Chapter 185
Richard was the old matriarch’s longtime manservant. He had looked after her for years.
The two of them were practically inseparable, and he was especially favored by her.
She had seen him just that morning.
And now…
Evan said, “A dog that keeps feeding its master bad ideas doesn’t get to stay.”
“You’ve lost your mind, Evan! Richard has been with me for years. You suddenly lay a hand on him now. What exactly are you trying to warn me about?”
Old Mrs. Wright was usually calm and composed, but this time, she lost control completely.
The car window was half open.
Evan lit a cigarette, took a drag, then said into the phone, “Good. I’m glad you understand it’s a warning. I’d hate for you to miss the point.”
“You… you…”
Before she could finish, Evan hung up.
Crazy.
He was completely crazy.
That was exactly how Stella saw him now. A full-blown madman.
That was his grandmother, and he could just say he’d gotten rid of her man as if it were nothing.
Evan exhaled a cloud of smoke, then looked at Stella. “Well? Does that count as revenge for you?”
There was a smile in his eyes now.
He was different today.
Maybe it was because of that bowl of porridge yesterday.

She had known it was poisoned, and she had still fed it to him. That overturned everything he thought he knew about her.
He had always believed Stella loved him deeply.
Even now, with divorce hanging over them, he had told himself it was only because she could not take the humiliation from his family anymore.
But the moment she fed that poisoned porridge into his mouth, something changed.
Facing this version of Evan, a man who seemed made entirely of madness, Stella let out a faint smile.
“Killing Richard means what, exactly? He wasn’t the one who gave the order to poison me. Your grandmother gave the order. Kill her, and then maybe that counts as revenge.”

He wanted to go crazy?
Fine.
Then they could all go crazy together.
Up front, Patrick felt sweat break out down his back.
She used to be so gentle.
But now?
She was every bit as unhinged as Evan.
Evan’s face darkened. “You want me to kill my grandmother? You really do dare to say anything.”
Stella said coldly, “Then don’t talk to me about revenge.”
Evan: “…”
“Calling it revenge is ridiculous. All you did was find someone to take the blame.”
Getting rid of Richard was a direct blow to Old Mrs. Wright.
But as far as Stella was concerned, it did nothing for her.
Evan was furious again.
The car pulled into Mount Lara.
He got out first, then turned back and saw Stella still sitting there with no intention of getting out.
At the end of his rope, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her out.
Stella glared at him viciously.
Evan hooked her under one arm and carried her inside. She struggled nonstop.
But the harder she fought, the worse it got.
In the end, he threw her over his shoulder instead.
Pain shot through her abdomen.
Stella struggled even harder. “Put me down, you bastard!”
The moment they entered the villa, Evan threw her down onto the couch.
She immediately tried to get back up, but he lunged after her.
