“What?” Frederick Addington took his mobile phone and walked to the side. He lowered his voice and said, “Did you just say that Stella is missing? How did that happen?”
“I don’t know. I just went to Miss Grace’s room and saw no one on the bed,” Loomis Harper said with fear.
“Did she wake up? Search everywhere in the villa. She shouldn’t have gone far.” Frederick said anxiously.
“Every corner of the villa has been searched, and the surveillance video has been checked. No one came out of Miss Grace’s room.” Loomis reported.
Frederick suddenly understood. He took out his cell phone, strode toward Jasper, and pulled Jasper’s collar.
Jasper Milton pushed him away and snapped, “Get out of my way.”
“Jasper, are you crazy? Without me, Stella can’t live for more than a month. How dare you instruct your men to kidnap her?” Frederick suddenly became angry.
Jasper frowned. “What do you mean? Was Stella kidnapped?”
Frederick saw his reaction and felt a little nervous. He had a bad feeling and felt a chill on his spine. “It wasn’t you?”
Jasper was also worried. “Where is Stella now? Who will kidnap her? Frederick, how many people have you offended?”
Frederick sat on the sofa, his eyes flashing rapidly and his face pale.
He did offend a lot of people, but who would have the ability to kidnap Stella? “It really wasn’t you?”
Jasper was anxious and worried. He ran to the door and said, “I’ll deal with you after I find Stella.”
Seeing Jasper leave, Frederick nodded to the President and said, “Mr. President, my wife has been kidnapped. I have to go first.”
Before the President could respond, Frederick had already run to the door.
Looking at Jasper’s disappearing back, Steven Milton said indignantly, “Our family is truly unfortunate to have provoked a jinx. What a jinx it is…”
He stood up. If he could find Stella and kill her before they did, he would be relieved. “Mr. President, I shall make my move first.”
Zoah Davis watched Steven leave and followed after him. “Steven, wait up.”
Only Sean Yaleman and the President were left in the room.
“Who on earth is that woman? Both Frederick and Jasper are so fascinated by her,” The President said in surprise.
Sean raised a charming smile. “It is a good thing for Jasper and Frederick to be holding each other down. This way, their families won’t be able to grow too big. If Jasper had married Zoah’s daughter back then, it would not be me who would be the President this year, but Jasper.”
“That’s true, but wouldn’t it affect the internal unity in the long run? Jasper has the heart of a loyal soldier, and Frederick is cruel and merciless. Both of them are not easy to deal with. You will take office this year, but your wings haven’t fully grown yet. You can’t afford to slip up,” The President said with worry.
Sean gracefully shook the red wine glass and looked at the red liquid swishing inside in a daze. He said confidently, “What if I have what they want in my hands?”
“What do you mean by that?” The President was not sure what he meant.
Sean showed a meaningful smile, with unparalleled eyes and full of confidence.
Seeing that he didn’t say anything, the President nodded.
He was quite satisfied with his son’s performance in recent years.
“It’s best for you to have a plan yourself. Remember my words: Endure the trivial matter and focus on the bigger goal. Be decisive when you do things. You’re a king. You should focus on the country’s affairs. You should pay more attention to being kind and prestigious. Know yourself and your enemies well so you can win the battle.”
“Of course,” Sean responded.
“By the way, after you take office, you should marry Princess Annie from the Country K. Country K is very important to us in the international market, and they serve as an important diplomatic support for our country. In addition, her mother is the eldest princess of S Country, and S Country is a big country rich with oil and minerals. Also, take note of her uncle.” The President advised.
Sean lowered his eyes. He put down the wine glass and said, “Dad, have you ever thought about marrying Frederick’s mother?”
The President shook his head and said, “I have to separate the national affairs with my private matters.”
“If my mother asked you to break off your relationship with Nina Chyl, will you do it?” Sean asked again.
“Yes, but your mother is very virtuous and well-educated. I’m lucky to have such a good wife.” When the President mentioned his missus, his face was also filled with tenderness.
Sean chuckled. “I heard a joke a while ago. There was a young couple. The wife asked the husband whom he would save first if she and his mother had fallen into the river at the same time.
The husband retorted with a question, “I went to the brothel with your father, and both of us were arrested. If you only have enough money to bail one of us, who would you bail first?”
“What does that mean?” asked the President.
Sean smiled. “Since you consider yourself lucky, you should treat her better. I’ll make a move first.”
The President did not know what to say.
Sean got up, tidied up his clothes, and glanced at the President. “Soon, you will no longer be the President. You can retire, and you don’t have to be responsible for the country. Will you marry Frederick’s mother then?”
The President shook his head.
Sean did not say anything. He turned around and left.
One day, two days… a month, two months… a year, two years…
Spring passed and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, two years had already passed.
Jasper did not find Stella.
Neither did Frederick.
Jasper managed to catch Bryan Fellow, the fisherman, and the killer. Ryan Lameer was sentenced to death. At the same time, Lionel Lausanne was given a death sentence, as well as a lot of people from Ecocity Building Company.
Wilson Chuck took advantage of his position for his own selfish interests. He amassed 1. 3 billion dollars and was sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment. He was banned from politics for life. Felicia Chuck was sentenced to 13 years of imprisonment and all her assets were seized.
What was strange was that Ryan and Lionel did not mention anything about the massacre in Tavers village. Even if they were sentenced to death, they did not say that it had anything to do with them.
Therefore, apart from State Mayor Cher, Lionel, Ryan, and Wilson, there was one last person who was involved in the massacre. However, no one had any idea who it was.
Jasper felt that the person who had disappeared in the end must be a high-ranking and powerful person. He was so powerful that a malicious person like Ryan did not even dare to mention him.
Would that person be responsible for Stella’s kidnapping?
Unfortunately, that person and Stella seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news at all.
In the first year of Stella’s disappearance, Jasper often woke up from his sleep. Every time he dreamed of Stella, she would beg him for help, and there was blood splattered all over her face. However, when he woke up, he still had to face the reality. There was nothing he could do.
Alcohol and cigarettes became his life necessities. Because of drinking, his stomach bled once and he was admitted to the hospital. He almost didn’t wake up. He was rescued, however subconsciously, he wanted to go with Stella.
After being rescued, he continued drinking and smoking. He was depressed and gloomy. Until one day, a farmer sent a child to him.
He was his and Stella’s child…
