Laurel's cool voice held a hint of urgency.
"Why did Joshua suddenly disappear? Has his condition worsened? If Dr. Chase can't handle it, I can go treat Joshua myself."
"There's no need to worry, Ms. Quinn," Jake said. "Mr. Gardner is fine. He… he just went to Solmaris and didn't have time to inform us."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.
Soon, Laurel's voice returned. "Is something wrong with Stella?"
Jake found it difficult to say. "It's nothing serious. It's just… Ms. Cameron got sick, and Mr. Gardner was worried, so he went to see her."
Silence stretched on again. Jake didn't know what to say either.
After a moment, Laurel spoke again.
"As long as he's okay… He probably won't stay in Solmaris for long. Have Dr. Chase on standby. I've already sent the subsequent treatment plan to Dr. Chase. Have Joshua's medical team look it over as soon as possible so they can keep an eye on how it works."
"Ms. Quinn, thank you so much," Jake said sincerely.
"I owe him this," Laurel sighed. "Since he's fine, I'll hang up now."
After ending the call, she turned to her assistant. "Has a partner been confirmed for that multi-billion-dollar project?"
"Not yet," the assistant replied. "But we've shortlisted a few of the stronger companies. Among them, The Watson Group is the strongest contender. Unless something unexpected happens, the deal is basically theirs."
"Did the Williams family submit a bid?" Laurel Quinn asked.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
