Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1830

Josiah snorted with a sneer, "Good luck having any say in what happens once you're there!"

Amiee glared at him, irritation flaring in her gaze. "Can't you ever say something positive? If you've got nothing nice to say, then zip it!"

A tightness clutched at Josiah's chest, and he furrowed his brow in pain before rising to get some fresh air on the balcony.

If he'd known it would be like this, he would've wished for fewer assignments, not more.

"Didn't you used to work under Gab? Aren't you worried about blowing your cover if you go back now?" Amiee questioned.

Estelle's voice was calm, detached. "I won't be recognized. Not many have seen my face, and those from Wolverine's gang who did are mostly pushing up daisies thanks to me."

"So, when do we make our move?" Amiee asked.

"After Magdalen's wedding. The last time, her wedding got canned because of me. I can't be the cause of any more delays for her," Estelle replied.

Amiee nodded. "Is there anything you need from me in the meantime?"

"Yes," Estelle said. "I'm heading back to C City tomorrow. You'll come with me. We'll probably stay a couple of days."

Without hesitation, Amiee agreed. "Sure thing."

"We'll set off at nine in the morning."

"No problem."

Estelle smiled faintly. "Alright, that's all for now. It's late; take Josiah and get some rest."

Suddenly, Josiah stepped forward. "I'm coming with you. No matter what, I have to be there!"

Estelle regarded him coolly. "Remember the agreement you signed when you joined Eagle Valley?"

Josiah's face went pale, his teeth clenched. "I'm not representing Goshawk. I'm going to protect you for Jonah's sake!"

"People will be there to meet me. Your presence might just complicate things," Estelle stated with a resolute gaze. "Follow orders, trust Snow Hawk without question. No rogue actions!"

Amiee stared out into the night. "Even so, we have to trust her."

Josiah's eyes were cold. "What's the boss taking you to C City for?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably to throw Jonah off the scent," Amiee speculated.

Josiah's expression darkened. "If Jonah finds out, I can't even begin to imagine his reaction."

The next morning, Estelle and Amiee set off for C City. By evening, when Jonathan video-called her, she was already at the Jarvis residence.

Estelle explained that her work with the film crew was done and that she was spending a few days with her grandfather at home.

Jonathan, of course, suspected nothing.

Magdalen's wedding was fast approaching, and the Sampson family was all hands on deck with the celebrations. It was a couple of days before Magdalen even realized that both Estelle and Jonathan were absent from J City.
