Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Stella had indeed blocked everyone around Evan

Including Lucas.

“What’s he going to flip over, anyway?” Stella said coolly. “At most, he’ll tear apart Azure Heights and Jennifer’s place.”

“Exactly,” Lucas said. “And when he still couldn’t find you, that’s when he really lost it.

Stella frowned.

“So he sent you to look for me?”

“Pretty much,” Lucas replied easily. “But don’t worry. I’m not asking where you live.”

Stella: ”

She glanced around the gallery instinctively.

Before she could speak, Lucas added,

“Relax. I never told him a word about your studios or galleries. Not a single detail.”

Especially now, with everything blowing up and with Evan spending the last half year standing firmly on Summer’s side, Lucas had no intention of helping him clean up this mess.

Stella let out a soft scoff.

“You’re not afraid he’ll come after you for this?”

After all, no one around Evan could get through to her right now.

Lucas was the exception.

“At this point?” Lucas shrugged. “He pissed his own wife off this badly. Why would he take out on me?

“Honestly, he needs to get taken down a peg. Otherwise, people like them really start believing you’re easy to bully.”

He paused, then looked at her seriously.

“But you’re really going head-on with Summer this time. You’re not afraid Ruby will come for you?***

Ruby was infamous for being fiercely protective of her daughter. With Stella pushing this hard, it guaranteed Ruby was already plotting retaliation.

Stella walked over and sat on the sofa.

“That assumes she’ll still have the energy to come for me.”

Lucas’s interest was immediately piqued.

“Oh? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Stella said calmly

He hesitated, then added,

“Still, if anything happens, come to me. I’ve got your back.”

Lacas meant it.

In his eyes, Stella might have grown up in an orphanage and lacked family backing, but she had never lacked character. The Wright family had accepted her into the marriage, yet never showed her basic respect.

Especially Evan.

Over the past six months, Evan had been the only support Stella had in that household and he’d squandered it completely.

Stella smiled faintly.

“Don’t worry. I know when to read the room. If I’ve stopped enduring things now, it’s because I’m capable of not enduring them anymore.”

Lucas laughed quietly.

“That sounds like you.

He sat across from her, lifted his coffee, and took a sip.

“Hearing that, I know you don’t need anyone protecting you.”

They chatted a little longer. Once Lucas was sure she was fine, he asked her to take him off the blacklist an then left.

There was nothing wrong with the gallery after all, so Stella headed back.

When she arrived at Streamside Residence, a maid brought over a bowl of soup.

Stella took a sip. It was rich and fragrant.

“What kind of soup is this?”
