Chapter 1853
As soon as Stella said those words, the look on everyone's faces changed.
Darcie said in a low voice, "Stella, why would you say that? Didn't Trevor travel abroad this time just to do
business?"
Stella replied nonchalantly, "Just like how Jaylene thinks that weather conditions cause the plane crash, I'm simply
guessing. The rescue team hasn't found anything yet. It's too hasty to say that the plane crash was due to weather
conditions and start making baseless accusations."
Jaylene's expression slightly changed as she quickly said, "I just thought of it and said it. I'm not accusing anyone
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthere." Then, she choked up, "Whenever I think that Trevor is gone, I just can't..."
Stella's tone turned even colder, "The embassy only said that the plane had crashed; it's not confirmed if Trevor
was on the plane or not. No one knows if there are any survivors, so how can you be so sure that Trevor is gone?"
"I-" Jaylene paused as her expression turned ugly. "The possibility of surviving a plane crash is extremely low. Don't
you know that? Is this pointless bickering really what's important now?"
"Of course, Trevor is more important. I just can't stand someone mourning before knowing what exactly
happened." Stella sneered as she continued, "You're so capable that you managed to save Keegan. Why don't you
think of a way to save my brother now?"
Jaylene's expression darkened, "Are you seriously going to bring up Keegan at a time like this-"
Smack!
Upon noticing that Wenham's expression gradually grew angrier, Darcie suddenly slapped Jaylene across her face
and said coldly, "Shut up now! Is this the time to argue? Your brother is missing. Won't you get your priorities
straight? Have I taught you nothing?"
Jaylene held her cheeks, looking somewhat incredulous. Then, her eyes turned red as she bit her lip.
Stella curled her fingers as she thought to herself, 'Darcie is indeed on another level.'
Wenham was extremely biased. Although Stella could be at fault in this, Wenham would definitely still be angry at
Jaylene for arguing with her.
Once they started arguing, all sorts of unpleasant things would be said. Even if Wenham could not speak up against
Jaylene as her stepfather, he would surely harbor some dissatisfaction against her.
Darcie knew very well how important Stella was to Wenham. There was nothing Jaylene could do to compete with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat. So, taking Stella on like that was never the best approach. Darcie figured that she had to use their many years
of fatherdaughter relationship to hit the soft spot in Wenham's heart.
Sure enough, after Darcie slapped Jaylene, Wenham frowned.
He said in a deep voice, "Jaylene is an adult now; don't slap her like that. They were only bickering because both of
them were worried about Trevor. What you did will only cause their relationship to go bad."
Darcie replied softly, "Even if she's worried, she can't say things like that. People will ridicule our family for being
undisciplined if this gets out."
Her statement was directed not just at Jaylene but at the other person, too.
