Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“In your heart, I was the one who killed Bettany. I’m that evil. You will never let me go. You want to kill me a hundred times over anyway. It doesn’t matter if I kill one more person.” Hale Summer said with a vicious smile.

Jasper Milton’s eyes burst emanated with killing intent, and he rushed towards Hale.

Hale drew out her pistol and pointed it at his head. “Hurry up and find that girl. If you can’t find her in half an hour, she will die for sure.”

“If you dare hurt her, no matter where you go, I will never let you go,” Jasper said with hatred.

“Ah, Jasper, you will regret it.” Hale’s face flashed with a trace of sadness. She pushed open the window and jumped out.

Jasper was so angry and that he smashed the phone in his hands.

He shouldn’t have left Stella Grace alone, and allowed her to be at risk of danger.

“Stella, Stella!” Jasper shouted.

Stella lowered her eyes, leaned against the pillar, and kicked the table beside her.

The porcelain cup on the table fell down and made a crash.

Hearing the sound, Jasper lay on the ground and asked, “Stella, did you hear me?”

Stella kicked the table again.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Jasper knocked on the ground hurriedly.

He found the loose floorboard under the bed, opened it, and jumped in.

He turned on the flashlight on his phone.

When he saw Stella, he quickly untied her and took off the tape. “I’m sorry, Stella. I shouldn’t have left you alone.”

“It doesn’t matter. I understand. Let’s go up first.” Stella said softly. She was unusually calm.

In the past, she had never been afraid of any vicious gangsters, let alone now. She had only been tied up so she was rather calm.

As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, Stella said in a deep voice, “Jasper, I know who the murderer is.”

“Hale? It doesn’t seem like it was her.” Jasper made a judgment.

“Timmy Nine, he was the only person who survived from Tavers Village.

There were a total of 1, 000 gold bars dug out from their village. State Mayor Cher didn’t take all of them, but there were other people involved.

Those villagers did not die because of an illness, they were all murdered.

Timmy Nine was the son of the village chief, and it was he who wanted to revenge.

“I suspect that Timmy is the ‘friend’ of the fruit stall’s owner.” Stella guessed.

“Did Hale tell you of this?” Jasper’s attitude was calm.

“She asked me to tell you that she had been wronged. Now, she is looking for evidence to prove her innocence and asks you not to arrest her.” Stella said.

“Do you believe her? If she was looking for evidence, why would she hide in this place and play tricks on us? I didn’t wrong her. Only Hale, Bettany, and I knew about the original plan. Then, our plan was exposed. Hale went missing, and Bettany was burned alive. If she didn’t reveal our secrets, who could have done it? Could it be me?” Jasper said coldly. He stood up and turned his face away.

Stella could tell that he was trying his best to adjust his emotions.

“Could it be that your reports to your superiors had been intercepted?” Stella felt that Hale was telling the truth, based on a woman’s intuition.

“There were no superiors involved. Only the three of us. I don’t want to talk about this matter anymore. It’s over.” Jasper said resolutely and walked out of the room.

Jimmy Fellow then walked over and reported, “Chief, as expected, there is a grave at the lake. Just like what we said before, all of them were buried together. But strangely, someone has been paying respects to them. The fruits there are fresh. Someone came to pay their respects just this morning.”

“Timmy must have killed State Mayor Cher and went to pay his respects,” Stella said softly.

“Let’s go,” Jasper said coldly.

Looking at his turned figure, Stella’s heart sank. She was rather upset.

“Are you going to arrest Timmy?” Stella asked.

“You have to pay with your life if you kill someone. If you do something wrong, you have to face the punishment.” Jasper looked ahead sharply.

“What about the truth? Would you announce it to the public or to hide it?” Stella asked.

Jasper did not speak.

Based on his experience, he knew that the superiors would want to hide the truth.

On the one hand, he was worried that it would cause a negative impact on society.

Second, it would bring pressure from various government departments.

The third reason was that the massacre was a despicable crime, which would also cause a global sensation.

Finally, he was afraid that it would stir trouble from more enemies.

Seeing that Jasper did not answer her, Stella feeling frustrated.

“I think Hale is innocent. If she was the one who snitched, she doesn’t have to live such a miserable life. She could live a free and unfettered life abroad…

In addition, Timmy was only the son of a mountain villager. He was illiterate, ignorant, and didn’t know much about explosives and guns. I have reason to believe that Hale taught him about all of this…

I don’t think she’s lying, since Timmy didn’t hurt the innocent, Hale too did not hurt the innocent. She has a sense of justice.” Stella deduced.

“Enough. You are not a soldier nor are you a policeman. You don’t represent the government. As I said, don’t mention this matter again.” Jasper raised his voice.

Stella could not ignore the irritation in his eyes.

She fell silent and looked down.

If she said anything more, he wouldn’t want to listen.

No matter if what she said was reasonable, he would not believe it.

There was no need to say more to embarrass herself.

Stella did not speak again. She climbed up the mountain alone.

After Jasper lost his temper at her, he regretted it.

He was in a bad mood, but he shouldn’t vent it on her.

Stella was not his soldier, nor was she the object of his anger.

“I’m sorry.” Jasper apologized.

Stella twitched her mouth but she ignored him. She quickly climbed up the peak to not hold them back.

When they returned to the car, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon. They did not have any lunch.

Stella turned her head and looked out of the window.

Jasper looked at her and frowned. “I didn’t mean to get angry with you. I didn’t expect to meet Hale here. I can’t control my temper, especially with her. I’ll be careful in future.”

Stella did not speak. She closed her eyes and took a nap.

What was love?

Was it to care about each other, appreciate each other, listen to each other? To not be separated, and be together every day?

Or, was it just a wife and a husband who needed to bear children?

Before this, Jasper would listen patiently no matter what was saying.

But now, no matter what she said, he was annoyed and frustrated!

If she didn’t want to continue with this, was it still love?

Or perhaps, it was just that she didn’t love him enough.

Maybe that’s right. She could not love him with all her heart and soul in just a month.

Her heart was extremely sensitive and fragile, but also firm and invincible.

She had always been a passive person. She was not naive. In this corrupt society, there were schemers, plotters, and selfish motives.

If the other party was good to her, she would be twice as good to them. She did not care about right or wrong, and did not care about how much they contributed. She would try her best to repay their kindness.

If the other party treated her badly, she would gradually take back her open heart.

Jasper touched her forehead and put it on his shoulder.

Stella did not want to be so close to him after their argument.

At the very least, she needed some time to quiet down alone.

She opened her eyes, lay on the chair in front of her instead, resting her forehead on her arm.

Jasper’s heart tightened at this, and he felt a dull throb of pain within him.
