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?

“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.
