Chapter 29
After lunch, Stella started to feel drowsy
she had just lain down when her phone buzzed with a notification
Still half-asleep, she opened it.
It was a message from the bank.
Card deactivation successful.
Stella paused.
Card… deactivated?
She checked the card number carefully. It was the one Evan had previously had Patrick arrange for her. The account was under Evan’s name, but the registered phone number was hers.
That card had been cancelled outright.
Which meant the other two supplementary cards he had given her were probably frozen as well.
A cold smile curved her lips.
So this was his move.
Did he really think the media outrage surrounding Summer was something she had bought with money?
Fine.
Then he could keep his eyes wide open and see for himself whether the storm would die down after cutting of
her cards.
Her phone buzzed again.
This time, it was a text message.
[Stella, you bitch. Are you trying to kill me?]
[What, you can’t hold onto Evan anymore, so you’re resorting to these dirty tricks? Just wait. I won’t let this go.)
Even through the screen, Stella could feel Summer’s panic and rage.
She didn’t reply.
She simply blocked the number.
Opening the chat app, she saw multiple friend requests waiting.
From Evan.
From Summer.
From Patrick.
All of them were already on her Macklist.
There was one mide.
Dora
Her so-called mother-in-law, who had always been far too proud to add her on any communications app previously.
The verification message read:
[Stella, have you lost your mind? What exactly are you trying to do?l
Stella rejected them all, one by one. No explanation. No message.
Outside, public opinion was raging
Inside, she remained silent.
That silence alone was enough to drive Summer and Dora to the brink.
As for Evan-
Another friend request popped up.
[Where are you? I’ll come get you.]
Stella stared at the message for a long moment.
Everyone was desperate to find her now.
But she no longer wanted to give them the chance to speak to her at all.
On the other end, Evan was still staring at his phone.
Waiting.
A reply.
An acceptance.
Even a rejection.
But there was nothing.
Nothing at all.
“Have you located which hotel she’s staying at yet?” he demanded through clenched teeth. Even if freezing her cards wouldn’t force her back until tomorrow, he still wanted to find her as Patrick had just received the latest update. When Evan pressed him, he shook his head grimly
as possible.
We we checked Mrs. Wright isn’t staying at any hotel.”
Nerd at Aprire rights.
Not at a hotel.
Not with Jennifer.
Then where was she?
And who was she with?
Patrick hesitated, then said carefully,
“There is one more thing…”
His hesitation was obvious.
Evan shot him a cold look.
“Say it.”
Patrick stiffened under the pressure and spoke quickly.
“This morning, when Mrs. Wright was discharged from the hospital, the paperwork was handled by a man from Eirden.”
Evan’s expression shifted sharply.
“What?”
Wasn’t she with Jennifer?
Where did a man from Eirden come from?
Patrick saw the confusion and added,
“Miss Tanner was there as well.”
Jennifer had been present, but so had an Eirden man.
Evan frowned.
“A man?”
“Yes.”
Patrick nodded.
