Chapter 105 Love, Without Hesitation
A bunch of excuses came to her mind in an instant.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
For example, she could confess to her fake marriage to Frederick Addington.
No matter they believed it or not, this could not change her identity as a married woman.
She did not care if her name were to be ruined. She had nothing to lose anyway. She was afraid that it would jeopardize Jasper Milton’s career.
“We were going to investigate State Mayor Cher’s murder covertly. We pretended to be a couple. Jasper found that someone was following us at that time, so he created a false identity for us.” Stella said calmly, looking straight at her questioner.
“Investigating State Mayor Cher’s murder… but why did they ask you to go? Didn’t you say that you had nothing to do with him?”
“I’ve always liked to watch Sherlock Holmes since I was a child. My idol is Detective Conan. I’m a doctor and almost chose a career to be a forensic pathologist. We’ve also had dealings with each other before.
He feels that I have capabilities in investigating, furthermore the investigation this time is a covert mission. He did not want to bring too many people around him, so it is safer to take me, an outsider, with him,” Stella explained.
Suzi Shine looked at Stella in the camera, with her eyes getting increasingly brooding. “In fact, I’m rather impressed by her. She has a good psychological traits, a calm mind when dealing with things, and she carries herself with dignity. The only thing is that she really likes your son. Perhaps, let’s not break them up?”
“This is the excessive clemency of a woman. You went to her during the day. Didn’t she promise you not to be in contact with Jasper?
But in the end, Jasper slept at her place!
“This woman is so cunning, she can tell lies without a flinch. She’s definitely not a good person!” Steven Milton said with disgust.
“Even if she is lying, she is protecting Jasper. I don’t think she is wrong to have done that.
Besides, she grew up in an orphanage, a helpless little girl. She had experienced the fickleness of human life and learned how to protect herself.
This is not the independence a pampered sheltered child would have! Do you think Katty has it?
Katty still relies on her father to solve all her problems.” Suzi retorted.
“You also understand that Zoah curries to his daughter’s fancy, don’t you?
Frederick is the President’s man, and your son has offended him!
The President had always been wary of the Milton family, but fortunately, Zoah has been making peace between us.
If Zoah sides with the president instead, let’s witness how our family members will die, each and every one of us!” Steven said angrily.
Suzi Shine crossed her arms tightly, and turned her head. “I think the President doesn’t dare touch us. After all, Jasper is now the head of the Special Forces.
You went to change Stella’s marriage certificate and divorce certificate in secret.
Once she confronts Frederick, and she will know that she has truly divorced.”
“So I have to force her to confess right now.”
“Even if she does confess her crimes, your son will not dislike her. Don’t you think so?” Suzi glared at Steven.
“Then hand her over to Zoah, and allow Zoah to force Jasper to marry Katty, and then we can release Stella.” Steven was getting infuriated.
“She’s innocent. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far by doing this? You’ve switched the certificate, and hired someone to pretend to be a Discipline Inspector and bring her here. Now you want to kidnap her. Don’t make any more mistakes.” Suzi roared.
“Did I make a mistake? I’m saving the whole family.” Steven pointed at Suzi and barked angrily.
“Even if you are saving our family, it shouldn’t be built on someone else’s sacrifice.” Suzi pushed his finger away.
“I’m not sacrificing her, instead she is hurting us! I won’t kill her. I just want her to leave Jasper and make sure he marries Katty. Everything must go according to the plans we have arranged. I’m going to call Zoah now and ask him to cooperate.” Steven took out his mobile phone.
“Enough.” Suzi snatched Steven’s mobile phone. “You are now exposing your son’s weakness and sharing it to others. I think you are old and confused. Let me deal with this matter.”
“You forced me!” Steven shouted and stomped out of the surveillance room.
“That’s enough. Stop recording. Switch it off.” Suzi said irritably.
She took a deep breath, walked out of the surveillance room, and entered the dark room.
Stella was slightly shocked when she saw Suzi appear, and then she seemed to have understood everything. Her eyes seemed to have sunk deep into the bottom of the sea, it was as dark as a bottomless abyss.
“You guys can leave now.” Suzi ordered.
“Yes.” The two men left.
Stella pursed her lips and looked at Suzi reproachfully.
Suzi sat on a chair and remained silent for a while. “I want to know, didn’t you promise me that you would leave Jasper? Why are you with him again tonight?”
Stella frowned slightly, and her eyes were misting over. “So, those people are not from the Discipline Inspection Commission, but your men?”
“It’s you who didn’t keep your word first.”
“I need time. I’ve turned down Jasper’s proposal. You’re hurting not only me, but also your son.” Stella was a little nervous.
“We are saving everyone.”
“Saving everyone? What about Timmy! He’s dead!
Saving everyone? But yet you keep following me and even faked my divorce?”
I’m telling you, I have slept with your son. Just because of the fact that I actually am not divorced, now it’s your son who is at the losing end!
Who am I? I’m just an ordinary person and I already have nothing left. An extramarital affair exposed, it doesn’t harm me. I’ll move elsewhere to start a new life.
But your son, will really be ruined by your own hands!” Stella stood up furiously, her reaction shook the table roughly and the table lamp shattered.
Suzi clenched her fists and explained, “We didn’t follow you all the way.”
You and Frederick are really divorced, we exchanged your marriage certificate and divorce certificate that was left at your home.
We didn’t kill Timmy, and we even had to clean up the evidence you left accidentally all the way.
It was possible that Timmy was killed by Zoah’s men. Now, we are also looking for the murderer so that we can have something on Zoah.
Stella, if you really love Jasper, please help us.” Suzi was pleading.
“Help you with what? Admit that Jasper and I had sex when I’m still married? I have never seen such parents who jeopardize their own children.” Stella glared at Suzi with her bloodshot red eyes.
“In the next few days, I will take you to a place. When you come back, Jasper and Katty will already be married. I need your cooperation. Do you have any personal item with you?” Suzi asked with her eyes twinkling.
“Are you trying to kidnap me?” Stella immediately understood the meaning behind Suzi’s words.
“Sorry, we all want Jasper to work his way up quickly.”
Stella turned her face away and her tears quietly streamed down. She said, “I don’t have any personal item with me.”
“If she doesn’t have a personal item, she can cut off one of her fingers. If one of her fingers doesn’t work, she can cut off one hand. If one hand still doesn’t work, we can add another leg.” Steven Milton pushed the door open and barged in, speaking raspily. He was not joking with her.
“What have I ever done to offend you?” Stella stared at Steven incredulously.
“I’ll take care of it. Take her away,” Steven said impatiently.
Suzi had an ominous feeling about this. She tugged Steven’s arm and said, “Steven, I’ll take care of this matter. Don’t hurt her.”
“She shouldn’t have messed with Jasper. Indecisiveness leads to chaos. You stay out of it.” Steven shook Suzi’s hand off and walked out decisively.
