Chapter 259
Fiona stared at her mother in shock. “Mom, what are you saying? Stella hit you? Has she lost her mind? No matter what, you’re still her mother-in-law.”
At that moment, Fiona truly could not believe it.
They had always thought Stella had no class, but this…
Surely she could not be this far gone.
Summer looked shaken too. “Mom, was it really her?”
“Who else would it be?” Dora’snapped. “Who else in Harbor City would dare treat me with that kind of disrespect?”
Her voice dripped with bitterness.
For years, everyone in Harbor City had treated her with deference.
But Stella? Ever since entering the Wright family, she had never gotten along with Dora.
And now she had actually laid hands on her.
Fiona jumped to her feet on the spot. “She’s gone too far. She actually hit you, an elder? Where was Evan? Didn’t he do anything about it?”
In Fiona’s mind, after something this outrageous, there was no way Evan would let Stella off.
But the moment Evan came up, Dora’s face turned even darker.
Summer stayed quiet. Her eyes moved from Fiona to Dora’s expression.
She did not need an answer.
From Dora’s face alone, it was obvious that Evan had probably defended Stella again.
That was how it had been for the past six months.
hesitation.
No matter what accusation was thrown at Stella, Evan would protect her without hesitation.
But could this still be the same?
Her daughter was dead, and Dora had been hit.
Fiona noticed Dora’s silence and guessed the truth. She grew even more furious.
“Has my brother lost his mind with her too? Fine, he’s protected her before, but this time too?”
This was not like the previous incidents.
Fiona got more worked up the more she spoke, her voice climbing higher and higher.
“Divorce. This time they absolutely have to divorce. And not just that, that woman needs to go to prison too.”

A child had died.
She refused to believe Stella could still walk away untouched like before.
Even Felix would not be able to protect her this time.
And the thought that Felix had been protecting Stella at all only made Fiona angrier.
Right on cue, Summer started crying again.
“My poor daughter…”
She clutched a pillow and sobbed into it.
A mother who had lost her child, teetering on the edge of collapse, looked pitiful enough to break anyone’s
heart.
Seeing Summer like that only made Fiona and Dora more determined.
They were going to make sure Stella divorced Evan.
And they were going to make sure she went to prison.
Dora closed her eyes for a moment, then said, “Even if she ends up behind bars, she needs to divorce your
brother first.”
Fiona nodded immediately. “Exactly. Our reputation cannot keep getting dragged down by her.”
Thinking of everything Stella had done lately, all Fiona could see was the Wright family facing public outlash over and over again.
Since it was not Stella’s own reputation at stake, of course she did not care how much damage she caused.
Summer kept crying.
And the more she cried, the more firmly Fiona and Dora made up their minds.
They would force Stella out of the marriage.
And they would make sure she paid for it.
In the end, the two of them rushed off to find Evan.
Once they were gone and Summer was alone, Mrs. Mendes came in quietly.
“Miss.”
Summer’s expression instantly changed.
“Make sure our people clean everything up properly,” she said coldly.
She had gone to enormous lengths to set this up.
Even her poor daughter had been sacrificed in the process.
There was no way she was going to let Stella stay in the Wright family after.this.
