Stella was feeling a bit on edge. On one hand, she was concerned that if Luanna's death was indeed connected to Ricky, the Adam family might exploit that photo to thrust Keegan into the spotlight. Despite their preparations, causing more harm than good wasn't the ideal solution.

On the other hand, she couldn't shake the subconscious hope that Marshall could genuinely assist Lina in uncovering the true culprit behind Luanna's death. The once diligent and ambitious girl shouldn't have vanished from this world in such a mysterious manner.
