “Felix’s family still wouldn’t see you? What about Fiona? Did she see Felix?”

Whether the Hernandez family knew or not didn’t really matter.

What mattered was that Felix had to know Stella was a bitch who had betrayed him.

No man could put up with being deceived by a woman he protected so carefully.

And besides, Felix and Stella had probably only just started getting close.

Once Felix found out, wouldn’t he destroy Stella?

Dora had no good news, but Summer wasn’t too disappointed.

What really mattered was Fiona’s side.

But at the mention of Fiona, Dora’s expression turned even worse.

Seeing that Dora wasn’t speaking, Summer asked, “Fiona still isn’t back?”

“She’s back. She’s probably washing curtains and rugs right now.”

“What? Why is she still washing?”

If Felix knew Stella was tangled up with a man from Eirden, shouldn’t this whole thing be over?

Why was Fiona still washing things after coming back?

Only then did Summer finally sense that something was wrong.

“What happened? Shouldn’t Felix be going after Stella now? How are you still being controlled by her?”

Summer spoke through gritted teeth.

This was such a big deal.

Surely Felix wasn’t still protecting Stella.

No.

That was absolutely impossible.

If Felix had even a little sense, he wouldn’t keep protecting Stella.

Dora said, “Felix almost killed Fiona today because of it.”

Thinking of the wound on Fiona’s forehead, Dora gritted her teeth in fury.

Even after that, Stella still made Fiona wash things.

That vicious woman.

Why didn’t she just die?

Summer stared at her. “How could that happen? Shouldn’t Felix have wanted to kill Stella instead?”

By the end, Summer couldn’t help raising her voice.

It had been such a perfect chance.

It might have been their only chance to bring Stella down in front of Felix.

They had handed such important information to Felix.

And this was the result they brought back?

Summer’s expression darkened.

She looked at Dora.

Dora was just as furious. “I don’t know what happened. Fiona told Felix everything she needed to tell him, and this was still the result. What could we do?”

The thought made Dora almost sick with anger.

She even felt a little hopeless.

And it wasn’t just her. Summer and Fiona felt just as hopeless.

Summer said, “Such a good opportunity, wasted just like that. Who can deal with her now?”

Even Evan couldn’t do anything to Stella anymore.

Now they had missed this chance too.

Were they supposed to keep living these miserable days forever?

“What do you mean, wasted?” Dora snapped. “Are you saying we weren’t capable enough?”

She was already angry.

Now, hearing Summer’s tone, Dora’s temper flared too.

Summer froze.

୮

Seeing Dora get angry, she swallowed back the rest of her words, no matter how unwilling she was.

She was furious.

If this wasn’t a wasted opportunity, what was it?

Had she wronged them?

Stella had betrayed Felix.

She had played Felix.

Such important information had been handed to them, and they had still managed to ruin it.

If Sunmet had known this would happen, she would have gene herself.

And now look at this mess

Seeing Summer fall silent, Dora still had a fire burning in her chest. “Did you have anything to do with her miscarriage before?”

Summer froze.

At Dora’s question, her breathing stalled.

“Mom, you…”

“That car accident back then. ‘You did it on purpose, didn’t you? And the day you gave birth, did you really push her?”

When Stella had said these things before, no one in the Wright family had believed her.

But now Dora was starting to believe it.

Maybe Stella wasn’t simply taking revenge because Dora had mistreated her before.

Maybe she was taking revenge for the two children she had lost.
