The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1578

Chapter 1578 Stella stopped wiping the clothes and paused for a moment. “He’s still on the island,” she replied, but couldn’t bring herself to tell Griffon that she had shot Eric. It was like something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from saying a word. Griffon stood outside the operating room with his hands in his pockets. After a moment, he coldly ordered the bodyguard, “Go to the island and bring him back.” Upon hearing this, Stella’s tense body gradually relaxed. Bringing Eric back, whether to hand him over to the police or whatever, they would first treat Eric. That way, he would be safe and she could finally be rid of him. “Stella!” At the sound of Taya’s voice, Griffon turned and saw Preston, Taya, and Harper rushing towards them. As he saw the three of them, his brows furrowed. Taya hadn’t slept since she found out Stella had been kidnapped. She had traveled to another country and now wanted to come to Panama. Griffon was worried about Taya’s health, so he had come to Panama alone while she met up with Harper. He had instructed

Preston to take care of them, but who would have thought that he would bring them along. Preston felt a shiver down his spine as he received Griffon’ cold gaze. In his clear eyes, there was a hint of innocence and helplessness. Why did he have to listen to women? Besides, it wasn’t too much for Taya to be worried about her best friend and come along. His brother was being too strict, wasn’t he? Preston inwardly complained about Griffon while putting on a pleasing smile and walking towards him. “Did you catch that ba stard Eric?” Griffon ignored him and turned his gaze to Taya, who had already reached Stella. “If anything happens to her on your way here, I’ll hold you responsible.” Preston rolled his eyes at him in his mind. “With my skills, can’t l protect Taya?” he thought.

Griffon seemed to think of something and his expression darkened. “Just make sure you can protect her,” he said in a softer tone. Preston didn’t understand and furrowed his brows. “What do you mean?” Griffon didn’t answer anymore. His indifferent eyes softened as they rested on Taya’s worried face. On their way to Stella, Preston had told Taya and Harper about her situation. Now, seeing Stella sitting in the chair covered in blood, their hearts clenched tightly. They squatted down next to Stella and checked her up and down, relieved to find that she wasn’t injured. Taya looked at Stella for a few seconds, then straightened up and hugged her tenderly. “It’s okay, we found you…” Stella’s restrained emotions suddenly overwhelmed her as she saw them. Her eyes reddened, as if she had seen her own family, and she couldn’t help but reach out and hug Taya back. She didn’t say anything, just quietly leaned against Taya’s embrace, while her other hand held Harper’s. “Thank you both…” Dealing with Eric wasn’t easy, yet they managed to find her location in such a short time. This meant that they had put in a great deal of effort in terms of manpower, resources, and finances. Stella felt insignificant, but the fact that so many people cared about her made her think that maybe her existence had meaning. “Stella, you’re family to us, no need to thank us.” Hel actions gentle, her words warm, warming Stella’s heart. She couldn’t control herself and hugged Taya tightly once again. Like grabbing a lifeline, Stella held onto her desperately, finding redemption in that moment, despite her physical and m ental exhaustion. Harper, like an older sister, brushed the messy hair from Stella’s face and tucked it behind her ear, her movements gentle, not disturbing the tranquility of the moment.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Stella’s anxious heart gradually eased with Taya’s hug and Harper’s gesture, and she no longer felt frantic. Seeing her emotions expressed and her expression returning to calm, Taya finally took Stella to clean up the blood stains, while Harper went to buy new towels and clothes.
