Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Public opinion and social media in Harbor City were spiraling out of control

Reporters swarmed the hospital where Summer was staying. Some openly questioned staff others breker nearby, snapping photos in secret.

Dora reacted quickly, stationing bodyguards outside the ward.

Summer stared at the flood of insults online. The language was vicious, relentless. Six months ago, when redan had died, the scene had looked much the same. Back then, though, the internet had been full of sympathy and

comfort.

Now, it was nothing but filth.

Tears welled in Summer’s eyes.

“Mom, I want to find Steven. I want to see him. He’ll protect me. He always protects me,”

Dora’s head throbbed.

Recognizing the familiar signs of another episode, panic set in. She was terrified Summer would spiral again and tear her stitches open. With no other choice, she called the doctor and had her sedated.

Even after she calmed down, Summer kept murmuring the same name over and over.

“Steven… Steven…”

Each repetition cut deeper than the last.

Dora’s phone rang.

It was Ruby.

Her voice was sharp and unyielding.

“So tell me, what exactly is going on with the Wright family right now?

“And that woman, Stella. She thinks she can climb over my daughter’s head now, does she?”

Dora’s expression darkened.

“This was unexpected. We’re handling it.”

“Handling it?” Ruby scoffed. “Honestly, you never should have let Evan marry a woman like that the first place.”

The contempt in her tone was unmistakable.

Dora felt the familiar frustration rise. She had opposed the marriage back then. It hadn’t mattere Evan had always made his own decisions.

Ruby continued coldly,

“Summer just gave birth to a set of twins for your family. What has that Stella ever contributed? And you still

Steven was gone. In Ruby’s mind, it was only natural for Summer to take his place beside Evan And yer Stethe refused to step aside.

Ruby hadn’t even figured out how to get rid of Stella yet, and the woman was already striking back

Who gave her the nerve?

Dora forced herself to answer,

“She’s in the middle of divorcing Evan. Her behavior’s gotten… extreme.”

“She’s divorcing him?”

The question came quickly, and beneath it flickered a trace of satisfaction.

Dora didn’t notice.

“Yes.”

“Even so,” Ruby snapped, “she had no right to hurt my daughter. Summer just gave birth. She’s weak. Vulnerable.

“No matter what, you need to resolve this immediately.”

“Yes,” Dora replied stiffly. “You’re right.”

The call ended.

Dora stood there, seething.

Stella was already pushing for a divorce, yet she still had the audacity to stir up this kind of chas

Across the room, Summer had overheard enough.

The moment her mother’s voice disappeared from the line, satisfaction flickered in her eyes.

She was certain this would be handled quickly.

After all, she had the Wright family behind her. And her mother.

What did Stella have?

Trying to crush her with public opinion was laughable. Stella was hopelessly outmatched.

Dora walked over and softened her voice.

“Summer, you’ve suffered this time.”

Summer lowered her gaze, hiding the smug glint beneath a mask of quiet grief.

Her silence only made Dora feel worse.

At lunchtime, Stella lifted her glass and took a slow sip of water.

Gary approached her.

“Miss, Evan and Summer have started working on damage control. They’re trying to suppress the pobille backlash”
