At that, his eyes snapped open
When he looked at Dora again, his gaze was all ice.
The look on his face made Dora’s chest tighten even more. “The most I can promise is that I won’t pull any strings to make things harder for her once she’s inside p>
That was already the biggest concession she could make.
She hated Stella too much.
It was not just because of the baby’s death. More than that, it was the deep-rooted conflict that had always existed because she had never truly respected Stella from the start.
Evan kept staring at her coldly without moving.
“All right,” Dora said. “I’ll keep an eye on Summer and Fiona too. Is that enough p>
Seeing that he still could not let go of Stella even now made Dora feel even more suffocated.
Forget it. Let them get divorced first. Everything else could wait until after that.
She picked up the pen on the desk and handed it to him. “Sign it. Hmm p>
It was time for everything to end.
The relationship between Evan and Stella was like a mirror. Cracks had already formed in it long ago.
Now, with Steven’s daughter dead, that already fractured mirror shattered completely.
Just as Stella and Jennifer had settled into bed, her phone buzzed.
Dora had sent her a message: ‘Go straight to the hospital front desk tomorrow and pick up the divorce papers. It’s over between you and Evan p>
The moment Stella read it, the tension in her whole body finally melted away in the dim foom. Even the
smile at her lips seemed brighter.
Jennifer looked at her. “What are you smiling about p>
“Evan signed the divorce papers p>
Jennifer froze for a second.
Then she curled her lip. “So Summer really does matter more than anything else p>
He had refused to divorce her no matter what before. Now one baby was dead, and suddenly he agreed.
She really did not know what to say about Evan anymore.
“She knows how to put on a show,” Stella said.
If anyone really mattered that much, it was probably Steven,

Steven had died and left behind Sumtner and the baby in her womb, and that had made Evan feel as if he was wholly responsible for that unborn child.
“Whatever matters most to him, any woman who gets tangled up with him is just unlucky,” Jennifer said.
The baby was one thing.
But the whole situation with his widowed sister-in-law was a mess too. What kind of insanity was that?
“This isn’t a divorce. This is you escaping hell. It’s basically your prison release p>
Jennifer kept tearing into the Wright family.
With all of Summer’s fake tears and manipulation these past six months, Stella’s life in that family really had felt like serving time.
Then something occurred to her.
Seeing Stella stay quiet while typing a message to someone, she went on, “Summer probably thinks once you divorce Evan, she’ll have a chance. It’s disgusting p>
“The rumors in Harbor City have already made the two of them look sick enough, and she’s still dreaming p>
“Enough about her,” Stella said. “It’s over p>
She had become completely clearheaded about the relationship. Now that Evan had signed the divorce papers, she felt lighter than ever.
In her good mood, she immediately texted her brother Aaron the news.
After hearing it, Aaron replied: ‘I have a gift for your new beginning p>
‘What is it p>
A divorce gift too?
That was an unexpected bonus. She had not thought ending a marriage would come with presents.
Aaron replied: ‘It’s a secret p>
Stella was speechless.
Downstairs, Gray got a call from Aaron. He heard Aaron say coldly on the other end, “Don’t hold back with Wright Group anymore. As for everyone involved p>
When Aaron said ‘everyone involved’, his tone turned especially ruthless.
