The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 507

The moment Abby saw who had arrived, her smile froze.

"Mr. Connolly."

Neville glanced around the room. "Star's not back yet?"

Abby shook her head, a flicker of worry in her eyes. "I've tried calling her over and over-she never picks up. But the phone's still on; it's not switched off."

She looked at Neville, her voice tight. "Mr. Connolly, you haven't heard from Star either?"

For once, Neville's expression turned serious. "You all go ahead with the show. I'll check the security cameras."

He was just about to leave when a small hand caught the sleeve of his coat. Neville turned to find Marvin looking up at him, eyes wide and pleading.

"Dad, Stella's going to be okay, right?"

Neville ruffled Marvin's hair gently. "Star's going to be fine. I promise."

"Swear you'll help me find her, Dad.”

Neville's voice was low and steady. "I promise. I'll bring her back."
