Stella’s heart skipped a beat. This meant that no matter where she went or what she did, he would have a rough idea.
It was impossible for her to hide anything from him. No wonder… She always felt that Jasper knew a lot.
Jasper Milton looked at her and continued, “I bought the God’s Eyes for you. I didn’t believe that you were dead, so I thought, as long as you appear in A Country, I would be able to find you immediately. However, I didn’t have the money, so I had to take over the family business.”
Stella Grace lowered her eyes, her heart was bittersweet.
She felt sweet for all that Jasper had done for her. The bitter part was because she felt useless that she could not protect him.
She reached out and hugged Jasper. She took a few deep breaths and kept the smell of Jasper forever in her mind.
Jasper slightly raised the corners of his lips and put his arms around her shoulders, “Are you feeling hungry?”
“It’s strange. I ate so much yesterday, but now I feel even hungrier than usual,” Stella said with a smile.
“Eat more. It’s good to put on some weight,” He held her in his arms and walked away.
“Okay,” Stella replied.
They went to the restaurant together and they had a breakfast buffet.
“Our dog seems to be really pitiful. We are having a feast here and it doesn’t even have breakfast,” Stella said apologetically.
“I’ll send someone to clean up the house, take care of it, and buy the groceries. You don’t have to worry about it,” Jasper suggested.
“As usual, you think more thoroughly than I do,” Stella poured the milk into the cup while Jasper stood next to her.
“Jasper, what are you going to do next? After all, Hale should be summoned to court soon,” Stella asked tentatively.
Jasper also poured himself a cup of milk. “I have sent someone to S Country. First of all, I have to confirm the authenticity of this matter and get the relevant evidence. Otherwise, once Hale is in court, no one will believe in what she says. She might even put herself in danger. Since she is not a spy, I must ensure her safety.”
“Even if you go to S Country to investigate this matter, you won’t know who is behind this, right? What are you going to do about this then?” Stella was worried.
“They are very cautious. Even though I suspect them, I couldn’t find any clues. I could only wait for an opportunity,” Jasper said in a low voice.
She didn’t like to wait, because she knew that he would be in danger before the opportunity comes.
However, she didn’t say anything. Besides, she would just be giving Jasper extra pressure.
“I think the omelet here is good. I’ll get us some.” Stella changed the topic and took a plate. She took the omelet, bread, and some salad. She then found an empty seat to sit down.
Jasper carried two plates, one filled with chicken salad and the other with a sandwich.
“The chicken salad is good,” He put the plate in front of him.
“After this, you’ll go to work and I’ll go home. Come back at night. I’ll make you something delicious,” Stella said with a smile.
“Okay,” Jasper took a bite of the sandwich.
Stella looked at him and thought for a moment. Then, she asked tentatively, “Jasper, who else owns the God’s Eyes of A Country apart from you?”
“I don’t know, but it’s expensive. Ordinary people wouldn’t buy it,” Jasper explained.
“Do you think that Frederick has it too? I feel like I keep running into him. I don’t think that it’s a mere coincidence,” Stella guessed.
Jasper paused, “Maybe he does have it. After all, he has a lot of money. Besides, he has been looking for you all this time. I’ll have to check if he has it.”
“If so, wouldn’t he know our address?” Stella was worried.
“It’s impossible. First, the God’s Eyes won’t work where there are no surveillance cameras. Secondly, I’m a VIP user, so I could block off certain routes. He won’t find out where we live.
Unless he sent someone to follow us. However, I have the Dark Shadow protecting me. I would know if he followed us. He definitely knows that I would find out, so he wouldn’t do such a useless thing,” Jasper explained.
“The people from the Dark Shadow used to belong to the special forces military region, right? Can you mobilize them now?” Stella asked doubtfully.
“They used to belong to me. After I left, apart from Anthony whom I had arranged to be the chief of the special forces military region, the others all left with me. I could still afford to continue employing them,” Jasper explained.
Stella understood. No wonder she felt that Sean Yaleman was still afraid of him. When she thought of Sean, she thought of Eli Wayne. She wondered how Eli was doing right now.
She continued eating.
“Later, I’ll ask someone to send you back,” Jasper said in a low voice.
Stella nodded.
She followed Jasper to the company after breakfast. Elvis Zachary came over to send her back and said with a smile, “You and Director Milton are really together. Hahaha, I always thought that Director Milton treated you differently.”
Stella did not deny it. Since Jasper had asked Elvis to take her back, she figured that Jasper must have trusted him.
She observed the surveillance cameras on the road carefully. She remembered where there were no surveillance cameras once they entered the junction leading to Everlasting Road.
However, even without the surveillance cameras, she had to shake off the Dark Shadow that was following her.
“Elvis, do you know that the Dark Shadow who is protecting me?” Stella asked directly.
“Yes, we used to be in the same team,” Elvis said straightforwardly.
Stella smiled. It turned out that Elvis used to be a member of the Dark Shadow.
“Is he following us now?” Stella continued to ask.
“Not now, because I’m here,” Elvis explained.
“How did you two hand over? I mean, are you sure that I am protected at all times?”
“There’s no problem with that. We have the most tacit understanding.”
“How so?” Stella asked doubtfully.
Elvis saw that Stella was worried and he explained patiently, “We have the God’s Eyes. There will be four people who will stay in the monitoring room. Two of them were in the hotel yesterday, and then they followed you to the company. When I am here, the two who were on guard last night had gone back to take a rest.
After sending you home, there are three more people from the Dark Shadow in your house who will protect you all the time.”
“Three? What if a few hundred people came to attack us?”
“That will be too big to go unnoticed. We would have already monitored their movement once they set out. There are quite a lot of Dark Shadows out and about. Don’t worry, Director Milton will definitely protect you,” Elvis said confidently.
“Then, if I ask you to let me out of the car now, will there be someone to protect me?”
“Within ten minutes, there will be people in place. During this period, I will protect you,” Elvis said with a smile.
She understood that Jasper was protecting her against all harm. At the same time, she had no freedom to move at all.
