Chapter 97 I’m Marrying Stella, No Matter What
“Okay, I’ll go with you, but I won’t confess to my crime. Anyway, you can’t find any evidence to prove that I’m guilty. When you find the murderer, I’ll confess.” Timmy Nine put down his knife.
Jasper Milton walked towards Timmy.
Jimmy Fellow noticed a flash of light and said warily, “Watch out, Chief. There’s a sniper rifle.”
Stella Grace’s first reaction was that someone might have also discovered Timmy’s true identity, and they wanted to kill him to destroy all witnesses.
She could not let anything happen to Timmy.
She jumped onto a rock and stood in front of Timmy.
Jasper turned around and threw himself at Stella.
There was a loud bang.
Stella looked at Jasper.
“Are you okay?” Jasper asked worriedly.
Stella looked at him with a blazing gaze.
Whenever someone was in crisis, their first reaction would be their subconscious reaction from the heart.
Jasper had actually jumped in front of her to keep her safe.
Did this mean that she was the first person in his heart?
“I’m fine. Where is Timmy?” Stella looked around for Timmy.
Timmy had been shot in the forehead and fell to the ground heavily.
“Timmy!” Stella screamed and ran towards the man.
Timmy’s face was covered with blood and his eyes were wide open. He was still breathing his last breath.
Stella was frantic, she pressed on his bleeding forehead. “Send him to the hospital for emergency rescue. Jasper, call now and prepare for cranial surgery. Perhaps he can be saved.”
“Jimmy, go after the assassin!” Jasper ordered, and then he made a call.
Jimmy quickly ran in the direction of the sniper rifle.
Stella knew that she would not be able to save Timmy at all. Her eyes turned red. “Who are these people? Why did they kill Timmy? What are they up to?”
Timmy closed his eyes.
“No, you can’t die.” Stella pressed on Timmy’s chest and pumped to help his heart.
Timmy gasped his last breath, he was dead.
The sniper rifle had shot clean through his head, so it was impossible for him to survive.
“How could he die?” Stella was rather shaken.
Jasper helped her up.
She looked at him and said, “Now that Timmy is dead, no one can prove that you are innocent, right?”
“I have already contacted the local police. They will come over soon. Stella, we must calm down now.” Jasper grabbed her shoulders.
Stella admitted that she could not calm down when she saw a person die in front of her.
After all, she did not have the psychological training of a soldier.
She held her head and closed her eyes.
Timmy wasn’t someone she knew closely, but yet she already couldn’t calm down.
Jasper had watched many of his military brothers, comrade-in-arms, and even his previous girlfriend die in front of him, one by one.
At that moment, Stella had a glimpse into how much Jasper must have experienced.
She couldn’t mess around. She had to calm down. She had to be rational. She couldn’t drag him down.
Stella opened her eyes and forced herself to calm down. She looked at Jasper and asked, “What should I do now?”
“The police will be here in a minute. They will ask us to make a statement. The less you know, the safer it will be. Don’t mention the gold mines and the treasure, so as not to alert the bad guys. Is that okay?” Jasper said calmly.
The more flustered the scene was, the calmer he had to be.
Stella understood and nodded.
“When they come later, tell them that we suspect that he is related to the death of State Mayor Cher. But before we can ask why, he was killed by the sniper. Leave the rest of the affairs to the police. We will investigate covertly. With my identity, they dare not speculate. As for the media, I will ask them to suppress it. Follow the long term plan.” Jasper explained.
“Well, okay,” Stella responded, her hands still trembling.
Jasper saw that her hands were covered with blood.
He used some bottled water from the car to wash it away for her.
Her hands became colder and colder.
Jasper held her hands and wrapped around his.
His hand and palm were very warm.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Jasper.
He smiled and said, “I’m here. I can solve any problem. Don’t worry.”
In fact, Stella was not at ease. There were a lot of worries. However, at least, he was by her side. Under his comfort, her heart gradually calmed down.
When Jimmy returned, he lowered his head and reported, “Chief, he escaped.”
“Noted,” Jasper responded.
The mayor’s police squad had arrived.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Take care of it,” Jasper ordered, and took Stella’s hand, moving towards the car.
“Don’t we need to go to?” Stella asked.
“Let Jimmy deal with it first. The matter I just told you is in the case where there is no other choice. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t dare question me. Jimmy knows how to handle it.” Jasper stared straight ahead.
Just as Jasper had expected, those people did not dare to knock on the car door at all.
They put Timmy’s body in a body bag and left the scene.
Jimmy opened the door of the driver’s seat and got in the car. He reported, “They took the body to the morgue. They won’t take action for the time being. They will follow our instructions.”
“Okay, let’s go back first,” Jasper ordered.
They got in the car.
Jasper called Steven Milton on the phone and said, “I have something to tell you. The murderer has been found, and his name is Timmy Nine. However, he has been shot by a sniper ten minutes ago, and I don’t know who shot him.”
“What? Why was there a sniper?” Steven asked calmly.
“I don’t know. I don’t think it’s as simple as I thought before. The sniper who killed the murderer is not yet identified. What’s certain is that my whereabouts this time have been exposed and someone is following me.” Jasper said in a low voice.
“The murderer who killed State Mayor Cher is dead, and there is no right evidence to prove his death. Now Zoah must think that State Mayor Cher had been killed by you. No, you must marry Katty and suppress this matter, so as not to ruin our plans!” Steven said angrily.
“I’m innocent, and I’m not afraid of other people’s accusations.” Jasper refused.
“But I’m afraid! And so is your mother. I did call State Mayor Cher, and he did sell the land to Milton Corp. Now Zoah has the confession from State Mayor Cher in his hands.” Steven said worriedly.
“Then it could also be a case of State Mayor Cher being framed. They would not find the recorded evidence from State Mayor Cher, right? Besides, the land was not forcefully taken. It was bought according to the normal market price. That’s all. I want to hang up now, I have to drive.” Jasper said decisively.
“Your mother and I promised you that if you found the murderer, we would agree to let you marry Stella. Now that the murderer is dead, we won’t agree for you to marry her!” Steven said in an oppressive tone.
“Whether I’m marrying Stella or not, I don’t need your consent. You can refuse, but it won’t affect my decision.” Jasper hung up the phone.
Stella looked at him.
In order to be with her, he had told off his parents so firmly, she was very touched.
With a husband like this, there was nothing else to ask for.
“Tell me, if we find Hale, can you prove that it was Timmy who murdered State Mayor Cher?” Stella asked softly.
