Chapter 850

Hearing Evan say the same thing, Leon’s face darkened.

If it had been anyone else on the line, he would have lost his temper already.

“Evan..”

“You and Jennifer won’t have a future unless you leave the Redson family.”

Evan knew that better than anyone.

No amount of fighting would change anything unless Leon was willing to cut himself off from his family completely for Jennifer.

Could he do that?

Evan had not left the Wright family for Stella back then.

Would Leon leave the Redsons for Jennifer?

“Evan…”

“Otherwise, there will be no future for the two of you.”

Not even a little.

They could force themselves to stay together.

They could get married.

They could have the paperwork.

But none of that would mean anything.

Seeing Leon and Jennifer at this point, Evan did not bring up the favor again.

He simply ended the call.

Leon stood in the night wind for a long time after the line went dead.

He could barely process what had just happened.

His whole body felt cold.

But colder still was his heart.

Even Evan believed there would be no future for him and Jennifer.

Could he and Jennifer really not make it?

But they even had a child together.

Back in Erden, Stella learned that Jennifer had not managed to leave with Gray’s people.

She gave a knowing smile

“They still have a lot to work through

The moment Stella learned Jennifer was pregnant and Leon knew about it, she had understood that ending the pregnancy would not be easy for Jennifer

“Should we do anything else? Gray asked.

“Not yet”

Gray paused.

“Wait until Jennifer calls again.”

This was ultimately a problem between two people in a relationship.

Even if Stella wanted to help, she still had to follow Jennifer’s wishes.

Jennifer seemed completely determined to leave Leon.

But Stella could not say for sure what Jennifer truly wanted deep down.

Jennifer was clear-headed, yes,

But no woman could be perfectly rational when it came to love.

Gray nodded.

“Understood.”

Just as he finished speaking, a message came through on his phone.

Gray checked it.

The moment he saw the contents, his expression turned grave.

Stella frowned.

“What is it?”

“Our people clashed with Mr. Hernandez’s,” Gray said. “Two of ours were seriously injured.”

Stella went still.

“Clashed?”

The word came out tight.

Her people had clashed with Felix’s people over Summer

And two of them had been seriously hurt

Stella’s hand slowly curled into a fist

“Yes,” Gray said. “Our people had just arrived when Mr. Hernandez’s men showed up. They ran into each other, and things escalated…”

He paused.

Then added, “Mr. Hernandez’s people used firearms.”

Stella fell silent.

Her face had already been dark.

Now it hardened completely,

“They used guns.”

How ironic.

Felix, who had always stood beside her in Harbor City.

Felix, who had always helped her.

Back then, Felix had seemed so good.

He had opposed everything Evan had done to her.

But now, he had become no different from Evan.

For the first time, Stella felt the crushing helplessness of being unable to escape a fate she was meant

to repeat.

As though she was not meant to meet anyone good.

And now, everything around her felt wrapped in fog.

A suffocating fog she could not see through.
