As soon as Stella said those words, the look on everyone's faces changed.

Darcie said in a low voice, "Stella, why would you say that? Didn't Trevor travel abroad this time just to do business?" Stella replied nonchalantly, "Just like how Jaylene thinks that weather conditions cause the plane crash, I'm simply guessing.

The rescue team hasn't found anything yet.

It's too hasty to say that the plane crash was due to weather conditions and start making baseless accusations." Jaylene's expression slightly changed as she quickly said, "I just thought of it and said it.

I'm not accusing anyone here." Then, she choked up, "Whenever I think that Trevor is gone, I just can't..." Stella's tone turned even colder, "The embassy only said that the plane had crashed; it's not confirmed if Trevor was on the plane or not.

No one knows if there are any survivors, so how can you be so sure that Trevor is gone?" "I" Jaylene paused as her expression turned ugly.

"The possibility of surviving a plane crash is extremely low.

Don't you know that? Is this pointless bickering really what's important now? Ww "Of course, Trevor is more important.

I just can't stand someone mourning before knowing what exactly happened." Stella sneered as she continued, "You're so capable that you managed to save Keegan.

Why don't you think of a way to save my brother now?" Jaylene's expression darkened, "Are you seriously going to bring up Keegan at a time like this-" Smack! Upon noticing that Wenham's expression gradually grew angrier, Darcie suddenly slapped Jaylene across her face and said coldly," Shut up now! Is this the time to argue? Your brother is missing.

Won't you get your priorities straight? Have I taught you nothing?" Jaylene held her cheeks, looking somewhat incredulous.

Then, her eyes turned red as she bit her lip.

Stella curled her fingers as she thought to herself, 'Darcie is indeed on another level.' Wenham was extremely biased.

Although Stella could be at fault in this, Wenham would definitely still be angry at Jaylene for arguing with her.

Once they started arguing, all sorts of unpleasant things would be said.

Even if Wenham could not speak up against Jaylene as her stepfather, he would surely harbor some dissatisfaction against her.

Darcie knew very well how important Stella was to Wenham.

There was nothing Jaylene could do to compete with that.

So, taking Stella on like that was never the best approach.

Darcie figured that she had to use their many years of father-daughter relationship to hit the soft spot in Wenham's heart.

Sure enough, after Darcie slapped Jaylene, Wenham frowned.

He said in a deep voice, "Jaylene is an adult now; don't slap her like that.

They were only bickering because both of them were worried about Trevor.

What you did will only cause their relationship to go bad." Darcie replied softly, "Even if she's worried, she can't say things like that.

People will ridicule our family for being undisciplined if this gets out." Her statement was directed not just at Jaylene but at the other person, too.

Stella could not be bothered by Darcie's words as she turned to Wenham and said, "Dad, I'll go with you." She paused fora moment before saying softly, "Whether Trevor is on the plane or not, we'll bring him home together." Wenham's eyes turned redder.

He wanted Stella to come with him, but he was worried about her pregnancy.

If something really happened to Trevor, he feared that Stella might be emotionally overwhelmed, which could affect her health.

Stella sensed his concern and reached out to hold his hand, "Dad, let's bring Trevor home." Wenham felt a pang in his heart and held her hand back, "Okay, I'll buy another ticket." Private flights required advance reporting.

However, it was the holidays, and many people were on leave.

Getting a private flight approved would take longer than usual, so taking a commercial flight was the fastest option.

"Dad, I'll come too." Jaylene gritted her teeth and said reluctantly after receiving a glance from Darcie.

"It's okay.

Stella and I will bring Trevor back.

Just wait for us at home with your mom.

If...If Trevor didn't board the plane, he'll definitely call us."
