Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. I’ll call you if anything happens,” Stella said as soon as she saw Frederick walking towards her.

She hung up the phone and seemed to recall something. She asked Frederick, “You did not install any surveillance on my phone while I was sleeping, did you?”

“I did that once before. Do you think that I would dare to repeat the same mistake?” Frederick Addington asked in reply.

Stella looked at him as though he was a changed person, “I believe you.”

“Let’s have dinner. You’ve slept for a long time,” Frederick walked forward.

Stella followed him from behind and looked at his maid downstairs, “Frederick, did Linda go over to your mother’s?”

“She did. She said that the safe was placed in the cabinet, but it is not there anymore,” Frederick said.

“The note mentioned that the thing is at the place where it used to be. Where was the safe located before it was put in the cabinet?” Stella asked.

Frederick paused, “I’ll search the room later.”

“Also, where is this place that Linda had warned you about the evidence? Was it here, your mother’s house, or was it somewhere else?” Stella continued to ask.

“It’s here. Why?” Frederick frowned.

“Wait a minute,” Stella called Linda.

The call was immediately picked up.

“Natalie! I was scared of my wits! Frederick’s mother died miserably. I heard that her body was hammered with nails all over. It’s so terrifying!” Linda said fearfully.

“Yeah. Linda, have you told anyone else about the evidence that Nina has of her and Asher?” Stella asked.

“I’ve only told you and Frederick about it. I don’t know anyone else in the city. Was she killed because of this? That is so terrible! I quite liked Auntie Chyl.”

“I don’t know. The police are still investigating. Have you had dinner yet?” Stella asked.

“Yes, how about you? Could I come over to your place now?”

“I’m having dinner outside at the moment. I’ll call you in a bit,” Stella said.

“Alright, remember to call me. I’m really bored here. Plus, Frederick is ignoring me again.”

“Okay,” As soon as Stella hung up the phone, she looked at Frederick.

“What’s wrong?” Frederick looked at Stella in confusion.

“Linda said that the evidence is about your mother and Asher being together. I think that Asher is the most likely suspect as of now.” Stella said.

“I see,” Frederick hummed.

“I know that you’ll hand over the evidence to Christian. However, I bet he knows everything already. I think that he would have the evidence of your mother and Asher being together too, right?” Stella asked.

Frederick thought that it was an odd question to ask, “I don’t know much about this. You know…”

Stella kicked Frederick.

He looked at Stella in confusion.

“I’ll accompany you to the place later to see if we left anything out,” Stella said.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Frederick replied with a nod.

Stella picked up her spoon and took a look at the food, “Forget about it. I don’t feel like eating. Let’s go now.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I don’t have an appetite,” Stella walked out of the room.

Frederick didn’t eat either. He followed her out and opened the car door.

“Aren’t you going to check if there are cameras or bombs on the car?” Stella asked as she stood outside the car.

“Do you check the car every time you leave?” Frederick was astonished.

“I have been very careful. I have avoided plane explosions and weird devices in my car. You can’t be too careful. I have been living like that for years. Honestly, all I want is a normal life. I often recall the time when I was still a doctor. I was busy and my life was very fulfilling. At the very least, it felt safe,” Stella said dully.

“Alright, I’ll find someone to check the car,” Frederick proceeded to make a phone call.

Stella looked into the room, and the maid raised her head to look at her. The maid withdrew her gaze after meeting Stella’s eyes.

Stella smirked.

Curiousity.

That was not a good thing.

A short while later, Frederick’s men carried a box over. The detector beeped after scanning the car.

Frederick looked at Stella with astonishment.

Stella rolled her eyes.

Frederick proceeded to make a phone call, “Access the God’s Eyes and find out who had touched my car.”

Frederick’s men found a surveillance camera under his car and handed it over to him.

“Check the room too,” Stella said dejectedly.

Frederick’s men turned their heads and looked towards him.

”Do it,” Frederick ordered.

His men then walked toward the room.

“Did you already expect all this?” Frederick asked Stella in surprise.

“Linda said that we were the only ones she has ever told the secret to. I’m sure that there are no surveillance cameras in my house, and my people wouldn’t betray me.

Therefore, it was another group of people who had killed your mother, and it seems like they did it for the evidence.

Your mother died as soon as Linda told us about the secret. The information was either leaked from my side or yours.

Since there are traces of traitors among your men, it’s natural to have surveillance devices around you.

You are cautious and alert. You often attend special occasions, where there will be anti-surveillance systems. Therefore, they won’t install any tracking devices on your body and phone.

Hence, the places where you would spend most of your time are either at the car or in your room. The traitor would definitely put a bugging device in these two places,” Stella analyzed.

“Could it be that my mother had leaked the secret by accident?” Frederick made a guess.

“Your mother has hidden it for so many years. She did not even tell you about it. Who do you think she would tell? Even if she wanted to threaten someone, she didn’t need to do so based on the current situation. It is unlikely that she was the one who had leaked it,” Stella said firmly.

Frederick suddenly understood. His sharp gaze swept towards the door and he took a big step inside. He asked one of his men, “How was the check?”

“There are surveillance devices installed in twelve different spots of the room. Almost every single room has them,” Frederick’s underling reported.

Frederick clenched his teeth and swept his gaze over the maid in the room.

The maid lowered her head in fright.

Seeing how the maid had reacted, Stella could already guess what had actually happened. She recalled what she had said today, thinking hard if she had accidentally leaked any confidential information.

Anthony Levis had called her earlier.

The conversation seemed normal.

During the conversation, she said: “I’ll explain it to him next time. By the way, Nina wrote a note before she died. The note mentioned that the thing that we are looking for is kept in its original place. If I’m not mistaken, she was referring to the location of the evidence. We should try our best to find it. This should allow us to at least have a bit more of an advantage in taking the enemy down.”

Thank God she did not mention Jasper’s name throughout the conversation.

However…

“Frederick, you should send your men to your mother’s house as soon as possible. I suspect that someone is there already,” Stella said with worry.

The moment Frederick tried to make a phone call, someone called him and he answered the call immediately.

Stella watched as his face darkened. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

After hanging up the phone, he then said to Stella wryly, “Stella, go to your room first. Don’t leave the room no matter what. I’ll come to you later.”
