Stella Grace gave a call to Frederick Addington.
However, Frederick declined the call.
She held her mobile phone, seemingly lost in thought. The phone’s screen soon lit up with a text notification.
She realized that it was from Frederick, so she read the text immediately.
“I’m busy now, I will call you back in a minute.”
“Natalie, you haven’t eaten anything for a few days. I’m going to prepare some food for you. Please take care of yourself,” Suzi Shine said worriedly.
Stella looked at Suzi, “Mom, I haven’t eaten anything for the past few days, so I won’t be able to eat much.”
“Okay, I’ll cook a light meal for you now,” Suzi then turned around.
“Mom, please do not tell anyone that Jasper is still alive, not even Auntie Wood,” Stella reminded her once again, worried.
Suzi nodded, “I know.”
Stella lifted the quilt, then took her clothes and cell phone. She was afraid that she would miss a phone call from Frederick when she was in the shower.
She went to take a shower and brushed her teeth. Then, she came out of the bathroom.
Suzi had already prepared a bowl of chicken soup, “Don’t forget to dry your hair. With the current weather, you will get a headache if you don’t dry your hair.”
“Alright. Thank you, Mom,” Stella answered. Her face was dry, so she used some lotion on it.
Suzi then handed the hairdryer to Stella.
Stella dried her hair and had the soup.
However, she couldn’t eat much. She glanced at her phone and noticed that Frederick had yet to call her.
She forced herself to finish the food. Now that Jasper was still alive, she must take good care of herself.
After eating, she stood by the window and waited for more than an hour. Her cell phone finally rang.
Stella picked it up immediately, “Hello.”
“Stella, did you call me to ask about the Dark Shadow?” Frederick could already guess it.
“Yes,” Stella did not deny it.
“I could send you the address of the place that he is being locked up at right now. However, I don’t think you should rescue him for the time being. Christian is extremely furious. He has set up dangerous traps, waiting for your people to fall into them,” Frederick suggested.
“Is his life in danger?” That was Stella’s main concern.
“Sometimes, being alive is more miserable than death at times. Christian tortured him to bits every day. I heard from the people there that he would scream out in agony every other hour because of immense pain,” Frederick explained sadly.
Although Stella had never seen Eugene before, her heart ached when she heard what Frederick said.
This man, who had sacrificed himself for Jasper, was righteous, brave, tough, passionate, but…
Why couldn’t a good man like him just have a good life?
“I know what to do. Send me his address,” Stella replied coldly.
“Stella, it’s very dangerous to fight against Christian,” Frederick reminded her again.
“I’ve never been afraid of danger. If you’re willing to help me, then send the address to me,” Stella said in distress.
“Okay,” Frederick sent the address to her immediately.
Stella then called Anthony Levis.
He answered right away, indicating that he had been waiting for her call.
“Anthony, lodge a report saying that the Dark Shadow’s men are missing. Tell them that you suspect that they are with Christian. Also, remember to mention that Jasper was killed by Christian,” Stella instructed.
“Is that okay?” Anthony was worried.
“Eugene is with Christian, but Christian has been abusing his authority. I will make sure the public knows about it and force him to release Eugene. No matter where he goes, Eugene would be better off than being locked up at Christian’s,” Stella’s voice was a little choked.
“Okay, I’ll do what you say.”
“Please gather the following and email them to me. The footage of the plane explosion that was captured by the God’s Eyes, Jasper’s assassination, his death, and every single information that you have about Christian. My email address is the same as my phone number,” Stella remarked coldly.
…
When Anthony was accomplishing the task, Stella stayed in her room and wrote about Jasper’s great achievements, Milton Corp, his donations, the establishment of an orphanage, as well as all the accusations that Christian had made against him. She also attached some pictures to all the timelines. She did not express her own thoughts on the issues, for she believed the public would be able to make their own speculations from their imagination without having her point out everything.
The manuscript had not been finished yet. There was an important content that needed Anthony’s input.
She gave Sean a ring.
He rejected the call.
She contacted the boss of Student’s Giggles and asked straightforwardly, “How much does your application cost?”
“What?”
“Give me a price,” Stella stated briefly, “Or, do you prefer negotiating in person? The price that I could give you is definitely higher than the market price.”
“Who are you?”
“Jasper Milton’s wife, Stella Grace. Jasper is the heir of Milton Corp.”
“Oh, isn’t he the youngest general who passed away a few days ago?”
“Yes, he was murdered. I want to denounce those who murdered him,” Stella did not beat around the bush.
“Alright. I had always admired him. I will definitely help you with this. Don’t worry about the price. I’m willing to let you use it for free,” the boss said generously.
“There are some people you couldn’t afford to offend. It’s safest for you if you sell your application. If you still want it, I could return it to you after everything is settled. We could renegotiate the price again then, but I guarantee you that it would definitely not exceed my offer,” Stella promised.
“Okay, I understand. Well, let’s speak in person then. I’m in A City as well. Shall we meet at Skyange Cafe in Suntec International Inc? I’ll bring a lawyer with the relevant documents.”
“I will bring my lawyer as well. Let’s meet in two hours.”
Stella’s cell phone rang, She picked it up when she saw that it was from Sean Yaleman.
“I know why you made this call. Christian is acting rather capriciously these days and no one dares to provoke him,” Sean spoke in a deep voice.
“He gets rather overbearing nowadays. Everyone is still trying their best to appease him. After all, it is extremely unlikely for him to become President in the future. At most, he could only maintain his current position.
But, do you think that he will let you go two years later?
You and Christian have known each other for so many years. You should know what kind of person he is. You could help me to suppress Christian, and maybe he won’t have the chance to run for President after two years. It’s either that or you could wait for your fall after two years,” Stella’s words were very strong.
Sean was silent for a moment. Then, he lowered his voice and inquired, “What are you planning to do?”
“Those who have the support of the people will have the power to conquer the world.
Jasper’s great achievements in the army should be made known to the public. Every good deed that he had done the past two years must be made public too. I will guide the direction of public opinion.
No matter how domineering Christian is, he would soon lose the support of the people. Even if he becomes the President, his position would be unstable too. He would not dare to act rashly against you. Besides, without the support of the people, would he even be able to become the President?
Sean, you’re not a narrow-minded person. You’re better at weighing the pros and cons than me. I believe that you would not make the wrong choice. Even if you pretend to be weak, Christian still wouldn’t let you go. He is far too cautious to do that. I am sure that you understand.”
