The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1293

Without waiting for a response, Gibson hung up.

Stella immediately dialed another number. "Did you get a location?"

Aicken's respectful voice came through the line. "We have a lock on the signal's location. I've already sent a team to investigate."

"Good," Stella said. "Report back as soon as you have anything."

Ten minutes later, Aicken called back with an update. "Ms. Cameron, the location we traced was a dead end. There's nothing here. It must have been a decoy."

Stella's face showed no trace of surprise or disappointment. She had expected as much.

"I understand," she said, giving a few brief instructions before ending the call.

Foreman immediately pressed, "Star, was it really the Gibsons?"

A shadow of unease crossed Stella's features. "It's almost certain."

Foreman tightened his grip on the glass in his hand, asking with feigned casualness, "Keen is so young. This must be terrifying for him. Gibson lost his son… who knows what he'll do to Keen to get his revenge…"

He shot a cold glare at Joshua, who had remained silent the entire time. "This is all your fault, Joshua! If it weren't for you, Gibson never would have taken Keen!"

For once, Joshua didn't argue, accepting the blame in silence.
