At Felix’s words, Evan’s temper finally snapped.
“Save it. You already lost her trust, and now you want me to destroy mine the same way. Felix, you really are vicious.”
“But that’s the situation you’re facing,” Felix replied. “So what are you going to do?”
The same situation?
No.
This was different.
Evan was being forced to choose between two people.
That cut far deeper than any question of power or profit.
Felix wanted to know who mattered more to Evan this time.
His own family?
Or Stella?
Felix hoped Evan would choose his sister.
If he did, Stella would be lost to him for good.
After that, no amount of shameless persistence would ever win her back.
Evan’s breathing turned ragged.
“I’m not making the trade.”
“You don’t need to tell me that,” Felix said. “Think it over carefully, then say it to Aaron.”
With that, Felix ended the call.
The moment Evan heard the line disconnect, he hurled his phone across the room.
It struck the wall and shattered.
“Don’t listen to Felix,” Amos said. “From what I can tell, Aaron may actually be serious about your sister.”
Aaron was not usually the type to treat marriage like a joke.
And this time, he had announced the wedding publicly and on a grand scale.
Countless powerful and influential guests would attend.
“You really think a man without a heart can be serious about anyone?” Evan asked.
Amos fell silent.
That was almost exactly what he had once thought about Aaron and Ivy.
