Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella sat up in shock. She was surprised that Frederick had found the evidence.

“What is it about?” She texted him back.

“It’s some intimate photos of her and Asher. However, there is nothing about Christian. I’ll pick some of the photos and post them online tomorrow. I found the evidence at the place where she had adopted me.”

Stella could tell that he was in a bad mood. She took a deep breath and said, ”Frederick, you should go abroad once you’re done with Asher. I’ll tell Allen to help. Christian was never your enemy from the very beginning. There is no need for you to be dragged down into the mire.”

“If he hadn’t told Asher that my mother was holding evidence against him, Asher wouldn’t have killed her. It’s alright. I know what I should do. Thank you, Stella, for caring.”

She felt guilty after reading his text.

She was not worried about him at all. She hoped only for him to leave and start a new life.

Instead of replying to his text, she deleted all of it. Stella climbed into her bed and thought deeply. She then decided to give Anthony a phone call.

“I hope that I didn’t disturb you,” Stella said apologetically.

“No, I’m not asleep yet. Madam, were you the one who did that to Asher?”

“It was Frederick. By the way, I called to ask about Asher. What is the situation right now?” Stella asked.

“According to the usual procedure, the technical division should have already inspected the footage. Many people have been dispatched, for instance, people from the prosecution, court, disciplinary inspection board, and the military committee. As far as I know, they are now looking for Christian to ask questions. Asher and his wife have got it under control. Sean has been actively avoiding them. Everyone is anxiously waiting for an answer. What do you think we need to do?” Anthony asked.

“Have you read the public’s opinion?” Stella asked.

“Yes, they’re all crusading against Asher and his wife.”

”There’s nothing for us to do then. After all, Asher is doomed this time, but Christian will still be safe. Let’s wait and see,” Stella said.

”Yes, Madam. I’ll let you know if we receive anything new. Also, Madam, has the Chief looked for you?” Anthony asked worriedly.

”Yes, he has. However, Lynette saw him. I did not tell her anything and told her to keep it a secret. After all, Christian’s men are still hiding in the military area. We mustn’t lower our guards until we found out who they are,” Stella said thoughtfully.

”What about the psychology test then? When are you free?” Anthony asked.

Stella sighed as there had been too many contingencies going on. She hadn’t even prepared the papers yet, “I’ll prepare the test paper in a few days. Be sure to remind me.”

“Okay, you should rest early then, Madam.”

“Alright,” Lying on the bed, Stella tossed and turned but she still could not fall asleep. She told herself to stop thinking about it, yet the clearer her head was, the more her body refused to sleep. She only fell asleep at about 5 a. m.

Stella was awakened by her phone’s ringtone. It was already 10 a. m. She proceeded to pick up the call.

”Where are we meeting later, Stella?” Greg asked.

“I’ll see you at the Intercontinental Hotel later. There’s a great restaurant nearby. My treat. I’ll meet you in an hour and a half.”

“Oh, okay.”

Stella quickly sent Micheal a text and rushed to wash up. She then asked Lynette to drive.

Lynette looked at her uneasily. She even peeked at Stella through the car mirror. She looked as if she had something to say but stopped on second thought.

“Is there anything you want to say to me?” Stella asked.

Lynette shook her head.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go ahead and ask. It’s obvious that you want to say something.” Stella said coldly.

“The Chief has just passed away,” Lynette said.

“He’s not dead. I wouldn’t be alive if he’s dead. Do you understand?” Stella said wryly.

Hope and joy filled Lynette’s eyes. She felt happy, ”So, the guy I saw last night really was the Chief then! Everything makes sense now. He only appeared right after the Chief died. I knew that the Chief is not dead! He’s invincible!”

”Promise me that you’ll keep it a secret, or else you’re gonna get him into trouble,” Stella reminded her.

”I promise, and I swear I will not say a word about it, even if it costs me my life,” Lynette said in certainty.

“Good,” Stella replied.

The moment they arrived, Greg was already standing outside the entrance while holding his phone.

She had not met him for two years. Time seemed to have left his face untouched. He was still as charming as he was two years ago.

Greg also looked at her, yet he could not recognize her. He turned his sight back to the street and looked at his watch.

Stella walked up to him and smiled.

“Yes? Do you need help?” Greg asked softly.

Stella glanced at his slim and fair hand. “Do you have a girlfriend?”

Greg paused for a moment and frowned, ”You…”

”It’s me, Stella. Long time no see, Greg,” Stella said.

”No way. Did you go for plastic surgery? But why? Weren’t you already pretty before? You’re not lying to me, are you?” Greg asked in confusion.

Stella chuckled. ”We met each other on a train. I was feeling down at that time, and you challenged me to a psychology game. I was right about your recent divorce at that time.”

Greg believed her and gave her a thumbs up. ”D*mn, where’s the guy I’m supposed to meet?”

”I’ll call him to come down here,” Stella called Micheal and said, ”We’re both downstairs. You can come down now.”

She hung up the phone afterward.

Greg stared at her, “How did you know that I have a girlfriend now?”

”I could smell a woman’s scent on you. Plus, you got back yesterday, but you only called me at 10 p. m. That is not like you at all. You have a clingy girlfriend, and you’re okay with it.”

Greg raised his thumb once again, ”Wow. It’s been two years, yet you’re still on top of your game. I need help from both of you.”

”We’ll talk about it later at the restaurant. I’ll do everything I can.”

Micheal made his way downstairs with delight.

Stella raised her smile, “Where is she?”

“She’s still sleeping. She was exhausted last night. I told her to rest,” Micheal said with a smile.

Why did she feel like he was showing off?

”Micheal, I know you. You attended a seminar here a while ago. I was there too. However, you probably don’t recognize me,” Greg said with a smile.

Stella shrugged, “Looks like we could get straight to the point without any introduction then.”

Greg and Micheal got along very well.

They were having a lively conversation in the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Stella quietly flipped through the materials that Greg had brought over.

Greg told Micheal how much he worshipped him, bragged about his research institution, and listened to some of Micheal’s ideas. They both chimed into each other’s topics easily.

Greg glanced at the materials that he had brought and told Micheal, ”This is a devastating case. The police couldn’t seem to find anything. Four of those victims lost their eyeballs. Their faces were filled with scratches, and their fingers were all chopped off. The men that had been sent for investigation have all gone missing.”

Stella’s eyes glowed right after she read the materials. A plan had formed inside her mind. She then passed the materials to Micheal.
