Chapter 547
“If I had begged you back then, wouldn’t that have made me spineless? But I didn’t.”
In the face of all their cruelty, Stella had never bowed her head.
She had grown up in an orphanage.
Everyone had looked down on her.
But those people had never understood one thing. Stella Rowan’s spine was not soft.
They could look down on her all they wanted. She had never needed anything from them, so there was no reason for her to bend.
“People like you, with no backbone at all, are the ones who deserve to be looked down on.”
Summer’s face tightened. “Why do you have to humiliate me like this?”
Hearing Stella call her spineless filled Summer with a deep, burning sense of shame.
Yes.
She was spineless now.
But did she have a choice?
Would having a backbone solve anything?
Her mother was pressuring her.
Frank was pressuring her to protect the child.
Dora hit her whenever she was unhappy.
Everyone.
Everyone who had once spoiled her and protected her was now pressuring her, hurting her, and turning against her.
“If you were in my position, Stella, I’m not sure your spine would stay so straight either.”
Summer looked at Stella with tear-filled eyes and continued, “You won. You’ve completely won.”
“Because of your manipulation, I’ve been abandoned by everyone. Everyone who used to protect me has turned against me. I have nothing left.”
She had nothing left.
And Stella still would not let her go?
୮
Stella raised an eyebrow. “You’re wrong. This didn’t happen because I manipulated anything. It happened because you destroyed yourself.”
There was a clear smile in Stella’s voice when she said those words.
Summer’s heart gave a violent tremble.
“You…”
Before she could finish, Stella cut her off.
“Even if I hadn’t done any of this, once they found out about you and Frank, you would have ended up exactly where you are
now.

“Võta, your mother, Evan, and even Frank himself would all want you dead.”
Summer froze.
Stella’s words struck her hard.
Her face drained of every bit of color.
Stella was right.
Even Frank wanted her dead now.
Frank had once treated her so well.
And her own mother, because Summer had married Steven, had always doted on her too.
After Steven died, Ruby had kept telling her she had to stay in the Wright family for the long term.
And if she wanted to stay in the Wright family for the long term, Evan was the best path.
But once her affair with Frank was exposed, everyone would abandon her.
The Wright family would hate her.
Her mother would resent her.
Even Frank, who had once been so good to her, would blame her because Evan was now retaliating against the Holland family.
Everything was gone.
Wasn’t that exactly what was happening now?
