It was already 10 a.m. when Stella Grace woke up. Jasper Milton was not by her side. She got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and stepped out of the room. Jasper was not in the living room either. She wanted to say goodbye to him before leaving, so she gave him a call. "When will you be leaving?" Jasper asked. "In the afternoon. It's already ten o'clock, I'll leave after lunch. Will you be coming back for lunch? If you are, I'll cook for you as well," Stella replied softly. "Okay, I'll be there in an hour." Jasper hung up and looked at the report in his hand. There were two types of medications in Stella's bag. One was the sleeping pills, and the other was Chlorpromazine. The sedative in Chlorpromazine was generally used to cure those with manic depressive disorder. Why would Stella carry this kind of medicine with her? He remembered when Stella quarreled with him, she mentioned something about being sick as well.
He liked what she said - "Our future may be full of thorns, but as long as we face these challenges hand in hand, we will definitely conquer them together." Marriage was only the beginning of a new life, not the end. After lunch, he took her to the train station. He greeted the station master. The train was set for Yale City and Jasper Milton had bought her a first-class ticket. When Stella Grace was about to walk towards the platform, she realized that she was reluctant to leave him. She turned her head and looked at him. The corner of Jasper's lips curved up slightly. He was calm and composed. Even though he was out of the military base, he still stood straight and tall. His assuring gaze gave Stella a sense of security. No matter how reluctant they were to leave each other, they knew they had to part ways. Stella got on the bullet train. A notification came to her phone. She tapped on the screen and saw Jasper's message. "I've reserved
"I'll go with you. I've assisted in FBI cases before. I hope that I could be of some help. Just treat this as a way of repaying you for introducing customers to me." Stella Grace said. On one hand, she was determined to help Rolland Cher out. On the other hand, Rolland's ex-girlfriend's father had a special identity, so she wanted to take this opportunity to understand him better. "Then, I'm sorry to be of trouble to you." Rolland said apologetically. "Please don't mention it." Half an hour later, Rolland arrived in a private residential area that was located in the city center. Stella noticed that the outer wall of these private properties looked quite old. Every house was at least 20 meters apart. These people used fences to seal up their front door. They made some parking spaces and planted some greens. There were even street lights and surveillance cameras. Policemen were standing in front of Rolland's ex-girlfriend's house, and they had set up a
"I've done the necessary paperwork here. Normally, it would be approved within three days. I will use my connections and it should be approved by tomorrow evening. I will give you a call after it's done. If everything goes well, I should be able to arrive at your place tomorrow." Jasper Milton stated. Stella Grace smiled. She was quite excited when she thought about him coming tomorrow. They had just parted their ways today, but she felt as if they had been separated for ages. "Have you eaten?" Stella asked out of concern. "Yes, and I made a phone call just now. The director of the Yale City police department will pick you up tomorrow. You have full authority over this case." "That's great. Let's talk about the details after I've seen the information tomorrow. I've checked the perimeters today. There is a surveillance camera installed outside their room. If the camera is working, not only would it be easy for us to find the murderer, there might be an unex
In the past, she used to shoulder everything on her own. She would keep to herself no matter how serious the matter was. She was so used to suppressing everything in her heart. Now, she finally had a person she could trust and confide in. Stella Grace gave Jasper Milton a call. He answered quickly, "Your call came much later than I expected." "Are you busy now?" Stella was worried that she was disturbing him. "I remember I once told you that you are the most important person to me. I will deal with your things first, only then move on to the others." The corner of her mouth curved upwards slightly. Her eyes trembled, she was moved by his words. Jasper was not a romantic person. However, his words always sounded very sweet to her, just like molten chocolate. "Jasper, have your subordinates gotten any news on Titus' whereabouts?" Stella queried. "Not yet. I have yet to receive any report." "Frederick just called. He is with Titu
Jasper Milton had a bad hunch. It was not even six o'clock in the morning yet. The 111 Special Operations Group wouldn't have come if they did not have any concrete evidence. The 111 Special Operations Group was responsible for monitoring hostile activities carried out by spies. Titus' rescue operation went too smoothly. It was so smooth that he felt that something was amiss. He was right. "Let them in," Jasper ordered in a deep voice. Eight people from the 111 Special Operations Group stepped into his office. Their faces were solemn and unhappy. They showed the warrant to Jasper and said, "Someone reported that you had taken a list by force." "What list?" Jasper did not know. One of the officers glanced at the guard. Jasper waved his hand and said, "Leave us alone." The guard knew that it was classified information, so he didn't dare to linger and left quickly. He closed the door behind him as he left. The officer continued,
Why did it turn out this way? Why? Weren't there treasures underneath that land? Since when did they become military weapons? Could it be that the treasures were actually military weapons? That didn't make sense. It was an ancient map and there were no military weapons back in those days. Was this all a trap set up by Frederick Addington? Where did they go wrong? Stella took a deep breath and regained her composure, "I'll contact you later." She hung up and walked out of the hotel. She called Rolland Cher. "Rolland, I'd like to ask you something. Do you remember about the land that you had mentioned to me before? The one that you were trying to buy? Where is it? Could you send the address to me?" Stella said hastily. "What's wrong? Is that land the key to solving this case?" Rolland was confused. "Apparently loads of military weapons were found underneath that land. Did you know about that?" Stella asked as she wal
"Stella." Stella Grace stood mindlessly on the pavement for a long time. It was not until Rolland Cher had called her a few times that she snapped back to her senses. She looked blankly at Rolland, who was in the car. Her mind was in a mess. She was reflecting on everything she had done wrong. A person's confidence was born out of ignorance. Arrogance was also born out of ignorance. She thought that she was smart. She thought that it was the right choice to tell Jasper about Titus. Little did she know that it would turn out to be such a conspiracy. She overestimated her intelligence. She was incompetent and powerless, but she thought she had it all figured out. Everything she did in the past was like a clown's act. She struggled and gasped for her life, but ultimately she was still under someone's else control. It wouldn't have mattered if she died. After all, she had never really cared about life or death. However, Jasper's t
