Chapter 504 Meeting Him Face To Face
“The casino, yes?” Stella Grace smirked.
She believed that the casino would kill Vera for not returning their money. However, there was no way the casino would slander her deliberately.
Hence, someone must have been targeting her on purpose.
Stella threw a stack of money in front of Sirus, “How can I find the people from the casino? Or, do you have any idea who made Kevin say all this?”
“It’s Warren. He’s in charge of the casino,” Sirus answered every question truthfully.
Stella wrote down a phone number on a piece of paper. She then stuffed the paper in between the money and handed it to Sirus, “All I can say is that Kevin’s life is in danger right now. Tell him to call me if he wants his life saved.”
She then stood up and said to Lynette Lanes, who was next to her, “Let’s head over to the casino.”
Stella walked first and went to the cardroom.
Glancing around, she noticed that there weren’t many people in the living room. Those who were playing cards were all in the private rooms.
“How many of you?” the usher asked.
“Two. I want to meet Warren,” Stella did not beat around the bush.
“Have you made an appointment?” the usher inquired.
“Tell him that I know how Vera had died. He’ll want to see me,” Stella replied as she gazed towards a private room.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Eight poker-faced bodyguards were standing at the door of one of the private rooms. The person inside must be very powerful.
She was very curious about who was inside.
Stella walked towards that private room but she was stopped by the bodyguards at the door.
“I’m here to gamble,” Stella said.
“This is not a gambling place,” The bodyguard said viciously.
“Let her in,” A muffled voice came from inside.
The door was then pushed open by the bodyguards.
Just as Stella was about to walk in, Lynette grabbed her hand, “We don’t have enough people with us.”
“It’s not a fight. We don’t need a lot of people with us. I’ll go in and take a look. I’ll be out in about ten minutes. Wait for me outside. Do you understand?” Stella hinted.
If she was not out in ten minutes, Lynette should seek help then.
Lynette let go of her hand and nodded.
Stella entered the room. She was stunned when she saw the man’s side profile.
It was Jasper Milton.
He was sitting on a large chair, dressed in a white suit with black hems. He looked like a king with a powerful aura. He took a look at her, his lips curled. His eyes were deep and bottomless.
Stella was dumbstruck once again.
The hair on his temples was shaved and the middle part was styled up. He looked very handsome and cool, as though he could turn the world mad with just his looks.
However, there was also an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Back then, she could feel the cold temperament and fortitude in him despite the beard he had.
However, the person before her now seemed a little strange and unfamiliar.
Was it because he was on a mission now?
Stella was so excited as though her heart was going to explode. There were a lot of questions that she wanted to ask him.
However, they were in someone else’s territory right now and the room must be installed with multiple hidden surveillance cameras. She tried her best to restrain herself and keep calm.
“I heard that you wanted to gamble with me,” he said.
“Isn’t this a casino?” Stella replied with a question.
He smiled and said, “What do you want to play then? High Card, Blackjack, or Five Card Stud?”
Stella’s brows frowned slightly as she sat in front of him.
His voice was rustled, as though he had lowered it deliberately so that no one would know how he actually sounded like.
Was she being too calm after meeting a guy who resembled Jasper? She took a deep breath.
“Although this might sound frivolous, you look just like my husband. Almost identical,” Stella spoke straightforwardly.
He shuffled the cards, placed them in the middle of the table, and leaned back on the chair.
Stella observed his actions closely.
Jasper was a man who would always keep a straight posture no matter what kind of state he was in. This was a habit that he had developed after so many years.
It appeared that this man had the same habit too.
She lowered her eyes, and millions of thoughts were running in her mind. Maybe they were being spied on, and her sudden appearance might put him into trouble.
Perhaps, she should look for a reason to leave.
“You’re talking about Jasper,” he said directly.
Stella looked at him in surprise.
“When I first came to A Country, I heard that I looked just like their youngest general. We’re almost identical, yet he’s unlucky. He died last month, didn’t he?” he added calmly.
Stella stared at him.
His acting skill was good and flawless.
If she were to stay any longer, she might be a burden to him.
She then stood up.
“I’m sorry, you looked too much like my husband. I’m still in shock and I don’t think I could continue this gamble anymore,” She then walked toward the door.
His men stopped her.
Stella looked back at him.
He stood up, put on a pair of gloves, and spoke in a deep voice, “My name is Bellamy Chuck. Remember this name.”
He walked past Stella and left the room.
Stella stood there in a daze.
Lynette was also shocked by him.
She ran into the room and asked Stella, “Is that the Chief? Why does he look exactly like the Chief? Isn’t he dead? I’ve witnessed him being sent to the crematorium. Christian even brought troublemakers over when the Chief died.”
Staring at Bellamy’s back, Stella frowned, “He’s not Jasper. Jasper is much colder. This guy’s a little ruffian. His talking style and walking habits are different from Jasper’s. But… why does he look so much like Jasper?” Stella made this comment on purpose.
At this moment, two men were watching from the surveillance room.
“Is he really not Jasper?” Zoah asked Simon, who was next to him.
“No, Stella is right. His talking style and walking habits, and even the slightest details are different,” Simon’s words were exactly the same as Stella’s, “Why does he look like Jasper then? Should we run a paternity test?”
“It’s useless to do a paternity test. Jasper is not Steven and Suzi’s son. He is Suzi’s eldest brother’s son. Both Jasper’s sons are missing too.”
“Since he is Suzi’s eldest brother’s son, he should still be somewhat related to Suzi. Isn’t that enough for the test?” Simon Davis proposed.
“There will be a lot of possible outcomes if he’s distantly related. Even if it proves that he is related to Suzi, it doesn’t prove that he’s Jasper,” Zoah Davis said in frustration.
“Can’t we just run a check on his background? Dad, why do you care so much about him? You didn’t do anything bad to Jasper, did you? Also, why are you here at this hour?” Simon asked a bunch of questions.
Zoah’s eyes froze and he cleared his throat, “I came here to investigate Vera’s death and I happened to run into him. When I thought about just how much he looked like Jasper, I decided to stay and observe him.”
“Is that so?” Simon lowered his gaze, seemingly immersed in his thoughts.
Stella had yet to exit the private room yet when she saw Warren rushing in with a group of people. He pointed at Stella and said, “Are you trying to cause trouble in my territory? You’re risking your life. Take them down.”
