The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 550

Neville's voice was deep and steady.

"Don't worry. I'll send people to help right away."

Haynes, standing nearby, watched Stella's anxious movements. His brow furrowed, but in the end, he said nothing to stop her.

Without hesitation, Stella dialed Mr. Burton.

The moment he heard her, Mr. Burton's tone grew serious. He immediately arranged for people to join the search.

After making her rounds of calls, Stella's face showed no sign of relief.

From the rearview mirror, Haynes shot a glance at Joshua, his voice cool and detached.

"You're sure it's safe for him to come along?"

Stella caught the implication in Haynes' words and replied calmly, "It's fine. He doesn't even have a phone right now."

Even if Joshua had approached her with an ulterior motive, there was no way for him to tip anyone off at the moment.
