Chapter 638 If I Die, I Will Die In Front Of Her
“What about the food? Were there any problems with it?” Stella wondered.
“I have sent a plane to pick him up. The forensic experts will examine the corpse. However, I think that the probability of anything being wrong with his food is very low. I have investigated the soldiers around him. There has not been a problem.”
“So, it is highly likely that he had committed suicide. It is indeed strange to encounter such an impossible crime like this, where there is no murderer, no communication records, and no final letters. Send me the surveillance footage. I will have a look at it once I go back. You have to protect Eli. If anything happens to her, Sean, I won’t let you go,” Stella warned him, her heart dripping with worry.
“Don’t worry. If something happens to her, I won’t even forgive myself. As long as I am alive, I will protect her with my life. If I have to die, I will die in front of her,” Sean promised.
Stella believed in Sean, as much as she believed that Sean loved Eli.
She hoped that Eli and her son would have a good life, so she revealed Eli’s whereabouts to Sean behind her back. If only she could go back in time, she would not have told him where Eli was. Perhaps, at the very least, she would still be living happily with her parents.
It did not matter even if it meant that she could not meet up and chat with Eli again. At least, Eli would still be happy.
It was just a pity that regrets could not fix anything in this world.
She hung up the phone and glanced at the forensic experts.
After examining Mrs. Zane’s body thoroughly, one of the forensic experts packed her corpse in a body bag and took her away.
A few of them were still collecting tissue samples of her remains on the spot.
Stella looked away.
Mrs. Zane was also a pitiful woman. She was a bright and beautiful woman, but her husband cheated on her and had several affairs. It must have hurt her a lot. What was worse was that Trenton had dragged her down with him because he knew the truth.
She loved her son, which was why she agreed to Quinn’s proposal. There was nothing wrong with a mother’s love.
At the thought of this, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
Quinn did not answer the phone since it was from an unfamiliar caller ID.
Stella sent a text message, “It’s Stella. I wish to talk to Mr. Zellweger.”
Quinn did not reply the text message.
Stella called Quinn again.
This time, Quinn answered the phone.
Stella started to record it.
“Woman, what on earth do you want?” Quinn said angrily.
Stella smiled lightly.
There were many reasons for one to be angry. However, there was a hint of tremor in his anger, which, to a large extent, meant that he was showing fear. This was beneficial to her for negotiating.
“What do I want? Well, I think that you should be able to guess it by now. After all, I am not the only one who has the recording of Mrs. Zane in the car,” Stella said calmly.
Quinn was shocked. “Did you install a surveillance system in your own car?”
“You may install surveillance cameras and bombs in Mrs. Zane’s mouth, so why couldn’t I install surveillance cameras in my car? Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras in the car blew up. Fortunately, I saved a remote copy. Ha!” Stella chuckled.
“What on earth do you want?” Quinn said in a low voice. He wanted to suppress his killing intent, but it was still revealed.
“Mr. Zellweger, there is no need to be nervous. If I want to release it to the public, I wouldn’t have called you. I only want you to let go of Mrs. Zane’s son,” Stella said indifferently.
“Is that it?” Quinn obviously did not believe it.
“Of course, if you are willing to tell me what Jasper’s secret is, I will be even more delighted. However, you killed Mrs. Zane because of it. I am afraid that I won’t be able to live another day once I know it. Mr. Zellweger, we don’t have a deep hatred between us, do we?” Stella asked.
“If you don’t have a vendetta against me, then why were you targeting Trenton? Don’t tell me that you didn’t know that Trenton was my subordinate,” Quinn said huffily.
“I did not do it intentionally. Indeed, I was angry. I was the one who solved that case at that time, and Trenton really was in the wrong. I don’t think that I had done anything wrong by exposing his mistakes. Since Trenton knew that he was in the wrong, then he should bear the consequences, shouldn’t he?” Stella asked in return.
“What do you want with his son?” Quinn returned to the topic.
Stella chuckled, “Didn’t you hear the conversation between me and Mrs. Zane just now? She may not have the chance to fulfill her end of the bargain, but I still wish to do my best to fulfill my promise. I will try to save her son.”
“How could you be so kind? You are planning to use him to testify against me, and then try to get my secret from him, right? Let me just tell you. It’s too late now. I have fed him to the dogs. If you post the recording, they will think that you are trying to frame me. No one will believe you.”
“Really? What if I just recorded our conversation just now?”
“Stella, do you think that I’m as stupid as Christian? Your ex-husband has taken videos of me, and I have already installed anti-recording software on my phone. If you don’t believe me, just listen to it then. There will only be your voice in the recording. Also, don’t try to use your weird tricks on me. Otherwise, I will make sure that you die miserably. This is my last warning,” After that, Quinn hung up the phone.
Stella frowned.
She was still one step behind. She could not save Mrs. Zane’s son. She sighed and pressed the recording button. As Quinn had said, only her voice could be heard in the recording. Quinn’s conversation was completely left out.
She had underestimated Quinn.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
A man in a leather jacket with a helmet stood in front of her and said, “Follow me.”
She could tell that the voice belonged to Jasper. After disabling the safety features, she descended from her seat.
He took her hand and got in his car. They then left quickly.
Stella looked behind worriedly and saw a few cars following them.
She made a phone call and said, “I’m fine. I am going back to the manor now. Don’t worry.”
Bellamy did not even look at Stella. He looked at her sharply and said, “Stella, in the future, leave the matters of Quinn to me. From now on, stay at home and take care of the baby.”
“I’m fine…”
“I’m not,” Bellamy interrupted her and said angrily, “When I heard that there was an explosion in your car, did you know that an explosion happened in my heart too? What should I do if you died? I would rather die, do you know that? You already know that there are some things that I need to solve. Give me half a year. I will settle accounts with Quinn, as well as Christian. I just want the best for you.”
“Haven’t we talked about this plenty of times already? I want to fight beside you.”
Bellamy stopped the car. He took off his helmet and looked at her firmly. “I promised to fight alongside you, but, you should know when to stop. Do you think that it is appropriate for you to get involved in all these because of me?”
