Spencer’s words were casual, but they triggered a moment of realization in Stella’s mind. She had a perplexing expression on her face, which made Spencer feel uneasy. He assumed she might have seen 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 as compensation for what happened back then.”
After waiting for a response that never came, Spencer turned around only to find that Stella had already 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 she were to return any later than that.
Stella returned with a scent of alcohol. This made her father and brother worried. However, she acted natural 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?” Wenham replied.
Stella nodded in response. “I promised Jaylene that I’d take her friends out for a good time. I want to ask her what time we should leave tomorrow.”
Wenham and Trevor exchanged glances, as they could not figure out what state Stella was in. She did not make a fuss and was resting and eating on time.
However, she was recovering too quickly, especially since the kidnapping had happened not too long ago.
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 the morning. 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 a little 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 a time like this?!” Trevor sighed and explained, “Dad, Stella isn’t as fragile as you think. If she had made a wrong move during her visit to Vinci Rivera today, the news headline would have highlighted the change 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 been drinking 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’re finding 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 all become 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 of them to Stella, the group set off.
Stella guided them to various well-known locations in Rivera. She displayed an unexpected enthusiasm during the trip that surprised Trevor.
In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. After a full day of exploring, everyone was tired. Following lunch, they lacked the energy to do anything else and returned to the hotel to get some rest. They planned to visit the night market later in the evenin
