Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“I really don’t know how the envelope was opened. Maybe the thief thought that there was money in it. Madam, you have to believe me. I know that you’ve never liked me, but it’s too cruel to chase me away like this,” Auntie Wood cried.

Stella Grace knew her too well. She was just crying and complaining to act like she was innocent.

“Did you really not open the envelope?” Stella asked.

“I really didn’t. Madam, you have told me not to open the envelope, so why would I open it then? I dare not disobey your orders,” Auntie Wood replied aggrievedly.

“I see,” Stella hung up the phone.

She then called Elvis Zachary.

Elvis had just gotten off the helicopter.

“Madam, I’ve just gotten off the helicopter. I’m about to head home now. What’s wrong?” Elvis asked.

“Do you remember when I asked Auntie Wood to get the documents for me? The documents were opened. She claimed that she didn’t know how it was opened when she was on the bus. I think that she is lying,” Stella told him straightforwardly.

“I see. Send the route to me, and I’ll ask someone to check it out. I’ll email you once I find the video of her opening the file.”

Stella grinned.

Elvis was really considerate, and he knew exactly what to do.

“If it’s convenient for you, could you have someone check on what Auntie Wood has done before?”

“I have already ordered someone to do this before dinner, but the God’s Eyes only has three months of data, so I could only get the records from the last three months,” Elvis explained.

“Thank you for your hard work. I will come back at around 3 p. m. tomorrow. You should pay close attention to her. You don’t have to stop her from doing anything but you mustn’t let her take anything away.”

“Understood.”

Stella nodded.

She had nothing to worry about if Elvis was in charge.

She hung up the phone and checked on the cameras at home. She clicked the video of the library, but Jasper was no longer there.

She went back to check the previous video.

Jasper seemed to be in the library from the beginning. Then, he turned to look at something. He looked at the door then went straight to the back of the bookshelf. After that, Auntie Wood came in.

Stella watched the video again for another ten times.

What she could confirm was that Jasper did not enter the library from the outside. As there was a blind spot on the monitor, she could only see him walking out from behind the bookshelf.

She wanted to go back to look for him.

However, she had already said that she would stay here for a while. If she were to go back now, it would raise a lot of suspicions.

Hence, she could only endure it and continue to stare at the video of the library. She watched it repeatedly until her eyelids turned heavy, and she fell asleep in a daze.

She didn’t know how long had passed, but she heard the sound of footsteps. When she opened her eyes, the sun was already high up in the sky with sunlight shining in from the window. It was very dazzling.

The first thing she did was to check her phone.

Unfortunately, her phone was out of battery.

She quickly charged her phone, then, she got up and washed up. She went out after that.

Four guards were standing at the door. They greeted her together, “Good morning, Madam.”

Stella was stunned. She didn’t even know when the soldiers had come to guard at the door, “Good morning. What time is it now?”

“It’s 7. 45 a. m.” The soldier replied.

“Oh, thank you,” Stella went to the kitchen. Lynette Lanes had already prepared breakfast and she even brought food to Stella.

“What time did you wake up?” Stella asked casually.

“I woke up to prepare breakfast at 5 a. m. Breakfast is ready.”

“What time did you sleep then?” Stella was surprised. She remembered that it was almost midnight before she went to bed yesterday, and she did not recall Lynette coming into the room to sleep after that.

“I slept as soon as you left,” Lynette replied with a smile.

“Where did you sleep then?” Stella was shocked.

“In the kitchen.”

Stella understood, “I’m sorry that I didn’t invite you in. I should have been more considerate.”

“It’s not your fault. I was ready to sleep in the kitchen. What if someone puts poison in the food?” Lynette comforted her with a smile.

Stella looked at her simple and honest smile.

She always thought that she had endured a hard time in the past. However, compared with the soldiers, it seemed that her life was not that harsh.

They were not only optimistic in adversity, but they were also full of hope for life. They would not feel that they were miserable and they would face difficulties in their lives with optimism.

She knew that she could never be like them. Not only because it was too difficult, but also because she felt that it was unnecessary to endure it. So many times, she wanted to end her life and be done with everything.

Compared to them, she was weak.

“Please have a good rest when we go back today,” Stella spoke to her softly, then, she lowered her head to eat her meal.

“By the way, Madam, you probably don’t know this, but the soldiers have caught hundreds of crabs. They are all really cute.”

“They caught hundreds of them?” Stella was surprised.

“Thirty of them went together. Several people were guarding on the top of the roof, and a few of them were at your door. The rest of them were at the gate,” Lynette explained.

“Well, when are you going to cook again? I’ll help out.”

“About 9 a. m. I’ll cook the ribs and grill the vegetables first as they both will take some time to cook. Then, I’ll cook the other dishes. The ribs could be grilled together with the vegetables, and I’ll make the mashed potatoes last so they’ll still be hot when served.”

“Okay,” Stella replied.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

After breakfast, she went back to her room and turned on her phone to check the footage of the library. Jasper appeared at 2 a. m. He looked through every book and he was clearly still looking for something. He looked for it until 5 a. m. He would turn to look at the door with vigilance and then hide in the dark quickly.

Auntie Wood also came in to search through the books furtively. Stella could clearly see that something was fishy.

Auntie Wood took down the last row of books one by one, then she stood in front of the bookshelf for a while. She then put all the books back without leaving any traces.

Stella frowned.

Auntie Wood flipped through the books in a very orderly manner, which meant that she must have rummaged through the library many times before.

Could it be that Auntie Wood was looking for some treasure?

What about Jasper?

It was unlikely that he was looking for the treasure. After all, he knew where the treasure was, and he also knew the password. She had cracked the code and told him about it.

However, why hadn’t he contacted her after such a long time?

Stella sighed and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

She called Elvis.

“Madam, I was just about to send you the video. I have already acquired the footage of Auntie Wood opening the file. She opened it shortly after she came out of the factory,” Elvis reported.

“I guessed as much. Her motives are clearly bad. Have you found all the videos about her over the past three months?” Stella asked.

“Everything has been sorted out. She would often visit the Englese Clubhouse over the past three months. And she was… dressed very glamorously. However, we weren’t able to see what she was up to in there. I’ll send you the video,” Elvis reported.

Stella’s eyes darkened, “Elvis, I need you to do something. Be quick and don’t let anyone know about it.”
