At the café, Felix studied Stella’s face, a satisfied smile tugging at his mouth. “Looks like you’ve been taking good care of yourself these past few days. You look much better p>
“I had the supplements Jennifer brought over prepared for me p>
The entire Wright family might have been in chaos these past few days, but Stella had treated herself very well.
They couldn’t get food, but she ate plenty.
After all, the people cooking for her were the ones she had brought in herself.
She had no reason to worry.
Hearing that she had eaten all the supplements he sent, the smile on Felix’s lips deepened.
He handed a document envelope to Stella.
“What is this?” she asked.
“All the evidence. If you’ve had enough fun, you can send Dora in now. This is enough to keep her behind bars for the rest of her life. It may even be enough for the death penalty p>
“This much p>
Stella was shocked.
Because Gray was Aaron Hogarth’s man, she hadn’t dared ask Gray to investigate her mother’s death.
So she had asked Felix for help instead.
Felix said, “Your mother was only one of the victims p>
Stella fell silent.
At that, a faint but unmistakable anger flickered through her chest.
In her mind, she suddenly saw the old image of Dora being gentle with Summer.
Dora had never treated Stella well.
Before, Stella had always thought it was simply because Dora looked down on her background.
But Dora could smile so warmly and lovingly at someone she considered her equal. Stella had once thought that meant Dora wasn’t truly evil.
After learning that her mother’s death had something to do with Dora, everything Stella had believed about that woman had been overturned.
And now, hearing Felix say her mother was only one of the victims, Stella felt the full depth of Dora’s cruelty.
She opened the envelope.

Inside was a thick stack of evidence against Dora.
As Stella flipped through, Felix lifted his coffee and said, “The last file is Fiona’s p>
“Fiona?” Stella looked up. “What did she do p>
Felix said, “Back in school, she was a bully. During her junior year of college, a girl’s death was connected to her p>
Stella went quiet.
Of course.
Fiona Wright.
Ever since Stella had met her through Evan, she had always known Fiona was no decent person.
You could see it in those calculating eyes of hers.
“Like mother, like daughter,” Stella said, her grip tightening around the documents.
Then she asked, “Is there anything more on Summer and Frank Holland p>
Gray had also been investigating Summer and Frank.
But Gray had come from Eirden. There might be things in Harbor City that he missed.
Felix said, “Give it another two days. There are still a few leads that haven’t been fully confirmed p>
Stella nodded.
No matter how Summer felt about Evan or Ethan, the real reason she had entered the Wright family was to work with Frank from the inside.
“I want to know whether Ruby knew about any of this p>
Felix nodded. “We’re confirming that too p>
Now that a crack had opened, it didn’t matter how deeply everything had been buried.
This time, they were going to rip it all open.
“Thank you for everything these past few days,” Stella said sincerely.
r
Wright Corporation’s overseas businesses had been completely cut off now, and its operations in Harbor City were on the verge of collapse too.
As for Ruby, she would not survive this crisis either.
Felix said, “You’ve shown Evan mercy p>
Stella fell silent.
Had she?
If Aaron Hogarth found out the truth about her mother’s death, then things would not be like this.
They would be far more extreme.
Everyone involved would have to die.
Stella didn’t respond. She simply lifted her coffee and took a sip.
