Stella paused and immediately thought of what had happened in the banquet her family had organized to welcome her back.
Nicole smiled, "Are you sure? What you're doing is much more than what I did." Leighton remained indifferent.
Nicole continued, "What I said still stands.
Whenever you figure out what you want, just let me know." Leighton just kept quiet, leaving Nicole unsure if he had heard her.
They were supposed to have a meal together, but it seemed impossible with Leighton in his current state.
Many reporters were looking for him to ask about his relationship, and it was not the right time for him to show up in public now.
So, he asked Stella and the others where they wanted to go and offered to take them there.
Felicity suggested returning to Clouditude International because she wanted to discuss the strategy with Vermont in the evening.
However, shortly after getting out of the car, Stella received a phone call.
It was from Wenham, and he sounded anxious and breathless, as if he could not breathe, "Stella, come home now.
Something's happened to Trevor." Suddenly, Stella's mind went blank.
"Dad, wh-what did you say?" Her voice trembled as she tried her best to maintain her composure.
Wenham wiped his face and said in a hoarse voice, "I received a call from the embassy in Mystonia, saying that the plane Trevor was on crashed into the sea.
The rescue team has been deployed, but they haven't located the specific crash site yet..." Stella's eyes reddened, "Dad, are you sure Trevor was on that plane?" Wenham's voice choked, "He gave me a call before boarding the plane and told me that he would be back the next morning." Stella's face turned pale because she had also received a call from Trevor just before he boarded the plane.
At that time, he mentioned that he had something to discuss with her after coming back.
Stella just could not believe that he ended up in a plane crash.
‘Could it be that he discovered something and was silenced?' Stella thought to herself.
The thought sent shivers down Stella's spine.
She felt chills all over her being.
She struggled to suppress her surging emotions and softly said, " Dad, I'll come home right away.
Let's book the earliest flight to Mystonia.
I'm sure that Trevor is fine." Felicity watched as tears welled up in Stella's eyes and dared not say a word until she ended the call.
"Stella, what happened?" she asked.
Stella replied softly, "My brother might be in trouble." Felicity's face turned pale.
Stella could not afford to waste any more time being sad.
She had to go to Mystonia as soon as possible to find out what exactly was happening.
