Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 912

“Worried about me?” Evan teased. “Planning to help? Felix and your brother are the ones coming after me tonight.”

“Get out!”

The moment Stella saw that cocky expression return, her face turned cold again.

Help him?

He could dream.

And worried about him?

She could never feel that way about him again.

Not in this lifetime.

Evan smiled and left.

Not long afterward, a young woman named Remi came to Stella’s room.

“Evan instructed me to stay with you at all times from now on.”

Stella looked at her.

Stay with her?

“You mean watch me?”

Her voice was filled with sarcasm.

These days, nothing irritated her more than hearing that someone had been assigned to remain at her side.

The same thing had happened when she returned to Eirden.

Felix and Aaron had done it back in Harbor City too.

Had those people truly been there to protect her?

“No,” Remi replied. “I’m here to keep you safe.”

There it was again.

Always the same excuse.

But in reality, it was surveillance.

As long as their people stayed beside her, every move she made remained under their control.

“I don’t need protection.”

“Don’t waste your breath. Given your current situation, you don’t get to refuse.”

Stella fell silent.

Wonderful.

Apparently, Evan’s people did not even bother pretending to respect her choices.

But Remi was not wrong.

At this point, everything happening to Stella was simply something she had to endure.

…

After leaving Stella’s room, Evan got straight into Amos’s car.

“I assigned Remi to protect her,” Amos said.

And there was something else.

If she truly had some meaningful connection to a man that powerful, then given her personality, she would have used it when Stella was making her life miserable.

But she never had.

Why?

“The exact reason is proving difficult to uncover,” Amos admitted.

That was what made the whole thing so frustrating.

The investigation had gone nowhere.

Amos had never expected to encounter something even he could not dig up.

When Evan heard him admit that, he gave him an incredulous look.

“What are you looking at me like that for?” Amos asked.

“It’s rare to hear you admit there’s something you can’t uncover.”

“I’m human, not a god.”

Just because Amos had been exceptionally good at gathering information before did not mean he could uncover every secret in existence.

What kind of people was he surrounded by?

“Find out as soon as possible,” Evan said.

“I will.”
