Chapter 378
Because this was the Wright family’s old estate, not Stella’s estate in Mount Pansworth, Jennifer only stayed with Stella for a while before leaving.
Dora, Fiona, and Summer walked for more than two hours before they finally made it back.
All three of them were so exhausted they were almost ready to collapse.
In the living room, Stella was sitting on a lounge chair by the floor-to-ceiling windows with a book in her hands. She looked gentle and elegant.
But only those who had suffered through her methods over the past few days knew what kind of poisoned heart was hidden beneath that gentle elegance.
Summer shot Stella a look full of hatred, clenched her fists, and went straight upstairs.
Dora walked up to Stella. “Tell me. How much money will it take for you to agree to the divorce?”
Every word came through clenched teeth.
Over the past two days, Dora had been asking the same question again and again.
What would it take for Stella to agree to divorce?
She just wanted Stella to get out of the Wright family as soon as possible.
Stella was too ruthless.
She was too good at tormenting people.
With Felix backing her, she acted without restraint and did whatever she wanted.
Although they were determined to have Fiona steal Felix away from her, that would take time.
And they could not wait another day.
They could not wait another minute.

So if Stella was willing to take money and leave, then no matter how much she asked for, it would be a relief for everyone in the Wright family.
Hearing the hatred in Dora’s voice, Stella closed the book in her hands and lifted her eyes to look at her.
That gaze was so sharp it made Dora’s heart tremble.
Stella’s voice was icy. “Do you hate seeing your son happy that much?”
Dora froze.
“My marriage with him is perfectly fine. Why would we divorce?”
The words “perfectly fine” struck Dora’s nerves like a blade.
Her breath caught instantly.

Perfectly fine?
Stella actually called this marriage between her and Evan perfectly fine?
Was this what perfectly fine looked like?
“Don’t say those things to me. Just tell me how much you want.”
Dora forced herself to keep negotiating with Stella.
She had no strength left now. She was hungry and exhausted. All she wanted was to send Stella away and get her peace back.
Stella said, “How much? I asked for five billion before, and you refused.”
“Five billion, right? Fine. I’ll give it to you.”
Now Dora was willing.
Forget five billion. Even if Stella asked for ten billion, Dora would agree.
These past two days had taught her something.
When dealing with a person, the frightening thing was not that they had conditions.
The frightening thing was when they had no conditions at all.
That was when they became unbearable.
“Take your people and get out of the Wright family right now. I’ll give you the five billion. All of it.”
Dora spoke eagerly, terrified that if she were even a second too slow, Stella might change her mind.
Five billion.
It was an enormous amount of money, but Dora could no longer care.
She did not care when Stella would end up in prison or whether she would ever get to use that money.
Right now, she only wanted Stella to leave the Wright family immediately.
Stella said, “Five billion won’t do now.”

“Then how much do you want? Isn’t that enough? Don’t forget where you came from, and don’t forget what five billion means to someone like you.
