Leonard’s brow furrowed in frustration.
If he’d gone there himself, maybe he would have seen straight through their scheme. But he’d chosen to rescue Aurora first and left Simone’s situation in the hands of his most trusted assistant.
He’d deliberately told the kidnappers he would arrange for a man to go, but that was just a ruse—another way to throw them off. In reality, his own team had already surrounded the villa, moving in silently, preparing every detail.
Leonard asked, “What’s Simone’s situation now?”
His assistant replied, “We followed the leads and found another villa far from here, but it was completely deserted by the time we arrived. The security cameras along the way had all been disabled, so there’s no way to track where they went. We have no idea where Miss Simone is now.”
Leonard couldn’t help but curse. “Useless! We’re in our own city, and you can’t even find a lowlife kidnapper?”
The assistant sounded defensive. “Mr. Lerman, you sent all the best men to search for Miss Aurora. The ones left behind… they just aren’t as capable.”
Aurora had only been missing for a few hours before she was rescued. That was entirely thanks to the elite teams sent out by both the Lerman and Williams families.
Leonard was silent for a few seconds. “Keep searching. Update me the moment you find anything.”
“Yes, sir.”
Leonard had barely hung up when someone knocked at the hospital room door.
Stella and Joshua walked in.
Everyone turned to look at Stella, their eyes cold and unwelcoming.
Yesterday, after Stella had sent Leonard away, she’d flatly refused to act as bait no matter what anyone said. The only conditions she’d agreed to involved not holding Coleman accountable for trying to kill her.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
