Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

After hanging up Allen’s call, Stella headed to the bathroom to wash up. Her phone rang while she was brushing her teeth. It was a call from Sean. She ignored the call. Her phone stopped ringing the moment she was done brushing her teeth.

She washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror, “Stella, come on. You can do this, Stella.”

She picked up her mobile phone with an icy cold gaze and called Sean.

”Were you the one who did it?” Sean asked.

“What?” Stella asked knowingly.

”Last night, the Attire Allure was set on fire. Five people died in that fire,” Sean was obviously on edge.

”A close friend of mine runs Attire Allure. If I wanted to burn down buildings, I would have burned Christian’s. Have you dialed the wrong number?” Stella said coldly.

”Christian said that he was not the one who did it. There’s no need for him to risk things with his current position. The arsonist has been captured by the military already. It’s not Christian. He would never allow his men to be exposed.”

”Do you believe in whatever he says? Will you believe me if I tell you I’m not the one who did it? Investigate this matter if you wish. Investigate all you want. Is there anything else I can help you with?” Stella asked.

”Five people died in the fire. Five people, Stella. Yesterday, you were the one who told me not to drag innocent lives into this matter. But look at what you’re doing now. Which one is the real you, Stella?” Sean asked uneasily.

Stella looked ahead with her eyes drooped.

The people who died in the fire were corpses. It was all part of the plan.

“Question me only if you have confirmed that I was the one who truly did it. Don’t convict people without evidence. You do not have the right to do so. If you truly love our country, you would stay far away from Christian. You’ll be doomed if you continue to use him,” Stella hung up the phone and sighed. She then proceeded to call Christian.

“Hello, what’s the matter?”

“B*tch, don’t play dirty tricks on me,” Christian said angrily.

Stella pressed the record button calmly, “I don’t know what you mean.”

“I’m warning you. Withdraw your men now, or else I’ll make sure that you won’t make it through tomorrow,” Christian warned, showing off his irascible attitude.

“What do you mean by my men? Please be clear.”

”I know that it was your men who set the fire. Don’t tell me that it’s not. I shouldn’t have underestimated you. First, you made Frederick betray me. Then, you framed me. You used my men to set the factory on fire. You sure are a smart little b*tch. I guess you’re tired of living, huh?” Christian said angrily.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You’re dead, Stella. I’m telling you, you’re dead,” Christian hung up the phone.

Stella smirked. The more agitated Christian was, the more likely he was to make mistakes.

She went back into the library and sent the recording to Brayden in Students’ Giggles. She called Brayden and ordered, ”Post the recording on different websites and apps. I want it to be spread as quickly as possible. Divert the public’s attention towards Christian.”

“Understood. You’ll see the results within an hour,” Brayden said with certainty.

Stella hung up the call and continued to design questions for the psychology test. She was immersed in her own quiet world.

An hour passed. Suddenly, Lynette rushed to her, ”Madam, bad news. Several groups of people are coming our way. We saw it with the God’s Eyes. The Chief is afraid that you might get into danger. He has ordered me to escort you out,” she said anxiously.

“There’s no need for that,” Stella said calmly and gave Christian a call.

”Are you nuts?! For the last time, I am not the one who killed Jasper. Why the hell are you targeting me?” Christian was so angry as if he was going to explode.

“I heard that several groups of people are coming towards my place. Are they your people?” Stella asked calmly.

Christian kept quiet.

Stella chuckled, ”Let me remind you of something. I’m a widow and an orphan. It doesn’t matter if I die. The one I love is already dead. I don’t care anymore. However, if I were to die, everyone would know that you were the one who did it. I’m Jasper’s widow. Do you think that you’ll be able to live if I died?”

“You’re doomed, b*tch. Believe it or not, I’ll tear you into pieces.”

“Of course I do. You are the almighty Christian. I have no weapons with me. I’m nothing but an ignorant woman. But your life in exchange for mine? It’s totally worth it,” Stella said with no qualms.

“I’ll make sure that your life is a living hell one day,” Christian smashed the phone.

Lynette was worried, “Is it really alright? No, I’ll have to ask the Chief to send more people.”

“It’s really alright. I can handle it. Is the food ready? I’m hungry,” Stella said and turned off the computer.

“Of course, Madam.” Lynette was still worried.

Stella glanced at Lynette and proceeded to make a phone call to Anthony, ”Are they gone yet?”

”I was just about to call you, Madam. Yes, they’re all gone now,” Anthony said.

“Have you taken any photos?”

“They were wearing masks. We couldn’t see their faces clearly.”

”Where did they come from? Follow them, just in case,” Stella reminded.

“Understood. I’ll send someone to do it.”

Stella hung up the phone, “Are you relieved now?”

”You’re really amazing, Madam. With just a phone call, Christian had no choice but to withdraw his men,” Lynette sighed with relief.

”It’s not a good thing, Lynette. Christian believes that he could turn the tables one day. That’s why he is enduring it silently. Once he makes new plans, something big will happen. He is a very dangerous man,” Stella said through her judgment.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“What should we do?”

Stella put on a smile, ”Christian is not someone who subdues others by virtue. Do you think that there will still be people who would work for him once he has lost everything?”

“That makes sense. Anyway, as long as I’m alive, I’ll make sure no one hurts you, Madam,” Lynette patted her shoulder and said.

“Let’s go out.”

Stella checked the monitor while Lynette was preparing lunch. She found nothing odd.

Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. It was a call from one of her guards.

She answered, “What’s wrong?”

“Madam, a woman has asked to see you.”

“Woman? What’s her name?”

”She said that her name is Tinley. And she said that she is Bellamy’s girlfriend,” the guard reported.

“What?” Stella was shocked. She frowned, “Bellamy’s girlfriend? Let her in.”

“Yes, Madam.”

She quickly called Bellamy, just in case.

“Why are you calling me all of a sudden?” Bellamy said with a gentle smile.

“Do you know someone called Tinley?” Stella asked.

“I’ve never heard of this person. What’s the matter?”

“She said that she’s your girlfriend and she has asked to see me,” Stella explained.

“I dated Bettany when I was young, and you have been my girlfriend since then. I have no idea who Tinley is.”
