Chapter 282
“Ethan, it’s not your style. You lost control so quickly? Stella mocked. “I thought attitude toward me. It turns out that you will also be so emotional because of me.”
“What exactly do you want?” Ethan said through gritted teeth.
you would only have one expression and
“I don’t know what I want either. For a person who owns nothing like me, what do you think I want?” Stella asked Ethan. Then, she said in a self-deprecating tone, “Should I be glad that came up with a plan before you destroyed my family? Otherwise, I would have been thrown into jail like my brother! After all, your evidence didn’t hide anything I had done.”
“That’s right. I’m the one who schemed against you and your family. Just take revenge on me. Tell me where you are and I’ll be right there right now. You can do whatever you want to me!” Ethan could not hide the anger in his voice.
my now.
“I don’t want to see you
Ethan, let’s play a game,” Stella said evilly.
Ethan’s expression changed drastically.
Born in a family like the Garner family, Stella knew all too well How to torture someone to death.
“Aren’t you smart? Aren’t you trying to search for my whereabouts? I’ll give you 24 hours. It’s 1:02 AM now. If you haven’t found me by the same time tomorrow, I’ll send something about Joseph to you every two hours. Is it funny?”
“Stella”
Joseph is obedient. He doesn’t cry or make a fuss. I wonder if he will cry when I take something from him later…”
“Enough.
“You can’t stand it anymore?” Stella laughed even more wildly. “Ethan, everything I’m doing now is because of you! You should have a taste of being tortured by me!”
As soon as she finished her words, she hung up the phone abruptly.
The veins on Ethan’s hand were bulging, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
“What did Stella say?” Xavier could not help but ask.
From Ethan’s expression, he could tell that the current situation was very serious.
*Stella asked me to find her within a day. Otherwise…” Ethan swallowed nervously. “She will hurt Jos.”
“Within a day?” Xavier widened his eyes.
They had no clue, and how could they find Stella in a day?
“What should we do now?” Xavier looked at Ethan.
“Continue watching the video and see if you missed anything. I contact the others.” Ethan tried his best to calm down.
His hand that was holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.
Kylie left Ethan’s embrace. She had heard the conversation between Ethan and Stella just now.
She did not dare to imagine what Joseph would suffer.
She could only watch the surveillance footage and search for Stella’s whereabouts.
Ethan kept calling. “Derick, I’ll give you a phone number. Get someone to check its address.”

“Okay”
“Continue to search for Stella, even if you have to rummage every corner in Beliey!”
“We will try every effort, Mr. Hayden.”
After hanging up the phone, Ethan returned to his desk.
He quickly went through all the videos at eight times the speed.
The area of the blind spot was geographically planned.
Ethan got his people to search all the places Joseph might be hidden.
Twelve hours passed, and it was 1:00 PM now.
They had not slept or rested for two days but still found nothing
The unknown call was made using a virtual number. At the moment, they had yet to find its exact location.
“Ethan.” Joel could not stand it anymore.
He saw that Ethan’s eyes were bloodshot.
Ethan had just been released from prison and was already in poor health. He had been staying up all night and should be physically and mentally exhausted. If that continued, Joel was afraid that Ethan would suddenly die.
“Go sleep for a while. It’s useless for you to keep working. You might be able to figure something out after a break,” Joel persuaded.
Ethan shook his head.
He looked at Kylie.
Kylie’s weak and thin figure remained motionless in front of the computer. Occasionally, she would draw a few strokes on the paper with a pen.
After Stella called and said so many threatening words, Kylie suddenly calmed down.
Ordinary people would break down at that moment.
However, Kylie regained her composure and became more concentrated..
For a full twelve hours, she watched the surveillance footage and took careful notes, speculating and then eliminating the possibility repeatedly.
She had never given up.
Joel followed Ethan’s gaze and glanced at Kylic.
He felt bad when seeing Kylie’s expression.
The more strong-minded she was, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Xavier pulled Joel’s arm, telling him not to disturb them.
Xavier could see that Ethan and Kylie had almost reached their limits. They couldn’t fall asleep and would rather force themselves than lie in bed with a clear conscience.
It was better to let them keep fighting, even if the outcome wasn’t hopeful.

If so at least, they would have less regret.
The room fol

At 8 PM, three hours before the deadline set by Stella, Kylie finally got up from her
As soon as she stood up, she fell
seat.
Because she had been sitting for too long and had gotten up too suddenly, she couldn’t help but feel dizzy.
“Kylie.” Ethan hugged her in time.
After less than two seconds, Kylie quickly straightened her body
She said to Ethan, “Lanalyzed one of Stella’s routes and speculated something. I’d like to share my suspicions and thoughts. with you. Perhaps we can find Stella’s location faster.”
“Okay.”
Ethan brought Kylie to the coffee table.
Joel and Xavier followed behind them.
They leaned against each other.

Kylie took out the paper she had taken notes on and said, “I believe that Stella must have made a plan before she came Beliey. However, she should be closely watched by the Garner family at that time. In other words, she did not dare to make a big fuss and could only take a step secretly because her family would not allow her to do that. She was ready for death and even going to die with you. She gave up everything, which also included the marriage alliance between the Carner family and the Foster family. In my opinion, what Stella had done should not be as complicated as we think. She does not have the time to prepare well.”
Ethan nodded.
Joel and Xavier also agreed.
They admired Kylie for being so calm in the last five hours.
In the beginning, she was the one who was the most emotional.
Perhaps because she was a mother, she forced herself to be strong-minded.
