Chapter 96 Sorry
Stella Grace really fell asleep that way, lying on her stomach.
Jasper Milton saw that she was sleeping like this, and it must be very uncomfortable.
He put his arm around her shoulder and let her sleep on his lap instead.
He was afraid that she would tumble off, so he hugged her all the way.
Jimmy Fellow glanced at the Chief.
It was the first time that he had seen the Chief treating a person so gently, and to a woman.
Jasper looked at Stella with pity.
In the past two days, she followed them on this mission, running around and coming up with ideas. She tried to find a way to climb the mountains, she didn’t mention a word of complaint and even walked in front of them without dragging them down.
He should have controlled his temper.
His temper was like a sharp sword, and it would only hurt the people around him.
His soldiers had to bear with his anger, but she didn’t have to.
The car stopped.
Stella opened her eyes and looked into Jasper’s eyes.
She sat up calmly and looked out of the window. “Have we arrived at the hotel?”
“Let’s eat first. Jimmy and I will go to see the survivor from Tavers Village later. You can rest in the hotel.” Jasper deliberately softened his tone.
“No need for that. We can eat anytime, let’s get to work first. If Hale informed Timmy, maybe Timmy would have escaped now. He is the key person we need to solve the case.” Stella suggested.
Jasper nodded to Jimmy and passed him Timmy Nine’s address.
Stella’s hair was in a mess after her long nap.
She pulled the knotted parts apart and combed it through with her hands.
Jasper was just looking at her.
She didn’t even look at him. She was very graceful, with a sense of distance.
“Stella.” Jasper suddenly uttered.
Stella glanced at him.
“I’m sorry that I lost my temper at you.” He apologized.
She paused for a moment.
To think that someone as proud and cold as him would apologize to her.
It was not easy for ordinary people to apologize, but it was even harder for him.
She was still very touched in her heart…
because it was normal to argue over different opinions and ideas.
She was upset at that time, but when she calmed down and thought about it, it was nothing serious.
As long as it was not betrayal, as long as he did not step on her limits…
If a person had no emotions and no temper, he would not be a human being.
She didn’t have a pleasant temper too, so she shouldn’t ask for him to not have temper too.
“I was wrong too. I shouldn’t have made more comments on something I did not understand.” She said in turn apologetically.
“At that time, I went deep into the enemies base with eight members of the special forces, I went to save a politician. There were traitor spies within our group and they died one by one under the enemy’s guns. In the end, I was the only one who survived, and… Hale disappeared at the most critical moment.
I have a lot of evidence indicating that she was the hidden traitor. I have been chasing her down over the past few years. Those dead brothers of mine is the cage I can’t get out of. So, when I see Hale, I will become more emotional and behaving unreasonably.” Jasper explained.
“Okay.” Stella nodded.
he held her hand. “However, you are right. If she is a hidden traitor, why wouldn’t she return to the team after completing her covert tasks? Instead, she hid in the abandoned Tavers Village. I will need to check this out.” He reasoned.
“I’m talking nonsense. You know what you should do in your army affairs best.” She replied in a soft voice.
“Are you still angry with me?” Jasper asked, looking at her worriedly.
Stella shook her head and said, “Those were emotional reactions, I will be fine in a while.”
“Well, if I’m being mean to you in future, you can tell me directly that you’re unhappy. Don’t start a cold war with me anymore. My heart can’t take it.” He held her in his arms.
Stella leaned against him and looked out of the window.
After a while, they arrived Timmy’s accommodations.
He had rented double-storey building.
Jasper glanced around and said to Stella, “You can stay in the car as back up.”
“Okay.” She said.
She watched as Jimmy busted open the door and pointed his gun at Timmy.
When Timmy saw them, he was on his guard and jumped OVER the wall and ran away.
Jasper rushed over.
Timmy saw that he could not escape, so he immediately put his knife against his neck. “Don’t come over here. If you come, I will slit my neck and die!” He said in a frenzy.
“Are you the one who killed State Mayor Cher?” Jasper asked sharply.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t kill anyone, so don’t come over,” Timmy said warily.
If you didn’t kill anyone, why did you run away? If you didn’t kill anyone, I would let you go.” Jasper said in a low voice.
“I won’t go with you. I would rather die than go with you.” Timmy pointed at his neck.
“If you die, who will avenge the 107 villagers?” Stella said.
After pausing for a while, Timmy looked at her and frowned deeply..
Stella stood next to Jasper, but did not approach him. She looked straight at Timmy and said, “Didn’t you and Hale figure it out? The people who slaughtered the village were not only State Mayor Cher but also at least five other powerful figures. If you die with the the 107 villagers, the murderer will be at large. Are you willing to do this?”
“I killed State Mayor Cher. If I am caught, you wouldn’t have let me off the hook. I wouldn’t be able to avenge myself.” Timmy said emotionally, his eyes turning red.
“Who says you can’t avenge them? Your strength alone is as light as an ant. If you hand it over to the police, the country, its combined strength will be like a formidable rock, isn’t it?” Stella persuaded.
“Those people are all high-ranking officials, and State Mayor Cher is just a small character. It can be seen how high up the officials are. Is it even useful to hand the information over to the police?” Timmy was in denial.
“It’s useful. I’m Jasper Milton from the military special forces. My rank is Major General. If the police don’t investigate this, my people can investigate on your behalf.” Jasper promised.
Timmy looked at Jasper in disbelief, and then at Stella in disbelief.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“So you guys are from the army, and you’re not police officers. Why do you want to arrest me? Why should I trust you?” Timmy became more uneasy. “Did you also participate in slaughtering of the village?”
“If we had participated in slaughtering the village, you would have died a long time ago, and you wouldn’t be speaking to us here.” Jasper said coldly.
“Then why did you come for me?” Timmy yelled.
“Because I’m now under suspicion of having murdered State Mayor Cher. I’m looking for you to prove my innocence.” Jasper said coldly.
“If you’ve proved that you’re innocent, what about my revenge? If I go with you, there will be no chance of revenge.” Timmy was not calm.
“If you have done something wrong, you should be punished by the law. If those people have done something wrong, they should also be punished by the law. I promise you that I won’t let those people go unpunished. I will hire a lawyer to protect you. I will let you wait for the day when the truth is clear and your villagers can rest in peace.” Jasper promised seriously.
Timmy then looked at Stella.
“What did you find out in your five years of investigation? If it weren’t for the fact that State Mayor Cher was recently arrested and this matter was exposed, you wouldn’t even know about State Mayor Cher. How many years do you think it would take you to find out about the other people?” Stella asked in a very rational way.
“Can you really help me investigate the people who slaughtered the village?” Timmy’s attitude was a little eased.
“I swear on my name.” Jasper said as he glared at Timmy coldly.
His majestic aura, his bold elegance, made people trust him incessantly.
