Chapter 652

Foreman had spoken up for Stella more than once, which made both Jasper and Haynes label him the "nice guy" of the group.

But something about it always felt off to Rachel. Now she finally understood why.

"Joshua, did you hear anything else?" Rachel asked. "Is Stella planning something against me?"

Joshua glanced at her. "I haven't heard her mention anything of the sort. Honestly,

it seems like she's pouring all her energy into organizing the concert."

In other words, Stella hadn't even bothered to spare Rachel a thought.

Rachel had clearly overestimated her own importance.

To Stella, Rachel barely even registered compared to her music.

Rachel's face tightened. "Are you sure, Joshua? Maybe she's plotting behind your back and you just haven't heard?"

Joshua looked down at her from his impressive height. "Rachel, you keep insisting she wants to hurt you, but after all this time, aside from you conveniently getting yourself hurt a few times, she hasn't actually done anything to you."

Even that time someone fell into the lake, it had been Rachel who pushed Stella first.
