Israel was completely lost. He couldn't make heads or tails of how the conversation had veered to Beckett, so he decided to keep quiet.
Coleman, however, understood exactly what was happening.
Joshua had anticipated that no matter who kidnapped Aurora, the blame would be pinned on Stella.
With Stella's influence growing so rapidly, someone would inevitably try to create trouble for her to slow her down.
This kidnapping was the perfect opportunity.
With Joshua's cunning and intellect, he could have easily fabricated a more plausible, convincing excuse, but he chose not to.
No matter how eloquent, any explanation would still be a lie. He might as well use a flimsy one to get under their skin.
This was a setup, and everyone in the room knew it.
Since they were trying to frame Stella, he would fight fire with fire.
But… why Beckett?
Could it be that he saw the new partnership between the Torres and Williams families and wanted to sow discord, disrupting their business relationship?
But wasn't Beckett Stella's partner?
Joshua and Stella were on the same side. He wouldn't sabotage his own ally's partnership, would he?
That would be like shooting himself in the foot.
At that moment, not just Coleman, but even Jonathan was a bit confused by Joshua's maneuvers.
Joshua was simply too devious, utterly lacking the integrity expected of a family head.
The Williams family had suffered countless setbacks at his hands, and each time he outsmarted them in a new way.
They had no idea what kind of scheme Joshua was cooking up this time.
Unable to figure it out for the moment, Jonathan picked up his phone and ordered his subordinates to investigate.
The results came back, matching what Joshua had said.
Meanwhile, Skyler personally called Beckett.
"Mr. Torres, I was wondering if you have a moment. We'd like to invite you to the Williams estate to discuss the kidnapping and disappearance of my younger daughter."
Beckett was baffled. "Mr. Williams, what does your daughter's kidnapping have to do with me? Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to be involved in the discussion?"
Skyler glanced at Joshua and said, "Well, Star and Joshua found out that during the time of Aurora's disappearance, you had your men monitoring her movements. You even received information that she was taken to the Delta."
