Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

No matter how rational Stella Grace was, this incident was too jarring.

She was frightened out of her wits and held Jasper Milton’s hand immediately. “How could someone suddenly die here?”

Jasper narrowed his eyes, and said urgently, “Someone is trying to frame you.”

Bang, bang, bang! In three bangs the door outside was knocked open.

“Jasper, leave now. Otherwise, they will suspect that the man caught us being intimate red-handed, and hence we harmed him. He who wants to beat his dog will easily find a stick,” Stella said urgently.

“Stella, do you believe me?” Jasper asked coldly.

“Yes,” Stella answered without hesitation.

The security guards of the hotel rushed in and headed straight for the hanging garden.

“Excuse me, Chief. We found a dead man in the hanging garden. We didn’t find the murderer.” The security captain reported through his walkie-talkie.

He knitted his brows and scanned the room, and then ordered his subordinates, “Search the room.”

“What are you doing here?” Jasper came in and snapped.

“There is a murder case in this room. Unauthorized personnel should leave the room,” the security captain said irritably.

Jasper narrowed his eyes and grabbed the neck of the security captain. He held the man against the door, and a frigid light flashed across his eyes.

The security captain had no room to struggle.

“What identity do you have to yell at me? If there is a murder case, you, a security guard, can’t handle it, can you?” Jasper said trenchantly.

The security captain’s face turned pale.

Jasper hurled the security captain away and dialed a phone number. He ordered, “Call the police department in Sun City. There is a murder case in Room 1829 of Sun City Hotel. Make sure he arrives within 30 minutes.”

When the security captain heard Jasper call the police, his facial expression looked even uglier.

“Captain, we didn’t find any guests in this room.” One of the security guards reported.

The security guard frowned and said, “Let’s go out first.”

Jasper stood straight at the door. “We’d better wait for the police to come. It’s better to make it clear together.”

Ten minutes later, Stella’s hair was wet when she came out of the elevator. She walked to the door of her room and asked in surprise, “Why are you guys in my room?”

The security guard’s eyes popped wide open when he saw Stella. He looked at the hanging garden and then at Stella, with his eyes glittering and his head lowered down.

“What happened?” The chief security guard also came over.

“Chief, a man died in Room 1829. However, we can’t find the one who killed him,” the security captain reported.

The chief security guard glanced at Stella and ordered, “Check the surveillance cameras.”

Jasper narrowed his eyes at the chief security guard sharply. “The police will deal with these things.”

The chief security guard immediately lowered his head. “Yes, yes.”

Half an hour later.

The director of the Sun City police department, the crime scene investigation team, the hotel manager, the chief security director, and the security captain, Jasper Milton, Stella Grace, and others were all in the monitoring room.

They were watching the video recording.

Stella checked in at 8:12 p. m.

It was 8:20 p. m. when Jasper entered Stella’s room, and it was 8:30 p. m. when he left Stella’s room.

All the videos were blank from 9:10 p. m. to 9:40 p. m.

At 9:41 p. m., the security guards rushed into Stella’s room and found that someone was dead.

At 9:51 p. m., Stella returned.

“Ms. Grace, may I ask what have you were doing between 9:10 p. m. to 9:40 p. m.? ” The police asked Stella.

“After Mr. Milton left, I was surfing the Internet.

Because I am an Inspector who is just transferred to Sun City, I have to understand the culture of Sun City.

“You can check all the history of my browsing on the website.

It was about 9:30 p. m. when I felt a little tired. I saw that there was a hotel garden swimming pool in the hotel introduction.

I went downstairs to the swimming pool,” Stella explained calmly.

“The surveillance of the swimming pool should operate separately, right?” The police asked the chief of the Security Department.

“It’s separated.” The chief of the Security Department said and played the video recording.

Stella Grace appeared in the swimming pool at 9:42 p. m. After swimming for two laps, she left.

“Why did you only swim for two laps?” the policeman asked.

“The water is not very clean,” Stella said, “Officer, please find out who the murderer is. Why did he die in my garden? It’s too mysterious.”

“As for the details, we will follow up,” the policeman said, looking bored.

The expression of the chief security guard was very bad. “How could this happen?”

“You notice that the recording was missing for half an hour, didn’t you?” The policeman asked the chief security guard suspiciously.

“Someone among us is having his birthday today. So I’m going to use 1729 room for the birthday party. I used my ID card to register. The one on duty is called over to have a cake and is ready to go on duty.” The chief security guard explained.

“By the way, when we were in room 1729,” the security captain said. “We heard a woman’s scream from Room 1829, so I brought my men and rushed over immediately.”noveldrama

“When did you hear the scream?” the policeman asked sharply.

“I took a look at my watch. I’m sure it’s 9:30 p. m.. And I’m very sure it’s a woman’s voice. We all heard it,” the security captain said and looked at Stella with a strange look.

Stella glared at the security captain and asked, “Do you mean that I killed that man?”

“Officer, let me explain. The man came at 9:10 p. m. to look for Stella, and she killed him in 20 minutes. Then she screamed at 9:30 p. m. It was 9:41 p. m. when we rushed in. At 9:30 p. m., she hurried to the swimming pool and created an alibi.”

Stella laughed and said, “Please, that man is sturdy and strong. Am I his match? In addition, I don’t even know who he is. Why did he come to me? Why did I kill him?”

“What if you gave him some knock-out drugs first? Then stab him with a knife, it’s totally possible.” The security captain said with confidence.

Jasper frowned and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

The door was pushed open, and a colleague from the forensics department came in. He reported to the director, “We found a bottle of XXXX in the room. We need to go back and do a post-mortem of the body, and further judge whether he died from the dagger or poison.”

“See, I’ve told you.” The security captain stood up excitedly.

“Do you mean that she killed someone and deliberately screamed to lure you over?” Jasper said coldly.

“She is deliberately making an alibi.” The security captain said with certainty.

“If the alibi has been made, why did she deliberately leave the poison behind?

In addition, I heard the scream from next door was at 9:39 p. m., which was not in line with what you said at 9:30 p. m.

Moreover, not long after I heard the scream, about a minute or two, then I heard the banging of the door next door.

Why are you lying? Are you the murderer?” Jasper questioned.

The security captain’s face turned pale, and he quibbled, “Maybe my watch is broken.”

Jasper grabbed the security captain’s wrist, checked the time, and said coldly, “Sorry, your watch is not broken.”
