Chapter 1219

Now, whenever Evan spoke of Stella, every word came through clenched teeth.

The hatred in him was so intense that he seemed to want to tear her apart with his bare hands.

“You two really…”

Lucas stopped himself.

Really what?

How long were they going to keep hurting each other like this?

But in the end, he didn’t say it.

In the past, Lucas had almost always taken Stella’s side.

But this time…

Even if the whole thing had started because of a mistake, the price of that mistake had been far too high.

When Aaron received word that Felix might still be alive, he found it hard to believe.

He frowned at Gray.

“Is the information reliable?”

Gray nodded.

“Almost certainly.”

Rumors like this didn’t come from nowhere.

If word had gotten out that Felix might still be alive, then there was probably some truth to it.

Aaron fell silent.

The study became eerily quiet.

His expression seemed to freeze as his fingers tapped against the armrest of his chair, one beat at a time.

No one could tell what he was thinking.

But the changing look in his eyes was becoming increasingly hard to read.

Gray said nothing either.

He simply waited for Aaron’s orders.

After what felt like a long time, Aaron suddenly let out a quiet laugh.

“Well. This is interesting.”

Felix wasn’t dead.

“Why isn’t he dead? And why did he ‘die’ in the first place?”

Why was he alive now?

Or more accurately, why had he supposedly died before, only to suddenly turn up

Gray remained silent.

He didn’t know what to say.

Aaron gave another cold laugh.

It didn’t take him long to figure it out.

Why would Felix fake his death?

And why would he still be alive?

“Good. Very good.”

Aaron laughed under his breath.

“So even I got played.”

It was good news.

But at the same time, it made him look like a complete fool.

Gray spoke carefully.

“Miss Rowan had always wanted to leave.”

That alone made it clear Gray had reached the same conclusion.

Why else would Felix do something like this?

It had to be because of Stella.

Aaron’s eyes narrowed.

“Then where do you think they are?”

Alive.

Dead.

So this was how they had chosen to disappear from everything?

They had played everyone for fools.

alive?

The thought of how he himself had been fooled all this time sent Aaron’s expression plummeting.

Gray shook his head.

“That, I don’t know.”

And he genuinely didn’t.

They had gone this long without uncovering any trace of Felix.

Clearly, the two of them had hidden themselves extremely well.

Aaron gave a humorless laugh.

“I went through all that trouble forcing her divorce from Evan. I even erased every trace of her from Harbor City.”

“And after all that, I ended up helping her get exactly what she wanted.”

There was no Stella Rowan left in the world.

Wasn’t that exactly what she had wanted?

Danger filled Aaron’s voice.

This was the first time in his life anyone had fooled him this thoroughly.

His sister really had some nerve.

And Felix had actually gone along with her insanity.

“Send people out to find them.”

Aaron’s eyes turned icy.

“I’d really like to ask her whether I look that stupid.”

By now, he was genuinely furious.

He could hardly believe there had ever been a day when someone managed to make a fool out of him.

Stella and Felix had really outdone themselves.

Gray hesitated.

“You only want to ask whether she thought you were a fool?”

The temperature in the study seemed to drop instantly.

Gray immediately realized he had said too much.

“I’ll send people out to search right away.”

Feeling the unmistakable chill radiating from
