Chapter 344
At this point, Evan had completely run out of patience.
The company was already a mess. Now the house was chaos too.
Everything piled together, and all he felt was exhaustion.
He just wanted this to end. Fast.
Dora stared at him. “You’ll pay? That’s all Wright family money. Isn’t yours part of the Wright family too?”
Across from them, Stella calmly picked up a slice of apple and bit into it.
The crisp ‘crunch’ echoed in the tense room.
It made everyone’s chest tighten.
Especially Summer.
She hadn’t eaten a single thing all day.
On the table sat the leftovers from Stella’s meal. The soup still looked rich and steaming, almost irresistible.
She had never been someone greedy about food before.
But hunger?
It changed everything.
Right now, everything looked good to her.
Seeing Stella eating so casually only made Dora’s insides twist harder.
“Evan, do you really think this is just about a few houses?”
He said nothing.
Dora’s voice rose.

“She moved back in today and turned this entire house upside down! None of us have eaten all day!”
Stella didn’t even look at her.
“If you’re not eating, don’t blame me.”
Dora, Summer, and Fiona all froze.
The audacity.
They were starving, and she had the nerve to say that?
Dora’s voice turned sharp and final.
“She has to get out of this house. Right now.”
Stella finished her food, then stood up.

Gray stepped forward immediately and pulled her chair back for her.
Stella brushed her hands lightly.
“You all can keep arguing. I’m going upstairs to rest.”
She turned and walked away without another glance.
Dora rushed after her a couple of steps.
“Rest? What rest? Get out of this house!”
Stella didn’t even stop walking.
“I’m Evan’s wife. I’m not an outsider. That word ‘get out’ doesn’t apply to me.”
Dora choked on her own anger.
She tried to move forward-
but was blocked again by Stella’s people.
She froze.
That was the reality now.
Stella had come prepared.
Brought enough people to make sure no one in this house could touch her.
Stella disappeared upstairs.
Dora turned back to Evan, voice shaking with fury.
“Did you see that? Did you see what she’s doing? Who here can even do anything to her now?!”
Evan lifted his gaze slightly.
“What exactly were you planning to do to her?”
Dora froze.
His tone was calm.
Too calm.
“If she hadn’t brought those people,” he continued, “what were you planning to do?”
Dora’s face stiffened.
“What are you implying? You think I was wrong before too?”
Evan crushed his cigarette into the ashtray, then stood up.
He looked at her once.
Didn’t answer.

Then turned and walked upstairs.
Just like that.
Dora stood there, stunned.
Once he was gone, Stella’s people also went back to their tasks.
But the kitchen?
Still locked down.
No one from the Wright family could step inside.
Dora nearly exploded.
“What does he mean by that?!”
Fiona clenched her teeth.
“He’s still protecting her.”
Dora’s face twisted.
“Even now? That bitch-”
She cut herself off.
Because at that exact moment-
two of Stella’s people in the kitchen turned and looked at her.
