Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Evan and Stella got into a full-blown argument in the hospital room.

No matter what he demanded, she refused to back down about suing Summer.

Jennifer had been standing outside the room the whole time. When she heard Evan say, “She fell last night. Her incision split open. She lost a lot of blood-”

That was it. Jennifer finally snapped and stormed in.

“Evan, are you out of your mind?” she shouted. “Did Stella commit some unforgivable crime by marrying you? Is that why you torture her like this?

“You say Summer’s name every other sentence. Do you even know Stella had massive bleeding last night too?”

Jennifer was furious beyond words.

She had never seen someone side with an outsider this hard.

Summer falling and reopening her incision was her own fault.

When Evan had started to run toward Stella, Summer had literally risked her life to stop him.

Jennifer stared straight into Evan’s dangerous glare, completely unafraid.

“Your own wife lost-”

“Jennifer.”

Stella cut her off before she could finish.

Jennifer turned to Stella. Stella gave her a small shake of the head.

Jennifer took a breath and nodded.

“Fine. If you’re that determined to side with her, then hurry up and divorce Stella. Go be tied to that woman for the rest of your life.”

She was shaking with anger.

And of course, Evan chose that moment to respond.

“So you were going to say she miscarried too?”

The room went dead silent.

Jennifer froze.

Stella froze.

Evan’s gaze shifted directly to Stella.

“You tell me,” he said calmly. “Did you miscarry?”

Stella’s eyes went ice-cold. She didn’t answer. She just looked at him.

Evan suddenly smiled. It was an odd, unsettling smile.

Then he turned and walked out.

The door slammed shut.

Jennifer stared at the door, then at Stella.

“What the hell was that attitude?” she exploded. “He’s basically saying you faked it. God, even if she were pretending, he’s blind not to see-”

She couldn’t finish. She started pacing in circles instead.

Stella spoke quietly.

“I told you already. He didn’t believe I was pregnant in the first place. Why would he believe I miscarried?

“Anything you say now just sounds like an excuse to him,” she continued, “a reason to keep him here and away from Summer.”

That was the reality of their marriage now.

He didn’t believe her pregnancy.

She didn’t believe there was nothing between him and Summer.

Jennifer scoffed.

“You’re divorcing him anyway. Who cares about convincing him to stay?”

Stella let out a breath.

“Maybe he never thought I’d actually leave.”

Jennifer fell silent.

And honestly, she knew Stella was right.

The entire Wright family believed Stella had come from nothing.

Marrying Evan was supposed to be her once-in-a-lifetime social climb.

In their eyes, she had no family, no backing, no way out.

Even Evan believed she wouldn’t dare leave.

The divorce talk was just a tantrum. Nothing more.

Stella’s phone buzzed.

A message from Summer.

[Evan came. You lost again.]

Stella’s gaze darkened.

Jennifer saw it too.

“Wait.”

She snatched the phone from Stella’s hand and immediately took a screenshot.

“What are you doing?” Stella asked.

“Saving evidence,” Jennifer said flatly.

Sure enough, the message was instantly retracted.

Summer had only given her just enough time to read it.

Jennifer clicked her tongue.

“She’s really scared of Evan seeing who she really is, huh?”

She shoved the phone back into Stella’s hand.

“You can reply now.”

Stella looked at her.

“She’s afraid. You’re not,” Jennifer said. “Right?”

Stella let out a short laugh.

She typed back.

[Didn’t it already pass five minutes? Guess you didn’t win completely either.]

Maybe the man was already lost.

But she wasn’t about to lose ground to the mistress.

Summer replied almost instantly.

[It was only six minutes. You’re proud of that? How pathetic.]

“Screenshot it,” Jennifer said immediately.

Stella did.

The second the screenshot was taken, the message vanished again.

Then two more messages came through.

[You’re clinging to trash and acting proud of it.]

[Don’t worry. You’ll be even more miserable than me soon.]

No more messages followed.

Chapter 17

Jennifer glanced at Stella.

“She’s probably with Evan now.”

Then she softened a little.

“Stella, what are you planning to do next?”

She wasn’t prying. She was worried.

Summer had the entire Wright family behind her, plus a powerful mother.

From Jennifer’s point of view, the Redcrest Valley lawsuit looked like a pointless move.
