Chapter 808
The silence in the air only made Stella more uneasy.
She looked at Felix and asked, slowly and clearly, “Why?”
Yes.
Why?
Why had he helped Summer?
He knew.
He had seen how deeply Stella hated Summer.
No one in Harbor City had been able to stop her then.
Everyone knew Stella wanted Summer gone from her life for good.
That part of her past should have been over.
The moment she returned to Eirden, everything in Harbor City should have been left behind.
The Wright family was finished.
But Summer…
Summer, who should have disappeared from that chapter with everyone else, was now living in Crown
Bay.
And Felix had put her there.
“You helped Summer using Evan’s name.”
In the middle of Felix’s silence, Stella finally said the one thing that mattered most.
He had used Evan’s name.
The Crown Bay property was under Evan’s name.
What was she supposed to make of that?
Felix lifted his eyes to hers.
“So you think everything Evan did to hurt you was somehow connected to me?”
“You think I set him up?”
“Why did you use his name to help Summer?”
What happened before and what was happening now were two separate matters.

Stella could tell the difference.
She only wanted to know why Felix had helped Summer.
“Why did you help her?”
Why had he helped Summer under Evan’s name?
More than anything, why had he helped Summer at all?
“You already know why,” Felix said.
Stella went quiet.
Was he referring to Summer supposedly becoming his father’s mistress?
“I don’t believe that explanation.”
Her voice was soft.
Ever since learning Felix had helped Summer, she had been holding herself together by a thread.
Even knowing that confronting him might make him more guarded, she still asked.
She could not hold it in any longer.
“You don’t believe me?”
“I don’t.”
Stella said the words without hesitation.
She did not believe Felix had helped Summer for that reason.
“Then why do you think I did it?”
“I don’t know.”
If she knew, she would not have been suffering through all this uncertainty.
“Stella, I’m sorry about this,” Felix said. “But you need to believe that everything I felt for you in Harbor City was real.”
Stella said nothing.
Real?
Was this really the time to talk about his feelings?
She looked straight at him.
“Then make Summer leave Crown Bay.”

Chapter FOR
If he had helped Summer, then he could stop helping her.
If he made Summer leave now, Stella could at least try to convince herself to trust him.
But when she made that request, Felix’s expression darkened.
He did not answer.
Their eyes met.
And his silence made Stella’s chest tighten all over again.
“You can’t?”
