Chapter 418

A heavy silence settled over the entire living room.

Dora rushed downstairs and went straight to Evan and Fiona. Then she screamed at Stella, “Whoever hurt you, go settle the score with them! Why are you taking it out on us? You vicious woman. Are you trying to drive all of us to our deaths?”

Stella said, “Now that you mention it, death really is one way to end things

Evan went still.

So did Dora.

At Stella’s words, the living room sank into a darker, colder silence

Dora and Evan stared at her, almost unable to breathe.

Stella set down the glass in her hand and looked at them with a faint smile in her eyes. “Do you want to die?”

She was smiling.

But the smile on her face looked terrifyingly unhinged.

As if in the next second, she might pick up the fruit knife from the tray and stab them.

Dora had been shouting so arrogantly because Evan was back.

But now, facing Stella like this, her arrogance vanished again.

How had she forgotten?

Stella’s people had dared to slap her in front of Evan, and Evan still hadn’t been able to do anything about it.

Yet just because Evan had come back, Dora had actually thought she could overpower Stella.

She couldn’t.

That realization swept through Dora’s heart with brutal clarity.

Evan pressed his lips together and stared at Stella, a cold, dark light flickering in his eyes.

Just then, Fiona coughed in his arms and moved weakly.

Dazed, she opened her eyes and saw that Evan was holding her.

In an instant, all her grievance rushed up and made her nose sting.

She sniffed and called out, “Evan.”

Evan lowered his head and saw that she had woken up. “How do you feel?”

“My head hurts so much. I don’t have any strength. I really can’t do it anymore. I’m so cold.”

The wind outside had been too strong.

It had chilled her until she was trembling.

And in that freezing wind, she had still had to soak her frands in icy water.

Fiona had been treated like a little princess since she was a child.

How could she endure such torture?

She couldn’t.

Not long after she started, she fainted beside the faucet. If Evan hadn’t come back, she might still be out

there.

The house was so warm.

Only now did Fiona understand how comforting that warmth could be.

She never wanted to suffer like that again.

“Evan, don’t divorce Stella anymore. Please just coax her properly, okay?”

Fiona had been tormented until her mind was muddled, and now she was talking nonsense.

But even if it sounded like nonsense, it was also the truth.

She could see it now.

What was Summer worth?

What was Evan worth?

In the Wright family now, if Stella was unhappy, no one would have a peaceful day.

What Fiona didn’t know was that Stella was no longer someone Evan could coax back.

As long as Stella stayed in the Wright residence, the entire Wright family would never know peace again.

Evan looked at Stella. “Arrange the car first.”

He forced the four words through clenched teeth.

Stella slowly stroked her neatly manicured nails. “Didn’t I already say she won’t die? Why waste money going to the hospital?”

“Stella, don’t go too far!”

Evan exploded with anger.

A privileged young master like him had never been cornered like this in his life.

Now, facing Stella’s methods, his temper finally snapped.

Originally, he had been on his way to see Felix.

But after getting Patrick’s call, he learned that the trouble overseas was more complicated than he had thought.

He had to go to Eirden immediately.

He had only come back to get an important document.

Who would have thought that, at the intersection, his car would be stopped

He tried to force his way through, only for them to remove the tires.

Stella really was something.
