Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“However, if he does not die today, then my son and I will.

When I was washing dishes in the kitchen, I received a message from Quinn. He told me that if anyone asked about what secrets I knew, I had to say that the President has an illegitimate son,” Mrs. Zane told her everything she knew.

A light flashed through Stella’s eyes.

What a close call. If the public knew that Sean had an illegitimate child, not only would he be in trouble and irredeemable from the public, but Eli would get in trouble too.

She must not let anything happen to Eli.

“Are you willing to testify against Quinn?” Stella asked.

“Will you be able to ensure me and my son’s safety?” Mrs. Zane pleaded.

Stella thought about it seriously. She was not someone who simply made promises. If she made a promise, she would definitely fulfill it. Otherwise, she would not be able to feel at peace.

She thought of ways to protect Mrs. Zane and her child, “Yes, I will try my best. But, I need you to change your testimony a little. You must say that Quinn has instructed you to frame Zoah, and that Zoah has done the same thing to Jasper’s uncle back then too.”

“Huh? Must I say that?” Mrs. Zane thought for a moment and nodded, “Stella, actually, my family knows about Quinn’s secret. It has something to do with Jasper.”

“It’s related to Jasper?” Stella was shocked.

When Mrs. Zane was about to say something, Stella saw a flash of fire, and a loud bang came after that. The moment she saw the explosion from the corner of her eye, she subconsciously hid behind the chair.

However, that scene was so horrifying that it seemed to be ingrained in her mind. She could not come back to her senses even after a few seconds.

Elvis stepped on the brakes and shouted, “Madam, are you okay?”

Stella returned to her senses, “I’m fine. How is Mrs. Zane?”

When she turned around, she found that Mrs. Zane had been badly mutilated, her face unrecognizable. Half of her brains had been blown out. She could not have survived this.

She did not expect Quinn to plant explosives in her mouth. It seemed to have been placed in her teeth. Fortunately, the car was modified and made of aluminum steel. Even if it exploded, they would be safe as long as they hid behind the chair.

Elves shouted in worry, “Lynette!”

Stella’s heart tightened. Lynette was sitting right behind her, but she could not see her. Unlike her, Lynette did not have a chair to protect her. Stella got out of the car quickly and opened the back door.

Half of Lynette’s body was a mess of flesh and blood from the explosion that had just occurred, and she had lost her consciousness.

“Lynette, Lynette, Lynette!” Stella shouted anxiously.

Elvis also ran over and said, “Madam, please get in the car quickly. It is too dangerous to expose yourself in the open.”

“I’m fine. Get Lynette to the hospital immediately. We must save her. We mustn’t let anything happen to her,” Stella ordered, her eyes turning red.

“Protecting you is my priority. Madam, please get in the car first,” Elvis opened the door and looked around vigilantly.

Sean’s car had also arrived.

Stella tried her best to calm herself down. She had to focus on the bigger picture. This was a crucial time, and she must not drag them down.

She got in the car, closed the door, and took a deep breath. “Elvis, would the surveillance footage show everything?”

Elvis immediately checked the surveillance system installed in the back seat and said sadly, “It’s all been destroyed.”

“What about the backup?”

Elvis showed it to Stella. The hard drive had also been burned completely.

Stella frowned.

Mrs. Zane had died, and they did not have evidence of the truth. The good news was that Quinn’s plans were ruined. Sean was temporarily safe, and Eli would be fine too.

However, Lynette had gotten injured. Stella’s heart ached. After all, Lynette was her subordinate.

“Start the car and drive to the nearest hospital. I will call Anthony now and ask him to get his best doctor,” Stella ordered.

“Right away,” Elvis entered the car.

Sean’s men came over and asked, “What happened? I saw a fire just now. Was there an explosion?”

“A bomb was placed in Mrs. Zane’s mouth, and my people have been injured. I need to go to the hospital now, and there is no time to waste. Ask the medical examiners to go to the hospital immediately,” Stella ordered.

“Alright.”

Elvis then sped to the hospital.

Stella made a phone call. “Anthony, there has been an accident. Quinn planted a bomb in Mrs. Zane’s body. Lynette is injured. We are arriving at First People’s Hospital in another five minutes. Call the doctors and ask them to get ready.”

“Okay, I will call them right away. Do you know who was the one who had killed Trenton?” Anthony asked curiously.

“It was Quinn Zellweger. We had the evidence and the surveillance footage too, but all of them had been blown up. I was too careless. I should have installed a remote control system. The hard drive is burned, and I am not sure if the Technical Department could fix them,” Stella said in frustration.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Anthony knew that Stella did not do it on purpose. She was great at planning, but the other party was not easy to deal with too.

He comforted her, “Take it easy. Quinn is very cunning. He has kept a relatively low profile compared to Christian, and his shrewdness is deeper. He is also very popular.”

He is more difficult to deal with than Christian. We must be more cautious next time. Alright then, I will call the hospital first,” Anthony said as he hung up the phone.

The car was filled with the smell of burnt flesh. It smelled so bad that it would make people nauseous.

Stella closed her eyes. She tried to suppress the discomfort in her heart.

Mrs. Zane said that Trenton knew Quinn’s secret, and that secret had something to do with Jasper. What could it be?

Trenton must have threatened Quinn with it, so Quinn tried to appease him on the surface, but he secretly killed him to keep his mouth shut.

Also, the bomb in Mrs. Zane’s mouth could be controlled with a remote.

Quinn did not kill her when she said that he was the one behind it. He only detonated the bomb when she was about to reveal his secret.

The bomb was detonated in the nick of time, so not only was Mrs. Zane blown up, but so was the monitoring system.

What kind of secret could it be that made Quinn so nervous?

Could it possibly have something to do with Jasper’s father’s death?

Her head was pounding. She could not think of any clues, and because she couldn’t, she was certain that there was a big secret behind it.

The phone rang. It was Sean.

She answered the phone.

“What happened? Is Mrs. Zane dead? Did you get anything from her?” Sean asked anxiously.

“Quinn was the one who killed Mrs. Zane. He is holding her son captive now. You’d better find a way to save his son quickly. He is in danger.”

“Quinn is a cautious man. Since he has killed Mrs. Zane, there is no need to kill her son. He will not budge even if I get someone to interrogate him. I doubt I could get anything out of him either,” Sean explained.

“Quinn’s target is you,” Stella reminded him.

“I have already guessed it,” Sean did not feel surprised. Quinn was the only one of the three big shots that still had power. His goal was to be the next President. He had to achieve this goal before the two other big shots recovered their powers.
