The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 1177

The moment Keen O'Brien sensed something was wrong, the first person he called was Haynes.

News of Stella's disappearance had been deliberately kept under wraps by Haynes; it wasn't until this morning that the Williams family finally realized Stella was missing.

Stella instantly understood what Haynes was getting at.

Haynes hadn't hidden the news from the Williamses out of fear they'd try to take credit for finding her.

He was worried, rather, that they might use the situation as an opportunity to make sure Stella vanished from this world for good.
