Chapter 386
It was not just Dora and the others who could not take it anymore.
After everything Stella had done, even Evan was starting to reach his limit.
He called Lucas directly.
Compared with Dora’s and Fiona’s so-called friends, Evan’s brothers were at least more loyal.
Whether it was Lucas or Leon, as long as he called, they would show up
The phone rang only twice before Lucas answered.
“Evan.”
“Come over right now…” Evan paused. “Forget it. Come to my house tomorrow. First thing in the morning.”
“What for?”
“What we talked about before.” Evan pinched the ache between his brows.
Over the years, Stella and Lucas had always gotten along fairly well.
His other friends were not suitable to step in, but if Lucas spoke to her, she might at least listen a little.
On the other end, Lucas heard him mention what they had talked about before.
And since Evan was asking him to come directly to the Wright family’s old estate, Lucas instantly understood what he meant.
He swallowed. “You mean… you want me to persuade Stella to agree to the divorce? That…
“Her attitude is becoming impossible,” Evan cut him off before he could finish.
Lucas said, “She won’t listen to me.’
“Just try.”
Evan’s voice was heavy.

After two days, the entire Wright family had been thrown into chaos. Everyone had been tormented badly.
Evan was starting to feel worn down too.
He had never wanted a divorce as strongly as he did now.
Before, no matter how much Stella had fought for one, he had refused. He had not wanted to divorce her.
But now…
If this continued, she was going to tear a layer of skin off every single one of them.
Even Evan was close to losing his ability to hold on.
The man who had once refused to divorce no matter what now wanted it even more fiercely than Stella had

On the other end, Lucas heard the state Evan was in and asked tentatively, “Is it really that bad?”
In Lucas’s view, Stella had always been a kind person. He did not think she could cause that much harm.
Sure, she had burned down quite a few houses.
But so far, no one had died, right?
“I think with Stella, maybe you should talk to her properly. Try coaxing her a little. You know she’s always been kind.”
Evan fell silent.
If Lucas had not used the word kind, he might have been able to stay calmer.
But now that Lucas had said it, the whole thing felt especially absurd.
“She burned down everything the Wright family owns except the old estate, and you’re telling me she’s kind?”
Evan spoke through gritted teeth.
She had even burned Mount Lara down.
Mount Lara and Inkwood Manor.
One had been designed especially for her. The other had been their marital home.
She had burned them both to the ground.
And Lucas was still saying she was kind?
Evan had been wrong about her before.
That woman was ruthless to the bone.
Someone like her had nothing to do with kindness.
Lucas fell silent.
Hearing Evan put it that way, he suddenly had no way to argue.
す
“Then if that’s the case, she’s determined to make trouble. I’m not sure I can persuade her either.”
Lucas felt that honest people should never be pushed too far.
Before, Stella really had been considered an honest woman, hadn’t she?
But now they had pushed her too far, and this was what happened.
