Summer was thrilled inside.
But on the surface, she still put on a gentle, hesitant expression. “Actually, maybe we shouldn’t p>
“You are not allowed to speak up for her again p>
Dora cut her off immediately.
Even though the Summers were clearly starting to crumble, Dora still felt she should treat Summer well.
This eldest daughter-in-law might have been raised by a fierce woman like Ruby, but she was obedient.
Gentle.
As long as she stopped harboring thoughts about Evan, Dora was willing to be good to her.
Summer lowered her gaze. “I’m just worried about Steven p>
The moment she heard Steven’s name, Dora’s face hardened.
She pulled her hand away. “Summer, you need to accept reality about Steven p>
Summer: p>
She looked at her now-empty hand, then back at Dora.
Dora’s expression was stern. “Even if things completely fall apart between Evan and Stella this time, given
the way things look in Harbor City now, you and Evan will never happen p>
Before, she had been willing to support Summer being with Evan for two reasons.
First, because Ruby’s business overseas had been strong.
Second, because no one in Harbor City knew Evan was already married.
But now?
Everyone knew.
And Summer had been nailed to the label of a home wrecker.
r
With that alone, there was no way Dora would ever agree to it again.
Summer had just been secretly pleased that Stella wouldn’t be getting out.
Now, because of Evan, her expression darkened again.
Dora added coldly, “But one thing we should all be happy about is that Stella won’t be walking out alive this time p>
Summer: p>
Right.
As long as Stella died in there, there would still be a chance for her and Evan.

She didn’t need to rush.
She lowered her voice, feigning unease. She… really won’t make it out alive p>
After all, Evan had always protected Stella.
No matter what trouble she caused, he forgave her.
Would this really be enough?
“Of course she won’t,” Dora said with certainty. “She tried to poison Evan. No man, no matter how forgiving, would keep a woman like that by his side p>
Hearing that, Summer finally felt at ease.
As long as Stella died, there would always be a way forward.
If she came back…
Then everything would truly be over.
To be absolutely certain, Dora decided to call Fiona again and tell her to act faster. More decisively.
But just as she dialed, Fiona walked into the room.
The moment Dora saw her pale, shaken face, she assumed it was because of what Felix had done to her
earlier.
“There’s still a chance with Felix,” Dora said. “Right now, the priority is getting rid of Stella.
“The way he humiliated you because of her… we don’t need to show her any mercy anymore p>
Dora spoke through clenched teeth, trying to comfort her at the same time.
But Fiona looked like she was about to lose it.
“Mercy? Do you think she needs us to show her mercy? She’s got plenty of people protecting her now p>
Evan and Felix.
They didn’t even have a chance to touch her anymore.
Dora frowned. “What do you mean p>
r
“It means she was never locked up in the first place! Felix picked her up halfway yesterday p>
Fiona snapped, her voice trembling with anger.
Summer and Dora both froze.
