Stella felt that he seems a bit eccentric. But she didn't know why. Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed or is he upset with something specifically? "It's not the first time that we slept in the same room. I trust you," Stella said politely. He frowned slightly, and his eyes looked more serious. "Why do you trust me?" He was aggressive, the inexplicable pressure made her unable to breathe. "Are you alright?" Stella stretched her hand towards his forehead. He grabbed her wrist before she could reach him. His palm is hot, like a lit-up cigarette. He also felt that he was falling sick. Sleeping in the same room, without taking advantage of her, no one else in the world can hold back like him. He felt a gush of fire-filled his head and disintegrated his sanity. He grabbed the back of her head and leaned forward to kiss her. His lips were warm. A fresh scent of toothpaste
Stella grinned sharply and stated, "I'm a married woman. How is it possible to be your woman?" Jasper heard her refusal and did not want to argue further. That's it. "We're not in the same world hence it's pointless to be companions. Get into the car and I'll send you back." Jasper said gently. Stella lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes were fluttering, leaving a shadow under her eyes while covering the sadness in her. Without a doubt, Jasper and she were definitely not in the same world. Since they couldn't be companions, why should they force it? She had consistently been distant from everyone else and had lived alone all the while. "Don't worry. I can get myself home. Thank you, chief, for sparing me. I wish you happiness." Stella gestured, turned around, and strolled towards the entryway of the hotel. Jasper clenched his teeth and his eyes were brimming with disturbance. His nails holding the steering w
Stella returned to her office. Eli Wayne passed by and saw Stella. She returned and asked with concern, "Stella, how did it go yesterday?" "I'm going to get a divorce." Stella said serenely. "Really? You made a good decision. I fully support your decision." She grinned cheekily once more. "Is it true that you went to meet the handsome gentleman yesterday evening?" "No." Stella shook her head and felt somewhat desolate. "I won't meet him again." "Why? If it's because he thinks you're hitched. You're getting a divorce soon," Eli Wayne said in perplexity. "Our lifestyles are too different. I need to lease a house, and go to a law firm later. If I want to get a divorce, I need to show the evidence of Federick's infidelity." Stella thought. "The proof of Federick's disloyalty? It's straightforward. I'll handle that for you." Eli Wayne said without hesitating. "Thank you," Stella said earnestly. The marriage, w
"I am divorced, and his family will not agree," Stella said with self-acknowledgment. Eli shook Stella's head. "Why are you so pedantic? You and Federick have no children. What era is it now? A divorce is more common than the unmarried." Eli said. "Let's not talk about this anymore. I've to finish my work," Stella said. Eli saw a gift bag on Stella's table. Eli curiously took it out to have a look. There was a Chanel pink gauze dress. At first glance, she knew that the dress was very expensive. "Is it from Federick?" Eli asked in disgust. "Yes," Stella answered without looking at the dress. "Federick is generous to women, but he is generous to more than one woman. You won't be fooled by him, will you?" Eli asked worriedly. Stella looked up and her eyes were as clear as water. "I've already given up on Federick," Stella said. Eli gave Stella a thumbs-up as a sign of agreement. "That's right. I've been ke
"What happened this morning?" Federick asked and looked at Stella with a dangerous look in his eyes. Stella disliked Federick's attitude, pretending to be caring. When did she cry in his arms? Stella sneered and said sarcastically, "I was already crying. Didn't I tell you what happened already?" Federick hated Stella's reaction. He curled up the corner of his mouth, but his eyes became cold. Federick's mouth reached Stella's ear and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear, "Yes, how can you be afraid of what happened in the morning? You love rolling in bed with me." Jasper looked at Stella coldly. Stella had an impulse to slap Federick's face. His words made her feel nauseous. He touched Stella's thigh and pinched her hard as if he was punishing her. "Bang." Felicia accidentally knocked the cups on the table. Stella stared at Felicia in surprise. Felicia looked at Federick with her big, wate
Stella went out of the club, feeling depressed. Her mind was in a mess. She knew it was because of Jasper. She seemed to be a little... interested in him. There was a rush of footsteps behind her. Stella turned around subconsciously. A man with a mask came over and sprayed something on her five times. She smelled a strong scent of alcohol. Stella's eyes darkened and she felt as if she was hallucinating. The masked man carried her and put her in the car. "What are you doing?" Jasper caught up and asked. A mysterious hand was placed on his shoulder. A sharp look flashed across Jasper's eyes. Jasper threw a shoulder-length swing back at him. The man, still with a spray-on his hand, was thrown to the ground. Jasper rushed toward Stella. But, another person rushed out and stood in front of Jasper blocking his way. Jasper couldn't afford to stop and rushed
Stella could not see his face clearly. She closed her eyes and urged, "Hurry up." "It will hurt a little if I go in now. Just endure it." Jasper said worriedly. If it weren't for the efficacy of the medicine, he would have carefully prepared the entree . She nodded wildly. Jasper was unbuttoning his belt but suddenly the curtains opened up. Jasper looked at the door warily. Lieutenant Johnson came with his soldiers. There was also a doctor. "Chief, are you okay?" Asked Lieutenant Johnson worriedly. Jasper was in a trance. If they came a little later, he would have done it with Stella. He was a little annoyed. He stood up and said to the doctor, "Give her a sedative first." "Yes." The doctor gave Stella a sedative. Stella, who was in pain, watched feebly as the liquid in the pinhole hit in. The commotion in her body gradually disappeared. She fell asleep. Looking at Stella's
Felicia's cell phone rang. She saw it was from Sean. When she walked into her room to answer the phone and said coyly, "Sean." "Felicia, who is that Jasper?" Sean asked. "What's wrong?" Felicia scowled and felt annoyed, but her voice was still as soft as usual. "Shit, Jasper actually investigated the source of the car, and he has found out that Blackie is my assistant. He is about to track me down." "Don't panic. It's okay. Why don't you do another thing for me? I'll arrange for Blackie to go abroad. Without Blackie, they won't be able to track you down." Felicia said gloomily. "What else do you want me to do?" Sean asked irritably. A fierce light flashed in Felicia's eyes. "Kill Stella and make it look like an accident!" If Stella dies, Felicia could be Mrs. Addington. "I didn't expect a gentle person like you to be so cruel." Sean sneered. "I'm not being cruel! I just don't want them to track you." Feli
