Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

“Those are all things you built with your own hands,” Jennifer said quietly.

She was genuinely worried about Stella.

Ruby was notoriously ruthless. In Harbor City, countless small and mid-size companies wouldn’t dare cross her, terrified she’d cut off their supply chains or crush their contracts overnight.

Stella owned several private ventures. All of them were thriving.

If Rachel retaliated and destroyed them, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Stella squeezed Jennifer’s hand. “Don’t worry. I know exactly what I’m doing.”

Summer’s condition was serious.

Just treating the reopened incision kept her in emergency care for over an hour. Evan stayed by her side the entire time.

And sure enough, the moment she saw his face, her emotions slowly settled.

Dora sighed with emotion. “Right now, she can only calm down when she sees you.”

If Evan wasn’t there, Summer’s emotions could spiral at any moment.

Evan pressed his lips together.

Patrick stepped closer and whispered in his ear, “Everything’s been handled.”

Evan gave a slight nod.

He glanced at Summer, who had finally fallen asleep, then turned and walked out.

Dora panicked. “Where are you going now? If she wakes up and doesn’t see you, she’ll panic again.

“What happened today really scared her. She needs you even more right now.”

The moment she mentioned that, Evan stopped.

He turned back, his brow furrowing so deeply it looked painful.

“I think you’re forgetting something,” he said coldly.

“What?” Dora asked, her heart skipping.

“Summer is Steven’s wife,” Evan said. “And I am Stella’s husband.”

Dora froze.

Before she could respond, Evan had already left, his presence sharp and distant.

“…This is unbelievable,” she muttered.

“What does Stella even have that’s worth protecting this much?”

Summer slowly woke up, her voice weak. “Mom…”

“I’m here,” Dora said immediately. “How do you feel? Does it still hurt?”

Even the slightest movement sent pain through Summer’s abdomen.

She hadn’t expected Stella to be so reckless, so vicious. To actually attack a woman who had just given birth.

“I’m fine,” Summer whispered. “Where’s Steven? I just saw him. Where did he go?”

Dora’s heart sank.

Steven had died in a plane crash half a year ago. There were no remains.

But looking at Summer like this, Dora couldn’t bring herself to tell her the truth.

“He had to step out for something,” she said gently. “Once he’s done, he’ll come back to see you.’

As long as Summer stayed stable, nothing else mattered.

Summer nodded faintly. “I want to see him. I had a really bad nightmare.”

Her voice began to shake. “I dreamed he was covered in blood. Mom… Steven was covered in blood.”

“That was just a dream,” Dora said quickly, stroking her hair. “Just a dream.”

“I want to see him,” Summer sobbed. “Please…”

“All right,” Dora said hurriedly. “I’ll call him. I’ll have him come see you.”

As she reached for her phone, she didn’t see it.

The fleeting glint of satisfaction that flashed across Summer’s lowered eyes.

Back in Stella’s room.

Jennifer was peeling an apple when Stella’s phone buzzed.

A message came in.

From Summer.

[Evan should be at your place by now, right? This time he won’t stay for more than f minutes. Want to bet?]

Stella’s gaze darkened.

Jennifer noticed immediately. “Who is it?”

She leaned over and caught sight of the message.

Her face twisted. “That woman is shameless.”

Bold, brazen, and proud of it.

Before Stella could respond, Evan appeared at the doorway.

Jennifer stood up, snatched Stella’s phone, and walked straight toward him.

“Perfect timing,” she said coldly. “Why don’t you take a look at what your gentle, considerate sister-in-law has been sending your wife.”

“If she wants to provoke us, let her do it openly.”

“Let’s see if you still think she’s innocent after this.”
