"Without any concrete evidence, there will only be suspicion. You feel guilty because you feel uneasy. You should keep your head low and prevent Sean from noticing anything out of the ordinary. Otherwise, not only would he be suspicious, but he would also start to suspect you. You should be prepared to retreat unscathed. After all, you have done so much for Sean," Reuben said solemnly. "I understand. I believe that you would have earned Sean's trust this time since you saved Eli from the bullet. With his trust, everything will be easier in the future. Alright, that's all for now, I'll hang up," Hodge said. Reuben lay on the bed and turned off his phone. Closing his eyes, he thought of Eli's smile, as well as her care for him. It was all worth it. Eli was taken back to A Country. Stella came running out of the waiting room when she arrived at the airport's military base. Eli was elated to see Stella. She immediately rushed over and hugged her. Stella had p
"What happened?" Stella asked with vigilance. "Weldon was murdered last night. Someone saw Natasha running out of his room in a state of panic," Jasper explained. "What did Natasha say?" "She's missing now, and no one knows her whereabouts," Jasper replied. "Bellamy called, hoping that you would help the Mccarthy family with the investigation. What do you think?" "Tell them that I studied psychology. The first thing they need to do now is to find Natasha. I will go over when they find her," Stella said. She looked back and saw Eli standing blankly behind her, deep in thought. "Eli, let's eat first," Stella said as she grabbed hold of Eli's hand. "Stella, what if Natasha was really the one who killed Weldon? What will happen then?" Eli was confused, "The Griswell family is dependent on the Mccarthy family. If Natasha kills Weldon, the two families will definitely become enemies. As the Griswell family has offended the Harington family before, I
Maple replied, "For the sake of my child." Eli then asked again, "What happens if your child is unfilial in the future?" Maple laughed wryly and said, "Well, there isn't anything I could do about that, yes?" Perplexed, Eli probed, "Why would you still want to live then?" Maple replied thoughtfully, "I think that I'm enjoying my life pretty well now." However, Eli did not share the same sentiment. In her opinion, Maple was still working hard to buy a house for her child at such an age, even without very little left for herself. Eli once heard that Maple's health was not doing well and her back hurt so much that it was difficult for her to stand up. Her husband was not by her side too. Eli then asked again, "Which part of your life are you enjoying now then?" Maple gave it a quick thought and said, "I have enough food every day, the dishes are quite good. When I'm free, I get to watch television. Aren't I enjoying my life?" Eli laughed and
Eli calmed herself down and made up her mind. She then asked Sean, "Could we see each other once a year?" "Of course, once I settle everything, we can be together every day. Everything seems to be going well at the moment," Sean said in relief. "You must stay alive then," Eli said. One month would be enough. Maple's husband could not even be with her for longer than a month. She took a step forward and hugged Sean. She rested her head on his shoulder and said, "Today, someone tried to set me up with a guy, and I told her that I'm married. We are husband and wife, aren't we?" "We are officially husband and wife. I have signed all my properties in your name and I even had a lawyer notarise them. All the documents are legally binding," Sean assured her. She knew that Sean was wealthy. She, too, had money in her own name. However, she did not feel that having all that money meant anything. "I'll wait for you." Sean seemed much more at ease. "Co
"I still need to go to work today," she told Sean softly. "The students have already left and you don't have anything else to do. It doesn't matter if you don't go to work today." "Then I would have to apply for leave." Sean smiled and said, "Give me a minute. I'll get you the phone." Sean got out of the quilt immediately, put on a jacket, and went downstairs. He came back shortly with her mobile phone. Eli was extremely touched that Sean was so kind to her. She realized that her students had called her and left her countless messages. She immediately called the class monitor, saying, "I'm so sorry, something urgent came up yesterday so I didn't have the time to return your calls." "It's not a problem, Miss Wayne, but you'll have to treat us next time!" "No problem, I will treat the whole class to a meal once school reopens, alright?" Eli said. "Thank you, Miss Wayne. Have you read the text message?" the class monitor asked curi
Eli really wanted to know, so she decided to give Stella a call. "Eli?" Stella sounded tired. "How are things going there? Did Natasha really kill Weldon?" "Yes, she admitted to it. Her brother tried to bring her away, but the Griswell family could not take the pressure that the Mccarthy family was asserting, so she came out to beg for forgiveness. She is in prison now. There are still a lot of things that needed to be negotiated and dealt with, and Bellamy has entrusted everything here to me. I may need to stay here for a few more days." "Remember to take care of yourself. You sound exhausted. Go and get some rest," Eli said and hung up the phone. Then she looked at Sean and said, "Stella told me that Natasha had already admitted to killing Weldon, but they still need to negotiate. What are they going to negotiate?" Sean looked deeply at Eli. With hesitation in his eyes, he sighed and said, "Weldon had r*ped Natasha, so she killed him with a knife. Natas
In a daze, Stella was dragged to a small room near the hillside in the backyard. "Why did you drug her?" asked Waverly, aghast. "She was sneaking around in the backyard. I suspect she knows about our relationship. I can't let her live," Lenold replied sinisterly. Waverly's face turned cold, and there was a sneer in her eyes. She looked at Lenold and asked him indifferently, "Is there anything between us that would warrant you to do such a thing? That you had to kill someone? Or is it just your sinister mind, fearful that your evil motives will be found out, therefore wanting to kill her?" "Waverly, what's the matter with you? If she tells your husband about our relationship, neither of us will live." "What kind of relationship?" Waverly furrowed her brows and asked, "My ex-boyfriend? My uncle-in-law? I don't think that we have an indecent relationship. So what if Bellamy knows about our relationship?" "I love you, and you know that you are the o
Stella returned to Country M after giving her testimony. She started feeling unwell on the plane. Her water broke upon arriving at the airport, and she was sent directly to the hospital. In the car, Jasper was extremely nervous. He was not by her side when Stella gave birth to their first child. Similarly, he was not there when Stella gave birth to their second child. Therefore, he swore to stay by her side no matter what would happen this time. Stella did not want him to worry, so she endured the pain silently. Smiling, she said, "Jasper, sing a song for me. It's rare to hear you singing, but I don't want to listen to military songs because I don't want our daughter to be boyish in the future." "The brightest star in the night sky, could you hear it clearly..." Jasper started singing. Stella burst into laughter because Jasper had gone completely off-key. "Oh gosh, stop, my stomach hurts!" Jasper stopped singing and held her hand tightly. His heart
