In the three days following Stella’s phone call, things in Eirden began to take an unexpected turn.
Whenever Amos had clashed with Aaron in the past, he had always been the one forced to take the losses without fighting back.
Partly because of what had happened with that person all those years ago, Amos had never truly fought back, no matter how far Aaron pushed him.
But over the past three days, he had begun retaliating.
And each strike was more ruthless than the last.
Aaron had been in a foul mood ever since.
Amos had not only hit the Hogarth family hard. Felix’s interests had suffered serious damage as well.
In the underground wine cellar, Aaron opened a bottle of red wine.
“Amos doesn’t seem nearly as incompetent as you made him sound,” Felix said.
From everything Aaron had told him, Amos was supposed to be utterly useless.
And yet that supposedly useless man had somehow won the heart of the woman Aaron had cared about.
Ever since then, whenever Aaron moved against Amos, Amos’s response had always been weak and ineffective.
But now?
Felix no longer believed Amos was the fool Aaron claimed he was.
Aaron’s expression turned cold.
“You really think Amos has the brains to orchestrate everything that’s happened over the past three days?”
“You don’t?”
“He isn’t capable of planning something this elaborate.”
Aaron had known Amos for years, and they had crossed paths countless times.
Amos had fought back before, but his attempts had never caused Aaron more than a minor inconvenience.
That was the limit of his ability.
But this time was different.
Felix looked at him.
“What are you suggesting?”
“Stella may actually be helping him.”
Taking such a valuable shipment from under their noses required far more than ordinary planning.
And there was also the warning Stella had given them three days ago.
She had truly chosen Evan’s side and placed herself in direct opposition to them.
Felix’s expression darkened the moment he heard Stella might be helping Amos.
“What do we do now?”
