Chapter 717 The Winner Takes All, The Loser Has To Die
“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 write about her feelings, but she also included some advice and jokes. Some of her messages were her own predictions of what would happen in the future and situations that most people would encounter. Stella tried to make her messages as sincere and honest as possible.
When she was done, she sent all of them to Allen.
Lastly, she wrote a letter to Bellamy.
It read: “To Bellamy,
By the time you read this letter, I’d probably have already left to look for Jasper.
I still have one more thing to give you. It’s called Student Giggles, and the person in charge of it is called Brayden Drake, I will call him to let him know about this.
I have already signed all the documents. As long as you sign it, Student’s Giggles will become yours.
I believe that you will use Student’s Giggles for the greater good.
I have 1. 2 billion dollars in my Switchland Bank account, this is the money I got from selling the treasures. Initially, I had this money put aside to take down Christian. The account number and PIN number are all in a hidden file on my computer. The PIN number is 333. Also, the money I have in my other account was given by my grandfather, please distribute it accordingly.
Actually, I should thank you.
Thank you for showing up in my life. You gave me a glimmer of hope, and because of you, Jasper managed to get his revenge.
I don’t hate you, I just hope you could keep your promise and let Sean reunite with Eli.
By the way, I’m going to the deserted island. That’s my happy place.
If it’s possible, please bury Jasper beside me.
If that’s not possible, then bury me beside Jasper.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Finally, I hope that you become a hardworking leader who is dedicated to his citizens. Please take care of Mom too.”
Stella ended the letter there.
She dropped the letter into an envelope and sealed it. At this moment, Bellamy pushed the door and stepped in.
Stella turned to look at him. “Why are you back so early today?”
“I missed you,” Bellamy said.
The corners of Stella’s mouth lifted slightly. She peered into his sunken, mischievous eyes. She said, “I think that there’s something else.”
“There have been many comments online asking for Sean to step down, but Sean is still resisting them. You know, the more he resists, the more complicated it’ll get.”
“Do you want me to call him and ask him to surrender?” Stella asked in return.
“That would be the best solution, and he’ll also need to give M Country a solution. If he refuses, our final option is to use Student’s Giggles. The sooner I become the President, the quicker this thing would die down,” Bellamy tried to persuade Stella.
Stella nodded. “Let me give him a call.”
Stella picked up her phone and dialed Sean’s number.
Sean picked up the call. “Eli said that she’s safe with her child now, thank you.”
Stella could feel her heart aching. “Sean, I’ve made a pact with Bellamy. Ge will detain you for a year after he becomes the President. After that, he will let you free. Since Eli is safe, you could look for her a year later. Stop fighting back.”
“Bellamy has launched an attack at my people, did you know that? He is very sly. Do you really think that he’ll let me go after a year? He won’t. He’s scared that even if I no longer stand a chance at the title, I would help someone else gain it,” Sean said sensibly.
Stella didn’t dare to make any promises because she couldn’t read other people’s minds.
A year was too long, and many things could happen in between, just like how she’d never thought Bellamy would be the President.
“But there’s no point in you fighting back either. If you stop resisting, abdicate your position, accept the punishment you’re sentenced to, only then will M Country be appeased. This would be the best for our country.”
“I have to fight for those who stand behind me.”
“Perhaps this is the reason why Bellamy is attacking them. This will only make things worse. The more you fight, the more you’ll lose, right? You’ve always been a sensible person, you should know this.”
“Sometimes, we can’t think about the losses. It’s more about showing your perseverance.”
“Bellamy will never let you go if you persist in doing so,” Stella was starting to get anxious.
“The winner takes all. I knew that I was going to lose a long time ago anyway,” Sean seemed to have already expected the worst outcome.
“What about Eli? Are you planning to let her become a single mother, and let your child be raised by a single parent? She’s waiting for you.”
“She’s very carefree. She won’t even remember me after two years,” Sean’s tone was filled with despair.
“What if I said that Bellamy will let your men go? Will you give up then? At least, you’ve already demonstrated your loyalty. If he uses the Student’s Giggles, it’s the end of you.”
“So, you’ve decided to help Bellamy, haven’t you?” Sean’s voice turned cold.
She wasn’t helping Bellamy. She just wanted to leave all this behind.
Bellamy was Jasper’s older brother. No matter how evil he was, she couldn’t harm him. Stella was afraid that Jasper would haunt her for it.
And Student’s Giggles would belong to Bellamy when she dies.
“I’m sorry, but I want this to end too. If this goes on, it’s going to cause a war in our country.”
Sean was silent.
He had been resisting all this time even though he knew it was pointless. If Stella didn’t help Bellamy, perhaps he could still persevere for another two months. Perhaps, he might even find a turning point in the middle of it. However, if Stella chose to help Bellamy, all of it would end even if he didn’t want it to.
“I understand, I’ll hold a press conference tomorrow. I’ll resign from my position as the President and relinquish all my power. I will also issue an apology, will that suffice?” Sean said helplessly.
“I’m sorry.”
Sean didn’t say anything more and just hung up.
His actions showed that he didn’t accept her apology.
Stella was also very helpless. She put away her phone and looked at Bellamy. “Remember your promise. You have to let him go one year after your appointment.”
“Stella, I know that it’s very hard for you to be stuck in the middle, but you have to make a choice. Otherwise, you’ll be the only one who gets hurt from all of this,” Bellamy reminded.
“It doesn’t matter. I want to do my best to protect the people I love. I want to protect Sean just like how I had protected you in the beginning. I’m feeling a little annoyed. I’m going out to mail something,” Stella picked up the envelope.
“I’ll ask Elvis to accompany you. Sean’s problem still isn’t over, you might be in danger,” Bellamy said cautiously.
Stella nodded and walked outside.
Elvis was already waiting at the door. She got in the car and said, “To the post office.”
