Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296

For all their rotten hearts, they knew exactly how many guilty secrets they were carrying.

The slightest stir, and they were already on edge.

Evan’s voice turned tight. “I just want to know what the hell you’re planning.”

“If you’re this uneasy, then maybe we should get divorced after all.”

The moment Stella said ‘divorced’ so casually, something in Evan snapped again.

How could she say it so easily?

What had everything between them meant, then?

“Stella Rowan, what do you take me for? What do you take our marriage for?”

His voice on the phone was almost breaking apart.

Stella said, “Then what exactly do you want from me? When I say I won’t divorce you, you ask what I’m planning.”

“When I say maybe we should divorce, you ask what marriage means to me. So tell me, what do ‘you’ take me for?”

Evan fell silent.

The line went completely still.

He rubbed at his aching brow. “Where are you? I’ll come get you and take you home.”

At the word ‘home’, Stella let out a mocking laugh.

The night he told her to leave, his attitude had been ice cold.

Of course.

That was how it always was when people came from different worlds.

“You still remember the way you told me to leave that night?”

“Where are you?” Evan repeated.

At that moment, he had no interest in arguing over the phone.

If she had agreed not to divorce him, then she should come home.

Stella’s only answer was to hang up.

Listening to the dead line, Evan felt like the anger was about to split his chest open.

Stella tossed her phone onto the table and looked up to see Jennifer sitting beside her at some point without her noticing.

She paused, “When did you get back?”

“Five minutes ago. What is going on with you and Evan now?”

Stella said, “We’re not divorcing.”

Jennifer froze. Then she asked blankly, “What happened?”

Just earlier, Stella had been absolutely set on divorcing him.

Jennifer had only gone to work, and now she was back to hear Stella say the divorce was off.

Stella looked at her.

At that moment, a storm was raging in her eyes.

Everything she had not said to Aaron on the phone, she told Jennifer now.

And when Jennifer heard it all, she went completely still.

She stared at Stella in shock. “What kind of cursed fate is this between you and Evan?”

Her mother had been killed by the Wright family.

And without knowing any of that, she had married the son of the people who killed her mother.

Stella took a sip of soup. “The Wright family really had power over everything. All these years, not a word of it ever got out.”

Even when Aaron found her, he had not known what happened back then.

He had only believed her mother died of illness, and that neighbors had sent her to the orphanage.

If Grandma Diana had not learned she married Evan, the truth might have stayed buried forever.

At the mention of the Wright family’s power, Jennifer let out a cold laugh. “People who sit that high up never got there without dirty hands.”

Stella closed her eyes for a moment.

“In that case,” Jennifer said, “don’t divorce him. Not until the Wright family is in pieces. Let that family become your battlefield.”

Yes.

A battlefield.

A battlefield that would grind the Wright family’s minds and spirits into dust.
