Chapter 401
She had just set down her phone when Lucas arrived.
Stella frowned at the sight of him. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to talk you into getting a divorce.”
Stella was speechless.
So was Gray.
Lucas’s blunt answer made Stella’s expression darken.
“I have something I want to say to you alone,” Lucas said. “Is that okay?”
Stella glanced at Gray, then gave a slight nod.
Gray bowed respectfully and led the servants out.
Soon, only Stella and Lucas were left.
Stella looked at him. “Go ahead.”
Lucas asked, “Do you really hate Evan that much?”
Stella’s face went cold. “You made all my people leave just to ask me something that pointless?”
“You’re going after the entire Wright family this time, aren’t you?”
Stella said nothing.
Her gaze turned even colder as she looked at him.
“You don’t have to look at me like that,” Lucas said.
“Then what exactly are you trying to say?”
Her voice was noticeably colder now.
Lucas said, “That’s what this is about. You’re going after the whole Wright family. You hate them.”
Stella gave a quiet laugh. “Honestly, what am I supposed to say about you? Back when you used to hang around Evan and the others, I always thought you were the dumbest one of the bunch.”
Lucas stared at her. “That’s a little harsh.”
What did she mean, the dumbest one?
Stella laughed softly. “But now I see your eyes are actually pretty sharp.”
Sharp enough to see what Evan still hadn’t figured out.
Although Dora had finally gotten smart for once too. She had finally realized that Stella was targeting the entire Wright family. Even Dora herself.
Not just Evan.

As for Fiona, she probably still thought Stella was doing all this because of her relationship with Evan.
What relationship?
If this were really about feelings, would Stella have gone this far?
Feelings meant nothing.
Compared to the pain the Wright family had put her mother through, what did her relationship with Evan even count for?
“So,” Stella said with a smile as she looked at Lucas, “you want me to divorce Evan?”
Lucas said, “Evan wants the divorce.”
He still didn’t know exactly what had happened, but he passed along Evan’s message atryway.
After all, when those two were stuck together, it was obvious Evan wasn’t the only one suffering.
Stella had been hurting too.
But compared to before, she seemed much lighter now.
That made sense.
When someone was desperate to cut off a relationship and it had nothing to do with love anymore, that person would feel much freer inside it.
And right now, out of the entire Wright family, Stella was clearly the only one who seemed even a little at
ease.
Stella let out a cold laugh. “So he wants a divorce. Once we’re divorced, he can live his good life, marry some daughter-in-law Dora actually likes, and the Wright family can go back to being one big happy family.”
As if the world worked that way.
Lucas fell silent.
Hearing the sarcasm in her voice, he asked, “Does this really make you feel better? Staying tangled up like this?”
“Yes,” Stella said. “It feels great.”
Why wouldn’t it?
As long as all of them were miserable, she felt perfectly fine.
When Lucas heard that, he nodded. “Then I’m not going to talk you out of it.”
