Chapter 426

Felix.

Hogarth Group.

Stella.

The three names tangled together, and everything Evan had believed before shattered in an instant.

On top of that, Fiona and Dora had told him Stella was involved with a man from Eirden.

That completely overturned his assumptions about Stella and Felix.

He suspected…

“Who at Hogarth Group did Felix introduce you to?”

That was his most direct suspicion now.

No..

Not suspicion. Certainty.

He was certain someone at Hogarth Group had taken an interest in Stella.

And Felix had been working with Hogarth Group for years.

So if Stella had gotten connected to someone there, it had to be Felix’s doing.

Good.

How wonderful.

Felix really was his good brother.

Hogarth Group’s relentless attacks on Wright Corporation over the past few days suddenly seemed to make

sense.

Stella turned her head slightly and looked at him. “You have quite the imagination.” (

“You trust Felix that much? You believe everything he says? He sold you out, and you don’t even know it?”

Evan was completely losing his mind.

Stella said, “He sold me out? What about you?”

“What about me?”

“The Wright family wanted me dead.”

Evan froze.

Which was more terrifying?

Being sold out, or having someone come for your life?

At this point, Stella had no intention of explaining anythitig to Evan.

She never would.

After all, he had never believed her.

Stella yanked her hand free and was about to go upstairs again when Dora hurried down.

“Fiona has a high fever. She has to go to the hospital.”

She looked anxiously at Evan.

Hearing that Fiona had to go to the hospital, Evan instinctively looked at Stella.

But Stella’s face was cold and indifferent.

She walked straight upstairs.

Evan said, “Lift your restrictions. We need to go to the hospital.”

His words came through clenched teeth, but Stella ignored him completely and continued upstairs.

Seeing her attitude, Evan panicked. “Stella!”

By then, Stella had already reached the upper floor. Hearing Evan’s angry shout, she turned back to look at

him.

“It’s just a fever. Why go to the hospital?”

Evan froze.

Dora trembled with rage. “You vicious woman. You’re simply…”

“Back then, Summer’s depression took up too many hospital resources,” Stella said. “So we shouldn’t waste them anymore.”

With that, she turned and went into her room.

Evan and Dora stood at the foot of the stairs, barely able to believe what they had just heard.

Dora looked at Evan. “What does she mean? Is she saying Summer was wrong to go to the hospital for depression? You see it now, don’t you? She’s vicious.”

Too vicious.

Dora was about to lose her mind.

As for Evan, when he heard Stella mention Summer’s depression, Lucas’s words flashed through his mind.

Lucas had said Summer’s depression hadn’t acted up in days.

That was right.

Why?

On the phone, he had snapped at Lucas.
