Chapter 403
After all, Lucas had always gotten along fairly well with her over the years.
And judging by his attitude just now when he came to persuade her on Evan’s behalf, Stella didn’t see any need to hide it from him.
Lucas stared at her. “Brother? As in, your real biological brother?”
“Yes.”
Stella nodded.
Lucas fell silent.
So he had guessed right.
Especially after seeing that photo and thinking about the brutal blows Wright Corporation had taken lately, he knew this wasn’t as simple as Evan believed.
And yet everyone kept thinking it was Felix.
“Aaron Hogarth?”
Even though Lucas had already suspected it, hearing it confirmed still hit him hard.
Who would have thought that Stella, the woman who had once lived so miserably in the Wright family, was actually the princess of Hogarth Group?
Dora had always looked down on her background.
But now, looking at the truth, who exactly had the right to look down on whom?
“No wonder you’re so good at business,” Lucas murmured. “The studios, the biotech companies, all those assets under your name.”
“So you’re a Hogarth.”
Even before the Hogarth family had found her, Stella’s talent had already been quietly showing. The Wright family just never knew.
But then again, why would anyone let people who looked down on them know what they truly had?
Of course Stella would never let the Wrights know.
And that sudden, drastic change in her later on, that complete reversal before and after…
So that was why.
The Hogarth family had found her.
Lucas looked at her. “Then what are you doing now?”
Since she was a Hogarth, she could just return to Eirden and cut ties with the Wright family completely.
Why was she still staying here, tangled up with them?

Stella looked at him. “You’re that curious?”
Lucas opened his mouth. “I just…”
Just what?
He swallowed the rest.
Deep down, he didn’t want Stella and Evan to keep fighting like this either.
But looking at her now, it was obvious she had no intention of stopping.
Stella said, “Enough. Stop being curious. What’s between me and him isn’t something you can afford to be curious about.”
“You hate the Wright family.’
Hearing her careless tone, Lucas became even more certain.
She hated them.
After all, as the little princess of the Hogarth family, she could have gone back anytime.
But she had chosen not to leave at a time like this.
That meant there was still something in the Wright family she had not dealt with.
And whatever it was, it was serious.
Stella didn’t answer him directly. She only looked at him, her gaze turning colder bit by bit.
For the first time, Lucas saw that kind of chill in her eyes directed at him.
“All right, all right,” Lucas said quickly. “I won’t ask. I’m not curious anymore.
Stella said, “You’re welcome to tell Evan. But if you do, I can’t promise what will happen to the Lucas family.”
Lucas went still.
Was she threatening him now?
That only made him even more certain that Stella hated the Wright family to the bone.
And it wasn’t because of the things that had happened recently.
This kind of hatred was different.
If anyone stood in her way, she would destroy them too.
Under those circumstances, who would dare go against her?
Lucas said, “You really shouldn’t have told me about your relationship with the Hogarth family.’
Now he truly regretted it.
Why had he shown Stella that important photo just now?

Seriously.
In the photo, Stella and Aaron Hogarth’s features looked so alike.
