Chapter 323

Dora was truly losing her mind.

She wanted Stella locked up-

No, she NEEDED her locked up.

Only if that woman went to prison would they finally get some peace.

“I’ll come back this afternoon,” Evan said.

He really didn’t have time right now.

Dora froze.

Her heart dropped.

She had just told him Stella nearly killed her-

And he was still saying he’d come back this afternoon?

For a split second, a terrifying thought crossed her mind.

Was this even her son?

If he were, how could he treat his mother’s life so lightly?

And he still had the nerve to say Stella wasn’t that bad?

Dora tried to speak again-

But Evan had already hung up.

In his mind, whenever the two of them clashed, it had always been Dora who had the upper hand.

When Dora walked back inside, the marks on her neck were impossible to miss.

“Mom, what happened to your neck?” Summer asked, startled.

“Don’t even ask,” Fiona snapped before Dora could answer. “It was Stella’s people. She’s completely insane now p>

“Even if she’s lost it, she can’t treat Mom like that,” Summer said, frowning.

“Exactly! If she went after me, fine-but even Mom…!” Fiona’s voice caught.

Thinking about her grandmother’s belongings being thrown out-

The anger in her chest burned even hotter.

“If you ask me,” Summer said slowly, “you should focus on securing things with Felix. Everything Stella’s doing right now-she only dares because he’s backing her p>

Fiona and Dora exchanged a glance.

They both agreed instantly.

In their eyes, Stella was just an orphan with no background.

The only reason she could act this boldly-

Was because of Felix.

Dora clenched her teeth. “Summer is right. You need to lock things down with Felix as soon as possible p>

At that moment, Dora had completely forgotten about being turned away at the Felix residence.

Or rather-

That humiliation didn’t matter anymore.

As long as Fiona could win Felix over-

Stella would lose her support.

And without that support-

What could she possibly do?

Fiona frowned, irritation flashing across her face. “That’s not something I can control on my own.

Did she not want to move things forward?

Of course she did.

But she couldn’t.

Thinking back to how Felix had treated her at the company-

Not even giving her the slightest bit of face-

Her chest tightened with frustration.

Dora was about to scold her-

But Summer spoke first.

“I told you before,” she said gently, “men like women who are soft and gentle p>

“The way you acted at Felix’s company… and he saw it? Of course he’d have a bad impression of you p>

“So what am I supposed to do now?” Fiona snapped.

Felix already had a bad impression of her.

Right now, her only hope was the Felix’s family-

But they hadn’t given any clear response.

“Go apologize to him,” Summer said. “Men have a soft spot for women who show vulnerability p>

Dora nodded. “Exactly. The only reason Felix is protecting Stella is because she knows how to play the

Fiona went quiet.

Play the victim?

Was Stella really doing that?

Right now, Stella was nothing like that.

She was more like a force of nature-

Unstoppable.

And yet Felix still protected her without hesitation.

So what was it?

Did she act differently in front of him?

But if Fiona had to lower herself like that-

Pretend to be weak in front of Felix-

Something about it made her deeply uncomfortable.
