Chapter 32

Stella had grown up alone.

From childhood until now, she had had no one to rely on.

No matter what kind of injustice she suffered, she had always been the one to fight back for herself.

She wasn’t the type to take a hit and stay quiet.

Before, when Summer crossed the line, Stella had lacked solid proof. Without evidence, she would never act recklessly.

But now?

Now the proof was undeniable.

And Evan still wanted her to let Summer go?

What she hadn’t expected was that Evan would drag Felix into this.

“Leave Mr. Henderson out of this,” Stella said coldly into the phone.

Evan let out a short, humorless laugh. “What, are you protecting him? Stella, we’re not divorced yet p>

His temper was spiraling.

That was how it always worked. Once suspicion took root, it grew uncontrollably.

Right now, Evan wasn’t thinking clearly. He refused to believe Felix had nothing to do with this.

The coincidences were too much.

The public outrage wouldn’t die down.

Stella had been picked up by a man from Eirden.

Felix had plenty of Eirden connections.

The trending posts were all coming from overseas accounts.

Felix could absolutely pull that off.

“You still remember we’re not divorced?” Stella shot back. “Weren’t you planning to use our shared assets to clean up Summer’s mess in front of me p>

Her voice was steady. Sharp.

“Then tell me,” she continued, “you and Summer have absolutely nothing going on p>

Evan felt like something was lodged in his chest.

The veins at his temple throbbed. “We’re talking about you and Felix. Why are you dragging Summer into this p>

He wanted an explanation.

Instead

“I’m not as shameless as you,” Stella said flatly.

“Stella 99

But she had already hung up.

The only time she had called him in two days… was to defend another man.

And she hung up on him for that man.

Evan exploded.

He hurled his phone onto the carpet. It hit with a dull thud, bounced once, and rolled to a stop at Felix’s feet.

Felix looked down at it.

Whatever warmth remained between them as brothers had vanished.

“Felix,” Evan demanded, breathing hard, “ you’d better explain p>

“We’re not as shameless as you,” Felix cut in coldly.

Evan froze. “What did you say p>

Felix’s gaze turned glacial.

“She would never do something as boundary–less as Summer p>

Silence fell heavy.

Evan felt like he was about to lose control.

Just then, the phone on the carpet began vibrating again.

Felix glanced at the screen.

“It’s your mother,” he said evenly. “I assume Summer’s threatening suicide again p>

Evan’s expression darkened further.

The calls he needed never came.

The ones he didn’t want wouldn’t stop.

Half an hour later, Evan arrived at the hospital.

Dora met him with a tight expression.

“Have you stopped her cards yet p>

The online heat was only intensifying.

It was obvious someone had poured serious money into boosting it.

“And what about Patrick?” she continued sharply. “Wasn’t he supposed to be capable? He can’t even handle something this small p>

If this continued, it wouldn’t just destroy Summer.

The entire Wright family would lose face.

“It’s being handled,” Evan said, pressing his fingers to his aching temple.

Every local account had been suppressed.

It was the overseas accounts that were impossible to control.

And that thought made his head pound.

Felix…

Stella acting out was one thing. 1

But why was Felix involved?

“This is what happens when you spoil her,” Dora snapped. “I told you from the beginning. A girl with no family, no background–you insisted on marrying her.

“Look how vicious she is now p>

The more she spoke, the angrier she became.

“In all my years, I’ve never seen someone so malicious. Choosing this exact moment–right after Summer gave birth to attack. ”

Her tone sharpened further.

“Your brother just passed away. Summer’s mental state has been fragile. And now this? How can you face your brother p>

Evan’s expression went cold.

“I’ve failed many people,” he said quietly. “The only one I haven’t failed is my brother p>

Dora faltered.

“You keep dragging me into Summer’s matters,” he continued, his voice turning harder. “My wife is very unhappy. You’ve all seen that p>

“Your wife?” Dora stared at him. “Aren’t you getting divorced p>

The divorce agreement had already been sent out.

The entire city knew.

And Stella had been the one to propose it.

The word divorce struck his nerves like a blade.

“Who said I’m divorcing her?” he said icily.
