Chapter 472
Evan couldn’t be blamed for asking so many questions.
Even though some of them sounded like questions only an idiot would ask.
Too much had happened lately.
Stella had suddenly exploded.
Felix had protected her.
Then Hogarth Group had started attacking him too.
“Or should I ask this another way?” Evan said. “Does Hogarth Group’s attack on Wright Corporation have anything to do with Stella?”
This time, Evan skipped Felix altogether and went straight to the possible connection between Stella and Hogarth Group.
Because he had remembered what Dora and Fiona said. Stella had been on the phone with a man from
Eirden.
And when Fiona had gone to tell Felix about it, Felix had nearly killed her.
So…
Maybe this wasn’t about Felix and Stella’s relationship./
Maybe Stella herself had ties to Eirden.
Maybe she had even connected directly with someone in Hogarth Group.
If that was the case…
Then he really would have to see that woman in a whole new light.
Felix said, “Instead of asking me these questions, you should go ask your mother how many people she
killed,”
Evan froze.
After saying that, Felix shook off his hand and got straight into the car.
Evan stood there, his whole body going cold.
How many people his mother had killed?
r
No.
How could she have killed anyone so casually?
She had been arrogant all these years, yes.
As Mrs. Wright, she had always been proud.

But if someone said she had killed people, Evati couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
In the end, Evan didn’t even know how he got back into the car.
His mind was filled with Felix’s words.
Go find out how many people your mother killed.
So Stella’s return to the Wright family this time had something to do with Dora?
He smoked one cigarette after another.
Finally, Evan picked up his phone and called Lucas.
Lucas answered quickly. “Evan.”
“Did Stella say anything to you?”
Felix hadn’t spelled it out, but his hints had been obvious enough.
In Evan’s mind, Lucas had always had a good relationship with Stella over the years.
If Felix knew something, how could Lucas know nothing?
The only difference was that Felix wouldn’t tell him.
Lucas definitely would.
Lucas hesitated. “Uh… not really.”
Evan’s question came so suddenly that Lucas almost didn’t react in time.
And once he did, his answer came out awkward and uncertain, with barely any confidence. There was even a hint of guilt in his voice.
It sounded almost as if he were the one targeting Wright Corporation.
Hearing the obvious hesitation in Lucas’s voice, Evan frowned. “Are you hiding something from me?”
“No,” Lucas said without thinking.
This time, his tone was firm enough.
Was this a joke?
Stella was the heiress of Hogarth Group.
If she treated him as a friend, then he was her friend.
r
If he pissed her off and she stopped considering him a friend, he would be the one who suffered.
It had to be said that Lucas understood his place in front of Stella very well.
But Evan pressing him like this was truly making things difficult.
Lucas coughed twice. “Did you… find out something?”
