Chapter 497

“I can’t meet you just yet. I’ll get back to you when I can,” I said, ready to end the call.

“Don’t agree to anything with Russel Dawson!” Neil’s voice rang out just as I was about to disconnect, sounding unusually urgent.

I was taken aback, Had Neil predicted that Russel would make me an offer?

For a moment, my heart felt heavy. An absurd thought popped into my mind.

Should I visit Bonnie in prison and ask her what she would do, if she were in my shoes?

I stood alone on the balcony for a while until my phone rang again, bringing me back to reality.

“Rena, have the Whitmores and the Dawsons really started a feud?” Stella’s voice was filled with shock. “What on earth happened? Is it about you?”

“I’m not sure. How did you find out about this?” I asked, somewhat dazed.

“Mitch called me. A lot of details are still unclear, but he’s certain that there’s a major issue between Neil and Russel. He asked me to contact you…” Stella sounded awkward. “I didn’t want to get involved, but he kept bothering me, so I thought I’d ask you.”

Mitch was currently in Eldoria and couldn’t come back.

I was in a state of chaos myself and hadn’t even seen Russel yet. “Stella, let’s talk about this when I have a clearer picture. Do you know what’s happening with the Dawsons? Have you heard anything while staying in Rosemont?”

Stella thought for a moment before answering, “Russel’s father, Samuel Dawson, seems to have stepped down, but I’m not sure about the rest. I’ve been too busy with the baby.”
