The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 1178

The Williams family had gathered under one roof, all because of Stella's disappearance.

Israel Williams couldn't hide his anger. "Stella's been missing for two whole days right under our noses, and we're only just finding out now!" As he spoke, he glanced upstairs and let out a cold, dismissive scoff. "And it's all because that ungrateful brat kept covering for her. If it weren't for him, we would've known much sooner. Like mother, like son-utterly heartless, the both of them."

Skyler and Jonathan Williams's faces hardened at his words.

"Enough, Israel!" Jonathan snapped.

Aurora Williams spoke up as well, her tone sharper than usual. "Second brother, Keen is just a child. Don't take it out on him." Skyler had already made it clear to everyone—the grudges between the adults should never involve Keen.

He himself had once been ruthless in his youth, but age had tempered his edges. He simply couldn't bring himself to be so cold-blooded anymore, especially not toward a child. No matter what happened, he would never let anyone harm Keen.

Coleman Williams broke the silence. "The people we sent to investigate just called. Apparently, Stella and her bodyguard were ambushed. Judging by the evidence at the scene, the attackers weren't from Solmaris."
