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.
