NovelFinishChapter 87
Stella paused, gathering her thoughts as she recounted everything to Foreman in detail.
Foreman paused, thinking over her words, then looked her in the eye. "You've got a point—it's possible. But
there's also a chance she's caught up in something else and is lying low because she doesn't want to drag you
into it."
He leaned forward slightly, his tone more serious. "Have you considered what happens if Abby wasn't taken by
Haynie? As his wife, accusing him without solid proof could make things between you two really messy down the
line."
Stella froze, caught off guard. It hit her then-she didn't have any real evidence, just a gut feeling and a lot of
assumptions.
Foreman noticed her uncertainty. "Why don't you head back for now," he suggested calmly. "I'll investigate this
for you. If it's not Haynie, I'll do my best to find out where she is. And if it is Haynie, I'll find a way to get your

Stella hesitated, looking at Foreman, "Why are you helping me?"
A flicker of emotion passed through Foreman's eyes, too quick to catch. "Haynie and | grew up together; helping
you is like helping him. Besides," he lowered his voice, "I've never really liked Rachel. Sometimes | even
suspect... her illness might not be genuine."
Stella looked at Foreman sharply, "You think so too?"
Foreman nodded, "But that's just my personal hunch. It's better to keep quiet about things without proof."
He paused, then added, "If you want to confront Haynie, you need evidence. You don't have any right now, so let
Richards."
Foreman smiled warmly, "Please, just callForeman."
Stella nodded, smiling back. "Alright, Foreman."
Foreman was the definition of a true gentleman-nothing like Haynes' strict demeanor or Jasper's laid-back
attitude. He was polished, refined, and always carried himself with grace. While others were quick to criticize
her, he never jumped on the bandwagon. In fact, he often reminded Haynes to hold off on judging until all the
facts were clear.
In truth, Stella had a good impression of him.
Foreman spoke softly, "You should head home. I'll contact you as soon as | have
news."
"Okay, I'll go then."
After Rachel fell asleep, Haynes arranged for someone to stay by her bedside to prevent any further extreme
actions. Leaving the hospital room, Haynes noticed Foreman standing in the corridor.
Haynes raised an eyebrow, "What brings you here?"

Foreman turned around, "Did you take Stella's friend Abby?"
"Is that why you're here?" Haynes asked.
Foreman nodded, saying, "I ran into Stella earlier. She toldabout it."
Haynes' eyes darkened slightly.
"Haynie," Foreman said, "I understand Rachel means a lot to you, but don't forget Stella is your wife too. You
should consider her feelings."
Foreman had said this many times, but Haynes always stuck to his own views.
"If Stella finds out you took Abby because of Rachel, it'll be a huge blow to her. The tension between you two will
be hard to resolve."
Haynes remained unfazed, "Foreman, don't let Stella deceive you. Just the other day, Jasper saw her shopping
for clothes for Keen."
