Chapter 501
I couldn’t believe it when Russel finally backed off, but then Neil suddenly began to hit back. His counterattack was fierce, which even stunned Stella Wallace and our group chat.
Stella: Is Neil out of his mind?
Alicia: Not just him. Russel too. They’re both bats in the belfry.
Barbara: Is it really about Rena?
She tagged me in the chat, asking me to weigh in.
I avoided the question, pretending not to see it and let them continue their heated discussion.
My phone rang, interrupting my reading of the group chat. It was Faith Whitmore.
We hadn’t been in touch lately. Neil had said she was returning to Eldoria because Hiram was still there, but did they not know that Karina Aaron was already here? So, it was likely that Hiram was here too.
“Irene, could we meet?” Faith asked anxiously as soon as I picked up.
“Sure, where are you now?” I replied.
“I’m at Sterling Estates. Do you have the kids with you? I can come to you if that’s easier. Faith, ever considerate, offered. gave her the Sands family’s address.
