Chapter 674
That night, Felix took Stella out for another good meal.
On the way back, Felix took Stella’s hand. “Do you have to go to the Wright estate?”
He did not use the word “return.”
In his eyes, that place had never been Stella’s home.
So he used “go.”
Stella instinctively tried to pull her hand out of his broad palm, but his grip tightened.
She failed to pull her hand free, and an unnatural heat rose through her body.
“I have to go. There isn’t much time left, after all. I don’t want them to have it too easy in these final days.‘
She had said it before.
She wanted her presence at the old estate to become the very source of their torment.
She wanted them to feel that suffocating pressure at every moment.
Felix asked, “How much longer?”
“Not long,” Stella said.
“Will Evan agree to those terms?”
Those terms.
The most excessive demand Stella had made.
She wanted the entire Wright Group.
In Felix’s view, with Evan’s temper, there was no way he would hand it over.
What Felix wanted now was for Stella to end things with Evan completely.
And he could help her destroy the entire Wright Group directly.
Since she hated Wright Group so much, why did she need to obtain it?
Destroying it would be the same.
But Stella refused.
She said Wright Group’s existence also carried her mother’s blood.
Stella said, “Even if he doesn’t want to agree, the rest of the Wright family will break first.
“Maybe the Wright family doesn’t want him to give Wright Group to me right now, but very soon, they’ll be the ones pushing for it.”
The Wright family did not agree right now
Wasn’t that why they were still struggling?
They did not agree because they had not suffered enough yet.
Once they had suffered enough, they would break before Evan did.
Felix gave her soft hand a gentle squeeze. “You sly little fox.”
What she had done to the Wright family during this period looked like brute force on the surface.
But in reality, every step was dismantling the entire Wright family from within.
Just as she had said.
Even if Evan did not want Wright Group to fall in his hands and refused to hand it over to Stella, the rest of the Wright family might not be able to hold on as long as he could.
The Wright family would probably break before Evan did.
Stella said, “Foxes are used to describe cunning people. I’m not cunning.”
“You’re not cunning? You had so many things in your hands, yet Evan knew nothing about them.”
He liked the cleverness inside that little head of hers.
Even when she had married Evan, even when things had been at their best between them, she had never though of handing all her cards over to him.
At the very least, Evan had known nothing about many of the studios and biotech companies under her name.
If he had known…
When things first started falling apart, with Evan’s personality, he probably would not have been so passive.
They arrived at the Wright estate.
Just as Stella was about to get out of the car, Felix caught her wrist.
Stella turned back. “What is it?”
Felix said, “Jennifer will come over later to keep you company.
“Thanks to you, Jennifer even had lunch with me today.”
