Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 990

What were they, really?

Stella could not finish the sentence.

She did not even know what else there was to say.

She had never expected things to turn out this way.

Nor had she wanted them to.

But what else could she do?

“Where are you?” Felix asked.

“Guess.”

Felix said nothing.

“Want to hear?”

Stella moved the phone away from her ear.

The fighting below had reached its most intense point.

The sounds carried clearly through the phone to Felix.

“You’re on Mance Island?”

His heart lurched when he heard the commotion.

She had truly lost her mind.

She had actually gone to Mance Island tonight.

Did she have any idea how dangerous it was there?

“Yes,” Stella replied. “I came to see for myself how your men are protecting that old man.”

“I also wanted to see just how determined you are to keep him alive.”

“You lied to me.”

She had told him she was in Seaborne.

Instead, she had gone to Mance Island.

Felix’s chest tightened.

Before he left Eirden, Aaron had already warned him that Stella was only trying to lure him away.

But Felix had still clung to the faintest possibility that she had told him the truth.

Deep down, he had known throughout the entire flight that she might be deceiving him.

Yet he had wanted to believe in that tiny possibility.

In the end, even that hope had failed him.

She truly had lied.

Felix intended to protect Litt.

Naturally, Stella would do everything in her power to help Amos bring him down.

“If you know that, why did you still go to Mance Island?” Felix demanded.

“To help Amos, of course.”

The line went silent again.

“Help him?” Felix asked incredulously. “Do you even hear what you’re saying?”

How could she possibly help Amos?

Stella had shown some ability in the past, but that had been limited to dealing with the Wright family and its internal conflicts.

General Litt was entirely different.

“So you’re allowed to protect Litt, but I’m not allowed to help Amos take him down?”

“You know that isn’t what I mean. This isn’t the Wright family. This isn’t something you can involve yourself in. You simply don’t…”

“Have the ability?” Stella cut in sharply.

Felix said nothing.

“I never realized how arrogant you were, Felix,” Stella said. “Underestimating someone comes at a price.”
