Chapter 294
On the other end of the Thie, Aaron could tell something serious had happened.
“What exactly happened?”
Stella said, “Letting them die would be letting them off too easy. How could I let them die? I need them to…”
Her voice stopped abruptly there.
But the danger in her words did not fade.
“It has to be worse than death.”
Those four words came out wrapped in a chill so cold it felt bone-deep.
She knew exactly what Aaron would do once he learned the truth about her mother’s death.
He would kill them.
No. That could not happen.
If they died just like that, it would be too easy for them.
Dora could not be allowed to die so simply. She had to suffer. She had to be tormented.
Everything she had built her pride on as Mrs. Wright had to crack apart, piece by piece.
And only then could she die in pain.
The entire Wright family had to be dragged into hell and left there to suffer.
Hearing the violent edge in Stella’s voice, Aaron said, “Stella, you do not need to keep tangling yourself up
with them.
“Whatever you want done, I will handle it for you.”
In the middle of her emotional collapse, those were the strongest words Stella had heard.
But this time, she did not want that.
This time, she was not going to listen to him.
Her eyes lowered.
“Brother, I was wrong.”
Aaron fell silent.
୮
Stella continued, “All they ever wanted was to drive me out of the Wright family. The moment I am gone from their sight, they get exactly what they want.
“So how could I let them have that? How could I give them what they want? I will make them understand what kind of monster is truly worth fearing.” 1
What the entire Wright family wanted most was for her and Evan to divorce.

Once she divorced Evan, they would finally be at peace.
But how could Stella possibly give them that peace?
She could not.
She wanted them in pain. Afraid. Suffocating.
Even better, trapped in complete darkness.
Aaron said quietly, “You…”
“The punishment they deserve should come from me. How could I just walk away like this?”
From Old Mrs. Wright down to Fiona, every single one of them looked at her like she was poison.
“I am going to tear everything they have apart.”
She bit out every word through clenched teeth.
Her voice sounded shattered and unhinged all at once. It was enough to make anyone’s heart shake, and
ache for her too.
“Stella…”
“As for everything Wright Corporation has overseas, Brother, tear into it however you want. Tear it apart until there is nothing left.”
And as for the Wright family itself, that last place they thought was safe from outside interference…
She was going to crush that too, bit by bit.
Aaron said nothing.
By now, he knew for sure that something major had happened.
Not only had something happened, it was something big.
“Fine. Wherever you go, take Gray with you.”
“I will. Of course I will.”
Stella stayed on the phone with Aaron for quite a while before finally hanging up.
Listening to the near-madness in her voice, Aaron understood one thing clearly.
