Chapter 554
Harold ranted over the phone for a long time, and Evan never got a chance to cut in.
Maybe that was for the best.
Faced with this kind of helpless situation, he did not know what to say anyway.
By the time he stepped inside, Harold had already called Stella.
Over the phone, Harold’s voice was sharp with anger.
“Back then, none of us agreed to your marriage with Evan. But after you entered the Wright family, we still gave you the dignity you deserved. What do you think you’re doing now?”
“What dignity did the Wright family ever give me?”
Hearing Harold claim that the Wright family had given her the dignity she deserved, Stella almost found it laughable.
What dignity had the Wright family given her?
“My dignity was something I gave myself. It had nothing to do with the Wright family.”
After marrying Evan, if she had continued living at the old Wright estate, what dignity would she have had?
For Harold to say something like that now was simply ridiculous.
Harold snapped, “Have you forgotten what kind of life you lived before you married Evan? And what kind of life you lived after you married him?”
“I would have lived well even if I hadn’t married him.”
“You’ve forgotten where you came from,” Harold said coldly.
He did not spell it out, but the meaning was obvious.
He was reminding Stella that she had come from an orphanage.
Stella let out a soft laugh. “Where I came from? Mr. Wright, haven’t you forgotten where you came from too?”
What had he done when he first took over Wright Group?
What methods had he used to push Wright Group to the next level?
Was that not also where he came from?
“Your path here was far uglier than mine. I may have started from the bottom, but at least my past was clean. Can you say the same, Mr. Wright?”
Every word was like a question aimed straight at his soul.
On the other end of the phone, Harold froze
“What do you know?”
That word, “clean,” had clearly struck a nerve.
Stelia said lightly, “Why don’t you guess?”
She did not answer his question directly. She only gave him those two words with a faint laugh.
Yet that quiet laugh made Harold, even through the phone, feel as if someone had wrapped a hand around his throat.

Stella saw Evan walk in.
She gave a cold little laughinte the phone. “A man whose own past is filthy has no right to look down on anyone.”
This was the Stella of today.
Even in front of Evan, she still mocked a member of the Wright family.
And not just any member.
His father.
Although Evan’s relationship with Harold had never been good, seeing Stella speak to Harold this way over the phone, right in front of him, still filled his face with hostility.
Harold said, “You… you’ve gone too far!”
Stella said, “Then let me tell you something, Mr. Wright. This is only the beginning. As for when it ends, that depends on your son.”
As she spoke, Stella glanced at Evan, whose face was dark with fury.
Had she gone too far?
