Chapter 711 A Storm
Stella took a piece of grilled fish for Eli and placed it on her plate.
“Mmm…” Eli moaned as she took a bite. “I think it tastes better than the one we had at the seafood restaurant.”
“The fishes there are probably farm-raised while these are wild-caught. They’ve probably been swimming in the ocean for a few years,” Stella explained.
“I want to come here and have lots of fish for the rest of my life, and nobody can stop me,” Eli proceeded to grab another piece of grilled fish onto her plate.
“Sure,” Stella replied gently.
Suzi looked at Eli and her eyes dimmed slightly. “I thought of Lynette.”
“I’m sure that she’ll be fine, she just needs time to recover. You could bring her back here if her condition permits. She’s probably lonely in the hospital too,” Stella said.
“I’ll drop by the hospital tomorrow to visit her, then I’ll ask the doctor if she could be discharged. Even if anything happens, it’d be better if she’s at home,” Suzi said.
Stella nodded.
They enjoyed the meal very much.
Rubbing her now bloated tummy, Eli asked Elvis, “Do you know how to play poker? Let’s play cards later. Stella and I will be a team, and you and Chief could be another team. Shall we bet a hundred dollars?”
“I’m not very good at it, I’m afraid that I’ll drag the Chief down,” Elvis said as he turned to look at Bellamy.
“It’s fine. It’s not as though we do this often. I’ll pay for each round we lose,” Bellamy said with a smile.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Elvis replied happily, “Long live the Chief.”
“I have a hunch that I’ll earn a lot of money today,” Eli said happily.
They soon started the game. Suzi poured a cup of water for each of them, then prepared various snacks for them such as fruits, peanuts, pistachios, and candies.
All of a sudden, Eli felt as though they were celebrating a festivity. “Thank you, Auntie.”
Suzi too felt that Eli was a bubbly person and her presence had lightened all of their moods. “You should drop by more often.”
“I will, Auntie.”
The four of them were having a good time playing cards. It was obvious that Bellamy was going easy on them. Eli was bursting into constant fits of laughter and Stella was also enjoying herself.
Seeing that Stella was in a good mood, Bellamy was also infected by her laughter.
They kept playing until 10 p. m.
All of a sudden, Stella’s phone rang. She looked at Eli in surprise when she saw that it was a call from Sean.
Why didn’t Sean call Eli? Why was he calling her instead?
She answered the call in confusion.
“Stella, make sure that Eli doesn’t come home for the next few days. Also, I need you to keep her safe,” Sean said seriously.
Stella’s eyes swept across the table as everyone was looking at her. “I’m sorry, I’ll take this call outside.”
She got up and walked into the library. She then asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“Natasha’s brother dropped by today, and he wasn’t very pleased. I’m afraid he might harm Eli. He’s going to leave in a few days, so I’ll only let Eli come back after that,” Sean said.
“When… are you planning to marry Eli?” Stella asked doubtfully.
“Once Natasha’s brother leaves, I will talk to Yvonne and end our relationship as soon as possible. If everything goes smoothly, I will divorce her by the next month and marry Eli within the next half a year,” Sean said, determination evident in his voice.
“I see. Then, you take care too.”
“Okay.”
Stella hung up and returned to the table. Bellamy looked at his phone and noticed the time. “It’s getting late. You’re pregnant, so you should get some rest.”
“Is it alright if I sleep with Stella tonight? Could you lend Stella to me for the time being?” Eli suggested to Bellamy with a smile.
Bellamy nodded and said, “Don’t make so much noise when she’s asleep. She’s a light sleeper.”
Eli saluted, “Yes, Chief. Stella, which room are you staying in?”
Stella looked at Bellamy.
“I’ll sleep in the library today,” Bellamy informed her.
“Thank you,” Stella said softly and returned to her room with Eli.
Bellamy walked into the library and sent a text message, asking, “How did it go?”
“That woman is very similar to the real Natasha. She could answer many of my questions, plus her brother didn’t find anything weird about her. She’s a very good imposter. What should our next step be, Mr. Chuck?” Loraine replied.
“Have you found out where the real Natasha is being held at?” Bellamy asked coldly.
“We’ve located her, but Yvonne’s men are guarding the place closely. It’s going to be tough to get her out.”
“I contacted Anthony today and he’s willing to work with us. I’ve also talked to Steven’s former subordinates and they’re also willing to cooperate with us. For now, the only obstacle we have is Sean,” Bellamy said in a low voice. He narrowed his eyes and there was a flash of malice in them.
“Mr. Chuck, please give your order. You saved my life, now my family needs your help again. I’ll do my best to follow your instructions,” Loraine said obediently.
“Very well then. You can rest assured that you’d be able to enjoy the rest of your life after this matter is done and over with. Your family will also return to your side. Show Natasha’s brother the video, then tell him where they’re locking her up. Leave the rest to me.”
“Alright, Mr. Chuck.”
…
Everything was calm in the Milton residence. The people in there enjoyed a good night’s rest and woke up naturally the next day.
Meanwhile, at the President’s Mansion, a storm was brewing.
Eli was still asleep when Stella woke up the next morning.
She got up cautiously and went to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and opened the door. She saw Elvis standing there, as though he had been waiting for a long time. He looked very worried.
“What’s wrong?” Stella asked in confusion.
“Mrs. Milton, you need to go on the Internet as soon as possible!” Elvis prompted.
Stella went to the library and turned on the computer.
There were two videos on the computer screen.
The first one showed Yvonne Harington forcing Natasha Griswell into the pit of snakes and their entire conversation was also recorded clearly.
The other one showed a gun battle. Someone had rescued Natasha, who was barely alive, from the basement. Then, the camera turned to the corner and showed another Natasha charging and tackling a man to the ground.
“What is this?” Stella was shocked.
“It looks like someone is trying to revolt against the President and his wife. Before this, there was a girl who had been brought from M Country by Mrs. President. Since she couldn’t bear children, she had promised this girl that if she could successfully bore a child for the President within the next four years, then the child would be recognized as the President’s, and Mrs. President would let her be the President’s mistress,” Elvis informed.
Stella frowned and looked at the comments below the videos. It was a disaster and everyone was spewing hate towards Sean and Yvonne.
“However, it is rumored that the President already has a mistress, and he even had a child with that woman. When Natasha found out about this matter, she got extremely mad. She tried to hurt his mistress, so Yvonne sent her to the snake pit and locked her there. The Natasha who had been hanging around Yvonne turned out to be an imposter. The man who was tackled to the ground earlier was probably Natasha’s brother,” Elvis continued to explain.
Stella called Sean hastily as she tried to process all this information in her brain.
Sean rejected her call.
“Mrs. Milton, this is a very serious matter. After this news gets out, the Griswell family will not let the President go. The Harington family will also suffer, and M Country will not protect the Harington family. After all, the McCarthy family has been eyeing the Harington family for a long time. I’m afraid that it will be difficult for the President to turn the tables this time,” Elvis said worriedly.
