Chapter 529 You Couldn’t Possibly Be Interested In Me.
Frederick would do well as a teammate. However, he could also be very dangerous if he was the enemy.
She did not want to have another enemy, nor did she want to lose him.
She called Anthony and said, ”Anthony, It’s me, Stella. Frederick has gone missing. Sean has sent his men to my house in hopes that we could lend them the God’s Eyes. They’re trying to track Frederick with it.”
“Should we help?”Anthony asked.
“Yes,” Stella replied wryly, “We’ll wait and see how things go.”
“Got it.” Anthony hung up the phone.
Stella ate with her head lowered. There was a lot on her mind.
Bellamy put a few pieces of chicken meat onto her plate after picking out its bones.
Stella looked up at him.
He gave up Rebecca Harington for her. Love should be both sided, ”I’ll stop cooperating with him. Anything he does from now on is none of my business as long as I know what I have to do.”
Bellamy rubbed her head and said, ”Good girl.”
At 3 p. m.,
There was a knock on the door.
Stella opened the door and blocked the way. She asked Lynette, who was outside the door, “What’s wrong?”
“Madam, you need to go online now,” Lynette said hurriedly.
”Okay,” Stella closed the door, locked it, and turned on the computer. All the websites were blowing up with the same headline.
Frederick Addington had released a recording of his conversation with Christian Saltzman.
In the video, he confronted Christian angrily, saying: ”My maid works for you. She betrayed me. You knew that my mother had the evidence against you and Asher’s criminal doings. You killed my mother!”
“How could that be? Why would I kill my subordinate’s mother? Besides, how could your mother have any evidence against me? It was Asher. I was the one who advised him to let your mother go. After all, your mother had been with him for so many years, but he insisted on killing her anyway,” Christian said without hesitation.
“Asher? How is that possible? He loves my mother very much.”
“He loves your mother very much, and that’s why he did not kill her. Instead, he ordered his wife to do it.”
“You’re trying to sow discord. I know you very well. You’re framing Asher and his wife, aren’t you?” Frederick said in disbelief.
“I’ll show you the video,” Christian took out his mobile phone.
The screen showed the video recording from Christian’s phone.
What Asher’s wife did was extremely cruel.
Frederick was clearly very emotional, the screen shook as he recorded the video with his phone. If it weren’t for the sake of the recording, he probably could not have finished watching the entire thing.
After the recording was over, Frederick left only with one sentence, ”I’ll kill him,”
The video then ended.
Frederick was indeed tactful, he had included that phrase on purpose. Even if he failed to assassinate Asher, Asher would still be doomed.
However, now that the video had been exposed, Asher was basically done for anyway. Meanwhile, Christian’s reputation would drop once more.
Bellamy stared at the screen coldly. He then moved his sight onto Stella, and asked, ”Are you touched?”
Stella came to her senses and looked at Bellamy, “Hmm?”
Bellamy knocked on her head and said, ”He did it for his mother, not for you. Don’t get touched so easily.”
Stella smiled as she knew he was just being jealous, ‘I know that.”
Bellamy frowned. He was unhappy. ”You’re right. Even if we had met earlier, you wouldn’t have been interested in me. I should be thankful for how unreliable Frederick was.
He walked toward the door.
Stella’s heart tightened. She hugged him from behind and asked, “What’s wrong?”
”It’s nothing, I’m just angry at myself,” Bellamy said impulsively.
Stella walked in front of him. She could already guess why he was angry, ”When the tiger is gone, a house cat will call itself king. You’re too powerful, that’s why you’re a constant target for everyone. Every single move you’ve made has been watched closely. It’s like basketball, it doesn’t matter how good you are, it’ll still be difficult to break through if you’re guarded against by five players. Meanwhile, Frederick is different. He’s one of Christian’s men. It’s easier for him to get the evidence. Don’t be angry with yourself.”
The look in Bellamy’s eyes softened. “I’m now recruiting the main battalion to ensure that I’ll become the President in two years. All I’m worried about is you being snatched away. Guess all my opponents are very powerful.”
Stella smiled and said, “My heart is with you. Am I that easy to be snatched away? I’ll kill myself if they ever get me. Don’t worry about it.”
Bellamy pinched her nose and said, “You sure are good at talking. I could never leave you now.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Stella hugged him. “Don’t leave then. Promise me that you won’t leave until tomorrow.”
“Promise,” Bellamy replied.
After dinner, Stella leaned on Bellamy and watched TV. It felt sweet, even though they were just watching TV.
At the same time, time passed quickly. Soon, midnight had already arrived.
“I’m leaving now,” Bellamy said.
Stella held his hand and did not want him to go.
Bellamy raised a smile and said, ”I’ll come tomorrow. My custom-made transport is almost done in the making.
Only then did Stella let go of his hand. She opened the door and watched him sprint into the library. She turned her head, and she saw Lynette, standing in the corner while staring at her.
Stella was shocked. She pulled Lynette into the room and said, “Promise that you’ll never tell anyone about this.”
“Madam, that person looks like the Chief. But the real Chief is already dead. Don’t be fooled anymore,” Lynette said with worry.
Stella frowned, “I know what I’m doing. Promise that you’ll never tell anyone about this. Not even Anthony.”
Lynette pursed her lips and did not agree immediately. Her eyes were red, “The Chief will definitely be upset if he knew about this.”
Stella could guess what Lynette was thinking about.
“Lynette, things aren’t as you think. I promise that the only man I love is Jasper. I’ll never fall for anyone else. Hence, promise me that you won’t say a thing about this,” Stella requested.
Lynette nodded.
Stella patted her on the shoulder. “Go back and have some rest. Don’t overthink.”
Lynette nodded and walked back to her room with her head hung low.
Stella stared at Lynette.
She had to move her bedroom into the library from now on. It was alright for Lynette to find out, but what if it was someone else? She wouldn’t know how to explain. What if it was a spy that found out?
Stella went back to her room and saw Bellamy’s pajamas on the sofa. She picked them up and washed them in the bathroom. She then dried them with an iron, put them back in the closet, and went to bed.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She thought it was a text from Bellamy, but instead, it was from an unknown number, “It’s me, Frederick. Are you asleep?”
Stella thought for a moment and replied to his text message: ”Everyone is looking for you. Sean has already taken action. I bet my cell signal is locked. You better not contact me anymore.”
“I found the corpse of my mother’s housekeeper. She was buried in the cellar. Also, I found the evidence that my mother had mentioned.”
