Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 918

Stella fell silent.

There was something fragile in that silence.

She wanted nothing more to do with Evan.

There had even been countless moments when she wished he would die.

But not like this.

If he died because he had taken the blame for her, that burden would be far too heavy for her to carry.

“What’s wrong?” Remi asked. “Worried about him?”

A cold glint immediately returned to Stella’s eyes.

“It’s only natural to worry,” Remi continued. “Evan could handle Mr. Hernandez or your brother. General Litt is the real danger.”

She paused before adding, “And if Litt does kill him, maybe Evan will finally have repaid everything he owes you.”

Stella said nothing.

Settled?

No.

It could never be settled that easily.

“There were plenty of times when I wanted him dead,” Stella said. “Do you really think that would make us even?”

“How badly did he hurt you for you to hate him this much?” Remi asked. “You must have loved him deeply once.”

Stella went completely silent.

Loved him?

Perhaps she had, in the beginning.

But no love, no matter how intense, could survive years of being worn down.

The entire Wright family had drained her until she had nothing left to give.

In the end, even her love for Evan had disappeared beneath all that pain.

When Stella did not answer, Remi stopped pressing her.

She only said, “Let’s hope he makes it back alive tonight.”

Her words made the danger feel even more real.

Stella glanced at her and parted her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

She hoped Evan would survive too.

At least tonight.

At least he should not die because of her.

…

After that, Stella’s resentment toward Felix and Aaron only deepened.

“Is he still alive?”

Stella’s voice dropped so low that she could barely hear herself.

That day, Evan had told her that if he did not return, Amos’s people would take her somewhere no one knew her.

Remi worked for Amos.

And now she wanted to take Stella to Sevi Valley.

Did that mean Evan was never coming back?

Remi looked at her without answering.

“Is that such a difficult question?”

“Evan told you not to worry about any of this,” Remi said. “He wants you to live well and be happy.”

Stella gave a hollow laugh.

Live well and be happy?

What exactly was Evan trying to leave her with now?

“He was responsible for Summer’s death,” Remi added. “So don’t overthink what happened with General Litt. He wasn’t taking the blame for you.”

Evan truly had ordered Summer’s death.

Stella closed her eyes, the pressure in her chest becoming almost unbearable.
