Chapter 262
Patrick stepped out.
That left only the three of them in the office.
Evan flicked a glance at Fiona.
The look was enough to make her flinch.
“Evan…” She forced herself to speak anyway. “Are you… are you going to sign it?”
She tried hard to sound steady.
That bitch Stella had actually been the one to ask for a divorce first. She really had some nerve.
But at this point, with things already this bad, who cared who brought it up first?
As long as the divorce went through, that was all that mattered.
The moment Evan looked at her again, his gaze turned instantly dangerous.
Fiona felt her chest tighten under it, like she could barely breathe.
She did not dare say another word.
“You,” Evan said coldly. “Get out.”
Fiona froze.
Dora started, “Evan, you…”
“Get out.”
He bit out the words through clenched teeth.
In Evan’s eyes, the way things had deteriorated between Stella and Dora over the past two years was at least
half Fiona’s fault.
She had stirred things up again and again.
So naturally, he had no patience for her.
Seeing how cold and ruthless he was being, Fiona’s face filled with grievance.
She looked at Evan, then at Dora.
Dora was irritated too, but still said, “Go wait outside first.”
“Fine.”

Since Dora had spoken, and Fiona did not want to keep standing under Evan’s suffocating pressure anyway, she finally got up and left.
Before leaving, she shot Dora a meaningful look.
A look that clearly said: make sure you get him to divorce Stella.

Once Fiona was gone, only Evan and Dora remained.
Dora picked up the agreement and looked through it.
She did not bother reading the details too carefully. She flipped straight to the property division section.
And the second she saw that Stella was asking for half of everything, Dora’s face turned dark green with
rage.
“She wants half the assets too? You people kept saying she wasn’t after money. Well, look at this now. Is this not about money?”
This was far beyond being after money.
The amount she wanted was outrageous.
Clearly all those years of hardship in the orphanage had left her money hungry.
Now that she had finally latched onto a family like the Wrights, she was sinking her teeth in like crazy.
Half?
What right did she have to half?
What had she ever contributed to the company?
Had she worked there like Summer once did, helping close project after project for the company?
No.
She had stayed home as a housewife.
And now she still had the nerve to demand half of everything.
Dora slammed the divorce papers down on the desk.
“She can forget it.”
Half?
She could dream on.
す
Whatever Stella had been before marrying into the Wright family, that was exactly what she should go back
to after the divorce.
Did she really think she could use divorce to climb into a different social class?
That would depend on whether Dora allowed it.
Evan took another drag from his cigarette.
“So,” he said flatly, “we’re not signing it today?”
Dora’s heart skipped.
“Of course we’ll sign it. Just not like this.”

What kind of divorce agreement was this?
It looked more like extortion.
Dora was close to losing her mind.
“Wait here.”
With that, she grabbed her phone and stormed out of the office.
Fiona had been waiting outside the whole time.
The second she saw Dora come out, she rushed over.
“Well? Mom? Did Evan sign it?”
Dora ignored her completely and walked straight to a reception room nearby.
After shutting the door, she made a call.
A moment later, Fiona heard Dora shouting furiously from inside.
Almost on instinct, Fiona glanced toward the office, where Evan was still smoking.
At the same moment, Evan lifted his eyes and looked at her.
It was only one look.
But the icy force of it sent a chill straight through her.
She knew it.
At this point, Evan’s resentment toward her had reached its limit.
