Now that Stella had already left Eirden, Aaron had no choice but to demand her return directly from Amos.
“She doesn’t want to go back,” Amos said. “You should respect her decision.”
“I’m not wasting time arguing with you.”
“Keep pushing me, and I really will kill her.”
“Then think carefully about what will happen to your family…”
“Stop.”
The moment Amos heard the word family, he ended the call.
So that was how Aaron intended to handle this?
He was going to come at Amos with brute force?
Furious, Amos paced back and forth across the room.
Eventually, he headed straight for the medical wing.
The moment he walked in, he saw a man lying there, almost completely wrapped in bandages.
It was Evan.
Evan was conscious, but he could barely move.
Looking at him, Amos could not help saying, “I’m starting to think none of this was worth it.”
Evan turned a sharp, hostile gaze on him.
“Love is supposed to go both ways,” Amos continued. “But her heart isn’t with you anymore.”
Felix had not won her over either.
Even so, Stella’s heart no longer belonged to Evan.
As far as Amos was concerned, sacrificing this much for a woman who did not love him was pointless.
Though admittedly, Evan had been the one who wronged Stella first.
“Get out,” Evan said coldly.
He had no interest in discussing this with Amos.
“No, listen…”
Amos was close to losing his mind.
“Felix and Aaron interfered with the Kylo deal. The partnership is dead.”
Evan said nothing.
“If we don’t hand her over, they’ll only become more aggressive.”
He had no patience left for Amos’s assumptions.
“They’re already discussing terms. What is there left for you to think about?”
The very fact that Felix and Aaron were willing to negotiate with Litt said enough.
They were tempted.
“The only reason they haven’t agreed to hand her over is that Litt hasn’t offered enough yet.”
Amos’s expression changed.
“So what do we do now? I knew that bastard Aaron didn’t suddenly come after me for no reason.”
So that was why Felix and Aaron were so desperate to get Stella back to Eirden.
They needed her there so they could use her to obtain what they wanted from General Litt.
If that was true, they had gone far beyond merely controlling her.
“Send her the information,” Evan said. “Let her see exactly what Felix and her so-called family are really like.”
Amos looked at him.
“Why not have her brought directly to Seaborne? Then she could also see what all of this has cost you.”
Evan said nothing.
