"Stella, don't come up," Jasper said solemnly. As he surveyed the situation inside, his gaze became sharper and sharper. Stella Grace was puzzled. "What's wrong? What's up there?" "Don't go up if you're told not to. Stop spouting nonsense." Benjamin Levis pushed Stella away and climbed the ladder. He had a lot of experience in criminal cases. But when he saw the scene inside, his expression didn't look good. Tommy followed after him. After a while, he quickly got down from the ladder and slumped against the wall, nauseous. When Stella Grace was about to go up, Jasper's subordinates stopped her. "Mr. Milton told you not to go up." "I'm not scared," Stella said and was about to go up. Benjamin came down and called the police. Jasper jumped from the ladder too. "What's going on?" Stella asked Jasper.. "I took a brief look, there are six bodies there," Jasper explained. "Six? Shouldn't there only be two? Let me go and have
"Why are you here?" Stella Grace asked in surprise, drying her wet hair with a towel. Jasper Milton got up, took the towel from her hands, and dried her hair. He said in a deep voice, "I asked you to send me a message. Why didn't you do it?" Stella heard his dissatisfaction. She didn't want to send him a message because she wanted to have a good rest tonight. However, he found her anyway. She would be screwed if she told him honestly. Stella found an excuse. "I was planning to text you after my shower. There's a bad smell on me." She pointed at the bathroom. "Do you want to shower as well?" Jasper threw the towel on the chair and looked into her eyes. Stella pursed her lips and didn't utter a word. "I shall trust you for now." Jasper walked to her bathroom. Stella watched him. The offer was just a courtesy, she didn't expect Jasper to take her so seriously. He wouldn't sleep here tonight, would he? I
She told Benjamin Levis that she had given birth to stop him from pestering her again. She didn't expect that he would bring this up in front of Jasper Milton. It seemed like he did it on purpose. Jasper looked at her. His eyes were deep and dark, like a bottomless pit. She didn't know how to respond. Benjamin smiled and said, "You're not lying, are you?" Stella bit into a watermelon and stared at Benjamin. She tried to think of an answer that would make Jasper to not be suspicious of her as well as stop Benjamin from pestering her. But she just got more and more nervous. In the end, she decided to just dodge the question. "Are you very free?" "I just want to know why you act like a woman with me and a girl with other men?" Benjamin asked in a strange tone. "I think you like me and I don't want to give you any hope. So I found something you can't accept to make you stay away from me," Stella replied bluntly. "What?" Benjamin w
She felt like knocking her head against the wall. The more she tried to hide her relationship with Jasper, the more she was afraid of being caught red-handed. She couldn't bear it if their secret was exposed. She was worried, but did not know where to turn to for help. "Inspector Grace, were you with Mr. Milton when we were on the train?" Benjamin's assistant asked in surprise. Stella kept her head down and did not respond. "Yes, she was with me," Jasper answered for Stella. "Don't tell me you're her boyfriend, are you?" Benjamin's assistant asked as if she just uncovered the secret of the century. Jasper went silent. Stella could not stand the pressure anymore. She needed to bounce back and explain. "No, he is not. I knew him because my best friend is working as a doctor at the military base." Jasper looked at Stella coldly. His eyes were as deep as a lake, and his tightly pursed lips showed his displeasure. "Oh. Let
Jasper Milton squinted. He saw resentment in her eyes. It was bitter, disdainful, and self-mocking. "Do you hate me?" Jasper asked. Stella Grace did not deny it. "Love became hate. I guess I can never be loved," Stella said as she shoved his hand off and walked away. Jasper frowned as he watched her leave, deep in thought. They were still fine on the train yesterday, but she seemed to have become another person today. He felt very uncomfortable with her cool, mean, and distant attitude. However, there was one thing that was long overdue. Jasper dialed a number. Katty Davis picked up. She couldn't believe it, Jasper never called her before. "Jasper." Jasper got straight to the point. "Katty, it's unlikely that I will marry you in the future. You should break off our engagement." Katty was nervous. "What do you mean by that?" "You know very well what you have been doing for the past three years. I may h
Jasper Milton arrogantly let go of Stella Grace's wrist, turned around, and quickly disappeared from her sight. Stella closed the door. The world was finally quiet. Her wish was fulfilled. But why was there an overwhelming sense of loss, sadness, and regret in her heart? Stella didn't have lunch at noon. She simply didn't want to go, probably because she wanted to avoid Jasper. She made herself some instant soup and took a few sips. The soup was too salty, so she decided to go out and get some fruit. She opened her door and ran into Benjamin Levis. He looked like he was about to knock. "Yes?" "They got Dolly Summer and brought her and her witnesses to the police station. One of them is her partner, and the other one is a photographer. I suspect that they came into a consensus to give the same information. They all said that they were filming when the murder happened," Benjamin said seriously. "Where are the videos?" St
Stella Grace frowned. "You've forgotten everything, you don't know anything, and what you think you didn't forget is raw speculation." Her voice trembled. Jasper looked at her, and her tearful little face reflected in his dark eyes. He didn't know what happened to them in the past. Jasper also could not understand why Stella kept refusing or why she thought he didn't like her. What he did know for sure was that his heart ached when he saw her crying. He felt even worse when she said she wanted to give up on him. Jasper lowered his head and kissed the tears on her face. It was salty. There was a bittersweet feeling in his heart. "Help me remember then. I won't let you go before I can regain my memory," he said Stella pushed him. "You are wasting our time." Jasper held her hand. "You don't have a boyfriend anyway, do you?" Although it was true, she knew that she didn't want to fall into the same trap again. There was a knock on the d
Stella Grace was worried that someone would see him sleeping on her bed. "Go back to your room and sleep there." Jasper Milton ignored her, he didn't even open his eyes. Stella couldn't do anything about it. She watched him sleeping peacefully. The room was finally quiet. As she was about to continue watching the videos, she heard Benjamin Levis' voice from outside the door, "Open the door." Stella frowned. She wouldn't know how to clarify things if Benjamin saw Jasper in her room. "Jasper, get up and hide somewhere." Jasper continued to ignore her. "Jasper!" Stella pushed him harder. Jasper held her hand and pulled her into his arms. He turned over, pressing her under his body, and kissed her chattering lips. "Stella, I know you're in there. Come out now, I have to talk to you. Stella!" Benjamin knocked on the door more vigorously. Stella looked at the door. She was worried but her lips were blocked, she couldn't make a sound
