Miley gripped Stellaâs ice-cold hand even tighter.
âStella, letâs go.
Pay no attention to this deranged woman.

With that, she forcibly led Stella away.
In the car, Stellaâs silence was unsettling.
Miley cast a worried glance at her.

Shawnaâs words had been a stark warning that her path at the company, with Matthew in it, would become even more challenging.
Walls have ears.
