Chapter 532
Evan really wanted to say, ‘I can’t p>
He truly could not do anything to Stella now.
If he had even the slightest way to deal with her, he would not have been reduced to such a humiliating
state.
He had seriously underestimated that seemingly delicate woman before.
“Just wait for now. I’m handling it,” Evan said, nearly suffocating on the words.
Although he had always been ruthless in business over the years, he still could not bring himself to be cruel to his own grandmother.
After all, this might actually involve Old Mrs. Wright being left stranded on the street.
He hung up on his grandmother and called Lucas.
Although the Carter family had pulled out of many cooperative projects with Wright Group during this period, one matter was still separate from another.
Half an hour later, Lucas and Evan met directly in Evan’s office at Wright Group.
Evan had originally wanted to meet at the café downstairs, but now he was not allowed into any place that required spending money.
One had to admit, Stella’s methods this time were truly forceful.
It had only been a few days since Lucas had last seen Evan, but Evan had visibly lost a lot of weight.
It was clear that Stella had tormented him badly.
Evan took a drag from his cigarette.
Seeing that he said nothing, Lucas asked, “You still haven’t divorced her p>
“She agreed to divorce p>
“That’s a good thing p>
She had finally agreed to divorce him.
If this divorce dragged on any longer, everyone in the Wright family might really be tortured down to nothing but ashes.
The current Stella was no ordinary kind of ruthless.
And with Aaron behind her…
Thinking of Stella and Aaron, Lucas felt deeply uncomfortable meeting Evan now.

Although when they parted that day, Stella had said they could still be friends, Lucas knew exactly how careful he had to be with that friendship now.
If he kept openly helping Evan, the entire Carter family could go down with him.
He had to admit, that woman was terrifyingly ruthless now.
When Evan heard Lucas say it was a good thing, he took another irritated drag from his cigarette.
“She wants everything from the Wright family. Is that still a good thing p>
Lucas fell silent.
That was definitely not a good thing.
Everything from the Wright family.
All of their money.
The old estate.
Wright Group.
Lucas said, “Then you have only yourself to blame p>
Evan froze.
At those words, his face darkened uncontrollably.
Blame him?
Now everyone was blaming him.
“I blame myself too,” Evan said. “I shouldn’t have married her in the first place p>
If he had known Stella was this ruthless, he never would have married her.
If he had not married her, none of this would be happening today.
Lucas was silent.
Hearing Evan say that, he suddenly did not know how to respond.
He should not have married Stella?
“Wasn’t the real trigger your involvement with Summer p>
Evan said nothing.
Him and Summer?
When Lucas mentioned Summer, a cold glint flashed through Evan’s eyes.

Summer.
Frank.
Those two names were something none of them had ever imagined would be connected.
“I need you to do me a favor p>
At this point, Evan did not want to say anything else.
He just wanted to quickly resolve his grandmother’s situation at the care facility.
Hearing the word favor, Lucas’s temple throbbed hard.
“What… what favor p>
Honestly, he was a little afraid to help him now.
If he had known Evan was going to ask for help at a time like this, Lucas would not have come at all.
It felt disrespectful to their brotherhood to think that way.
But he really was wary of Stella now.
After all, she had the entire Hogarth Group behind her.
With that kind of connection, who wouldn’t be afraid?
Evan said, “Stella had Grandma kicked out of the care facility. Now Grandma can’t spend any money either. She can’t even buy a plane ticket back p>
Lucas fell silent.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Kicked out of the care facility, and now she could not even buy a plane ticket back?
