Chapter 838

The line crackled with hostility.

Felix’s anger was so intense that Eyan could feel it through the phone.

When Felix was too furious to answer, Evan gave a low laugh.

“The Wright family may be gone, but you still can’t take me down, Felix.”

Did Felix really think the version of Evan he had seen in Harbor City was all there was to him?

Back then, Evan had not wanted the Wright family to collapse, so he had given in to Stella again and again.

And when Stella wanted Dora and the others to pay that kind of price, part of him had struggled to accept it.

There had even been moments when he considered using the forces he had in Seaborne.

But that would have meant turning them against Stella.

And in the end, he could not do it.

If this had only been about Felix, Evan might have been willing to burn everything down with him.

But Stella was involved.

Even after things between them had reached that point, he still could not bring himself to go that far.

“Is that so?” Felix said.

“You call me dishonest for lying to Stella, but have you ever truly been honest with her?”

Felix said nothing.

“Do you dare tell her why you really came to Eirden?”

Felix remained silent.

“Between gratitude and self-interest, Felix, I don’t believe gratitude is what matters most to you.”

Stella had saved Felix once.

But when that debt of gratitude became tangled up with profit and power, would Felix still choose gratitude?

Evan did not think so.

To Felix, that so-called debt of gratitude probably meant very little after all.

“You talk too much.”

Felix ended the call.

Jack arrived moments later.

Felix got into the back seat, lit a cigarette, and took several hard drags.

Then he looked toward Jack in the front.

“Find Evan. Do not let him leave Eirden.”

Jack hesitated

“Yes, sir.”

There was uncertainty in his voice.

And a distinct lack of confidence.

The Evan they were dealing with now was not the same man they had known in Harbor City.

If he had truly been only the man he appeared to be back then, anyone could have handled him.

But after going to Seaborne, Evan seemed far more complicated than they had realized.

It was becoming clear that even his closest friends had never known the full extent of what he could do.

Being heir to the Wright family had only been the version of Evan everyone saw on the surface.

“What is it?”

Felix’s brows drew together at Jack’s hesitation.

The displeasure in his expression was obvious.

“Mr. Wright is difficult to pin down,” Jack said carefully. “It feels like everything he showed Miss Rowan in Harbor City may

have been an act.”

Even if it had looked real at the time, everything seemed different after Evan left Harbor City for Seaborne.

Taking him down now would not be easy.

Felix’s expression turned colder.

His broad hand curled slowly, the pressure in the car turning almost suffocating.

“Does Miss Rowan know the truth about Summer now?” Jack asked.

With Stella and Felix at odds like this, Jack suspected she knew everything.

At the mention of it, Felix’s irritation deepened.

“Evan found out everything and told her.”

That was why Felix wanted Evan gone.

He had shattered every one of Felix’s plans.

Jack’s heart sank.

“Then what do we do now? Are we still moving forward with the plan for Summer?”

Everything had taken such an unexpected turn.

No one had imagined Summer could be connected to that person.
