Chapter 1959
“Got it. I won’t spill the beans, and don’t let Keegan know I asked you about this,” said Stella.
“I would never. He’ll be the first to come knocking if he knows that I talked to you. Back then, he was the one helping Marshall’s mom silence people like us. I’m sticking my neck out here just telling you all this. So, don’t screw me over,” Vermont replied.
Felicity sneered, “Look at you, all weak-kneed. Is Keegan gonna eat you alive?”
“You go up against him if you’re so brave,” Vermont said.
Felicity hesitated for a moment, suddenly recalling the time when Keegan landed her in the slammer. She cleared her throat and said, “He hasn’t crossed me. Why the hell would I go up against him?”
Vermont laughed and taunted, “You’re just a little chicken. The only person you dare mess with is me.”
Stella left the group voice call and dropped a WhatsApp message to Detective Karl, whom she hadn’t contacted in a long time. [Can we meet up?]
Detective Karl shot back instantly. [I don’t provide additional services after the deal is closed.]
His response left Stella taken aback. [It’s not about the previous matter. It’s fresh business.]
[What kind of business?] Detective Karl asked.
Stella wanted him to find more information about the driver and passenger in the cab that collided with them previously.
There was a long silence on Detective Karl’s end.
Getting a bit antsy, Stella sent another message, [I’ll triple the commission.]
However, it did not go through.
