Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341: 341-I See The Cracks Now

Verity:

"If that were the case, there probably would’ve been some sign of a struggle," I said quickly. "I know Gigi is gentle and feminine, but she can be fierce when she has to defend herself. She wouldn’t have gone quietly."

I continued before anyone could dwell on the possibility.

"And if someone had abducted her, they would’ve done something about her phone or GPS. They wouldn’t just leave everything intact in the car."

I wanted the kidnapping theory shut down immediately.

The last thing I wanted was for Gigi to gain that kind of sympathy.

"Anyway, the problem is that earlier, we were still able to track her GPS and follow it this far. But now that we’re here, where do we go next?"

I glanced at Jaguar.

Ragnar remained silent, but he looked incredibly restless, constantly running his hands through his hair.

For a moment, he seemed to zone out.

Then Theodore looked at me before straightening his posture.

"You need to go home," Ragnar told me harshly.

"Brother, it’s okay. She’s only trying to help. Her intelligence could actually be useful. Look at the points she just made," Jaguar quickly defended me.

Theodore nodded in agreement.

"Don’t tell me whose intelligence I need and whose I don’t," Ragnar snapped. "Tell her to go home."

"Brother, you can’t do that. She’s not a child."

It was the first time I had ever seen Theodore openly disagree with Ragnar, and certainly the first time he had done it so loudly.

Ragnar actually did a double take.

I noticed Theodore secretly clench his fists, probably because Ragnar’s angry stare was enough to make him nervous.

But at least he didn’t back down.

And I certainly wasn’t going to volunteer to leave.

I wanted Theodore and Jaguar to argue with Ragnar over me.

Why would I try to resolve tension between the brothers when I could let it grow instead?

"Well, then she’ll have to tolerate whatever insults come her way herself," Ragnar replied.

For a second, I thought he was threatening me.

Apparently, Theodore and Jaguar thought the same thing because both of them looked offended.

"I never expected something this petty from you, Ragnar," Theodore said after a brief pause.

Jaguar’s eyes widened.

Even Ragnar looked genuinely hurt.

Theodore had taken a very clear stand for me.

But it turned out that all three of us had misunderstood what Ragnar meant.

I realized that the moment someone tapped my shoulder so harshly that it barely felt like a tap at all.

I turned around.

Everything happened within seconds.

Stella Hill stood behind me, glaring.

Before I could say anything, she lifted her hand and struck me across the face.

I could have stopped the slap.

I chose not to.

The second her palm landed against my cheek, I let my body go limp. My injured foot was already hurting, so I stumbled and nearly fell before a pair of arms caught me.

Jaguar held me upright while Theodore immediately stepped between Stella and me.

"What the fuck did you do that for?" Theodore shouted.

Stella covered her mouth, visibly startled by the force of his reaction.
