Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 923

Go inside?

What was waiting for her in there?

Stella closed her eyes briefly.

“Is Aaron home?”

Aaron.

That was all he was to her now.

'Brother' was no longer a word she could bring herself to use.

Even knowing she had no real power to resist, some part of her still wanted to draw whatever distance she could between them.

It was a futile kind of defiance.

Back in Harbor City, she had fought with claws bared.

Now she felt like nothing more than a trapped animal.

“Mr. Hogarth is waiting for you in the study,” Gray replied.

Stella said nothing.

She stood there in silence for a long time.

Only when another cold gust swept past did she finally start walking.

No matter how much she hated it, she had still returned to the place that made her feel suffocated.

When Stella entered the study, Aaron was on the phone.

“Tie her up,” he ordered coldly. “That’s all.”

Then he ended the call.

He turned toward Stella, his expression stern.

But the moment he saw the broken look in her eyes, that severity softened.

She was still his sister.

No matter how angry he became, he could never truly harden his heart against her.

“Come here,” Aaron said.

Stella ignored him and walked straight to the sofa instead.

She sat down without even looking his way.

Aaron fell silent.

The helplessness in his eyes deepened.

“So you really are furious this time.”

Stella did not respond.

“It’s all right. You’re simply not used to this world yet. Once you’ve lived through more of it, you’ll understand that these things are normal.”

To people like Aaron, they were normal.

Stella was the one who did not belong.

She had never lived this way before.

“Every decision I’ve made over the years was carefully considered.”

Whether it concerned Evan or the Hogarth family, Stella had never acted without thinking.

She was calm now too.

Especially now.

The more the Hogarth family tried to control her, the more determined she became to protect herself.

“For the sake of whatever family ties we once had, can you and Felix just let me go?”

“You already got what you wanted.”

Her voice was controlled.

She was still trying to reason with him.

As she had said, this was her at her calmest.

She was perfectly capable of being far less calm.

Aaron studied her.

“Evan’s death seems to have affected you more than I expected.”

Stella froze.

Death.

The word struck her with brutal force.
