Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1244

As we left the region and returned to the main road, we saw a sizable village nearby. It was vibrant because it was on the main road, lined with several restaurants.

Before getting out of the car, Atlas made a phone call.

I asked quietly, "Why didn't we leave?"

"Just to let Navi know that we dare to openly appear under his nose, it puts invisible pressure on him! Stella is an insider of the organization; she probably came back to guide Navi," Atlas whispered to me.

"But what about Dylan and the others inside?" I felt a bit anxious. "I wonder if they've found any clues yet."

"I believe they will soon!" Atlas said confidently.

"How do you know?" I asked back.

"Once Stella gives Navi a direction, he won't stand still!" Atlas said. "We'll eat and wait at the same time!"

"Are you saying that Stella might lead my dad out?" I asked.

"Even if she doesn't take, Navi will definitely make a move, which might make it easier to find out his exact location!" Atlas said confidently.

I ultimately agreed with his inference. Since Stella had been confirmed as part of the organization, she must have returned for Rory, which would lead to action.

The organization feared Rory falling into Atlas's clutches the most.

Having been under Navi's control for so long, Stella couldn't be unaware of this as Navi's foster daughter. She was genuinely adept at playing both sides.

I couldn't comprehend why the organization hadn't demanded Rory’s return. Stella most likely did this.

What kind of person was she in the organization to be so flexible? Could she keep Navi and the organization at peace? Could she still manipulate Celine Pierce?

I had to admit I had underestimated Stella.

We had breakfast in the village. I knew Atlas was doing it on purpose, and I knew that deep down Navi knew we had yet to go very far, either.

And I was sure there were quite a few of Navi's men in this village. Atlas took me back to the nearby inn to relax after breakfast, having Cane set up two rooms.
