Chapter 97
Give it back to Stella?
Absolutely not.
Anything they had already taken from her, they weren’t returning a single piece.
“Return it? Over my dead body,” Fiona snapped. “Evan smashed my face in because of her!”
Dora nodded immediately, furious.
Technically, it was Evan who had hurled the ashtray and injured Fiona.
But in Dora’s mind, it all traced back to Stella.
They had gone to confront her over Ruby’s burned house.
They hadn’t even gotten a single word out before Evan smashed the ashtray into Fiona’s face and ended it right there.
“She finally showed her true colors,” Fiona hissed. “All that pretending she didn’t care about money. In the end, she just wanted the Wright family’s wealth.”
“Exactly,” Dora agreed coldly. “Which is precisely why we won’t give it back.”
“She can forget it.”
Before Fiona could continue, Dora’s phone rang.
It was Patrick.
Her face darkened instantly.
She answered with clear irritation.
“Speak.”
“Madam, are you and Miss Wright at the hospital? I’ll be there shortly with a lawyer.”
The word ‘lawyer’ made Dora explode.
“For what?”
“There are some documents that require your signatures.”
Dora’s voice rose sharply.
୮
“You tell Evan this, don’t even think about it. If Stella didn’t want what belonged to the Wright family before, she won’t be getting it now.”
She hung up before Patrick could respond.
“This is outrageous. Absolutely outrageous!
“She’s been stirring up all this chaos just to claw everything back. That’s what this has been about.”

Fiona agreed fiercely.
That fake, saintly mask of Stella’s-
Finally gone.
Before Dora could calm down-
The phone rang again.
Same number.
She answered with visible annoyance.
“I already said we’re not returning anything.”
“If returning it makes the public pressure disappear?”
The voice wasn’t Patrick.
It was Evan.
Cold.
Controlled.
Dora’s breathing stalled.
“So now we’re supposed to give in to her?” she snapped.
“She’s nothing. No background. No power. And we’re bending to her?”
Evan’s voice remained steady.
“If we don’t, you’ve seen what happens.”
Silence.
The reality of the situation hung heavily between them.
Public opinion had already turned brutal.
Evan’s eyes darkened as he spoke again, his tone unmistakably commanding.
“Patrick will arrive with the lawyer shortly.”
Dora gritted her teeth.
“If we sign, all this noise stops. Is that what she promised?”
“Sign first,” he said. “Then it stops.”
The line went quiet.
Dora’s anger burned hot and useless.
That girl
