Chapter 1296
Aaron was willing to come to her and negotiate, then all the better.
Aaron looked at the smile in Stella’s eyes and almost felt suffocated.
“You’re really going for the throat, aren’t you?”
“Take your time and think about it.”
Stella smiled.
“Although if Evan really is in Father’s hands, you probably don’t have much time.”
Aaron went silent.
She was right.
If Evan really had fallen into Michael’s hands, then forget not having much time.
By now, he might already…
“First find out whether he’s still alive.”
If Evan was with Michael, and Stella hadn’t asked a single question about him this morning, then she obviously wouldn’t know whether he was still alive either.
Stella raised an eyebrow.
“So you’re agreeing to my terms?”
“Ask first.”
Aaron practically ground the words out through his teeth.
Damn girl.
How had he never noticed before just how greedy she could be?
Those two regions contained a staggering number of mines.
“All right.”
Stella took out her phone, stepped aside, and called Michael.
He answered almost immediately.
“Stella.”
“Dad, is Evan still alive?”
“I don’t know.”
Stella paused.
Then she glanced toward Aaron.
“What do you mean?”
“He’s not with my people.”

Stella went still.
Michael didn’t have him?
Then what was Aaron panicking about?
And why had Evan suddenly become completely unreachable?
Still, if Michael said Evan wasn’t in his hands, then Stella had no reason to doubt him.
“Okay. I understand.”
“Aaron came to see you?”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t bother with him.”
The moment Michael realized Aaron had gone looking for Stella, his tone turned cold.
That bastard really had been thoroughly affected by Yara.
Stella smiled faintly.
“He offered me all the mines in his two northwestern regions in exchange for keeping Evan alive.”
Michael paused.
“All of them?”
“Yeah. I want all of them.”
“Did he agree?”
“I don’t know yet.”
But if Aaron was going to give them to her, Stella certainly wasn’t going to settle for anything less than everything.
Michael fell silent.
All those mines.
Aaron was willing to go that far for Yara?
After a moment, Michael said through gritted teeth,
“Make him transfer them to you first.”
“That’s exactly what I was thinking.”
Aaron probably hadn’t suffered many real losses in his life.
Since Yara mattered that much to him, Stella was more than happy to make sure this one hurt.
After ending the call with Michael, Stella walked back toward Aaron.
Aaron immediately asked,
“Well?”

“He’s with Father. He’s still alive.”
Alief visibly washed over Aaron.
Thank God.
Evan’s situation had kept everyone on edge since last night.
Aaron had barely slept.
