Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“The whelks that will be served in a bit are also very delicious. They are processed, cleaned, and cut into pieces,” Stella introduced.

“By the way, did you get any clues from the kid this time?” Ray was still thinking about the case.

“I’m deducing that Uncle Joker is the murderer. Everything should come in the clear after we have him arrested,” Stella said.

“If this case is solved, you’ll take the most credit as we basically did nothing,” Ray said in disappointment.

“You can’t say that. We had some luck this time as we happened to get some useful information. There will also be times where we won’t get anything. When that time comes, we will need to come together as a team to solve the case,” Stella didn’t take credit for any success and comforted them instead.

“You truly are an open-minded person,” Ray said as he raised his glass towards Stella.

“Let’s work hard together,” Stella too raised her glass.

It was 9. 30 p. m. when they left Barbara Seafood Restaurant.

Stella didn’t want to drive after drinking, so she stood at a curb to hail for a taxi.

Several punks walked past her, and they whistled and catcalled at her.

Stella did not like those hooligans and she pretended that she didn’t see them. She quickly got into a taxi that stopped in front of her.

The driver did not ask where Stella was heading to and the doors were immediately locked.

Her heart jolted, and she looked at the driver warily.

The driver was wearing a mask and a cap.

There were punks harassing her outside. She wanted to get away quickly and for a moment there, she forgot about the prevalent danger.

She sent a text message on her current location calmly, placed the phone in her pocket, and took out the self-defense baton from her bag.

The driver glanced at Stella from the rearview mirror in surprise. Stella was laying back with her eyes closed.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Aren’t you afraid?” The driver asked in confusion.

Stella opened her eyes and looked at the driver, “You probably know who I am. If I die, it will definitely be an uproar, and you wouldn’t be able to run away from your crimes. The days of you living in fear of getting caught would be worse than death itself.”

“I won’t kill you. I just want money,” The driver said bluntly.

“Do you want to steal or borrow it from me?” Stella asked.

The driver pulled over at the roadside all of a sudden and turned back to look at Stella. “What do you mean by borrowing?”

“I’ll lend you the money, and you may return it to me when you’re doing better. You wouldn’t need to be afraid of getting caught too. Isn’t that a win-win situation?” Stella said lightly.

The man couldn’t believe it. He asked, “Are you sure that you’re willing to lend money to me?”

Stella smiled, “You’re working in the finance field, aren’t you? Your family member must have been hospitalized, so you’re in need of money. You’re worried about your family, and that distraction led to you making a mistake at work, and you got fired because of it. You heard from a friend that I’m rich, and he told you to pretend to be a taxi driver to wait at the entrance, and you went for it.”

The man was shocked, “How did you know?”

“Your clothes, habits, and the things you carry on the car, as well as the odor, made me guess that you were waiting for Alissa. She was the one who told you to do so, am I right? When she left, I saw her glancing at the road deliberately and put on a meaningful smile, as though she was going to enjoy a good show. However, for some reason, she didn’t walk towards the road,” Stella said abruptly.

The man broke down, “My father needs 100, 000 dollars for surgery. I don’t have a single penny on me right now.”

He then realized that something was off. In a blink of an eye, his car was surrounded by police officers. He looked around in dismay, panic flashing across his eyes as he looked at Stella in disbelief.

“If you said that you wanted to steal from me, you will be arrested today, and your father’s life will be in danger too. Fortunately, you wanted to just borrow it. Provide your testimony to the police and the money will be transferred by 8 a. m. tomorrow. However, you need to go down to the police station to confess first,” Stella said lightly.

“Thank you,” The man said gratefully.

Stella smiled faintly.

Stella got out of the car and said to Sheldon, “I’m afraid that I will have to trouble you. He had the intention to kidnap me but it didn’t happen. There is no need for detention. However, someone has instigated him to do so, so I will need your help to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

“Okay,” Sheldon answered and immediately went to deal with it.

Stella then hailed a taxi back home again. Once she was home, as per her routine, she turned on the air conditioner, played some music, lit a scented candle, and went to the bathroom to fill the bathtub.

Since she had done some yoga during the day, all that was left to do was cleaning the house. After the bathtub was filled, she went for a bath and closed her eyes.

A scene of her getting kidnapped flashed across her mind, and she even imagined herself falling off the car.

Stella opened her eyes, feeling a little restless.

Her cell phone rang all of a sudden. She peeked at the screen and saw that it was Micheal, so she answered it immediately, “Yes, Micheal?”

“I’ve seen your speech. It’s great. You are the role model of our psychology circle,” Micheal praised.

“Actually, it’s not that impressive. It’s the media’s marketing effect. Micheal, I’ve been remembering some memories from the past. You said before that I had deliberately erased some of my memories. I’m worried that it didn’t succeed.”

“It’s normal to have flashbacks. Our brain processes lots of information daily and they are intertwined with each other. There will be instances where you will experience flashbacks of these interlinked scenes. Don’t put too much thought into it and just live your life normally, alright? And, you should find a handsome guy to marry. I heard that Allen is still waiting for you. Are you considering him at all?” Micheal was starting to get gossipy.

Stella thought of Allen’s refined looks and said, “He deserves someone better, and I don’t want to hurt him. There’s someone who caught my attention recently and he makes me feel all weird.”

“Who is it?”

“His name is Black, the security minister of a certain bureau. He wears a necklace, and it seems to have my photo in it,” Stella said with a smile, feeling a little warmth in her heart.

“Do you know him?” Micheal asked.

“I don’t think that I know him. I only had a look at his side profile. The person in his necklace may not be me. It’s entirely possible that I’ve mistaken it. However, it does seem that our fates aren’t too bad. I’ll meet him tomorrow to settle some matters,” Stella explained.

“Are you interested in him?”

“Not really,” Stella drew circles on the water subconsciously, “It just feels pretty nice. I do think that it’s best to keep a certain distance from him. Come to the United States and visit me if you have the time.”

“To tell you the truth, ever since you went to the United States, I feel like moving there as well. The haze here is quite severe, and it caused my baby to have rhinitis. Right now, my priority is my wife and child,” Micheal complained.

“It would be best if you could come over here. I’ve been on TV recently, and I had garnered a better reputation. People have been coming to me for consultations and visiting my clinic frequently. If you come over here, I’ll give you 50% of the shares and you’ll manage the matters of appearances on TV.”

“Are you being serious right now?” Micheal asked excitedly.

“Why would I lie to you? When did I ever lie to you?” Stella smiled and said.

She didn’t care as she had unlimited money.

“I’ll go there once I finish dealing with things here. Let’s keep in touch,” Micheal said.

“Okay, I hope to hear from you soon,” Stella hung up the phone and lay her head at the bathtub rim.

If Micheal were to come over to the States, she wouldn’t need to worry about the clinic that much, and she could just treat one patient a day…
