Chapter 160
The faint impatience in Dora’s voice was slight, but Summer still caught it.
She froze for a second.
Then when she turned back, her eyes were already full of tears. “Mom…”
That choked-up voice made Dora’s chest tighten
Tears rolled down Summer’s face one after another. “Stella’s reach has even gotten into Wright Group.’
“These past few days, the board has been talking about removing me from the vice president position, and it’s because of her.”
Dora’s face changed. “What?”
She was stunned.
That girl from an orphanage had that kind of reach now? She could even meddle in Wright Group?
“That’s impossible. She’s not capable of that.”
The moment she thought about Stella’s background, Dora dismissed it without hesitation.
After marrying Evan, Stella had stayed home as a useless housewife.
She had no ability to speak of. How could she possibly reach into Wright Group?
Even if someone handed her the chance, she would not have the skill.
Summer sniffed, looking aggrieved. “She told me herself just now.”
“She called you?”
Summer said nothing. She just kept crying.
Seeing her like that only made Dora more irritated. At the same time, she was afraid Summer would spiral again and do something extreme.

Especially now, with Ruby’s overseas business in that kind of crisis.
There was even talk of massive breach-of-contract penalties.
And at a time like this, Summer was still making such a scene.
Without meaning to, Dora felt her patience thinning even more.
“Summer, your mother’s probably in deep trouble overseas right now. You need to be stronger.
This time, Dora’s tone was clearly more serious.
Summer’s breathing faltered.
Her mother’s problems overseas were not even resolved yet, and Dora was already-
Summer looked at her. “Mom, I miss Steven.”

Dora.”…
The moment she heard that again, her head started pounding.
For the past six months, every time Summer had an episode, she said she wanted Steven.
And Ruby had kept hinting that she hoped Summer could stay with Evan instead.
Back then, Ruby’s business overseas had been thriving.
After all, Summer was her only daughter.
Whatever Ruby had gained from the Wright family before, once she secured her business, everything would eventually go to Summer.
And that would still be an advantage for the Wright family.
But now…
The situation overseas had blown up this badly, and no one knew whether it could still be resolved.
If it could not-
Then there was no way Dora would keep supporting anything between Summer and Evan.
After countless thoughts ran through her mind, Dora finally spoke, her tone stern.
“It’s been six months, Summer. It’s time you got stronger.
Summer: “”
Fiona: “…”
Both of them stared at Dora in disbelief.
The seriousness in Dora’s eyes only deepened, and her tone grew heavier.
“You’re a mother of two now. Some things can’t keep revolving around your moods. Do you understand?”
Summer: “…”
Can’t keep revolving around her moods?
So that was what Dora meant?
That her grief over Steven was just an act, and she could not keep pretending anymore?
Before, Dora had supported her staying with Evan.
