"When will your men come over?" Stella asked. "I might bring three people over tomorrow. There won't be enough time if I only bring two over. They have to clean up the house and do laundry too. Besides, I remember that you wanted to buy medical equipment before, right? I'll find an expert in construction and ask the soldiers to help with renovating the new building. It will get busy for a while," Bellamy seemed to have thought of everything. Stella pondered. She wanted a building solely for her medical equipment because she wanted to study the antidote. Now that she had decided to leave with Jasper, would she still need the building? Oh, right, she could also pass the responsibilities of the antidote to Bellamy. "Thank you," Stella said softly. Bellamy smiled and said, "As long as you are here, all of this is worth it." "I have one more thing to ask you. Could you bring Jasper's ashes back?" Stella asked. "He is resting in peace rig
Stella took a piece of grilled fish for Eli and placed it on her plate. "Mmm..." Eli moaned as she took a bite. "I think it tastes better than the one we had at the seafood restaurant." "The fishes there are probably farm-raised while these are wild-caught. They've probably been swimming in the ocean for a few years," Stella explained. "I want to come here and have lots of fish for the rest of my life, and nobody can stop me," Eli proceeded to grab another piece of grilled fish onto her plate. "Sure," Stella replied gently. Suzi looked at Eli and her eyes dimmed slightly. "I thought of Lynette." "I'm sure that she'll be fine, she just needs time to recover. You could bring her back here if her condition permits. She's probably lonely in the hospital too," Stella said. "I'll drop by the hospital tomorrow to visit her, then I'll ask the doctor if she could be discharged. Even if anything happens, it'd be better if she's at home," Suzi said.
Stella's mind was in a complete mess. She shut her eyes, worrying that they could no longer hide the fact that Eli was Sean's mistress. If that happens, then Eli would become the target of all the netizen's hate comments, and she'd definitely be the first to suffer. All of a sudden, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Sean, she quickly picked up and asked anxiously, "How could this happen?" "Stella, tell me who's more important to you, Bellamy or Eli?" Sean said seriously. "What do you mean?" Stella stood up from her seat, a bad feeling brewing inside her heart. "Bellamy is behind all of this. The video was taken by Rebecca's servant, Loraine. She's working for Bellamy." Stella was silent as she tried to recall everything. She still didn't quite believe it. Bellamy had clearly said that he would let her decide if he would run for the next Presidential elections. "Do you have any evidence?" "Loraine was a spy who had been exiled, but
"Mrs. Milton, please don't get too worked up, you're still pregnant," Elvis said with worry. He picked up Stella's phone and put it on the table. "You're going to follow Bellamy too, aren't you?" Stella asked Elvis directly. Elvis remained silent. Without saying a word, he lowered his head. Stella finally understood everything. The only reason they had taken care of her and protected her was that they thought Jasper was still alive. They were doing this because they thought that it would give them a brighter future. Once they were sure that Jasper was dead, they turned to another person to climb up the social ladder. Everyone was willing to switch sides to make it to the top. After all, it was human nature to be greedy. She understood this very well. She couldn't blame them. She could only respect their decision because there was nothing she could do about it. However, her heart was filled with sadness. Was this the Dark Shadow that she had bee
"Well, thank God Sean doesn't have someone he likes who is already dead. Otherwise, I'd never date him," Eli exclaimed. Stella remained quiet. Elvis looked at Eli worriedly, his gaze filled with concern as he shifted his eyes to Stella. Stella's eyes were red as she gripped Eli's hand tightly. "What's wrong?" Eli sensed that Stella was acting strangely. "Will you tell me what Master Olgic says to you after he tells you your fortune?" Stella asked. "Sure." ...... There was a large group of people lining up at the foot of the mountain, waiting to see Master Olgic. Stella lined up with Eli and waited for their turn obediently. A young clergyman ran over and bowed to Stella. "Miss, Master Olgic invites you to the main hall." Eli looked at Stella in surprise. "We're so lucky." "Mm," Stella replied. They followed the clergyman and soon arrived outside the church. "Miss Grace, please." "Eli, wait for me at the
"Yes," Sean confirmed calmly. Eli wiped the tears off her face. In her heart, Sean had always been a dominant and powerful person. Whenever he was with her, he would always smile at her. Although he was sometimes spiteful, he would still dote on her and pamper her. The current him, however, gave her a feeling of sorrow and depression. "Don't be afraid. It's okay, I'm willing to be locked up with you," Eli said, but all she felt was despair. She choked her sobs back. Sean laughed. He sounded happy. "How could you still laugh? This is all my fault. If I hadn't made you take care of Natasha, then you wouldn't have asked Yvonne to push her into the snake pit. If Natasha was fine, then none of this would have happened. I was the one who dragged you into this mess," Eli said guiltily. "My girl was being bullied, if I didn't stand up for her, then I don't deserve to be her man. Since that's the case, you don't have to feel sad. At most, I'll just lose
"I want you to visit me in person," Eli whined. After a moment of silence, Stella nodded. Eli walked away reluctantly, constantly turning back to look at Stella. Stella stood where she was and watched as Eli walked into the waiting hall. It was not until the plane took off that she finally turned around and got into Elvis' car. "Elvis, could you help me with two last things?" Stella asked politely. "Mrs. Milton, please feel free to give me your orders, I'll do my best to help you. Also, I'm being sincere," Elvis said, choking with sobs. "It doesn't matter whether you're being sincere. I need you to buy postcards with sceneries from all around the world tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you couldn't buy from each place in the world, just buy as many as you can....." Stella ordered. "Postcards with sceneries from around the world? Okay, I'll get that done." "Also, I will grade all the papers within the next two days, and I'll look for those w
"Go ahead." "I'll send you some postcards. These postcards will have sceneries from around the world. I need your help to send one to Eli once in a while on my behalf." Allen remained silent for three seconds after listening to her request. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine. I don't have many friends, so I need you to help me again," Stella said with a smile. "Okay, I understand. Don't worry." Stella knew that she could trust Allen with anything. She said, "It's too bad that I've never gotten the chance to treat you to a meal." "Don't worry, we still have a lot of time." Allen was always like that, refusing to burden anyone else with his issues. "Yes, we still have a lot of time," Stella repeated after him. ...... Stella shut herself in the library for the next few days. After grading all the papers, she asked Elvis to send them to Anthony. She was also done writing all her messages on the postcards. Not only did she w
