Had Bettany reappeared before Stella came along, he might have stayed with her and taken care of her.
However, he already had Stella in his life.
If he stayed with her, Stella would definitely be angry and depressed.
He couldn’t turn a blind eye to that.
He cared about Stella’s thoughts.
“Bettany, this place is not suitable for you,” Jasper said in a low voice.
Bettany Hadley began to calm down. “How is it not suitable? When I was locked up, I was thinking about you every day. Every single day for eight years. I only wish to be with you for the rest of my life. Why do you want to drive me away now?”
“Jasper Milton!” Steven Milton admonished. “Bettany was burned to try to cover you. She was even captured by the enemy.
You know how vicious their methods are.
When she was rescued, not a single part of her body was spared, even her mind was in disarray. She was locked up for treatment, and every time she went for skin grafting, it is extremely painful. It is not something that any ordinary person could endure.
The two of you were so close in the past.
Bettany didn’t do anything wrong. If you abandon her, you will be at fault.
What kind of a person is Stella Grace? She is just an over-confident b*tch. She seduced you even before she was divorced. This only proves how low she is as a person. She is a shameless sl*t. Even if she married you, it would not be peaceful. I don’t want to be embarrassed.
If you want to be with her, you won’t have any more political prospects. Don’t be obsessed with her, you should know who to choose.”
“Jasper, have you fallen in love with someone else?” Bettany asked her chest heaving violently.
“We are already married. I’m sorry. I’ll ask someone to send you back.” Jasper turned around and gave an order to the staff, “Get someone to send her back.”
“She’ll stay here today. I demand it,” Steven ordered.
Jasper did not turn around. He strode out with a resolute expression on his cold face.
He could take care of Bettany for the rest of his life and even help her recover, but he knew who it was who owned his heart.
It had shifted so quietly, so subtly.
His mind was filled with thoughts about Stella.
Every word, every expression of hers tugged at his heart.
He called Lieutenant Shine and asked, “Where did she ask you to send her to?”
Lieutenant Shine glanced at Stella, who was sleeping in the back seat. “She asked me to send her to Suntec International Inc.”
“Send her to Skies Apartment. I’ll go there now,” Jasper ordered. He simply hung up the phone and called the director. “Where are you now?”
“Chief, I’ve already gone out. I’m on my way to the military base now,” the director said respectfully.
“On the way, you will see a big field. Wait for me at the east gate of the field. I will be there in about half an hour,” Jasper ordered. He got in his car and drove off at top speed.
Bettany watched him leave. “Jasper, do you not want me anymore?”
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, he can’t be with that b*ch,” Steven said confidently.
Bettany looked at Steven pitifully.
“From now on, you will live here,” Steven insisted.
Suzi Shine frowned and looked at Steven, and then at Bettany.
Bettany was arranged to rest in Jasper’s room.
“Are we putting too much pressure on Jasper?” Suzi asked worriedly.
“He won’t marry that b*tch. She was Nina Cheryl’s daughter-in-law. She’s damaged goods. Nina is also Zoah’s sister-in-law. I can’t afford to let this happen.
Stella knew that we were the ones who kidnapped her, yet she’s threatening us, how could such a person be my daughter-in-law?
Bettany is different. She has made contributions and fought for the honor of the country. She was also a comrade-in-arms with Jasper. Even if she is disfigured now, Jasper will still marry her. She can make a name for herself. After this, maybe Jasper will stand a chance to be elected as the president in the future,” Steven analyzed.
“Although I don’t like Stella, I think that Bettany is strange. She is not my preferred daughter-in-law. It’s a pity it couldn’t be Katty. In fact, I like Katty the most,” Suzi sighed.
“What can you do if your son doesn’t even like Katty? She kept threatening us for delaying the marriage, yet it’s her family who ended up canceling the marriage, not us. In addition, the love between a man and a woman does not last long, what they want is to protect their long-term interests. We’ll see first,” Steven said in a low voice.
Suzi suspected that Steven had ulterior motives.
All of a sudden, she felt a chill in her heart.
The love between a man and a woman would not last long. Was he referring to their own relationship?
Did he mean that they only had common interests, and not love? But she gave him the best years of her life and even bore his child!
Suzi lowered her head. “I’ll stay here with Bettany. After all, the chief’s attendant is usually a man, so it would not convenient for me to go there. It’s not convenient for you to stay here too.”
“Since Bettany is going to stay here for a long time, she must have a female attendant. I’ll arrange for that. You should come back with me, the company needs you. Having you take care of Bettany is a waste of your talents,” Steven said sternly.
“Should I thank you for being so valuable to you? Or should I thank myself for having such strength and becoming the Deputy Commander’s wife?” Suzi laughed. Without looking at Steven, she walked out of the room.
Steven frowned. “I don’t know what’s on your mind.”
“It’s not that you don’t know. You never even wanted to know about my problems. Steven, human hearts are connected,” Suzi said with disappointment.
“I’m talking to you about Jasper. Don’t talk to me about hearts. Are you going against me?” Steven said angrily.
Suzi didn’t want to get into a fight with him.
He was used to being high above everyone else and never gave people a second chance. It was always someone else’s fault even though he was clearly in the wrong. He was strong, overbearing, and entitled,
“I’ll go back first.” Suzi looked down and walked out of the door.
…..
Stella woke up and felt a hand on her waist. She turned around and saw Jasper sleeping beside her.
She was still groggy, but she noticed her arm had been connected to an IV drip.
Why was he sleeping next to her? Why was she on an IV drip?
This was… Jasper’s Skies Apartment.
As soon as Stella moved, Jasper woke up. He looked at the bag, it was still half full.
“Don’t move. The drip is not finished yet,” Jasper said in a low voice.
