Chapter 508
Giving Stella all their money, houses, and company was impossible.
No matter how badly Stella tortured them, Dora and Evan would never agree to it.
That night, everyone suffered.
There was no chance the heat or hot water would be turned back on. Gray even said that starting tomorrow, they. would have to live in the basement. The upstairs rooms would no longer be available to them.
Dora was so furious that her blood pressure spiked on the spot, and she fainted.
That night, the room was truly freezing.
Summer had been in bed for two hours, but she still had not managed to warm herself up at all.
Her blanket was too thin.
Before, she had disliked thick blankets, thinking they were too heavy. Now, she regretted not keeping a thicker one on the bed.
Mrs. Mendes was also too cold to sleep.
Summer, who had looked down on Mrs. Mendes’s suggestion earlier, finally said, “Come sleep on the bed p>
She truly could not take it anymore.
Mrs. Mendes said nothing. She picked up her blanket and climbed straight into the bed.
This was not the time to be stubborn. This kind of cold really could freeze a person to death.
She quickly spread her blanket over Summer’s, then crawled under the covers as well.
It was cold.
Truly cold.
Even leaving a hand outside the blanket made the chill feel bone-deep.
Summer disliked the smell on Mrs. Mendes.
Mrs. Mendes, in turn, disliked the smell on Summer. After all, Summer had spent most of the day in the animal enclosure.
Because there was only cold water, Summer had not dared to wash up. It was far too cold.
Dora and Fiona’s room was no better.
None of them had expected Stella to suddenly use this move,
Compared to Summer and Mrs. Mendes, Dora and Fiona naturally huddled together.
Even so, the temperature still made them miserable.
Fiona said, “Mom, I’m so cold p>
“That bitch. One day, I’ll kill her p>
After being tormented like this by Stella, Dora was so furious that she wished she could kill Stella right now.

Fiona said nothing.
Kill Stella?
She wanted to as well.
She wanted to tear Stella apart.
The room was freezing, and the bed would not warm up at all. Even with two blankets, they were still cold.
Especially while trying to sleep, the cold seemed to seep straight into their foreheads p>
None of them slept the entire night.
The next morning, they got up early.
Stella was having breakfast in the dining room.
Dora, Fiona, and Summer all came downstairs because the lower floor was warm.
Dora said, “Will you only be happy when we’re dead p>
After being kept awake by the cold all night, Dora was on the verge of breaking down.
Stella paused slightly with her utensils in hand.
“No,” she said. “If you died that easily, I wouldn’t be happy p>
If Dora’s death alone could make her happy, Stella would not have gone through so much trouble to torment them.
The reason she was doing all this was to make them live in misery.
So Dora could not die that easily.
Dora fell silent.
Looking at the smile in Stella’s eyes, she finally understood what it meant to hide a snake’s heart behind a gentle face.
Stella’s smile was so soft.
So warm.
Yet the things she did were vicious to the extreme.
Stella said, “You have to live a life worse than death p>
Dora’s face twisted. “You p>
A life worse than death?
That was exactly what this had become.
Before, Stella had only tormented them mentally and physically.
Now, she was tormenting both body and soul.
They could not eat well.
They could not sleep well.

The work was exhausting.
For them, how was this anything but a life worse than death?
Dora took a deep breath. “What exactly will it take for you to let us go? Say it p>
At this moment, Dora was almost ready to compromise.
It had only been one night, but every minute and every second of last night had been pure torture for her.
