Chapter 773 You Must Be Happy
Yohan spilled a lot of information. He explained clearly each case that he was involved in.
Their leader’s name was Raison. He used to be a banker, but then he founded the Whiterobe Sect because he was bullied, and he formed an evil force to bully others.
The owner of the ship was a man called Peter, who was Raison’s first follower.
Stella walked out of the office.
“Stella, you’re awesome. You found out who the mastermind is so quickly. With the information we have now, we can definitely fight back,” Sheldon praised.
“Not necessarily. Peter and Raison might not even be the masterminds. They don’t have that much financial ability to buy a ship. There are even more powerful forces behind them. It’s just that this force isn’t something that anyone else knows about,” Stella walked in the direction of the monitoring room.
“What should we do then?” Sheldon became pessimistic again.
“What else could we do? We could at least disintegrate the Whiterobe Sect completely. If Raison isn’t willing to confess who the true mastermind is, then he’s going to take the blame. We could just take it one step at a time,” Stella said. She smiled and pushed the door to the monitoring room open.
“Stella, you’re amazing. You solved the problem so quickly,” Ray praised.
“It’s a hard problem that might not be able to be solved,” Stella said meaningfully. She looked at Jasper and said, “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at home resting? It won’t be good if the injuries on your body are infected or split open.”
Jasper looked at her deeply and did not answer her question. “Are you going back?”
Stella nodded and looked at the time. It was already 11 p. m.
She said to Sheldon, “I’m heading back first. Release the twenty people before midnight.”
“Okay, I understand,” Sheldon replied.
Stella looked at Jasper and said, “Let’s go.”
“Sure,” Jasper walked out.
The two of them walked to the road together and did not speak. The streetlights gradually stretched their figures into shadows. Just like that, they walked in silence.
After a while, Stella took a deep breath and looked at Jasper. “I bought a doghouse for Gracie. Did you see it?”
“Yes. Allen said that you’re dating him,” Jasper said in a low voice.
“Yeah,” Stella replied.
A crack appeared in Jasper’s eyes. He clenched his fists, and his breathing became a little cold. He stopped and looked at her.
Stella turned to look at him. “What’s wrong?”
Jasper looked at her faintly, as though he wanted to try his best to remember her face. At that moment, a lot of memories flowed through his mind.
He had once lost his memory and forgotten all about her. He could now understand what she felt back then. Desperation, sorrow, and hurt, but he couldn’t speak of them. At that very moment, he could only nibble away the pain in his heart until it swallowed him up.
When she was with him, she had more happy moments than sad moments, but she had more dangerous moments than safe moments too. She was wasting her time and her youth, constantly enduring loneliness when she was with him.
Right now, she had completely forgotten about him and she could finally start a new life. She was the target of everyone’s admiration. She could finally enjoy honor, life, and love with Allen. She deserved to be happy.
Jasper was jealous, so jealous that he was about to go crazy. However, he loved her still, and he wished for her to be happy.
If she could be happy, then he shouldn’t pry into her life.
Mist gradually blurred his vision. It was heavy and it seemed to slowly disappear into his eyes.
Stella looked at his eyes and felt a pulse of slight pain in her heart. “I used to know you, right?”
“Stella, I wish for your happiness. I sincerely hope that you will be happy,” Jasper said in a low voice.
She should’ve smiled after hearing that, but instead, her heart ached even more, as though it was torn apart, and blood was gushing out from it.
A taxi stopped in front of them.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Jasper opened the door of the back seat.
Stella settled herself in the taxi.
Jasper sat in the passenger seat, looked to the front, and said in a deep voice, “I will stay at your place for one day, and I will move out tomorrow. There will be someone around to take care of me, so don’t worry.”
Stella did not speak. Her heart was still aching. It hurt so much that it became sore, as though her heart had been poisoned. She said, “You don’t have to move out in such a hurry.”
“You and Allen are already in a relationship. It’s not right for me to stay at your place. It’s just a minor injury, and it’ll be fine after a few days. Besides, Allen has serious asthma, so it’s not suitable for Gracie to stay there. You don’t have to feel guilty about my injuries. If it weren’t for me jumping into the sea to meddle in other people’s business, I wouldn’t have attracted the attention of the Whiterobe Sect. It was all because of me, and it has nothing to do with you guys. I’m sorry to have spoiled your pleasure when you guys came out to have fun,” Jasper said.
Stella’s eyes became red. She felt sad, very sad, as though someone was hiding in her heart and crying.
“You haven’t answered me. Did I know you from before?” Stella continued to ask.
“Yes, but since you have already forgotten about me, perhaps, this was what you wanted to forget in the first place. You don’t have to force yourself to remember it,” Jasper said deeply. His eyes were as deep as the vast ocean, filled with sadness and despair.
She felt an urge to cry, but she knew that it wasn’t appropriate for her to do that.
Hence, she did not speak again and turned her eyes out the window. She arrived at her villa soon after.
Since Allen was there, she was afraid that he might be allergic to scented candles. Hence, she did not light a scented candle like she usually would as part of her routine. She didn’t play any music either as it was already late. She went straight to the bathroom and started to fill the bathtub. She stood there and listened to the sound of water flowing. Her heart was still aching.
She took off her clothes and sank into the bathtub. She lay inside, closed her eyes, and recalled what Jasper had said. “Since you have already forgotten about me, perhaps, this was what you wanted to forget in the first place. You don’t have to force yourself to remember it.”
She sighed and made a phone call, “Micheal, I’m not feeling well.”
“What’s wrong?” Micheal asked with concern.
“I met someone. He said that I knew him from before, but when I saw him, I could only feel sorrow,” Stella explained.
“Jasper?” Micheal blurted out.
Stella was stunned for a moment. She remembered that Allen had said before that Black’s name was Jasper.
It seemed that they all knew Jasper.
“What kind of relationship did I have with Jasper?” Stella asked.
“Stella, are you sure you want to know? You hypnotized yourself because you wanted to forget him. Are you sure that you want to remember him?” Micheal asked in a low voice.
Stella shuddered. She did not dare to do so, but she felt extremely sad when she thought of that name. That sadness was overwhelming her and it felt as though it was about to drown her.
She had warned herself not to pry into her own memories before hypnotizing herself,
She was afraid that she would be unable to bear it if her memories returned. She was worried that she might feel that it was better to die than to live if she were to remember everything.
“No, I don’t want to know,” Stella made a prompt decision.
Micheal sighed. “You once said that you want to forget the past and start a happy life again. What you should do now is to not think about the past, but strive to pursue a happy life.”
“Yes, I’ve already promised to date Allen,” Stella said in a low voice.
Micheal was speechless.
“I knew that it would turn out like this. He has always been looking after you. If it isn’t out of love, then I don’t know what it would be. He is a good person. You will be happy with him,” Micheal said.
