Chapter 199

"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 made her way to her car and found Jonathan.

"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:
