A flicker of movement in Foreman's eyes. "Joshua's weakness?"
"It's obvious, isn't it? His weakness is Star," Haynes said, his voice flowing and unhurried. "I didn't see what happened, but according to Harold's description, the scene was incredibly jarring. If I had been the one to see it, I doubt I could have remained clear-headed either."
At Haynes's words, a glimmer of hope seemed to ignite in Foreman's eyes.
"So you're saying… Star might not be dead?"
"Of course, this is all just my speculation," Haynes said. He glanced at the surrounding wreckage and sighed. "But if someone started this fire and caused so many deaths just to target Joshua… that person must be utterly depraved."
"Are there any leads on the arsonist?" Foreman asked.
Haynes shook his head. "The fire destroyed almost all the evidence." Then, he looked at Foreman. "Foreman, you have considerable connections and influence in Neo-Vespera. I hope you can help me investigate this as well."
Foreman's expression was a mask of suppressed anger and grief. "Haynes, don't worry. If this person is the one who hurt Star, I will never let them get away with it!"
Haynes nodded lightly. "I have other things to attend to, so I'll leave you to it."
Foreman put on a dejected look. "You go ahead and handle your business, Haynes. I'll start making arrangements for Star's affairs right away."
After a few more words, Foreman left. Haynes watched his departing back, his gaze deep and inscrutable.
He called his assistant, Benson, over and gave him an order. "Benson, have someone tail Foreman."

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...
