Natalie's heart sank, "What happened?" "Someone tried to kidnap your friend just now. There was a gunfight. Your friend's mother died in order to save your friend," Allen said in a low voice. "What?" Natalie's head was buzzing and her nerves were numb. She could not believe that this was happening. In a panic, she tried to confirm again, "Did you just say that Eli's mother is dead?" "I'm so sorry. I wasn't able to do what I had promised you. There were ten of them, all of whom were top-ranked mercenaries from abroad. My men killed nine of them, and one of them committed suicide," Allen explained. Natalie Wheeler was silent. Her heart could not bear the burden. How could Eli provoke these mercenaries? How did these mercenaries know where Eli was? The only explanation was that the news was spread from Sean Yaleman. Natalie hung up the phone directly, her eyes red. She then called Sean. Sean did not answer the call. She clenched
Jasper Milton stared at her, "So, you drove me away just because you were afraid that you would pull me down?" "Isn't that the truth? When I jumped into the sea, I didn't think about surviving. Eli sacrificed herself to save me, and then I eventually caused her mother's death. If I were to stay with you, things might change again. In order to help me save Eli, you would offend Sean, and he would take you on as his opponent. Sean is cruel and merciless and his means are extremely tricky. You are just a businessman now, even if you had your father to back you up, you might not be able to fight against him. And Frederick, he is a freak. If he knows that I am Stella, he may frame you again. It's not because he loves me very much, but because he just couldn't accept rejection," Natalie Wheeler analyzed and calmed down gradually. She seemed to have said something that she shouldn't have said. Her emotions were getting the better of her. She should have let Jaspe
"We'll talk about this later." Jasper Milton didn't want to promise her anything. "You've been sleeping for so long. You should be starving now since you haven't eaten anything for the whole day." It was only then that she remembered that she had missed a couple of meals. However, she didn't seem to feel hungry either. Jasper turned around and went out of the room. She looked at the white ceiling and spaced out for a while. She was wondering how Eli Wayne was doing. She took out her cell phone and called Allen. "How is Eli now?" Stella Grace asked worriedly. "She just cremated her mother, and she is still quite emotional. Sean's men are monitoring her but they haven't taken any actions." Allen said in a low voice. "Please transfer them to D Country as soon as possible. Sean has an enemy in D Country, so his influence is the weakest there. Relatively speaking, Eli will be safer when she goes there. Moreover, the person behind the scenes has alre
"I don't think that that's a good idea." Stella Grace was not ready for this. "What's wrong with it?" Jasper Milton asked while staring at her coldly. "I think it would be better if I were to be your assistant for the time being. Marriage... it's a bit too rushed." "Of course you're not in a hurry. You're still in your twenties. You still have a lot of pursuers. Besides Frederick, there's a French nobleman who is going after you. Maybe another man will appear another day." Jasper said sourly. "That's not what I meant. I will feel a little uneasy if get married and become your assistant. Why don't we wait till I am pregnant, then I will have more time to prepare for our ceremony. Plus, if I am pregnant, I will probably feel bored if I have nothing to do at home," Stella explained. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone know that you are married to me," Jasper said in a low voice, and his eyes became colder. "Or, are you having second thoughts about marrying me?"
When she first named the dog, she didn't think much. She just thought that Apollo sounded nice and bright. However, she had always loved him deeply. Stella Grace smirked and she put her hand on his waist gently. "We will be happy in the future." "Yes, we will." "I'll cook first then. I'll call you once I'm done," Stella said softly. "I'll be in the study. Let's get the marriage certificate in the evening," Jasper said. Stella's eyes sparkled. She remembered the last time they got married, both of them were very happy. On the day of their marriage, Bettany Hadley came back. What was left with her was pain, which made her illness go out of control. At present, her mental illness was under control, but she was still a little scared. "Do you plan to tell your parents?" "I'll let you decide. I'll let them know if you want them to. If you don't want them to know, I will hide it from them forever. Even if we have children, they will be our
Stella Grace understood, "Let's take it one step at a time then. We should be more cautious and wait for the enemy to make a mistake." Jasper Milton kissed her on the forehead, "About having another child, let's just allow nature to take its course, alright? After all, we already have Dante." Stella nodded, "I'll cook first then." She turned around and went into the kitchen. Jasper followed her into the kitchen. "I'll help you." Stella smiled happily. While she was washing the vegetables, she said softly, "I missed the life we had on that deserted island. We got up at sunrise and rested at sunset. Every day was filled with surprises. We threw our troubles aside when we were there. It was like a paradise." "When Dante is old enough, I will pass the company to him. Then, we can live on the island. I have already bought the island, so it's mine now. I sent some scientists to study the island. Research shows that under normal circumstances, the island wo
"What is it?" Stella Grace waited for Jasper Milton to speak. "Hale was arrested. She will probably be court-martialed soon and she will most likely be executed." Jasper said seriously. Stella's heart skipped a beat as she thought of Hale Summer. She thought that she had led a miserable life, but it seemed that she was a tad luckier compared to Hale. "Where did she get caught?" Stella asked with sympathy in her eyes. "She was caught as soon as she landed at the airport in A country. My former subordinate caught her. He didn't report it immediately. He told me about the arrest first." Jasper said in a low voice. "Do you think that she is the spy?" Stella pulled her seat belt and asked. "In the beginning, I thought only both of us had survived. There was no one else apart from her. However, Bettany appeared later. The spy was definitely one of them. However, Bettany was disfigured, imprisoned, and suffered inhuman treatment. She even gave b
Please? Why was she pleading her? Was Hale asking her to save her? Or was she asking for help with other matters? Stella Grace realized that her hands were trembling. Hale Summer lowered her head and wrote the secret on Stella's hand. "That operation never existed." Stella did not understand. "What do you mean?" "It was just a drill. The mission was fake, but the deaths were real." Stella still didn't understand what she meant and she looked at Hale suspiciously. "Tell Jasper. He will understand what I'm saying. If the whole operation was fake, how could there be spies?" Hale continued to write. Stella felt a chill on her back. "How did you know that?" "I needed money, so I accepted some missions. During one of the missions, I was assigned to S Country and I met a minister there. I sneaked into their database and discovered a scandal. The Vice President of their country was our rescue target. He had a secret lover in X Country
The bullet pierced through his chest, and blood dyed Joseph's silver coat red immediately. "Joseph!" Waverly's eyes were bloodshot, and her roaring voice was choked. He looked at her, and wanted to smile, but he didn't have the energy to do so. He fell a few steps back, and leaned against the window. The sea breeze tousled his hair into a mess. "Let go of me!" Waverly struggled, but they were too strong and she couldn't escape. "Push him down, and make sure he dies," said the person who was holding Waverly captive. "No!" Waverly yelled, but her efforts were futile. They walked up to Joseph and pushed him down the window ruthlessly. She screamed, "Joseph Mccarthy!" The person who was grabbing Waverly released her all of a sudden, and she rushed to the window as fast as lightning. Then, she jumped into the sea without hesitation. Joseph had been shot, and his blood diffused into the sea rapidly. Waverly dived into the red pool of blo
Boris asked, "What's the solution?" Breddy answered, "We'll have to make her take the initiative to face it." Boris sighed, "That's easier said than done." Shaking his head, Breddy replied, "It's not too hard. You said it yourself that she's a kind person. She would even help a complete stranger, so what makes you think she won't save a person that's extremely important to her?" Boris was stunned. Breddy continued, "If this person was heavily injured for her, she would realize that there's someone in this world who still loves her, and she'll naturally want to stay in this world for a little longer. By then, she'll be willing to open up her heart." Boris took a pause, and said, "But who is this person?" To the Waverly Martell of the past, Bellamy was everything to her. However, at present, he was nothing. She cared about everyone, but she refused to let others care about her. It seemed as if she had already merged into the world, but th
Waverly frowned and looked at Breddy's left hand. She saw as he put the coin in his left hand, "What if I want you to jump off the top floor?" "Then I'll jump right down." Breddy said affirmatively. He raised his smile and looked incredibly confident. His character was like the calm deep blue sea, vast and far-reaching, which made her feel at ease. Waverly's eyes once again fell on his left hand. "Believe in what you've seen. Things aren't as complicated as they seem. It's just that simple," Breddy reminded her. Waverly pointed at his left hand. As expected, the coin was in the palm of his hand when he opened it. "You won. What do you want me to do?" asked Breddy. Waverly looked coldly at the man in front of her. She would even save a stranger whom she didn't know, so how could she ask Breddy, who was treating her, to seek death? She had no idea why, but judging by his self-confidence, he seemed like he was playing house with
Waverly hesitated. "Just talk to the psychiatrist. Perhaps he would give you new ideas and inspirations. Didn't we agree that will be better for our future?" Boris encouraged her. "We are leaving tomorrow. We might not have time. Thank you for your kindness," Waverly said. "I have made an appointment at ten o'clock in the evening in the hotel. He will come to the hotel," Boris said. "Y-you have arranged an appointment for me today?" Waverly had an unspeakable strange feeling in her heart. Even after knowing the death of his girlfriend, Boris could still call a psychiatrist for her. Did he do so out of friendship, generosity or because he pitied her? "My girlfriend said that she wanted me to do my best to help others on her behalf," Boris said with a smile. "The heavens must have summoned her back to be an angel," Waverly comforted Boris. "I think so too." It was night. Waverly ate a little, took a shower, stayed in the r
Cadwell looked at the files in his hand. They were very thick. He flipped through them briefly. There were twelve pages in it. The files talked about a lot about the nation's history, analyzing the cause, the process, and the result of those incidents. It also explained a few things regarding Queen Danina and Prince Caesar. It analyzed their personalities and gave a prediction on what the future would be like. The analysis was flawless. Every word was written in perfect unison. He could prepare himself in times of danger, so he could exert the right amount of pressure when needed. Furthermore, she had given him two plans, one of which was to work with her and expand his diplomatic power in M Country. She represented the Mccarthy family and also the highest level of weapons. Of course, if he did not feel that such a cooperation was necessary, they would still maintain a good relationship. After all, there was no hatred between him and the Mccarthy family. He woul
"I was wrong. I've realized deeply that I was in the wrong. I should bad-mouth you rather than Madam. Mr. Mccarthy, I should offend you rather than offend Madam," Yadriel lowered his head and said in a low tone. Joseph stood up and walked up to him, "You feel wronged?" "I feel wronged on your behalf." Yadriel's eyes were red as he said, "Mr. Mccarthy, I know very well that even though you've treated her so well, she has never treated you fairly. As soon as Bellamy went to find her, she threw everything away. She didn't even want the title of Peace Lady and was willing to follow Bellamy again. Does she know how much effort, energy and time you've spent in order to earn the title of Peace Lady for her?" "She likes Bellamy, so naturally she doesn't need to think about what's fair or not with him," Joseph said clearly. "If so, why are you treating her so well?" Yadriel didn't understand Joseph's actions. "You're my best friend," Joseph said with sadness in his
Waverly sat down on the sofa, "How's your relationship with Madam Lenny?" "Oh, Madam Lenny has an excellent relationship with Queen Danina. In the past, I even had a meal with Queen Danina with her help," Thomas said. "Do you know why the relationship between her and Queen Danina is so good?" Waverly asked. "I can only say that Madam Lenny has brilliant judgement. In addition to that, she's quite capable. When Queen Danina wasn't a queen yet, they were already close friends." "Perhaps Madam Lenny invested quite a bit of effort in making Queen Danina the queen. Thus, their friendship is incredibly firm and unshakable. At the moment, Prince Caesar is one of the most popular heirs to the throne. Once he becomes king, perhaps Madam Lenny's status will become even more unwavering." "Besides that, according to what I know, Madam Lenny has a strong relationship with many other countries. If those strong countries join forces, then there's no way to break through
"When my friend sent me the video, I asked him to delete it immediately. I came here with a lot of sincerity. Since you've said so, I suppose we don't have to talk about the agreement anymore. I will leave Mexiland in a moment. I'd better not interfere with your business, lest I offend both parties," Waverly said coldly. "Who is your friend? If you don't tell me, I can only treat you as one of them. If you want to leave Mexiland, it won't be that easy," Thomas warned. "Joseph. It was Joseph who gave me the video," Waverly said and hung up. The phone rang with another call from Thomas. Waverly answered and her tone was impatient as she said, "Is there anything else?" "Why did Joseph do that? I don't have anything against him," Thomas didn't understand. "What he wants must be done. If you don't understand him, you can ask your friends about him. I have already told him not to do this, but you insisted on beating around the bush. According to my underst
Agnes smiled, "Okay." "Go rest," Waverly said and slowly closed the door. She stood by the window and looked at the traffic downstairs. Truth be told, she was quite far away and the road was so dark that she couldn't see much with her naked eyes. At most, she could feel the cars rushing by with their bright lights switched on. She wondered where the people in the cars were rushing to. Were they going home or going out to have fun? Did they have desires in their hearts or were they lost in pretense and living like a walking corpse, interacting with people every day? At the moment, she had no other choice but to march forward bravely. She didn't want to go back. She picked up her phone and blocked Bellamy's phone number with a cold and emotionless gaze. It was as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart and she felt much more relaxed. She threw her phone on the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. After bathing, she laid on t
