Chapter 547
Evan said nothing and hung up.
The office fell silent.
He picked up the glass of water in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
The water was cold, but it did nothing to wash away the heaviness and frustration in his chest.
Just then, Harold called too.
Harold’s meaning was the same as Old Mrs. Wright’s.
Now that the fire in Harbor City had spread to them, they were truly anxious to return and see what was going on.
But right now, no matter who it was, none of them could come back.
Old Mrs. Wright could not return.
Harold could not return either.
At present, none of the Wright family’s accounts had technically been frozen, but in reality, it was no different from being
frozen.
Over the phone, Harold’s tone was sharp and furious.
“What exactly happened between you and Stella? Why has it turned into this? Weren’t you the one who insisted on marrying her >ack then? What kind of thing did you bring into this family?”
Harold was furious.
This time, Stella made no attempt to hide her attacks on them. She had acted under her own name.
When she first married into the Wright family, she had been someone with almost no presence at all.
And now?
Now she had become the nightmare of the entire Wright family.
Evan said nothing.
Listening to Harold’s sharp anger over the phone only made him more irritable.
He wanted to drink more water, but the glass was empty.
Left with no choice, he lit a cigarette.
Harold demanded, “Why can’t we spend our own money? Even your grandmother can’t spend hers. What exactly did she do?”
“She’s done too much. I don’t even know where to begin.”
“If you don’t know where to begin, then deal with it first. What does she mean by restricting all our spending?”
The word deal made Evan’s head throb violently.
Deal with it. Deal with it.
Hadn’t he been trying to deal with it all along?
The problem was, he could not.
This was the first time Evan had encountered something he could not handle.

And because he could not handle it, fire frustration in his heart grew even worse.
On the other end, when Harold leard Evan fall silent, his tone became even harsher.
“Say something!”
Evan said, “I’m afraid I can’t handle this.”
“What?”
Hearing the son he had always been proud of say something like that over a woman, Harord was shocked.
He could hardly believe his ears.
“What the hell are you saying? This is only a matter involving a woman, and you’re telling me you can’t handle it?”
It was just a woman.
Was Evan joking?
How could he say he could not handle it?
Evan said, “There’s only one way to handle this.
“What way?”
“Give her all of Wright Group and every asset the Wright family owns.”
When Evan said this, his voice suddenly became calm.
His eyes were dark and unreadable.
Beneath that darkness was his helplessness toward Stella.
Yes.
Helplessness.
There had been a time when she had been the gentlest presence in the Wright family.
No matter who made things difficult for her, she had always smiled it off.
Even when she had serious complaints about Dora, the most she had done was ask to live separately.
But this time…
It was as if all her gentleness had exploded at once.
