Chapter 412
Fiona was still furious, so she called Evan too.
At that moment, Evan was on his way to see Felix.
Everything overseas had collapsed.
When he answered Fiona’s call and heard her say Stella was also involved with a man from Eirden, his eyes filled with a cold, vicious chill.
That chill kept growing until it twisted into something almost crazed.
His grip tightened around the phone. “Involved with a man from Eirden? Fiona, say that again and I’ll tear that mouth of yours apart.”
At that moment, part of Evan believed it.
But after all the awful things Fiona had said about Stella before, he still had some doubt.
“I’m telling the truth,” Fiona said. “Mom and I both heard it.”
She sounded certain.
Evan asked, “What did you hear?”
“She told that man from Eirden she missed him. Tell me, what kind of relationship would make a woman say that to another man?”
Evan fell silent.
He had not believed it before.
But now that Fiona had said it like this, he started to.
His grip on the phone tightened again. In that moment, he wished he could crush it in his hand.
“Evan, she’s just a loose woman,” Fiona shouted into the phone. “I really don’t know what you and Felix
see in her.”

“She has made our family suffer so much. I said she was awful before, but you didn’t believe me. You even got mad at Mom and me. Now you know, don’t you? She’s a bitch.”
“Enough!”
At Fiona’s last insult, Evan’s anger finally exploded.
It was almost instinct.
Fiona used to love calling Stella that, and he had hated it then.
Now, even though things between him and Stella had deteriorated to this point, hearing Fiona insult her like that still made him resist it on instinct.
His roar stunned Fiona on the other end of the line.

Then she said, “You’re still protecting her?”
Even after Stella had betrayed him like that, he was still going to protect her?
Fiona took a tight, breathless inhale. “You’re all bewitched. You’re all insane.”
After yelling that, she hung up.
She was clearly completely disappointed in Evan too.
Evan listened to the disconnected tone, his head throbbing fiercely. Hè pinched the bridge of his nose and
didn’t want to say a word.
Felix.
A man from Eirden.
How many things about her did he still not know?
Did Felix know about the man from Eirden?
In that moment, Evan felt chilled to the bone by everything Stella had done.
He had completely forgotten how Stella’s rebellion had started.
He had also forgotten how things between them had reached this point.
Fiona and Dora were dropped off by the Shaw family’s car at the intersection, then had to walk back.
Looking at the wound on Fiona’s forehead, Dora’s heart ached. “Felix went too far.”
“Stella was the one who betrayed him. Why did he take it out on you?”
“I don’t know,” Fiona said. “I really almost didn’t make it back today. He nearly choked me to death.”
If anyone tried to make her go see Felix again, she truly wouldn’t dare.
That trip today had nearly cost her half her life.
“He hit you like this and nearly choked you to death? No, wait. What exactly did you say to him?”
