Chapter 725
But Evan had suddenly dumped this entire mess on Stella and disappeared.
As for what would happen to the Wright family, he clearly did not care anymore.
He had given Stella everything he was supposed to give her. That was all that mattered.
Felix said nothing.
He just looked at Stella.
Stella said, “All right, all right. Once we find him, I’ll divorce him immediately. I won’t drag it out for even a second, okay?”
“Really?”
“Really. Right now, the important thing is finding him.”
It was infuriating.
No one knew why Evan had suddenly done something like this.
That bastard.
Seeing Stella try to soothe him, Felix’s expression eased a little.
Stella said, “But honestly, we have no idea why Evan would do something like this.”
He had pulled this stunt out of nowhere and left everyone confused.
Neither Felix nor Stella understood what Evan was thinking.
Felix said, “Could it be because he found out about your connection to the Hogarth family?”
“That can’t be it, can it?”
Stella shook her head.
From Evan’s behavior all this time, there was no way he could have known.
“He’s always believed you were the one backing me. He even thought Christian and I had something going on.
Honestly, with the way Evan’s mind worked, Stella had no idea how he came up with these things.
Still, it was not an unreasonable guess.
After all…
Compared to all those possibilities, the idea that she was the Hogarth family’s little princess was far harder to
believe.
Felix said, “Then am I the one backing you?”
“Huh?”
The sudden question left Stella blank for a moment.
Felix squeezed her hand.

Stella said, “Uh… yes. In Harbor City, you are.”
There was something strange about his tone.
Stella could not help asking, “Why are you so…”
But she did not finish the question.
Felix knew what she wanted to ask.
There were things he had not told her before because he had been worried she still had feelings for Evan.
But now…
Things were different.
From the way she had treated Evan these past months, Felix no longer had much to worry about.
“Why did you agree to marry Evan back then?” he asked instead of answering her question.
Stella said nothing.
At that question, her expression darkened.
For her, that was probably the only thing between her and Evan that still felt unresolved.
If not for that incident, they never would have ended up together.
But because of it, she felt even more suffocated whenever she thought about it.
Seeing that Stella would not answer, Felix sighed softly. “Because you saved him, and he said he loved you and wanted to repay you. Right?”
Stella said nothing.
Her face darkened further at his words.
Still, she nodded.
Felix said, “What if I told you he lied to you?”
Stella froze.
Her mind went completely blank.
She looked at Felix, unable to understand what he meant.
Felix said, “He lied to you. He married you under false pretenses.”
Stella said nothing.
What?
“You said what?” Stella stared at him in disbelief.
Felix said, “I said he lied to you. He deceived you into marrying him. Do you understand now?”
Stella said nothing.
Her breathing caught sharply.
