Stella’s mouth curved into a cold smile. She stared at Jasper Milton with her icy-cold eyes. “Are you saying that you’re done for this time?”
Jasper looked at Stella Grace expression in surprise. It was too strange and horrifying.
He was puzzled and called out, “Stella?”
Stella sneered and raised her chin. “Ah. It really wasn’t easy to ruin your reputation and for you to meet your end.”
Jasper’s heart sank. He gazed at Stella and questioned, “What do you mean by that?”
He felt as if Stella had changed into another person, she was like a stranger.
It looked as if she just came from hell.
Stella shot Jasper a cold glare with no warmth in her eyes. “Jasper, the explosion didn’t kill you three years ago. However, three years later, you are still going to die in my hands.”
“Were you the one who arranged that explosion three years ago?” Jasper looked at her incredulously. He couldn’t believe it at all.
“Hah.” Stella scoffed and continued, “How would I have that kind of ability?”
“I just told them that you were a soldier who pretended to be an arms dealer. Do you think they were going to let you live?
Unfortunately, you were so lucky that you didn’t die. Hence, when I was abroad, I thought of ways to get you killed every single day!
Both you and your father were too powerful. It was too difficult to plot for your death. I could only come to you.”
“Do you know how much I hated doing it with you? And how disgusting was it for me?” Stella scowled. She flared her eyes and clenched her fists. The veins on her neck were starting to show.
“You hated me?” Jasper was stunned. “Why?”
“Of course I hate you, you raped me on the eve of my marriage. I was ruined by you. My mother’s condition worsened and she was forced to stay in the mental ward because of you.
My husband, the man I love. Because of you, I suffer continuously in our three-year marriage. It is you who caused me every bit of my pain and grief.
“See this?” Stella raised her hand, the pinkie in her hand was gone. It was round and ugly. “That’s also because of you. I hate you and your parents so much. When I left here three years ago, I wanted to ruin your family’s reputation. You must die a terrible death.”
“You’re lying, aren’t you? If you hated me so much, then why did you marry me? Why would you give birth to our child?” Jasper could not believe it at all. That pinkie was the symbol of their love, wasn’t it?
“You forced me into marrying you. You’re such a powerful person. Did I even have the rights to fight? I did once, I asked Frederick to destroy our marriage certificate. Yet you still registered me on the marriage certificate. Do you know how much I’ve hated you and how annoyed I am?
If you hadn’t forced me, I wouldn’t have thought of such a good way to finally set you up!
As for the child…” Stella’s eyes reddened, guilt flashing in her eyes.
She could not feel guilty as Jasper was such a smart guy. He could easily see through her lies if she was a tad bit out of place.
Stella clenched her fist and explained, “The child named Titus is just a pawn whom I’d placed. He is not even your child. He is just an orphan who had gone through plastic surgeries to look just like you.”
Jasper frowned as he studied Stella. He held onto the iron bars, wanting to get closer to Stella, hoping to catch her lying.
But he didn’t.
She seemed to be telling the truth.
He didn’t want to believe it. “If what you said was true, why didn’t you stay by Frederick’s side when he came looking for you?”
“Because he was still bothered about the fact that I was defiled by you. He promised that if we bring you down together, I could return to his side.” Stella roared.
Finally, there was a crack in Jasper’s eyes. His eyes flickered and he could no longer remain calm. “So, Titus was fake, the treasure never existed, and your love for me was all a lie?”
“How could I love an enemy? Of course the treasure was fake. How would a nameless businessman know about the information of the treasure? I did it just to set you up.”
“What about your jealousy for Bettany? Were you pretending?” Jasper questioned.
“Had I not act, would you have believed my love for you? Ha, ha, ha, ha.” Stella laughed wildly, her tears almost fell. “Jasper Milton, you are as stupid as a pig, so stupid to be getting involved with a woman like me. You brought all these upon yourself. Hahahaha.”
Stella laughed crazily. She turned her back and tears streamed down her cheeks.
It was true that Jasper’s reputation had been ruined because he got involved with her.
She could not let this happen.
She knew that when she stabbed Jasper in the heart with her words, she had cut off all ties between them.
From now on, Jasper would only hate her. There would no longer be any love between them.
Perhaps it was better this way. If she dies three months later, he would not feel sad. He might even be ecstatic about it.
She had done everything she could.
Staring at Stella’s back, Jasper clenched his fists tightly. His eyes grew colder, as if they were ice.
Despite his calm composure, his heart had shattered into pieces. The pain was unimaginable.
He was really stupid enough to give her his heart without any apprehension.
If he had done a DNA test before bringing Titus to the military area, he would not have been caught having the name list.
If he could verify the authenticity of that land, he would not have been set up so easily.
For the first time in his life, he trusted someone. But he was hurt by this very person. This ached his heart.
He had asked for it.
“You couldn’t have come here just to tell me the truth, could you?” Jasper said coldly. His chest was heaving violently and his body was filled with tempestuous waves.
Stella wiped her tears and calmed herself down. Then she turned around to face Jasper.
She took out the agreement and a pen from her bag and handed them to Jasper. “Sign it, the divorce settlement.”
Jasper slapped Stella’s hand away stormily.
He wasn’t holding back. A print appeared on her arms instantly.
“Get lost.” Jasper barked brusquely.
“If you don’t want your parents to be implicated, you’d better sign it. Otherwise, I’ll have your parents accompany you to hell,” Stella threatened.
“You hate me that much?”
“You’ve hurt me and forgotten about everything, of course I hate you. You’ve taken me forcefully… It wasn’t just a few times!
“Because you, I lost my mother, my husband, and my job. Even if I fled to another city, you still followed me. You left me with no choice!” Stella complained sharply.
“If I sign it, will you let my parents go?” Jasper asked, gnashing his teeth.
“The last bit of mercy you’ve shown me reflected the last bit of tolerance I’ve shown you. I’m tired. I wish to return to Frederick’s side and live my life in peace,” Stella stated. Seeing the pain in Jasper’s eyes, she felt as if her heart was torn apart with a sharp knife. She was afraid she couldn’t keep her act up, so she lowered her eyes to avoid looking at him.
