“I can’t meet you just yet. I’ll get back to you when I can,” I said, ready to end the call.

“Don’t agree to anything with Russel Dawson!” Neil’s voice rang out just as I was about to disconnect, sounding unusually urgent.

I was taken aback, Had Neil predicted that Russel would make me an offer?

For a moment, my heart felt heavy. An absurd thought popped into my mind.

Should I visit Bonnie in prison and ask her what she would do, if she were in my shoes?

I stood alone on the balcony for a while until my phone rang again, bringing me back to reality.

“Rena, have the Whitmores and the Dawsons really started a feud?” Stella’s voice was filled with shock. “What on earth happened? Is it about you?”

“I’m not sure. How did you find out about this?” I asked, somewhat dazed.

“Mitch called me. A lot of details are still unclear, but he’s certain that there’s a major issue between Neil and Russel. He asked me to contact you…” Stella sounded awkward. “I didn’t want to get involved, but he kept bothering me, so I thought I’d ask you.”

Mitch was currently in Eldoria and couldn’t come back.

I was in a state of chaos myself and hadn’t even seen Russel yet. “Stella, let’s talk about this when I have a clearer picture. Do you know what’s happening with the Dawsons? Have you heard anything while staying in Rosemont?”

Stella thought for a moment before answering, “Russel’s father, Samuel Dawson, seems to have stepped down, but I’m not sure about the rest. I’ve been too busy with the baby.”

Had Samuel really handed over the company to his son so soon? Unless something was wrong with his health, he wouldn’t do this, especially since Russel had been a doctor and had only briefly worked at the company. He wasn’t ready to shoulder such a huge responsibility yet.
