Chapter 1667
Spencer’s words were casual, but they triggered a moment of realization in Stella’s mind. She had aperplexing expression on her face, which made Spencer feel uneasy. He assumed she might haveseen through his thoughts, and he felt reluctant to meet her gaze.
Spencer turned his face away and feigned indifference.” Take your time to consider. We can treat it ascompensation for what happened back then.”novelbin
After waiting for a response that never came, Spencer turned around only to find that Stella hadalready gotten into a cab.
When he was about to rush over, Stella had already closed the door, and the car sped away.
Spencer’s mouth twitched, and he cursed, “You heartless woman!”
Stella arrived home around 9:00 p.m. Wenham and Trevor were about to go out and look for her if shewere to return any later than that.
Stella returned with a scent of alcohol. This made her father and brother worried. However, she actednatural and asked,” Dad, is Jaylene back yet?”
“Yes, she finished dinner and went to her room. Is there a reason why you’re looking for her?” Wenhamreplied.
Stella nodded in response. “I promised Jaylene that I’d take her friends out for a good time. I want toask her what time we should leave tomorrow.”
Wenham and Trevor exchanged glances, as they could not figure out what state Stella was in. She didnot make a fuss and was resting and eating on time.
However, she was recovering too quickly, especially since the kidnapping had happened not too longago.
Although it was strange, there seemed to be an improvement.
Before they could say anything, Jaylene’s voice came from upstairs. “We can leave around nine in themorning. If you think it’s too early, then ten is fine. I can inform my friends.”
Stella smiled and said, “Let’s stick with nine.’ “Trevor can drive you two tomorrow,” Wenham suggested.
Both Jaylene and Stella did not oppose the idea.
After both of his daughters went upstairs, Wenham whispered to his son, “Do you think Stella’s acting alittle strange? When Jaylene invited her out back then, she always found excuses to decline. But now,she’s actively offering to take Jaylene’s friends out. Has she gone mad from grief?”
“I don’t know,” Trevor frowned. “Why don’t we take her to the hospital for a CT scan?”
Wenham’s mouth twitched, and he kicked Trevor’s shin. “ How can you possibly be making jokes at atime like this?!” Trevor sighed and explained, “Dad, Stella isn’t as fragile as you think. If she had madea wrong move during her visit to Vinci Rivera today, the news headline would have highlighted thechange in ownership of the company.”
Wenham was still not reassured. “But she went out to drink as soon as she came out, and she’s beendrinking until now. Keep a close eye on her tomorrow.”
“What about Keegan? Do we still search for him?”
“Of course! We need to find him; dead or alive. I don’t care if the Kane family has given up. We’refinding him.”
“If Keegan is alive, would you immediately agree to their marriage?” Trevor asked.
“What’s there to disagree with? As long as your sister wants to marry him, I’d give her my blessing.”Wenham sighed,” Isn’t it peculiar that the wives in the Kane family from three different generations allbecome widows?”
Trevor did not reply.
The following day, the three siblings went out to pick up Jaylene’s classmates early in the morning.
Stella originally thought that Jaylene’s friends might be foreigners, but they were all Hustuabourgians.
The group consisted of five people, including both males and females. After Jaylene introduced each ofthem to Stella, the group set off.
