Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella finally understood, “Thank you for your explanation, Director Elmore. I’ve learned a lot from you.”

“I’m flattered,” Elmore felt sorry as he could not answer most of Stella’s questions.

“Could I take a walk around?” Stella asked.

“Yes. Feel free to move around anywhere you like except for the Chairman’s office. Our Chairman doesn’t like to be disturbed and he doesn’t want his identity exposed. If you accidentally learn who he is, you may never be able to get out of here again,” Elmore said half-jokingly.

“Okay,” Stella said and left the director’s office.

Stella took a tour around and observed the laboratory researchers. However, she actually didn’t understand what they were doing. And, the more she watched, the more melancholic she felt.

She decided to leave the research center. When she arrived at the gate, she noticed that Black was standing there.

He walked over to her and asked, “I’ve heard that you don’t really treat patients, is that true, Doctor Grace?”

Stella was dumbfounded for a moment before saying, “I treat them too, but not as often as before. I have some matters on my plate now.”

“Could I jump the queue then? I’ve signed up for it, but all I’ve heard from your side is to wait,” Black asked gruffly.

Stella was in a dilemma, “In actual fact, it’s the same if you were to visit other psychologists. Those legendary stories were just something the media made up.”

“Does that mean that you are not willing to treat me?” Black’s eyes sank, and they turned cold.

“I’m sorry, but I really don’t treat patients that often anymore. There are too many people on the waiting list. To tell you the truth, after I got on TV, the phone in my clinic rings nonstop,” Stella said with a light smile.

Black’s face went blank. Stella didn’t really like getting along with him, so she gave him a firm nod and walked out.

Black stood where he was, and he stared ahead blankly for a long time. His eyes filled with dark whirls that collided with each other repeatedly.

He dialed a number and said, “Vann, I want to join Stella’s new organization. Make the arrangements.”

…

It was still early when Stella left the research center. She wanted to reward herself that night, so she took out all the chicken wings in her fridge and marinated them.

She cut the vegetables into small pieces, strung them on a wooden stick to make kebabs, and proceeded to make the sauce. It was already 5 p. m. when she was done.

All of a sudden, her cell phone rang. She noticed that it was an unfamiliar caller ID, and she declined the call immediately.

Her cell phone rang again, and it was from the same unfamiliar caller ID. She then answered the phone.

“Stella, what do you think you’re doing? It won’t bring you any good to kick me out!” Alissa said angrily.

Stella recognized that it was Alissa’s voice, and she said nicely, “I didn’t kick you out, nor do I have the ability to do so.”

“Vann said he knows that I asked someone to kidnap you. He wants to keep me, but he left the decision-making to you. You do want to kick me out right?!” Alissa roared.

“All I said was to let you stay. I won’t file the case nor will I drop it. I want it to only be a warning against you. You may ask Vann about it again. It’s up to you to believe in me.”

“You b*tch, how dare you threaten me with this matter? You better be careful or I’ll thrash you,” Alissa hung up angrily.

Stella sighed helplessly.

In this world, there were just too many traps and troubles that were uncalled for. And, one of them, was getting to know someone with an awful personality who would pick on you for absolutely no reason at all.

Stella had already known that Alissa had a difficult character. She was like a pest, troubles ensuing once she got to know her.

However, if Alissa were to continue to bother her, Stella wouldn’t be able to do anything about it and could only take it as it comes.

She placed the chicken wing in the oven, turned on the TV, and ate her kebab first.

The television was broadcasting about the serial murder case, and Vann was being chased by reporters.

He became impatient from the pestering and said, “We’ve already grasped the whereabouts of the murderer, and we’ll catch him within a week.”

Stella furrowed her brows and called Edwin, “Have you found the clown?”

“We found a few leads, and I’ve already sent some people to follow up on them. There’s someone very similar to your description, and he lives in an RV,” Edwin said.

“If he saw the news, he would probably leave tonight and go to some other place. He’s a very meticulous person. If he knows that Vann knows about his whereabouts and will arrest him within the week, he would definitely leave. Also, since he has already committed 4 crimes in this city, he could leave without reservations. Send me his whereabouts now, I’ll call Vann.” Stella said anxiously.

“Yes.”

Stella immediately called Vann. “The murderer is going to escape tonight. Edwin has already locked down on his whereabouts. We must arrest him today.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of it right away,” Vann said.

Vann was under a lot of pressure. If he couldn’t solve the case, the media would definitely pester him even more, so he put a great deal of importance into this case.

After Stella hung up her phone, her appetite was gone.

She called her neighbor, “Madam Haydey, are you home? I made a lot of kebabs.”

“Yes, bring them over then,” Haydey said.

Stella took the pan over to her neighbor’s doorstep, and Haydey was already waiting for her. Haydey took the pan from Stella and said, “Stella, you’re too kind.”

Stella gave her a bright smile. Haydey was a warm and generous person. Ever since she moved here, Haydey had been taking good care of her. Also, she had a straightforward personality; if she liked or disliked something, she would just voice out her opinions. She recalled that Haydey liked it very much when she gave her kebabs the last time.

“Have you eaten yet?” Haydey asked.

“I’m cooking some right now. Feel free to eat and enjoy the kebabs first,” Stella said with a smile.

“Then I’ll just take it with open hands. I’ll return the pan to you tomorrow after cleaning it. By the way, I made some blueberry jam, I’ll give you two bottles. Be sure to eat it, it’s good for your eyes,” Haydey said as she took two bottles of blueberry jam out from her refrigerator.

Stella didn’t hold back either. She took the blueberry jam and said, “Thank you, Madam Haydey.”

She then returned home. She thought it was strange that she was in a bad mood just now and didn’t have any appetite to eat. However, after a short chat with Madam Haydey, who was full of warmth, her appetite was back.

Human beings were truly strange creatures. A person’s mental state could be affected by a lot of things.

Stella then took out some instant pasta and boiled them. There were still some tomatoes in the refrigerator, she made some bolognese sauce and poured them on top of the pasta. Then, she took out the roasted chicken wings and enjoyed her meal.

She cleaned up the house, did some yoga, washed her clothes, and took a shower. When she came out of her bathroom, she heard a loud bang. Someone had thrown a brick onto her window.

Stella guessed that it was Alissa’s doing, so she didn’t give much thought to it. Their salary this time was pretty high, and seeing how Alissa was short of money and lost her pay, she must’ve wanted to take revenge on Stella. This was not at all unexpected.

She didn’t pay much attention to it as her glass windows were all custom-made. Even bullets couldn’t break through it, let alone a brick.

Her home looked cozy and the security work of her house was strong too. After all, she was a single lady.

As she entered her room, she heard another bang again.

She sighed helplessly, opened the curtains, and looked down.

Alissa was fighting with a man. Stella didn’t know who that man was, but it was obvious that he was helping Stella. He had excellent skills and was on top of Alissa.

Within five minutes, he subdued Alissa and dragged her away…
