Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Did he pay by using the mobile app or by cash?” Stella asked. If he did not pay in cash, she would be able to return the money. She was not used to strangers paying for her meal.

“It was paid by cash. He is a very handsome man. He sat near you and covered you with a blanket while you were asleep. He’s also from A Country,” The waitress said admirably.

Stella raised a smile. It seemed that she would not be able to return the money.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Meeting a compatriot who showed kindness and compassion without expecting anything in return in a foreign country was heartwarming. She liked this warm feeling. “Thank you.”

Stella picked up her bag and left. Her phone rang once she stepped out of the café.

It was the Police Commissioner. She answered the call.

“Miss Grace, I’m Vann. Are you free now?” the Police Commissioner asked politely.

Stella had cooperated with the police station several times before, hence she knew that they must have something regarding the case to discuss with her. Otherwise, they would not have given her a call.

“I just came out of the café and I’m planning to go grocery shopping for my dinner tonight. If it’s anything important, just tell me. I’m all ears,” Stella responded as she hailed a cab.

“Could you come to the police station? The State Mayor will also be present as well. He’s very interested in you,” Vann asked.

She was not interested in the State Mayor, but it did not seem beneficial for her to offend them since she worked and resided in the country. “I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”

20 minutes later.

Upon her arrival at the police station, a policeman led her to the Commissioner’s office.

Two guards were standing in front of the Commissioner’s office with a blank expression.

The policeman entered and announced her arrival.

Stella then followed him inside. The State Mayor and Vann stood up politely to greet her.

“I’ve heard about your achievements and I have always wanted to meet you in person, but I’ve been too busy recently. I’m delighted to meet you today,” the State Mayor said cordially.

Stella replied politely, “It’s my honor to meet you, Mr. Mayor.”

“Vann often talks about you in front of me. You cooperated with him in many cases. I’m interested in inviting you to join our Special Operations Group. What do you think?” the State Mayor asked.

“Thank you for the offer but I have a job currently. I’m afraid that it will distract me from my tasks in the clinic. I’m really sorry,” Stella declined the offer.

“It’s okay. We could always accommodate your time. Besides, we’ve got sponsorships and you will receive a generous pay.”

Stella smiled. Her grandfather had left her with a large sum of money. With the bank interest, she need not worry about food and bills for the rest of her life. She opened a clinic because she wanted something to do. She did not care about money. “Could I ask for something else?”

“Please go ahead,” the State Mayor decided to hear her out.

“In hypnosis, we hypnotize a person’s spirit. I have always been researching the brain structure and I wish to obtain more data. I’m aware that there are laboratories that conduct specific research on the human brain, but it is secluded from the public. I hope that you could introduce me to the laboratories for me to broaden my knowledge,” Stella requested.

“That will not be a problem. Our sponsor happens to be the sponsor for the laboratories. It should be an easy task. I will talk to the head about the matter. Does this mean that you agree to be a part of the Special Operations Group then, Miss Grace?” the State Mayor asked happily.

“Yes, of course,” Stella replied.

“That’s great. I’ll be the host tonight and invite the others over. They will have a chance to know each other tonight,” the State Mayor said to Vann.

“It’s our blessing that the team could be formed. Many unsolved cases and serial killer cases could be solved. It will definitely cause a sensation,” Vann responded happily.

Stella met the others later that night. All of them were Americans except for her.

Alissa, an African-American woman, was skilled at martial arts and had good judgment skills. She used to be a special agent.

Hogward was a soldier from the special forces who retired from the United States. He was good at martial arts, using weapons, and had strong analytical skills.

Ray was an elite of the FBA. He had incredible detective skills and was good at problem-solving. He had participated in many large-scale cases and worked with Stella a few times, so they were familiar with each other.

The last person was called Edwin. He was a computer expert, famous for his hacking abilities. When he was only fifteen years old, he succeeded in hacking into the national missile defense system. Due to his extraordinary talent, he was not arrested.

“Let’s come up with an impressive name for our team,” Edwin adjusted his glasses and announced with a smile.

“What about Storm?” Ray asked.

“In my opinion, the storm is powerful and destructive. However, it fails to bring out the idea of justice,” Edwin rejected the idea.

“Punishers,” Hogward suggested.

“Sounds too straightforward. It’s not in the least appealing,” Edwin turned down the suggestion again.

“Let’s call ourselves Sunlight,” Hogward proposed.

“Sunlight sounds too warm. It doesn’t bring out the awe-inspiring effect or the power of threat,” Edwin retorted in disgust.

“You have better think of an idea,” Horn snapped, a little furious.

Edwin looked at Stella with a grin. His face turned red and his voice became softer when he said, “Stella, please suggest a name.”

Stella did not care about the name of the team, so she was not paying attention. When she heard her name being called out of the blue, her mind went blank for a moment before she said, “Eleven.”

“Why Eleven?” Alissa asked in confusion.

“Eleven in numbers suggests that heaven is fair and those who are guilty will not escape the law. There is only one truth, and you are the murderer,” Stella felt a little embarrassed as she prattled on.

“Moreover, it’s currently November. Eleven will mark the month in which our team was formed. It indicates that the truth will prevail and everything will return to its original state. It also means that the murderers will pay for their sins,” Stella continued.

“I feel that Eleven is a fascinating name. It is quite reserved, yet it portrays the power of threat. Besides, there is a significant meaning behind it,” Edwin remarked in a flattery manner.

“I agree,” Alissa raised her hand to show her approval.

Since there were only five of them, three votes represented the majority and the suggestion was accepted. Even if anyone else had different opinions, it would not change the final decision. Hence, they raised their hands in approval.

“Alright, you will be called Eleven from now onwards. I’ll draft a document and announce the formation of the Special Operations Group in a while. The troops in the areas under my jurisdiction are at your disposal. As long as you produce results, the other states will be more than eager to recruit you. Gradually, you’ll gain authority,” the State Mayor announced happily.

“Take it easy. Rome was not built in a day,” Vann responded with a smile.

One of Vann’s assistants grabbed the opportunity to announce something. “We have a very peculiar serial murder case recently. Let me introduce the details to you.”

“Let’s talk about this tomorrow when we officially start our work, is that alright for you?” Alissa interrupted.

Vann’s assistant agreed and muttered an apology.

After the meal,

Stella went home. As she approached the corner of the road, she halted in her tracks.

She sensed that someone was staring at her from the dark. She quickened her pace, and the person followed suit…
