Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217

“Do I look like someone who would do that?” Stella shot back.

“You want a divorce, don’t you?”

“I do,” she said flatly. “But even then…”

She scoffed.

As if she needed to kidnap Summer’s child just to force Evan into a divorce.

Jennifer sighed. “Evan feels a huge sense of responsibility toward Steven. And that extends to his child too.

Steven was dead.

Even if Evan never said it out loud, anyone could see it. He would take care of that child for the rest of his life.

Especially now, with the baby just born, that sense of responsibility was at its peak.

If anyone dared to touch that child right now, he might actually lose it.

“I’m not that low,” Stella said coldly.

“Good,” Jennifer let out a breath. “I was seriously worried. If you really took the kid to threaten him, you’d basically be playing with fire.”

Evan had always treated Stella well.

But if he was pushed too far, if he really snapped, she would be the one to suffer.

Even if she had a brother like Aaron, she was still in/Harbor City right now.

If she were back in Eirden, that would be a different story.

“Playing with fire?” Stella let out a soft laugh. “You think I’m scared of him?”

“Sure, you’re not scared. You’re a heiress of the Hogarth family,” Jennifer said, her tone firm. “But you’re not back in Eirden yet. Don’t make things worse.”

In short, the priority right now was simple.

Get the divorce done.

Then leave immediately.

At the words ‘don’t make things worse’, Stella clicked her tongue. “I know.”

That bastard still refused to divorce her no matter what.

“Wait… they’re not blaming you for the missing child, are they?” Jennifer asked.

Stella let out a dry laugh. “Oh, they absolutely are.”

Summer and Dora had both called her, demanding the child.

Like she had just… eaten the kid or something.

Jennifer sucked in a sharp breath.

Stella could hear it clearly through the phone.

“So even if you didn’t do it,” Jennifer said slowly, “it basically looks like you did?”

“Exactly. So what’s the difference?”

“None.”

Which meant one thing.

Things were about to blow up again.

Right now, the entire Wright family believed Stella had taken the child.

And sooner or later, that would affect Evan too.

He would start to believe that for the sake of a divorce, she was capable of anything.

And once that happened…

There would be no controlling what came next.

“Alright, enough,” Stella said. “I’m leaving Mount Lara.”

Evan was finally gone.

That meant she had one priority.

Get out.

She hung up and immediately called Gray.

He picked up quickly. “Miss.”

“Come get me. Now.”

Standing by the window, Stella glanced outside.

Evan might be gone, but he had left plenty of bodyguards behind.

Clearly, he had no intention of letting her leave.

“Understood.”

The thought of staying even one more minute on Evan’s turf made her sick.

She just wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

At the hospital.

The moment Evan arrived, he went straight to the security office.

Dora and Summer followed close behind.
