Chapter 969
Lucas kept talking as they sat in the car.
Leon remained silent.
Every word struck too close to home, leaving him with no way to respond.
Eventually, he could not take it anymore.
“That’s enough. Stop talking.”
If Lucas continued, Leon felt as though his chest would be ripped open.
He did not want to hear another word.
Lucas glanced at him.
“You already can’t take it?”
Leon said nothing.
Of course he did not want to listen.
The truth was too painful.
Things between him and Jennifer had already left him feeling hopeless. Hearing Lucas repeatedly tell him there was no future between them only made it worse.
“Stella and Felix have fallen apart too,” Lucas continued. “Women today aren’t going to quietly accept being mistreated.”
“If you think you can keep Jennifer beside you by taking away her freedom, give it up.”
“Who said I was trying to enslave her?”
“Then what do you call this?” Lucas shot back. “You’re ignoring what she wants and keeping her there against her will.”
Jennifer did not want to be with Leon anymore.
Yet he had made it impossible for her to resist or leave.
What was that, if not imprisonment?
Leon’s already uneven breathing grew harsher.
“Stella is definitely going to help her,” Lucas added.
Everyone knew how close Stella and Jennifer were.
With Jennifer trapped like this, Stella would never stand by and do nothing.
And Stella herself could not be underestimated.
She might have fallen out with Felix and the Hogarth family, but she still had plenty of power and resources of her own.
If she decided to help Jennifer, Leon would not be able to stop her.
The thought made Leon even more frustrated.
Why had he stationed so many people at the villa?
To stop Jennifer from doing anything that might end the pregnancy.
And to keep the Redson family away from her.
Just thinking about his mother’s attitude toward Jennifer made his head ache.
Even after Lucas’s lecture, Leon still failed to see clearly.
People were often like that.
It was easy to recognize someone else’s mistakes.
But once the same thing happened to them, they became blind to their own actions.
Leon was no différent.
When Evan had mistreated Stella, Leon had known Evan was wrong.
But now that he was in the same position himself, he could no longer see it.
After Lucas left, Leon tried to contact Stella.

In Sevi Valley, Stella was reviewing the latest intelligence about the shipment from the Black Sea.
Her expression grew colder with every page.
She had always known Evan’s death was connected to Felix and Aaron.
But seeing the evidence laid out in front of her was different.
Especially when she learned that the shipment they had fought over had ultimately ended up in Felix and Aaron’s hands.

She called Felix.
“The shipment ended up with you and Aaron, didn’t it?”
Silence filled the line.
“When Litt was trying to kill Evan, you and Aaron helped him.”

There had been countless times when she had wanted him dead.
But she could not accept that he
