Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

The phone rang once, twice, thrice… Nobody was picking up.

“Damn it.” Eli Wayne was getting frustrated, and she smashed at the phone angrily.

She could not be so reckless, Stella Grace’s life was in danger.

Eli picked up her phone from the ground.

Fortunately, it was not broken.

She called Jasper Milton again but there was still nobody answering the phone call.

Eli Wayne was in a panic, she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

“Jasper Milton, answer the phone. I need your help,” She muttered in a panicked voice.

Unfortunately, there was still no reply from Jasper Milton.

Just when she was about to smash at the phone again, Jasper Milton finally called back.

“Chief! Finally, you picked up. I was close to losing it!” Eli Wayne said in a tearful voice.

“Get to the point. I’m in a meeting,” Jasper Milton said coldly.

“Alright, the thing is, Chief, please rescue Stella, she has been taken away by Frederick Addington again!

She has also never slept with that Frederick Addington! It was all a lie.

Also, the reason she with you is me.

Frederick Addington recorded an indecent video of me…

And he is using this to make sure Stella would not leave him. She really has feelings for you, I can assure you that.

She just does not want to be a burden to you, and she thinks that cutting you off so cruelly is the only way forward.” Eli Wayne let out the whole truth that was being kept from Jasper Milton all this time.

Jasper was dumbfounded, hearing these words from Eli. He knew that Stella Grace was not telling him the truth, and he was right.

“I’m on it, let me think.” Jasper Milton raised his hand to look at the time.

“You have to do it now. They’ve been gone for a few minutes, it will be too late if you don’t act now.” Eli Wayne said desperately.

“I see.” Jasper Milton put down his phone and after a little contemplation, he called the police station of A City.

“Hello, I’m calling from the military office. The Deputy Chief of the Health Department, Frederick Addington, has been involved in a major incident. We need him to cooperate with the investigation. We need to track his mobile phone and arrest him within ten minutes. This is top secret, sensitive military information is involved. Please wait for our Lieutenant to take over the matter.”

“Yes, sir, we will cooperate with the military.” The officer replied.

During the journey…

Stella Grace looked at the passing scenery through the window.

The rain was still very heavy. As the rain pattered on the window, the scenery became a blur, just like her state of mind, becoming more and more vulnerable, like the flowers getting battered by the rain.

Frederick Addington glanced at her.

The swelling was still obvious on her cheeks.

He recalled how hard his slap was just now.

But he would never apologize for it, he treasured his dignity too much.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Come back and stay with me. I’ll spend the night with you every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.” Frederick Addington sounded like he was pitying her.

Stella Grace smirked sarcastically. She moved her snow-white fingers and drew circles on the window while saying coldly, “What about the other days?”

“You can’t be too greedy.”

“I’ve always been greedy. You know, I want my man to be loyal only to me.” Stella said calmly.

“What gives you the right to say that? Nowadays, all the guys are always having fun with other girls, you should just accept it, you’ll feel better too.” Frederick replied callously.

“So…” Stella Grace squinted at him and said, “We’re people of two different worlds, I don’t want to be associated with you.”

Frederick’s gaze intensified, he sneered and said sarcastically, “In my eyes, you got nothing on me.”

“Really?” Stella Grace was strangely calm. She leaned against the chair and pulled on the seat belt. Staring at the storm outside the car, her heartfelt, in contrast, as tranquil as a lake.

Neither of them spoke, the atmosphere felt calm yet dangerous.

“If you feel lonely, I am fine with you giving birth to a child, and in return, I’ll provide you with one hundred thousand dollars every month as your pocket money. You have the choice to decide whether or not to continue with your medical career.” Frederick Addington said.

Stella Grace remained silent.

Frederick frowned. “Did you hear me?”

Stella Grace turned her body to face Frederick Addington. “I have given this a lot of thought, I still can’t comprehend why you don’t want to divorce me. I can’t compare to Felicia Chuck, she has all the background and looks you want, plus she actually loves you. Frederick Addington, have you actually fallen in love with me?”

Frederick Addington smiled vaguely, his eyes hard to decipher. “You think too much. Falling in love with you? That’s impossible.”

“Then why don’t you divorce me?”

“Jasper Milton is all crazy about you. I’m going to use you as a bait to lure him to a trap. Then it will be a piece of cake to dethrone him, don’t you agree?” Frederick Addington chuckled.

Stella Grace could not tell whether he was being serious.

If what he said was true, then it was all the more reason for her not have anything to do with Jasper Milton from now on.

Frederick Addington suddenly stopped the car.

Stella Grace continued to look straight ahead.

There was a police roadblock in front, and several police cars were parked there. Some policemen came over and knocked on the window.

Frederick Addington lowered the window.

The police officer flashed his badge. “Frederick Addington, you have been suspected to be involved in a top-secret case. Could you come with us?”

“Me?” Frederick was hesitant, but then he smiled. “Did the military order you to do this?”

“We don’t know. We’re just following orders. Come out.” The policeman swung open the car door.

“Very good, haha, this is very good.” Frederick winked at Stella while muttering.

He was not dispirited at all. On the contrary, he was rather amused.

Stella Grace was even more worried.

Would Frederick Addington really use her as bait?

No, Frederick would never know how close she was to Jasper Milton.

However, the world of politics and power was a dangerous one.

Perhaps, it was because of the relationship between Jasper Milton and herself, that led Frederick Addington to set this up…

Stella Grace’s cell phone rang.

When she saw that it was Jasper Milton, she hesitated and did not answer.

A message from Jasper Milton also came in.

“I know you’re in the car. Call me within the next minute, or I’ll come for you.”

Stella Grace noticed the insistence in his message. When he called again, she had to answer.

Jasper Milton said nothing on the other end of the phone. Obviously, he was furious.

After a while…

He asked, “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

Stella Grace felt reassured when Jasper Milton’s voice appeared in her ear.

She read before somewhere…

that a good relationship can only be cultivated when at least one of the parties was able to grow and flourish.

This was obviously not the case between Jasper Milton and herself.

“I’m fine, I’m not hurt. Let Frederick Addington go, this is my battle, I’ll face it alone,” Stella Grace said softly.

Jasper Milton hated her for always pushing him out of her world.

“Do you have to distance yourself from me again?” He sounded very disappointed.

“If that’s what you think it is, so be it,” Stella Grace finished her sentence and hung up the phone.

Jasper Milton stepped out of his car. He had no umbrella, so he was immediately drenched when he walked out in the rain.

Lieutenant Johnson hastily placed a black umbrella over his Jasper Milton’s head.

Half of his shoulder was still under the rain, and droplets of water were dripping from his hair. He stood still in the gloomy rain and wind for a while.

When then walked over and opened the car door, his eyes falling on Stella Grace, who was in the passenger seat.

“Get out of the car, follow me.” Jasper Milton ordered.
