"What the hell do you mean by that?" Thomas asked, stepping forward. "That's impossible!"

"Do not yell at my wife!" Silas snapped.

For a moment, ivy thought the tension would escalate, that the Stone brothers might go at each other's throats in a room full of strangers.

She bit her lip, silently scolding herself for rushing in, especially when the atmosphere was still so tense.

"What happened?" Wade asked, turning to her.

Theresa had sounded angry on the phone, but Ivy had also heard exhaustion in her voice. She had been excited to get a call from her, only for it to be filled with frustration and distress.

"Where did she say it happened?" Silas asked.

"On her street," Ivy replied.

"Let's go."

"Hey, we're waiting for Silas," she told him, climbing in.

After a few minutes, Silas gave the signal to begin. Ivy's two vehicles followed behind his convoy.

Ivy tapped the edge of her phone against her palm, her heart leaping with fear. How had Theresa ended up beating someone up? It was so unlike her.

The anxiety gnawed at her and so did curiosity/Before she could control herself,

she unlocked her phone and searched for Theresa Stone.

The headlines made her heart drop:
