And then there was the Redcrest Valley project.
He had personally put that under Summer’s name too.
“Evan, every wrong you’ve committed in this marriage, every single one, is unforgivable p>
What he himself had done was already unforgivable.
Never mind everything that had happened with his family.
And now he actually had the nerve to ask why she had never told him.
Hearing him say something like that really did feel like hearing the biggest joke in the world.
Evan’s breathing turned ragged. “So in your eyes, I’m really that unforgivable p>
“Yes p>
Stella nodded, then added, “So let’s get divorced p>
“Stop saying that p>
Divorce. Divorce. Divorce.
These past few days, those two words had already pushed Evan close to the edge. The last thing he wanted now was to keep talking about it.
“I’m not divorcing you. Stop thinking about it p>
Then, thinking of the fires at Inkwood House and Ruby’s mansion at Bay International, he added, “Even if you burn the entire Wright family to the ground, you’re still not getting a divorce p>
His tone was absolute.
He was making one thing very clear. She could use whatever method she wanted to force him, but even if the whole Wright family went up in flames, it would not matter.
He was not divorcing her.
Stella’s expression went completely cold.

There was no question that whether it was Ruby’s place at Bay International or Inkwood House yesterday, part of her had used those fires to push Evan toward divorce.
But hearing him say that now…
The faint smile at the corner of Stella’s lips disappeared entirely. “What exactly will it take for you to agree to a divorce p>
“When we got married, I told you I would never divorce you p>
Again with the marriage vows.
Stella was so angry she stopped talking altogether.

After Inkwood House burned down yesterday, Evan brought Stella to the estate on Mount Lara.
Because it sat at the top of the mountain, getting into the city was inconvenient, which was why he had bought Inkwood House in the first place.
Now, he almost regretted not moving to Mount Lara sooner.
It was far from the Wright family estate too.
Even if Dora wanted to make trouble for Stella, she probably would not have the energy to keep running all the way up the mountain.
Evan pulled Stella out of the car.
“Let go of me p>
“You’ll stay at Mount Lara for now. If it’s too inconvenient, then pick an area in the city you like, and I’ll buy you another place p>
He emphasized the words ‘buy you another place’, as if trying to make it clear that everything he had bought before had been meant for her too.
Too bad she had not managed to keep any of it.
Stella caught the meaning in his words, and deliberately stabbed him right where it hurt.
“Have you gotten all of it back yet p>
All of it.
Everything he had said he would take back for her, no matter who had stolen it.
Evan said, “Everything except what Grandma has p>
Anything taken from Stella by anyone else had already been returned.
Stella looked at him. “And how long am I supposed to wait for that p>
୮
Evan fell silent.
How long?
He had a feeling that whatever was in his grandmother’s hands was never coming back.
She had called him that morning and torn into him for a long time.
Seeing that he said nothing, Stella let out a cold laugh. “Don’t tell me that because she’s the highest- ranking elder in the family, I’m supposed to just put up with it p>
“No. Of course not p>
Put up with it was never what he wanted from her.
Evan stepped forward and pulled Stella into his arms, rubbing her head with a tenderness that felt almost indulgent.
He was tall enough that even though Stella was not short, in his arms she still seemed small.
