Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella was also in a quandary. The weather was cold, and Jasper would only come at night. The food would be cold by the time he arrived. She was afraid that it might upset his stomach.

”Lynette, prepare an induction cooker secretly and put it in the library. Don’t get caught,” Stella ordered.

Lynette finally understood why Stella had cooked so much. The Chief was coming.

She smiled and said, “Consider it done.”

Suzi came home in the evening. She looked very exhausted.

“Mom, is the company doing alright?” Stella asked with concern.

Suzi shook her head with a smile, “Don’t worry, I can handle it.”

“What’s the matter?” Stella noticed that something was off.

“A batch of goods were faulty and returned recently. The company’s technical department has already gone to M Country to see what had gone wrong,” Suzi said.

“Do we need to compensate for the goods?” Stella asked after thinking for a while.

“It depends on the outcome of the discussion. It also depends on what kind of problem the goods have,” Suzi frowned and said.

“Mom, how much is the market value of our company?”

“There are many companies under Milton Corp. The total value is about 200 hundred million dollars. Why do you ask?” Suzi asked in confusion.

“Is it alright to use some of the money for charity? Like for building schools, hospitals, orphanages, nurseries for children, and so on.”

“I’m very supportive if it’s for charity. Of course, we can,” Suzi said without any hesitation.

”Plus, it is a sensitive period of time right now. You know Asher, right? He and his family are definitely doomed. Hence, we must be more careful. The more we do, the more space we leave for people to take advantage,” Stella advised.

Suzi nodded, “I thought so too. There are some foreign industries under Milton Corp, and they are hard to grasp. We could do charity by selling off sectors of our foreign industries. It’ll be easier for me and safer for Milton Corp too. There is no end to money. All I hope for is the safety of our family.”

”Thank you, Mom,” Stella said sincerely.

She knew Suzi was understanding and reasonable, ‘I wish I could have been your daughter-in-law earlier.”

Suzi also smiled, “I was blinded by your status in the past. I’m sorry.”

”It’s okay. I knew you had already accepted me two years ago. Let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ve cooked a lot of fish, Mom. We went fishing today. They’re really fresh and tasty. Have a try.”

“Alright,” Suzi’s eyes were a little moist.

Anthony called her when they were eating.

Stella answered the call quickly.

”Madam, I would like to report on two things. First, we have found three suspects. Their photos have already been sent to your e-mail. Second, Asher and his wife have been arrested, however, they refused to speak. They said that they would only speak if Sean runs the interrogation,” Anthony reported.

“Did Sean go for the interrogation then?” Stella asked.

”Yes. Asher has admitted to killing Nina. They said that they were framed and that they would prove their innocence in death. Both of them have committed suicide,” Anthony replied.

“Suicide?” Stella frowned, “How did they commit suicide?”

“Asher and his wife smeared poison on their collars. It seems like they have planned to commit suicide long ago,” Anthony replied seriously.

“What about Christian? Wasn’t he asked to go for interrogation too?”

”He said that it was not him, but rather someone who was pretending to be him. His testimony was consistent with Asher’s.”

Stella finally understood, ”The Yaleman family and the Saltzman family have worked together for many years. They have done many evil deeds throughout these years. The two families are mutually dependent. If something were to happen to one of them, the other would not be safe either.

Asher and Christian have already made a prior agreement. The couple committed suicide to protect the name of the Yaleman family.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“What should we do now?” Anthony asked.

Stella smirked, ”Asher may have saved Sean, but not Christian. We’ll let go of the Yaleman family since Asher and his wife are already dead. Now, it’s time for us to fight against Christian.”

“I’m ready to receive your orders,” Anthony said with a salute.

“Alright.”

After Stella hung up the phone, Suzi asked, “Are Asher and his wife dead?”

“I think so.”

Suzi sighed, her eyes dimmed. She continued eating with her head lowered.

Stella could tell that Suzi was feeling down. She held her hand and said, “Our family will be fine.”

“Okay,” Suzi responded and put on a faint smile.

After the meal, Stella sent photos of the three suspects to Greg.

Then, she continued to design questions for the psychology test. Meanwhile, Lynette had moved Stella’s bed to the library.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Sean. Stella had a bad premonition. She frowned and picked up the call.

”I’m sorry, Stella. I couldn’t get you into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet anymore,” Sean said wryly. He sounded sad.

“Do you not want to deal with Christian anymore?” Stella blurted out.

Sean was silent.

”I believe that you’re a smart man, Sean. You knew that it was Christian’s plan. He egged on your parents into killing Nina. He then recorded everything and showed it to Frederick so that Frederick would expose the video and push your parents to the edge,” Stella said.

“What role are you playing in this matter?” Sean asked.

Stella felt a chill down her spine, “My men were wrongly accused of killing Nina. I need to find out the truth.”

”Stella, there are neither eternal enemies nor eternal friends. There are only eternal benefits. I know what everyone has done, and I know what role everyone is playing. You have something you need to protect, and so do I. I don’t want to be your enemy, Stella. Don’t force me,” Sean said dejectedly.

“What about your conscience then? Doesn’t it hurt? Are you going to hurt others unscrupulously just to protect the ones you love? Does the Yaleman family gain their glory through others’ pain?” Stella asked.

“This is how the world works. Only the strong will survive,” Sean said stubbornly.

“Serves you right for not getting Eli. You don’t deserve her,” Stella blurted out.

Sean went silent.

Stella wanted to hang up the phone, but she endured it. She took a deep breath and said, “I need to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet. I’ll only go after Christian, not you.”

”Stop it, Stella, for the sake of our country. Jasper would not want to see this if he was still alive,” Sean said in a low voice.

“I don’t understand. I’m dealing with a vicious person right now. How does that have anything to do with the country?” Stella asked angrily.

“Turmoil in the country will cause turmoil abroad. The problem with Milton Corp’s goods in M country is already an answer to that. Our country’s international status will only increase if it receives more power.”

Stella could tell that Sean was no longer standing by her side. There was no point in talking about it anymore, ”Are you still looking for Frederick then?”

”No. All I want now is stability. I’m sorry,” Sean said and hung up his phone.

Stella was furious. Her eyes glimmered, and she proceeded to make a phone call. ”Start the plan.”
