Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella’s mind was in a complete mess. She shut her eyes, worrying that they could no longer hide the fact that Eli was Sean’s mistress. If that happens, then Eli would become the target of all the netizen’s hate comments, and she’d definitely be the first to suffer.

All of a sudden, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Sean, she quickly picked up and asked anxiously, “How could this happen?”

“Stella, tell me who’s more important to you, Bellamy or Eli?” Sean said seriously.

“What do you mean?” Stella stood up from her seat, a bad feeling brewing inside her heart.

“Bellamy is behind all of this. The video was taken by Rebecca’s servant, Loraine. She’s working for Bellamy.”

Stella was silent as she tried to recall everything.

She still didn’t quite believe it.

Bellamy had clearly said that he would let her decide if he would run for the next Presidential elections. “Do you have any evidence?”

“Loraine was a spy who had been exiled, but she was saved by Bellamy. From the angle of the video as well as the surveillance footage, it’s clear that it was Loraine who took the video.

I think his goal is to become the next President. Stella, you have to trust me, he isn’t Jasper. His evil side has never disappeared.

He appeared by your side and pretended to be Jasper not to prevent you from taking your own life, but because he wanted to gain Jasper’s authority. And now, he has succeeded.

Anthony and the rest who were under Jasper before have now become his subordinates,” Sean told Stella everything that he had found out today.

Stella felt as though her brain had been struck by lightning. Her head felt numb and her mind was completely blank. She did not know what to say.

“Are you still there?” Sean asked.

Stella took a deep breath. “Do you have any measures to salvage the situation?”

“He’s quite ruthless. He has already cut off all my backup plans.

Now, I can’t explain to M Country, the Harington family, the Griswell family, or the citizens.

Moreover, if I had guessed correctly, the King of M Country will listen to the McCarthy family’s provocation to attack me in order to protect himself.

The Harington family will also turn against me to protect themselves. They’ll make me give up Eli and she’ll become the public’s target of attacks,” Sean’s voice trailed off, and both he and Stella remained silent.

Stella was starting to feel the weight of the situation.

She had heard a parable before. There was once a king who loved his mistress very much. After a war, all his knights and his people put the blame on the mistress, asking the king to punish her.

No matter how much the king loved his mistress, he could only watch as she was hung at the gallows.

At the end of the day, Sean couldn’t do anything.

“Are you sure that there’s no solution to this? How about fighting back? I could back you up with my website, maybe we could turn things around,” Stella quickly came up with a solution.

“The videos have already been released. It’s going to be hard to turn things around.”

“What about negotiating with the Griswell family then? There is always a glimmer of hope, isn’t there?”

“The Griswell family has already turned to the McCarthy family. They’ll just hop onto the winning side,” Sean started to sound very dismayed.

“Listen, the most I could do now is to control all this for another two or three months, but I don’t see this situation becoming any better.

Eli will die if she were to continue staying by my side. Even if she stays alive, I wouldn’t want her to suffer with me for the rest of her life. Her life will always be on the line.

Therefore, I need you to send her away quietly. If possible, I want you to keep her there forever.

Our child is now in D country and I’ll send him to her.

The company in X Country is under her name. I’ll find a way to transfer the money over,” Sean said with reddened eyes.

When he could give her happiness, he tried his best to keep her by his side.

He once gave her his word that he would never let her go even if he got captured.

But now, he was on the verge of losing everything and he didn’t want to drag her along on this hell ride. Instead, he needed to think of a way to guarantee her future.

Stella’s eyes were red. “I’m sorry.”

“This isn’t your fault. You didn’t do anything, and neither were you aware of what was going on. I was just too careless. I’m sorry to trouble you. I guess I’ll have to leave it to you to take care of Eli from now on,” Sean said as he choked his tears back. “I still have some matters to attend to. Goodbye.”

Sean then hung up.

Stella stood still, completely shocked. Her heart ached and her mood dampened. It felt as though it was raining heavily on a cloudy day.

All along she thought that Eli would one day find her happiness. How could this happen all of a sudden? It was as though lightning had struck on a sunny day. Stella couldn’t bear such abruptness. She sat on the bed, gasping for air. She couldn’t believe what was happening, and she was extremely upset that the person who had hurt her friend was none other than the brother of her most beloved!

Unable to control her emotions, she swept all the papers on the table onto the ground in rage.

Elvis knew that Stella was sad, so he picked up all the papers on the ground silently and put them back on the table.

Stella glanced at the papers on the desk, then called Anthony.

Anthony picked up her call.

“Did Bellamy contact you?” Stella asked directly.

“He did. He analyzed the situation with me, then told me about his past, ideals, and ambitions. I thought that they were very close to my ideals, so I was willing to support him to become the next President. I’m sure the Chief, who’s up there right now, would agree with me,” Anthony said.

“Is that so?” Stella’s eyes turned red. “So you’ve decided to betray Jasper?”

“This is not betrayal, but it was the Chief’s wish for someone to carry his legacy.”

“Becoming the President was never Jasper’s dream,” Stella raised her voice.

“But it is mine and I wish to help the Chief become the next President. After talking to Bellamy, I think that he would do a better job than the Chief. I’m sorry, Stella, I’ve made up my mind. If you could understand my reasons, then that’s good, but if you couldn’t, then so be it.”

“So, is the reason you’ve been helping me all this while because you thought Bellamy was Jasper, and that you’ve been wanting to help him to become the next President? It’s not because you’ve been trying to take care of the child he left behind, is it?” Stella asked in reply.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“We’re soldiers. We have our own glory and missions, and we shouldn’t be compassionate or emotional. All you want is a simple, peaceful life. But in my eyes, that’s just being decadent and complacent. What I want is to create a rich and powerful country.”

“A rich and powerful country? Sure, that sounds nice, but all you’re trying to do is satisfy that greedy ego of yours. Let’s be real, you’re the same as Christian. All you seek for is the President’s powers and authority,” Stella’s words were as sharp as knives.

“Since you don’t get it, then there’s no point in me explaining further. Please don’t call me anymore,” Anthony hung up firmly.

Stella smashed her phone onto the ground in anger.

What friendship?! What passion?!

When they were fighting against Christian and Quinn, all of them followed her lead.

Only now did she realize that they were only using her faith in Jasper to achieve their true goal.

They were the true boss of the whole game!
