Chapter 1852
Stella paused and immediately thought of what had happened in the banquet her family had organized to welcome her back.Nicole smiled, "Are you sure? What you're doing is much more than what | did."
Leighton remained indifferent.
Nicole continued, "What | said still stands. Whenever you figure out what you want, just let me know."
Leighton just kept quiet, leaving Nicole unsure if he had heard her.
They were supposed to have a meal together, but it seemed impossible with Leighton in his current state. Many reporters werelooking for him to ask about his relationship, and it was not the right time for him to show up in public now. So, he asked Stellaand the others where they wanted to go and offered to take them there.
Felicity suggested returning to Clouditude International because she wanted to discuss the strategy with Vermont in the evening.However, shortly after getting out of the car, Stella received a phone call.
It was from Wenham, and he sounded anxious and breathless, as if he could not breathe, "Stella, come home
now. Something's happened to Trevor.”
Suddenly, Stella's mind went blank.
"Dad, wh-what did you say?" Her voice trembled as she tried her best to maintain her composure.
Wenham wiped his face and said in a hoarse voice, "I received a call from the embassy in Mystonia, saying that the plane Trevorwas on crashed into the sea. The rescue team has been deployed, but they haven't located the specific crash site yet..."novelbin
Stella's eyes reddened, "Dad, are you sure Trevor was on that plane?”Wenham's voice choked, "He gave me a call before boarding the plane and told me that he would be back the next morning."
Stella's face turned pale because she had also received a call from Trevor just before he boarded the plane. At that time, hementioned that he had something to discuss with her after coming back. Stella just could not believe that he ended up in a planecrash.
‘Could it be that he discovered something and was silenced? ' Stella thought to herself.The thought sent shivers down Stella's spine. She felt chills all over her being.
She struggled to suppress her surging emotions and softly said, "Dad, I'll come home right away. Let's book the earliest flight toMystonia. I'm sure that Trevor is fine."
Felicity watched as tears welled up in Stella's eyes and dared not say a word until she ended the call. "Stella, what happened?"she asked.
Stella replied softly, "My brother might be in trouble."Felicity's face turned pale.
Stella could not afford to waste any more time being sad. She had to go to Mystonia as soon as possible to find out what exactlywas happening.
When she arrived back at the Saun residence, Wenham was on a call with the embassy.Stella dared not speak as she listened to their conversation from the side.
The rescue team had found some wreckage, essentially confirming the crash site. However, they had not located anyone fromthe plane.
With a pale face, Wenham thanked the person on the phone and pleaded for them to spare no effort in the search, regardless ofthe cost.
Jaylene wiped her tears as she stood by the side, and Darcie's eyes were also red. Stella did not dare cry as she feared that thistowering pillar in front of her would collapse if she did.
After hanging up, Wenham recollected himself and said," I've booked a flight at 8 p.m. to Mystonia tonight. I'll go check things outfirst. Wait for my updates at home."
Jaylene said, "Dad, how can you go alone? I'll come with you. | have friends in Mystonia; they might be able to help.”
Darcie chimed in, "Let Jaylene accompany you. I'm still feeling a little unwell and can't get on a plane. If there's anything youneed to do, Jaylene can help you with it. It's good to have someone to look after you too. She and Trevor grew up together. If youdon't let her go, she'll be very worried here."
Jaylene sobbed softly, "Trevor said he would be back last night but insisted on buying the Venus Pearl. If he hadn't gone to buythat, he wouldn't have boarded the plane a day later and gotten caught in this plane crash."
Stella clenched her fists.
When they were eating together, Trevor asked Stella about her favorite jewelry, and she said Venus Pearl. A week later, Trevorgifted her a box of top-grade Venus Pearl; the whole family knew about it.
By bringing this up, it was obvious that Jaylene blamed Stella for making Trevor buy her the Venus Pearl, consequently leadingto the tragedy.
Stella looked at Jaylene coldly and said in a deep voice," Jaylene, the black box hasn't even been found yet. No one knowswhere Trevor is now or what the cause of the plane crash is. How can you be so sure that it happened due to weatherconditions? Do you have the ability to predict the future?"
Jaylene was taken aback. Then, she said with her eyes red,"
That's our family's plane. It undergoes maintenance every time before flying and has never experienced a malfunction. It must bean external factor that caused the crash."
Stella raised her cold gaze, "Can't it be an intentional sabotage?"
