Chapter 598 A Cute Man
Their eyes met when Eli turned to look in Natasha’s direction. She was stunned. However, Sean had already dragged her away before she could take a second look.
Sean lowered his voice and said to her calmly, “That’s not the real Natasha.”
“What?” Eli gasped in surprise, “But she looks just like her, doesn’t she?”
“There is also another man who looks just like Jasper. His name is Bellamy Chuck. This lady has gone through plastic surgery, while Bellamy did not,” Sean explained.
“Wow! That’s so rare,” Eli said. At this moment, she thought of Stella.
Stella would have been overwhelmed with grief if Jasper really was dead. She might have even taken her own life.
Therefore, there could only be two possibilities. Either Bellamy was actually Jasper, or Stella was helping Jasper to plan his revenge.
What would happen if she could successfully avenge Jasper’s death?
Eli didn’t dare to think more about it. Her heart was filled with unease.
“Do you know who was the one who killed Jasper?” Eli asked, trying to change the topic.
“No.”
“Wow, I didn’t expect that there would be something that even you were unaware of,” Eli teased as she tried to dismiss the unease in her heart.
It did not matter that she was feeling uneasy.
There was nothing she could do anyway.
Sean put his arm around Eli’s shoulder and pulled her closer to him. He stared at her thoughtfully.
Eli didn’t dare to think further. She decided to focus all her attention on Sean at this moment. She then said, “Hmm?”
“There are many things of which I may not know about. For example, I’m still unsure of the culprit who tried to kill you and your mother. Nonetheless, I solemnly swear that I won’t let that person go once I’ve found him,” Sean promised her.
When she saw how serious he looked, Eli wondered whether they would be together for all eternity.
Since when had Sean become so manly? A fierce yet lionhearted kind of man who would fulfill her every request. It seemed that he had become the type of man she liked.
Eli began to get nervous and she turned her face away.
Sean held her face and gently turned it towards him.
“What do you want?” Eli asked him.
“Don’t think of anything else but me,” Sean answered firmly as he stared at her.
Eli was stunned. It was as if Sean could read her mind! She murmured, “Okay.”
At this moment,
Stella received a call from Anthony with information regarding the meeting agenda.
“Anthony, do you know where the training ground for the Invisibles is?” Stella asked curiously.
“Yes, I do. It’s in the Eastern Forest region. Would you like me to send some troops there?” Anthony asked.
Stella shook her head and said, “I don’t think that it’s appropriate for your people or the Dark Shadow to show up at that place. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. Just keep an eye on Christian Saltzman and report to me if you find anything suspicious. I’ll handle the rest.”
“Very well. By the way, Madam, could we perhaps arrange a meeting with the Chief? The Chief had been long gone and I could tell that the team morale is slowly deteriorating,” Anthony asked.
“I’m afraid that now is not the right time. I’ve just received news that there are two spies in the military force. It’ll be risky for Jasper to meet with the team at the moment. I understand where you are coming from. Don’t worry, I will arrange a meeting as soon as I could identify the spies. Nonetheless, I’ll convey this message to him,” Stella answered after thinking about it rationally.
“I see. In that case, I will continue to keep an eye on them during our tests then. Thank you for your hard work, Madam.”
“Not at all. I’d like to catch the spies as soon as possible. While we’re at it, please convey a word of caution to your men when they are coming over. I believe that it will be snowing rather heavily over the next few days,” Stella reminded him.
“Yes, Madam. Please take care of yourself too. Will you be visiting the military training base during the New Year?” Anthony asked Stella politely.
Stella shook her head and said, “I have other plans.”
“Alright then. Let’s keep in touch,” Anthony then hung up the call.
After a short break, Stella gave Allen a call.
“I haven’t heard from you in such a long time!” Allen complained as soon as he picked up the call.
Stella felt a little guilty at that moment.
She would only contact him whenever she needed something.
“Will you be coming over to A Country soon? I still owe you a meal.”
“Give me a moment. I’ll buy a flight ticket and come over this instant,” Allen chuckled.
Stella paused for a moment, “Really? That’s great! I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
“Since you’ve already sent your man here to pick me up, it would be rude for me not to come. I’ll purchase the ticket right away! I’ll get back to you once the time has been confirmed,” Allen replied politely.
At this moment, Stella realized that he wasn’t joking at all. Hence, she replied, “Alright, give me a call once you land!”
Allen chuckled and asked, “Well, are you going to tell me the real reason that you’re calling me now?”
Stella sighed heavily, “I’m sorry for bothering you once more.”
“I’ve already expected this. However, I’d rather you keep bothering me. I have been waiting for your call for such a long time,” Allen answered dotingly.
“You could call me anytime, even if you don’t need any help. But if you do, I’ll surely help you to the best of my abilities,” Allen responded reassuringly.
“Thanks to you, I’ve secured a hundred million dollars the last time. I’ll buy you a gift. What do you want? You are not allowed to reject me this time.”
Stella could hear people greeting him on the other side of the phone. She figured that Allen was probably walking out of his office.
She wondered if Allen would really purchase a flight ticket over just because of her.
“You deserved that money. If you really wish to get me a gift, why don’t you sing a song for me then?” Stella requested.
Allen chuckled delightfully, “I’d like to sing ten different songs for you. Would I be granted such honor?”
“The honor is all mine,” Stella said with a smile on her face.
Stella had always enjoyed talking to Allen. To her, he was a perfect man, and she could always be herself when she was around him.
“First, let’s talk about the reason you’ve called me, just in case we’ll get interrupted later,” Allen said as he proceeded into the car. His driver then locked the doors.
He whispered to the driver, “To the airport.”
Stella heard Allen’s conversation with the driver. She figured that she would have to extend her hospitality to him this time around. After all, she did destroy one of his factories. She had to secure a profitable project to compensate him thoroughly.
“Well, I need a top-tier mercenary, the best that one could find. Do you think that you could help me with it?” Stella asked.
“No problem, I will get them to contact you later. I’ll need to hang up the call now,” Allen soon hung up.
Stella turned around and realized that Bellamy was standing right behind her. He looked at her sternly and said, “Are you having an affair with him? I’m not dead, you know that, right?”
“It’s not an affair. He’s my friend, Allen,” Stella explained.
Bellamy walked towards her and answered, “I don’t think that there’s such thing as a man and a woman being just friends. I bet that he’s interested in you, else he wouldn’t have treated you so well.”
At this moment, she recalled Jasper saying the exact same thing to her a few years back. She went forward and hugged Bellamy, speaking in a low and assuring voice, “We’re just friends, I promise.”
Although Bellamy didn’t feel reassured, he still believed her.
He knew that there was only one man whom she truly loved, and that man was Jasper.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
However, what if Jasper really was… dead?
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you when you weren’t by my side. I miss you so much that I couldn’t even focus on my own work,” Bellamy said gloomily.
Stella smiled, “I’m pregnant now, do you think that anyone else would miss me?”
“You’re just a widow in the eyes of the others. It doesn’t matter whether you are pregnant, let them behave the way they want to.” Bellamy said inaudibly as he held Stella’s waist tightly.
