Chapter 158

Behind the wall outside the door, Summer’s lips curved with quiet satisfaction when she heard Evan’s
words.
See?
He was finally fed up.
Stella, Stella.
A little drama might be normal between husband and wife, but she had no sense of when to stop.
A man like Evan, born with everything, was never going to waste endless patience coaxing one woman.
Satisfied, Summer shot a look at the caregiver behind her.
The caregiver immediately turned her wheelchair and pushed her away.
Inside the room-
Patrick was stunned when he heard Evan say Stella should stay in there for now, and that it was time she
learned a lesson.
A lesson?
Suffer a little?
“When Mrs. Wright gets out, she’ll only be angrier,” Patrick said carefully.
These past few days had already pushed Stella completely over the edge.
If Evan did not get her out right away, then once she came out, things could spiral even further.
“You’re wrong,” Evan said. “Out here, she’ll stay angry. In there, she can cool off.”
Patrick’s mouth twitched.
Cool off?
In a place like that?
Was that really a good idea?
୮
Stella was already going all out. Divorce, burning the house, poison, tearing Summer and her mother apart
And now he thought she could “cool off” in there?
Patrick stayed silent.
Evan closed his eyes. “Without me, what is she, really?” he let out a low scoff.
In that moment,
all he could see was Stella smiling as she fed him spoonful after spoonful of that bird’s nest
porridge.

Patrick hesitated, then asked, “Did Mrs. Wright really poison you?”
“No.”
Patrick: “…”
No?
Then what exactly was the point of leaving her in there to “cool off”?
Evan opened his eyes.
They were ice cold.
“But she definitely knew.”
Only now had it truly clicked for him.
That smile of hers had not been gentle at all.
It had been calculated.
Patrick did not know what to say.
Seeing that Evan had completely made up his mind not to bring Stella out, he thought for a moment and added, “If Mr. Hernandez finds out, he won’t stay out of it.”
Patrick could not understand it either.
Why Felix seemed to take such care of Stella.
He had never noticed it before.
But ever since Felix returned from overseas, especially over the past six months as things between Stella and Evan escalated, that strange protectiveness had only grown more obvious.
Especially with the Redcrest Valley project. Felix had been the one to hand Stella the evidence.
And now, because of that, Summer’s position in Wright Group had started to slip.
The board had been talking these past couple of days about removing her from her role as vice president.
At the mention of Felix, Evan’s expression darkened further.
“From now on, whatever Fiona and the others do, you don’t need to report it to me.”
Patrick: “…”
Fiona and Mrs. Wright?
He understood.
