Ste tore her gaze away and was about to get into her car when a familiar vehicle pulled up beside her. The window rolled down, revealing Foreman''s handsome, refined face.


    "Star."


    "Foreman, what are you doing here?" Ste asked, pausing.


    "I heard Haynes and Keen were in town," he exined. "I had some free time today and a gift for Keen, so I thought I''d stop by."


    "Keen''s not here right now. He went out with Joshua."


    "Oh, that''s a shame," Foreman said, feigning disappointment. "Keen mentioned wanting to go to the amusement park, so I managed to get some tickets. I was hoping we could all go together, you, me, and Haynes."<fn6152> Content originallyes from Find~Novel</fn6152>


    Foreman had always been good to Keen, bringing him thoughtful, practical gifts every time he saw him. Keen had indeed mentioned the Solmaris amusement park a few times, and Foreman had likely picked up on it and gotten the tickets. In terms of his kindness to Keen, Foreman was faultless.


    "Thank you, Foreman," Ste said.


    "When do you think Keen will be free?" he asked.


    Ste thought about her schedule. "I can clear my schedule in three days. Does that work for you?"


    "Of course," Foreman said with a smile. He got out and opened the passenger door for her. "Star, since Joshua''s not here let me give you a ride to the office." Before she could refuse, he lowered his voice. have a lead on what happened to Neville. I wanted to talk to you about it."


    At the mention of Neville, Ste got into the car without another word.


    ...


    Three dayster, they all met at the amusement park. Foreman had brought five tickets, one for himself, Haynes, Keen, Ste, and Joshua.


    Inside, Ste held Keen''s hand, walking ahead with Joshua, while Foreman and Haynes followed behind, discussing business. Their families had been close for generations, with numerous joint ventures and shared interests.


    "Haynes," Foreman said suddenly, breaking their conversation, "aren''t you going to ask why I brought a ticket for Joshua?"


    A shadow crossed Haynes''s face. "He''s Star''s bodyguard," he said tly. "He''s here to protect her and Keen."


    Foreman knew Haynes was staying at the Williams Mansion and had surely witnessed Ste and Joshua''s closeness. He had already dealt with Neville Getting rid of Joshua would be more difficult, as he had no justifiable reason. But perhaps he could use Haynes to do ipfor him.


    "Haynes, Star trusts Joshuapletely right now. She takes him everywhere. But


    I''ve had him investigated multiple times ande up with nothing. It''s like he doesn''t exist. Neville was also looking into him. He had just found a few clues when... the incident happened."


    "Neville''s incident?" Haynes asked.


    Foreman nodded and recounted the story. "Joshua is with Star all the time. He knows her entire schedule It would have been easy for him to set something like that up. And then there was the Stuart Gibson affair. he dragged Staf into so much trouble, she almost didn''t make it back."
