Chapter 142
After Stella finished eating, Evan immediately moved to take her away.
But just then, Summer wheeled herself out.
“Stella, wait.”
Stella stopped and looked at her, her gaze cool and distant.
That look made Summer uneasy, but she had no choice right now.
If her mother had sent Alex to find Stella, then something serious must have gone wrong with her overseas
business.
Otherwise, a woman as proud as Ruby would never have lowered her head.
Summer was afraid that once Stella left, Alex would not be able to find her again.
So she had to stall her.
Stella looked at her. “What?”
“Can I talk to you?”
She wanted to buy time.
Stella lifted her eyes slightly, and the look she gave her turned even colder, enough to make anyone’s heart tighten.
Evan’s expression darkened too. “There’s nothing for the two of you to talk about.”
With that, he took Stella’s hand and started to leave.
For the past six months, Summer had been hiding behind her so-called depression.
Even when she was married to Steven, she had always played the role of the perfect sister-in-law.
But Evan was never the kind of man who cared whether someone was good or bad.
Stella and Summer had long since stopped getting along.
And now Summer suddenly wanted to talk?
Who knew what she planned to say to Stella?
Stella was already hard enough to handle as it was,

At this point, Evan was not about to let anyone in that family make things worse between him and Stella.
But just as he turned with Stella in tow, Summer spoke again from behind them.
“My mom was only trying to protect me. If she offended you because of that, could you please go easy on her?”
Stella and Evan both went still.
ג.

Evan’s face darkened even more.
What happened yesterday at Inkwood House flashed through his mind.
An offense?
Was that all she called it?
The coldness around him sharpened.
Before he could say anything, Stella turned back to Summer.
“If I make you lose half the blood in your body, will you go easy on me too?”
Summer froze.
Her whole face went stiff.
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but when she met Stella’s sharp eyes, not a single word
came out.
Seeing that Summer had gone silent, Stella let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
Then Summer’s voice rose again.
“Take it out on me if you want, but please don’t go after my mother!”
This time, Summer was truly panicking.
Her mother’s overseas business could not be damaged.
If that line of business was really cut off, her position in the Wright family would collapse too.
She knew very well that Dora treated her so well only because her mother was a wealthy businesswoman.
And that status depended entirely on her export business overseas.
If all of that was cut off, then Summer would become nothing in the Wright family.
