The Extraordinary Bride Of The Wyndham Family (Isla and Gabriel) novel Chapter 200

200 /216

“Are you sure you have him with you?” Stone’s voice broke out through the phone speaker. It was louder than usual, it sounded sharp and more demanding, and filled with tension.

“Yes, boss. He is here with us as we speak,” the man replied from the other end of the line.

Stone frowned deeply. His brows pulled together as confusion clouded his face. He still could not understand what was happening. His eyes stayed fixed on the road ahead as he drove, his grip on the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles were turning white.

And his heart was racing.

He cursed under his breath as he drove, then spoke again through the Bluetooth in his ear. “Keep a close eye on him.

Make sure you take his phone away immediately. I don’t want him contacting anyone. I will join you very soon.”

“Yes, boss,” the voice answered.

Stone disconnected the call and released a sharp breath.

“What is going on?” he muttered to himself, his voice low and strained.

Less than five minutes ago, he had barely escaped an assassination attempt. He knew without any doubt that someone had been following him, giving out hismovements to the enemy. That was the only reason those men knew exactly where to find him.

And that fact alone chilled him.

Being targeted meant one thing. Someone who knew him personally-someone who understood his importance to the Wyndham family-had sold him out.

But who?

If Landon was already in custody, then who else could it be?

Stone cursed again and slammed his palm hard against the steering wheel. “Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.”

His chest rose and fell heavily. He could feel anger building inside him, hot and dangerous. Someone was playing games with his head, and Stone hated nothing more than being toyed with.

Right now, he was determined to find that person.

Adrian had never said exactly who was giving out Isla’s Location. He only said there was someone else close to her, someone trusted, feeding information to the enemy.

That meant Landon might not be the only one.

The thought made Stone’s stomach twist.

What if the real traitor was still watching them? What if they were looking in the wrong direction while the enemy laughed at them from within?Without hesitation, Stone dialed another number.

“I want everyone in Gabriel and Isla’s residence arrested right now,” he ordered firmly. “Every single person. Make sure you seize their phones and any communication devices.”

There was a brief pause on the other end.

“Sir… what about the housekeeper?” the man asked carefully.

Stone’s jaw tightened.

Magdalene had worked for the Wyndham family for many years. She was more than a servant. She was like a mother to Gabriel. Even Alfred Wyndham himself trusted her deeply.

But trust was a luxury Stone could not afford right now.

“Including her,” Stone replied coldly. “No exceptions. I will be there soon.”

He ended the call without waiting for a reply.

Immediately, he dialed another number. This time, he slowed down and pulled off the highway, parking by the side of the road. The moment the call connected, a voice spoke.

“Yes, sir.”

“Tell me,” Stone said sharply, “what is happening overthere right now?”

“Nothing unusual, sir. Everything is calm. Everyone is going about their duties as normal.”

Stone closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again.

“Keep your eyes on everyone,” he said slowly and clearly.”

I mean everyone. Especially the workers. Do not let anyone out of your sight.”

“Yes, sir.”

Stone ended the call.

In his line of work, the number one rule was simple-everyone is a suspect until the criminal is found. No matter how loyal, how kind, or how innocent they seemed, no one was above suspicion.
