Chapter 87 Do You Believe Me?
“Frederick, do you think you have a high EQ?” Stella Grace asked.
“You loved me too, didn’t you?” Frederick Addington retorted.
“A lot of women have loved you, and many women have been hurt by you. If there is retribution in this world, you will die a horrible death in future.” Stella advised.
She walked past him and walked out of the surveillance room. Following the flow of people, she entered the magnificent banquet hall.
Instead of walking directly to Jasper Milton, she went to the corner of the banquet hall and called him again.
Jasper felt the vibration of his mobile phone. He frowned and said, “Sorry, excuse me.”
He walked out of the banquet hall, went to the private room next door, and answered the phone.
“Stella, what’s wrong? Is there anything urgent? I’ll ask Lieutenant Johnson to deal with it,” He said softly.
“Where are you now? I want to see you,” Stella said softly.
“I have something to attend to here.” He replied.
Stella took a deep breath.
She felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a sword.
And this sword was handed over to Jasper by her own hands.
Jasper had figuratively pulled the sword out of her heart. Not only was the blood gushing out, but the warmth of her heart was dissipating quickly.
All of a sudden, she didn’t want to ask him anything.
Even when she was married, she couldn’t control Frederick. What’s more, she and Jasper were nothing.
If love needed to be cultivated and cared for tenderly for it to grow, even if there was an ample amount of love to begin with, one bitter argument or misunderstanding could eradicate that love completely.
“I heard that you are going to get engaged to Katty. I wish you happiness.” Stella hung up the phone bluntly, and left the banquet hall.
Jasper was shocked, and he pushed opened the doors of the room.
The two almost crashed into each other.
Their eyes met.
His deep feelings collided with her cold gaze..
They looked at each other and were momentarily speechless.
“Jasper.” Katty Davis’s sweet voice sounded. She ran over, grabbed his arm, and smiled proudly at Stella. “I didn’t expect that you would come. Since you are here, I won’t need to call you again. My engagement to Jasper will be held on the ninth, next month. It will be at this hotel. You should come!.”
Stella lowered her eyes and said nothing.
In fact, she was waiting for Jasper’s explanation.
However, one second, two seconds, three seconds passed by…
He did not refute.
She understood everything now. She nodded to Katty curtly, turned around and looked at Jasper one last time. She looked meaningfully into his deep eyes. Then, she nodded meekly, turned around and walked towards the elevator.
“She doesn’t seem to care at all.” Katty looked at Stella’s lonely and arrogant figure turning away, and muttered to herself.
Jasper clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were almost bursting out. His eyes were full of helpless pain, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted.
Stella quickly walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. Her eyes were lowered and filled with tears. When the elevator closed, her tears rolled down her cheeks.
In her mind, she actually cared.
However, what could she do?
She couldn’t make a big fuss. She would lose her dignity.
She could not complain or respond. That would not change the ending, and it would only make her look sadder and more ridiculous.
It was she who fancied him voluntarily.
If she could have kept her heart safe, she would not be so sad.
She didn’t have the right to blame anyone. If she wanted to blame someone, she could only blame herself.
Stella walked out of the hotel in despair, she sat under the shade of a tree. She hugged her knees and cried in pain.
Frederick stood in front of her. He said, “Sometimes, I think you are very stupid.”
Stella didn’t want anyone to disturb her, and she didn’t want to be seen by the person she most hated.
“Get lost.” She made a muffled sound.
Frederick squatted in front of her and took out a fragrant tissue from his pocket. “At least I let you see the truth. Shouldn’t you thank me?”
“Thank you for what?” Stella gritted her teeth. “Thank you for being so mean to me. So as long as someone is kind to me, I will easily fall in love with him!”
“At least I didn’t lie to you. You know better than me how many women I had. To put it bluntly, the longest time they have been with me is only three months. And yet, your status was always solid, wasn’t it?” Frederick looked at her tears, but could not figure out what he was feeling.
He had some sympathy for her, but he knew that she was crying for another man. He felt very uncomfortable, as if he was being cheated on.
“Then I would like to thank you.” Stella stood up, looked down at him, and said coldly, “Get out of my sight. If Jasper were that the sword, you were the executioner. And I deserve it.”
Stella walked forward quickly and waved her hand.
A taxi stopped in front of her.
Stella got in the taxi.
The taxi drove away quickly.
Frederick stood up, with one hand in his pocket.
The lights on the road were on, which stretched his long shadow. He wanted to be with Stella.
When Stella Grace returned home, Eli Wayne was surprised. “Stella, you’re back so soon. Have you eaten yet?”
“No, have you?” Stella asked.
She went into her room and put the two sets of Russian language books into a paper bag.
“I have eaten some noodles. What’s wrong with you? Are you okay?” Eli asked worriedly.
“It’s okay. I’ll go out later and come back after eating. If I come back too late, don’t wait for me.” Stella said lightly.
“You, are you crying?” Eli became more and more worried.
“Eli, if you really treat me as your friend, don’t try to match me up with Jasper. If there is a next time, we won’t be friends anymore.” Stella went out and threw the books into the trash can.
She looked at the books in the trash can and felt that she was quite stupid.
She knew clearly that there was a big gap between her and Jasper Milton, she wanted to try her best to get close to him and learnt many new things for him. She was willing to do it all for him.
Her obsession, her love, and her efforts had not been appreciated sincerely by a man.
Since she was to be hurt no matter what she did, it was better not to do anything. She would live a more relaxed and happy life.
Stella turned her face away. She was not going to take the books back. She walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor. She then walked out of the residential complex and entered the little restaurant close to the complex.
She ordered some dishes. Because of the despair in her heart, she felt an incessant pain. She ordered some liquor.
After drinking half a bottle, she felt dizzy and her vision was blurred.
It was said that wine could relieve a thousand sorrows. That was a lie.
Her heart was still in pain, and her stomach was churning because of the alcohol.
She would finish the rest of the alcohol, vomit it all out, and sleep it off. Tomorrow would be a brand new day.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Suddenly, Jasper appeared. He took away the glass in her hand, raised it to his mouth and downed it at one go.
He moved the chair and sat opposite her.
Stella looked at him, and there were many layers of shadows on him, just like a kaleidoscope.
She smiled and pointed at him. “Jasper.” She could only utter one word meekly.
Jasper held her fingers, and his eyes were full of pain. He frowned and asked, “Stella, do you still believe in me?”
