Chapter 904

He had no intention of taking the airport route or traveling by sea either.

After spending so many years in Seaborne, Seymour knew Felix and Aaron would be searching for Stella everywhere by now.

“Where are we going?” Stella asked coldly from the back seat.

“The Black Sea.”

Stella gave a bitter laugh.

Felix wanted to take her to the Black Sea.

Now Evan’s man had taken her, only to bring her to the exact same place.

So she truly had no choice in the matter.

Her phone vibrated.

Aaron was calling.

The moment she saw his name, discomfort twisted in her chest.

She rejected the call.

Back in Harbor City, seeing Aaron’s name on her screen had always filled her with warmth.

He was her brother.

Her family.

Growing up, she had only ever known the care of the orphanage.

That kind of affection was different from being loved by your own family.

She had cherished the protection Aaron gave her as her brother.

But returning to Eirden had taught her a painful lesson.

Now she finally understood exactly what disappointment and heartbreak felt like.

The moment the call ended, Aaron called again.

Stella hesitated before finally answering.

She held the phone to her ear without speaking.

In the past, she would have immediately called him Aaron.

Now even his name seemed lodged in her throat.

“Stella.”

Aaron had clearly sensed the distance in her silence.

“You won’t even call me your brother anymore?”

“There’s no point.”

Look how easily she could say it now.

Perhaps Harbor City had taught her that.

Chapter 90

The moment she sensed someone could hurt her, she protected herself first.

Whether her defenses hurt the other person no longer mattered.

Aaron was still her family.

She would never retaliate against the Hogarth family the way she had gone after the Wrights in Harbor City.

But family had begun to feel like a cage, and Stella was the animal trapped inside it.

All she could do was get as far away from the Hogarths as possible.

“You really are heartless,” Aaron said.

There was affection in his voice, but even more helplessness.

Men like Aaron had spent their entire lives weighing risks against rewards.

When it came to Summer, both he and Felix had known that stopping Stella in any way would hurt her.

But they had not thought deeply enough about it.

They had only believed that once they obtained what they needed from General Litt, everything would be over.

They had underestimated how completely Stella despised Summer.

Now she truly wanted nothing more to do with either of them.

Stella did not respond.

“You’re with Evan’s men now?” Aaron asked.

“Why?” Stella replied. “Are you going to tell me to go quietly with Evan because he has something you need too?”

She had been manipulated too many times.

Now every situation looked like another scheme aimed at using her.

“Is that really how you see me?”

“Isn’t that exactly what you’re like? I don’t need to ‘see’ anything.”

How could he still act surprised?

Had he truly failed to understand what kind of man he was?

“Can you get out of the car?” Aaron asked.
