Chapter 388
Stella was truly ruthless this time.
She had trapped them so tightly that aside from the Wright family’s old estate, they had nowhere else to go.
And right now, the old estate felt like hell to them.
Summer only felt that what Stella had done was cruel and disgusting.
She had completely forgotten how they had treated Stella before.
All Stella was doing now was paying it back to them, with interest.
Dora had gone to bed very late last night, but she woke up early.
By the time Stella came downstairs, Dora was already helping out below.
Seeing how diligent she looked, Stella smiled knowingly.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Gray stepped forward and whispered a few words in Stella’s ear.
The smile at the corner of Stella’s mouth deepened.
Then she said quietly, “They really never learn, do they? Looks like the previous lesson still wasn’t enough p>
Gray’s expression darkened as he glanced in Dora’s direction.
Dora had been unusually hardworking this morning.
She had gone to bed so late the night before, yet she had woken up earlier than everyone else.
By the time Stella’s people came downstairs, she had even washed all the vegetables in the kitchen.
When something was this unusual, there was always a reason.
They understood that perfectly well.
Even if Dora had shown no strange behavior, they would still have guarded against her.
And now that she was acting strange, all the more so.
When Dora saw Stella come downstairs, she quickly brought her a glass of milk.
“I warmed it just now. The temperature is perfect p>
Stella raised an eyebrow and glanced at Dora. “Didn’t you go to sleep quite late last night? Why are you up so early p>
As she spoke, a smile stayed on her lips.
Seeing that smile made Dora’s chest ache with anger.
At a time like this, Stella was the only one who could still smile.
How did she even have the nerve?

She had tormented all of them to this state.
But Dora forced all her anger down.
When Stella asked, she only said, “I wanted breakfast p>
At that, Stella’s brows shifted slightly.
The smile on her lips deepened.
As far as excuses went, it made sense.
After all, they had been hungry for two days. The little food they received last night had not been enough to fill them up.
But still…
Stella did not believe Dora would lower her head just for food.
Soon, breakfast was brought to the table.
Dora handed Stella a pair of utensils. “I’ve finished my work.
“All right. Eat p>
Dora froze. “What p>
“Sit down and eat p>
Stella repeated it.
The moment Dora heard the words “sit down and eat,” her expression changed.
Then, bit by bit, her face turned pale.
Seeing that Dora did not move, Stella raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you want breakfast? You worked hard all morning. Sit down and have something hot p>
Stella’s tone was clearly so gentle.
But to Dora, she sounded vicious.
She knew, didn’t she?
No.
That could not be right.

Dora had gone to the tool shed by the greenhouse very late last night. Stella could not possibly know.
By then, all of Stella’s people had already gone to rest.
The only ones still awake were the bodyguards stationed outside Stella’s door.
Dora was terribly worried.
Still, she forced herself to stay calm. “No need. How could I possibly deserve to eat with you now p>

With that, she turned to leave.
Her pace was so quick it was almost like she was fleeing.
Stella watched her back, the smile on her lips growing wider.
“Gray p>
“Yes, miss p>
Stella said, “Go call Fiona, Evan, and Summer down for breakfast p>
Dora froze.
Her breath shot straight to her throat.
Stella said, “A family should eat together, shouldn’t they? After all, the Wright family has always presented itself as very united to outsiders p>
