Chapter 1253 Sowing Discord

"If he trusts you, would he keep you in the dark about who Rory is and where he's hidden?" I risked it all.

"But Stella knows. In his eyes, you can't even be compared to a woman. Yet you're sacrificing everything for him. What exactly has Navi given you in return for such loyalty? Is it worth risking your life for him?" I struck his sore spot because I was certain it was what he cared about most. Sure enough, he turned to me abruptly, pointing a finger at me. "How dare you try to sow discord between us?"

His expression changed quickly, making me nervous.

"If you had been as loyal to him back then as you are to Navi now, you would have risen to prominence in the Huffman family. At the very least, you would have been the top commander, with everyone else beneath you.

"But what about now? You're nothing, yet you dare say Navi trusts you? You dare say he hasn't used you? Then tell me, where is Rory? Do you know? He only trusts two people with that information, and you're not one of them." I hit him where it hurt.

"In the basement of his main hall. Of course, I know," Millard retorted defiantly.

My heart raced violently at his words. I was ecstatic, feeling like I was on fire.

"Even if you know where he's hiding Rory, can you get in there? Do you know the secrets about Rory? Stella does."

"That's because he raised Ms. Stella since she was young!" he yelled.
