Chapter 117
But when had it started?
When had Evan stopped being the man who used to go along with whatever they said back at the main house?
Now, he seemed especially repulsed by the name Steven.
Especially when Summer called him that.
His eyes were filled with disgust.
Just like now.
He looked at Summer coldly, revulsion plain on his face. “What this child needs is a strong, kind mother. Let’s hope my sister-in-law doesn’t start scheming again p>
Dora froze.
Summer froze too.
The word scheming clearly hit her hard. Her face stiffened. “Steven, how can you say that about me? Scheming? Me? Not kind? I p>
Before she could finish, Evan had already looked away from her.
He turned to the doctor instead. “Do everything you can for the baby p>
His coldness hit Summer like a knife to the chest.
It felt like something had been carved out of her heart.
She could barely breathe.
Dora was furious too.
All because of Stella.
Damn that woman. Since when had she gotten so good at making trouble?
What was even more infuriating was Evan. Stella had already pushed things this far, and not only was he refusing to divorce her, he was indulging her more than ever.
The director nodded. “Of course. We’ll do everything we can. It’s just p>
At that, he glanced at Summer awkwardly.
Clearly, the baby’s condition was far from optimistic.
And on top of that, the child was still so young.
“Save the baby,” Evan said.
He already knew what the director was trying to say. The child was too young.

So what?
Wasn’t keeping the baby alive exactly what they had insisted on from the beginning?
If anything happened to the child, there was no telling what kind of chaos Summer and Dora would stir up
next.
Furthermore, the Wright family did not lack money.
So save the baby.
As for what extreme situations might come up during that process, he did not care.
“From now on, don’t call me about the baby unless it’s one thing,” Evan said coldly. “Save the baby. Understood p>
Every word was icy.
The director hesitated for a second, then nodded. “Understood p>
Summer looked stunned by his attitude. “Steven… what do you mean by that p>
The word save did not sound wrong.
But why did his tone sound so cold?
Evan did not even spare her another glance.
That icy indifference made Summer feel even more suffocated. “Mom p>
Dora could also tell something was off in Evan’s attitude.
But she could not quite put her finger on what it was.
Before anyone could say anything else, Evan’s phone vibrated.
He pulled it out and saw that it was Marianne from Inkwood House.
The moment Dora saw the name, her face darkened. “At a time like this, Stella still won’t stop, huh? The second you step away, she has to call you p>
If it was Marianne calling, then it had to be about Stella.
Dora sounded openly annoyed.
Evan shot her a cold glance and ignored her.

Given everything that had happened at Inkwood House that morning, he answered anyway.
“Marianne p>
The moment the call connected, Marianne’s panicked voice came through.
“Sir, something terrible happened. Inkwood House is on fire. The fire’s huge. Please come back now p>
Evan froze.

Summer and Dora both froze too.
Inkwood House was on fire too?
Ruby’s mansion had burned down just last night, and now Inkwood House was on fire today?
Was it really just a coincidence?
Or was it something else?
