Beckett scoffed dismissively. "A love-struck fool."
Laurel ignored his taunt and asked, "Have you found any leads on Leonard and Stella's whereabouts?"
Beckett leaned back in his chair, nonchalant. "Nope."
Laurel frowned. "Brother, can you please take this seriously? Joshua is short-handed in Solmaris. We're the only ones who can help him right now."
"He tried to kill me, and I'm supposed to help him with all my might?" Beckett retorted. "Do I look like some kind of saint to you?"
"You tried to kill him too, didn't you?" Laurel shot back. "You tried to kill him once, he tried to kill you once. You screwed him over, he screwed you over. I'd say you're even."
"…"
Beckett was speechless for a moment, then glanced at Laurel.
"He's risking life and limb for another woman, and you still want to help him find her? Laurel Quinn, are you an idiot? If Stella disappeared for good, maybe you and Joshua would have a chance."
Laurel shook her head, her expression growing grave.
"If they really can't find Stella, I suspect Joshua will snap."
Beckett's eyelid twitched as he caught the deeper meaning in Laurel's words.
"What do you mean?"

Hello! This series has been requested a lot on Reddit, but we’re unable to post the link there ourselves. If you have a Reddit account, we would truly appreciate it if you could help us share the link to this novel to increase its readership. As a thank-you, we will increase the number of free chapters available each day. Thank you so much for your support!...
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...
Please move on from Stella's troubles, we need more exiting news. Like Joshua discovering that Stella is the one he has been looking for,the owner of the earring....
Seriously, how long will this get stretched ?? Looks like the whole world is set to trouble Stella... It's not moving anywhere.....
Hey...please update regularly...
Is Jasper gay? He certainly behaves that way....
