Chapter 413 Can't I Criticize You for Bringing up Sad Things?


Stellan was sitting in the car, feeling all kinds of jittery. She kept peeking out the window and saw Tommy stroll out of the airport first. His face was a total mystery-couldn't tell if it was good news or bad. Then Alaric showed up. Once they were both in the car, Alaric saw Stellan's worried face and chuckled. "What's with the long face? Think we had a brawl or something?"

"Even if you didn't throw punches, the vibe was off. What did you guys talk about?" Stellan asked.

"Not much, just told him to watch his back around Ambrose," Alaric said, starting the car.

"Ambrose is a snake. He'll do anything to get what he wants. If Tommy's as clueless as he looks, hanging with Ambrose will mess him up," Stellan said, still feeling a bit sorry for Tommy.

"If he's clueless, then no one's got a clue in this world," Alaric said, looking serious. "Galatea, I'm not trying to dig up old wounds. Just stating facts."

"Some folks are real good at hiding their true selves, like Ambrose back then. You were with him for years, and before the whole Storm Family mess, you didn't see his true colors at all." "Honestly, you trust Tommy 'cause he's Josep's kin, but a relative Josep hasn't talked to in years is basically a stranger."

"Galatea, trust me, my gut's never wrong. Tommy's not as simple as he seems. Now that he's gone, don't reach out to him, and definitely don't meet him alone."

Stellan still had chills from the last time she got kidnapped. Alaric was sure Tommy was tied to the shady group that framed the Storm Family, so he wasn't about to let Stellan near Tommy. "Got it," Stellan said, though she thought Alaric might be overthinking. But between Tommy and Alaric, she'd pick Alaric any day.

Even if Tommy got a raw deal, Alaric had made up his mind. If it came down to it, Stellan would ditch Tommy.
