Stella was also in a quandary. The weather was cold, and Jasper would only come at night. The food would be cold by the time he arrived. She was afraid that it might upset his stomach. ''Lynette, prepare an induction cooker secretly and put it in the library. Don't get caught,'' Stella ordered. Lynette finally understood why Stella had cooked so much. The Chief was coming. She smiled and said, "Consider it done." Suzi came home in the evening. She looked very exhausted. "Mom, is the company doing alright?" Stella asked with concern. Suzi shook her head with a smile, "Don't worry, I can handle it." "What's the matter?" Stella noticed that something was off. "A batch of goods were faulty and returned recently. The company's technical department has already gone to M Country to see what had gone wrong," Suzi said. "Do we need to compensate for the goods?" Stella asked after thinking for a while. "It depends on the outcome of the
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Because of his betrayal, many of her plans will now fail to materialize. She tried to calm down by covering her head and closing her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes and stared at Jasper's picture on the table. She should be calm. Rashness and irritability couldn't solve anything. Stella looked at the monitor and saw that Lynette had already moved the bed into the library. She even set up a bedstead and a bed canopy for her. Stella got up and walked into the library with her laptop. "Madam, please call me if there's anything else you need," Lynette said. Stella nodded. She put her laptop on the desk, played some relaxing music, and flipped through a psychology book. She felt much calmer after 10 minutes. She then continued to prepare the questions for the psychology test. Before she knew it, it was already midnight. Stella went behind the bookshelf and stared at the secret e
After hanging up Allen's call, Stella headed to the bathroom to wash up. Her phone rang while she was brushing her teeth. It was a call from Sean. She ignored the call. Her phone stopped ringing the moment she was done brushing her teeth. She washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror, "Stella, come on. You can do this, Stella." She picked up her mobile phone with an icy cold gaze and called Sean. ''Were you the one who did it?'' Sean asked. "What?" Stella asked knowingly. ''Last night, the Attire Allure was set on fire. Five people died in that fire,'' Sean was obviously on edge. ''A close friend of mine runs Attire Allure. If I wanted to burn down buildings, I would have burned Christian's. Have you dialed the wrong number?'' Stella said coldly. ''Christian said that he was not the one who did it. There's no need for him to risk things with his current position. The arsonist has been captured by the military already. It's not Christ
"Alright," Stella was ready to hang up the phone. ''Stella,'' Bellamy shouted her name, ''I've seen what they posted about you and Christian online. I'm worried that something might happen to you. Be careful,'' he reminded. Stella smiled, ''Got it. Let's talk later.'' Stella hung up the phone and walked towards the window. From afar, she saw her guards leading a gorgeously-dressed woman in. ''Lynette, tell her that I'm not home when she gets here. Also, be careful. I don't think she comes with good intentions,'' Stella reminded. "Alright." After thinking for a while, Stella went to her room and took a pair of earplugs for Lynette. ''Put them on.'' "What is this?" "Put it into your ears. You will be able to hear my voice with it." "Okay, understood," Lynette immediately put the earplugs into her ears. Stella entered a room on the first floor and peeked through the crack of the door. The woman walked in. Her skin was slig
"She must be out of her mind. The Chief doesn't like her," Lynette Lanes stared at Tinley's back and said. "Lynette, don't casually reveal Bellamy's identity," Stella Grace reminded. Lynette knew that she had made a mistake and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Madam. I won't do it again." "Get Elvis to keep an eye on her with you. Keep me updated on everything she says or does," Stella ordered. "Okay, got it," Lynette obeyed and immediately went out. Stella's lunch was already a little cold. Hence, she heated a bowl of soup. She was quite hungry just now, but after the whole commotion with Tinley, she realized that she had lost her appetite. She believed that nothing was going on between Bellamy and Tinley, but... Bellamy seemed to have lied to her. She suspected that they knew each other. When she thought about the fact that Bellamy might have lied to her, she immediately lost her appetite. The closer she got with Jasper, the more sh
"Madam, we've been following her. I don't know if she has noticed us, but she has shown no signs of anything suspicious. She's currently shopping alone," Lynette Lanes reported. "Didn't she look for Bellamy?" Stella Grace asked suspiciously. "No, she didn't," Lynette said. "If she had noticed you guys, she would have gone to look for Bellamy and put on another show," Stella narrowed her eyes as she pondered. "Could it be that someone had sent her?" Lynette was puzzled as well. "Just keep an eye on her for the moment. Thank you for your hard work," Stella said. "What about your dinner? No one is making a meal for you, right? Madam Shine would only be home after dinner," Lynette said worriedly. Stella smiled, "I can cook a meal myself. Don't worry." "It seems that I came just at the right time," Stella turned her head in surprise when she heard Bellamy's voice. His hair and shoulder were wet. He was stained with water vapor, and his
Stella lowered her gaze, a strange feeling creeping into her heart. She didn't know why, but she felt a chill down her spine. For some reason, she was afraid of knowing the answer. However, she had to know the answer. Only then could she be at ease. The bike twisted and turned, and Stella could not tell which road he was going on. However, he seemed to be very familiar with the paths. If he was not Jasper, could he be Steven? Stella hugged him tightly, her face leaning against his back as she listened to his strong heartbeat. "Stella, don't doubt me anymore. I love you," Bellamy said softly. Stella did not reply. Instead, she closed her eyes. She clearly knew that she shouldn't doubt him at all. However, she was still afraid and her thoughts would still run wild occasionally. Bellamy sighed, and half an hour later, the bike finally stopped. When Stella opened her eyes, she saw a small cottage with lights on. She got off
Stella caught up with Eli at the entrance of the Intercontinental Hotel. She shouted excitedly, "Eli." Eli Wayne paused and turned around to look at Stella. Her eyes were filled with a desolate silence without any emotion. Stella was so excited that she ignored Eli's anomaly. She hugged Eli and cried, "You're back. How did you come back? Were you alright while you were in D Country? I miss you. I miss you so much." Eli stared into the distance, her face devoid of expression. The winter sun shone through the leaves, and it was particularly white. However, there was no warmth for her at all. She said coldly, "If you are done acting, let me go so that I could breathe." Stella's body froze. She looked at Eli with her reddened eyes. There was guilt, apologeticness, expectations, and... deep emotions in her gaze. "I'm sorry about what happened last time," Stella apologized. "Do you think your apology could bring my mother back to life? Will it bring
