"..." Listening to Justin Shields, Stella felt a headache coming on.
Justin Shields said, "Listen, just take a shower and get some rest. You're just exhausted."
He then made an excuse. "I've got something to do."
And with that, he hung up.
After hanging up, Justin Shields sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples. His sister's words echoed in his head, and a part of him really wanted her to come back.
But he couldn't let her give up such a great opportunity.
Once Stella married Silas Hawthorne, he would never have to fear Nathan Fawcett again.
With such a powerful backer, he would no longer have to fear Nathan Fawcett coming after him.
Justin Shields hadn't contacted Nathan Fawcett since that last incident.
And to be fair, Nathan Fawcett hadn't targeted the Shields Family like he used to.
But the memory of how easily Fawcett could have crushed him underfoot had been a harsh wake-up call for Justin Shields.
