Chapter 792
[ 535 words ]
So why was Summer still trying to get Ruby out of trouble?
At Stella’s words, Summer snapped.
“Shut up! Stella, you grew up without parents. What do you know? You don’t know anything!”
Stella’s expression cooled.
She did not want to hear another word from Summer.
She hung up.
Then she called Gray, who was still nearby.
“Miss.”
“Find out why Felix is helping Summer. As soon as possible.”
She could not wait any longer.
She had been careless.
She had let Summer find her footing again, and that was the last thing Stella wanted.
If Summer could receive Felix’s help in a situation like this, what about Dora and Fiona?
“Understood.”
Then Stella added, “Keep an eye on Dora and Fiona too.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Gray understood what she meant.
If Felix had helped Summer, there was no telling whether he might interfere with Dora and Fiona’s
situation too.
Gray had no idea what Felix was doing.
Back in Harbor City, he had always seemed to stand firmly on Stella’s side.
Now, Gray could not make sense of him either.
After ending the call, Stella still felt weighed down.
Felix.
Why?
Summer’s smug voice only made her more restless.

Elsewhere, Jack came up behind Felix.
“Sir.”
“What is it?”
“Ms. Rowan may have realized you helped Ms. Bailey.”
Felix went still.
The hand holding his cigarette paused.
He turned, his dark eyes settling on Jack.
“Gray’s people are already investigating Crown Bay.”
Felix said nothing.
Gray’s people were already looking into it?
That quickly?
Felix turned back and took another drag from his cigarette.
Seeing that he remained silent, Jack continued, “After everything with Evan, Ms. Rowan isn’t someone who trusts easily. Now that you’ve helped Summer, in her mind…”
He trailed off.
But Felix understood exactly what that meant for him and Stella.
Irritation spread through him.
“Gray’s people are already at Crown Bay?”
“Yes.”
“Then she’s known for a while.”
Most likely since yesterday.
Yet she had acted exactly the same around him, without letting anything show.
That girl was better at hiding her thoughts than he had realized.
A helpless, almost indulgent smile touched Felix’s lips.
“What should we do now?” Jack asked.
This was not good.

If Stella’s people uncovered too much, the trust Felix had worked so hard to build with her could collapse completely.
“What do you think?” Felix said quietly. “She’s already investigating. We can’t exactly let her find nothing.”
“What do you mean?”
Before Jack had even finished asking, he understood.
“I see. I’ll make the arrangements.”
“Go.”
Felix closed his eyes, smoke curling from the cigarette between his fingers.
Jack left.
Alone, Felix opened his eyes again.
His dark gaze had become even deeper.
No one knew what lay hidden beneath it.
