That only made Fiona explode even more. “Did you hear that, Evan? I’m not the one targeting her. If she stays here, she’s going to be the one who drives Mom to her grave.”
Evan glanced at Stella.
Stella did not even spare Fiona a look, but the lazy way she inspected her nails was brazen enough.
And that same carelessness sent a very clear message.
She was not joking.
Evan felt like his head was about to split open from all the noise.
Summer, who had been silent until now, finally turned to Stella. “Stella, no matter what, Mom’s in really bad shape today. As the younger ones, we should show some respect.”
Inside, she hated Stella so much she could barely stand it.
But on the surface, she still put on the act of a gracious sister-in-law.
She wanted Evan to see the contrast clearly. Her composure against Stella’s sharp edges. Which of them was truly fit to be the lady of the Wright family.
Stella let out a cold laugh. “She’s not the one making your life miserable, so of course you can afford to play
nice.”
“You…”
“Oh, please. Then stop threatening everyone by jumping off buildings and into rivers every time I go after you.”
Over the past few days, Summer had certainly made enough of a spectacle.
Jumping into the river. Threatening to jump off a roof. Pretending her depression was acting up. She had used every trick she had.
And every time she “got sick,” everyone expected Stella not to upset her.
Summer’s face stiffened at Stella’s words.

Stella went on, “So I’m the one in the wrong for speaking up after you’ve been walking all over me? Why don’t you be the one to suck it up for once? Or am I just supposed to keep taking it while you keep stepping all over me?”
“I didn’t-”
“You didn’t?” Stella cut her off. “Then why were so many of the things Evan gave me under your name?”
Summer: “…”
She regretted opening her mouth.
Now that Stella had Felix backing her, she had become a total madwoman. She would go
for anyone.

Seelug Stella push Sumtner like that, Fiona was afraid Summer might have another episode right there.
She immediately jumped in. “That’s enough, Stella. The things you’ve done are enough to drive someone to death. Is my sister-in-law not even allowed to react?”
Slap!
The instant she finished, Evan backhanded her across the face.
The air went still.
Fiona clutched her cheek in shock, staring at Evan with her pupils tightened. She looked completely lost.
“Evan, you…”
Seeing him hit Fiona, Summer was startled too. “Steven, what are you doing?”
Evan looked at Fiona with icy eyes. “She’s your sister-in-law. Remember that.”
Fiona and Summer both froze.
Stella raised a brow and gave Fiona a meaningful look.
And when Fiona looked back at her, her eyes were full of hatred.
