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
Before heading back, Stella Grace bought herself a new cellphone. She also got herself a new phone number just to be safe. On the way to the police station, she duplicated every phone number of the people she knew, including Frederick's. Then she sent him a message. Frederick Addington received the message and called her immediately. Stella answered it. "Did you change your phone and number? Are you trying to escape?" He said in a very disdainful tone. "If I had planned to escape, I wouldn't have sent you the message. I have decided to accept your terms, but I have something else to deal with now. I will go to your place when I come back the day after tomorrow," Stella replied coldly. "Are you still trying to fight your way through? It's impossible for you to win this time. I have the upper hand now. If I want him dead, then he will not live to see another day." Frederick said arrogantly, his tone was laced with confidence. "Frederick, you can be qui
Wendy's parents went along to have a look. There wasn't any suspicious person in the surveillance footage between 2100 hours the night before yesterday until 1700 hours yesterday evening. Everything seemed to be normal. Stella Grace reviewed the recordings for three more times, but she still couldn't find anyone suspicious. "Wendy couldn't have bought those drugs herself. It's impossible. Wendy had always been very well-behaved. She wouldn't buy these things. I don't recall her having any difficulties in her life either." Wendy's mother said in confusion. "I'm going to kill those b*stards." Wendy's father could no longer hold his composure. Stella saw through his emotions and thoughts. He must have thought that those people had harassed his daughter. "Uncle, please calm down. The possibility for your daughter having taken those drugs on her own is zero. It wouldn't make sense for her to take the drug while holding on to her phone. Also, she most cert
Rolland Cher stood by the door and gazed inside apologetically. He didn't step in. Wendy's father closed the door and shut Rolland out. Stella Grace knew what to do. Wendy's father was probably referring to Rolland when he mentioned about being ungrateful. Wendy's father probably tried to mislead the person behind the scene about the false location of the treasure. He had also deliberately told Rolland to confuse the person behind the scene and to gain his daughter's lover back. Once they got married, he would tell Rolland the actual location of the treasure. Everything he did was for his daughter. Unfortunately, she was killed by a love rival. As furious he was with Rolland, he was angry with himself as well. If he had not tempted Rolland with the treasure, he wouldn't have broken up with her. If they never broke up, his daughter wouldn't have to die. Thus, in the end, Wendy's father gave Stella the notebook which contained informa
At midnight, Stella followed Frederick back to his apartment. He took the medicine from the refrigerator and sat on the chair in front of the dining table. He then coldly gestured Stella to sit next to him. Stella Grace took a look at the blue medicine and the syringe in his hand. She sat next to Frederick Addington then rolled up her sleeves to expose her fair arms. Frederick's lips twitched. "Aren't you afraid of dying? I told you before that once the symptoms kick in, not only would you feel as if your body is being torn apart, you could also die in the most painful way as well." Yet Stella stared at Frederick calmly. Sometimes, death could have its significance. Rather than her struggling to survive, it would worth more to exchange her life for Jasper Milton's. "Weren't you the one who insisted on having me injected with this?" Stella asked coldly. "Haha." Frederick chuckled. That was true, he was the one who insisted on the injection
Stella's mouth curved into a cold smile. She stared at Jasper Milton with her icy-cold eyes. "Are you saying that you're done for this time?" Jasper looked at Stella Grace expression in surprise. It was too strange and horrifying. He was puzzled and called out, "Stella?" Stella sneered and raised her chin. "Ah. It really wasn't easy to ruin your reputation and for you to meet your end." Jasper's heart sank. He gazed at Stella and questioned, "What do you mean by that?" He felt as if Stella had changed into another person, she was like a stranger. It looked as if she just came from hell. Stella shot Jasper a cold glare with no warmth in her eyes. "Jasper, the explosion didn't kill you three years ago. However, three years later, you are still going to die in my hands." "Were you the one who arranged that explosion three years ago?" Jasper looked at her incredulously. He couldn't believe it at all. "Hah." Stella scoffed and continued,
"I'll soon be dead. You could still live by his side happily." Jasper Milton said coldly while locking Stella Grace in his gaze. She still refused to look at him. "Without this divorce settlement, I'm still considered as you wife after your death. I don't want to bear this title, Jasper." "Indeed, it would be stupid of me to continue staying with a person who hated me to the core," Jasper took the agreement and the pen from Stella's hand. Stella saw him signing his name neatly in the agreement. His handwriting was beautiful, upright and smooth. Stella turned her face away and her eyes were fogging up. There was a time when she tried her best to get married. But today, she destroyed this relationship with her own hands. Jasper tossed the pen and agreement on the ground and spoke in a cold voice, "You can get lost now." "I have another piece of agreement with me. Please sign it as well." Stella handed Jasper his marital agreement with Betta
