Chapter 235: The Rose USB
(Stella)
Callum’s solemn face came into view as he picked up the video call. I tried to contain my tears, but my heart wouldn’t ease.
And here was Zaylen, acting more mature and stronger than all of us. I knew Uncle Zyair was barely holding on because of how attached he was to Arata, and even though I was trying, I was an emotional mess.
Arata was my best friend and the sister I never had.
"Any progress?" Callum asked, and I had to shake my head.
"Not much, Uncle Zyair and Uncle Kail are speaking to the police now, and we are still trying to find a lead." I wasn’t going to reveal the truth about the USB to anyone else yet.
"Alright. I made a promise to Arata, but I had no clue that such a day would come. So I am telling you guys."
Our ears perked, and Zaylen exchanged a look with me as we said.
"Go on."
"Arata asked me to do a thorough background check on her boss, and I found some disturbing facts," he paused, and leaned in towards his phone from the chair as if trying to keep this information contained.
Unease settled in my heart. This won’t be good.
