Chapter 394 394: He made his move. He took her away

While Kaden excused himself to speak with Luke, Stefan stepped aside to answer a call from Ella. Meanwhile, Eveline and Gabriel waited patiently for any news.

Eveline couldn't help but doubt whether Luke would be able to uncover the information Stefan, with all his skills, had failed to obtain. Still, she clung to the hope that things might finally swing in their favor.

A few moments later, Stefan returned, his expression grave.

"Ella just called. Aunt Mischelle reached out to her again — and this time, she said, Jedrick is planning to move Valeria to his mansion."

The news left Eveline momentarily stunned, her mind struggling to process the revelation. Confusion soon crept into her features.

"That doesn't make sense," she murmured, shaking her head slightly. "He'd never risk keeping her somewhere so obvious."

Stefan could only offer a helpless shrug, though his confidence in Ella's words was unwavering.

"I don't know either," he admitted, "but if Ella says so, I believe it. If it's true, this could be a major move on his part."

As the weight of Stefan's words settled over them, Kaden and Luke returned, his expression just as serious, holding onto the pieces of information Eveline had asked him to find.
