"I want to invite you to dinner in the evening. I wonder if you are free." Bettany Hadley said softly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not free. I've invited someone to dinner." Stella Grace refused directly.
"Then how about tomorrow noon? I have something very important to tell you."
"Say it on the phone call. It's the same. I don't think we have to meet." Stella Grace didn't want to see Bettany Hadley. There was no special reason. She just didn't want to.
"I have something for you. Tomorrow I'll wait for you in box 302 of the Ziyuan building. I'll talk with you there." Bettany Hadley finished and without waiting for Stella Grace to speak she hung up the phone.
Stella Grace put away her mobile phone and put it in her bag.
"Who is it?" Frederick  asked curiously.
"Bettany Hadley." Stella Grace didn't lie.
"If she is looking for you, I advise you to not go. I don't think it's a good thing. By the way, I heard that Jasper Milton refused to marry her and gave her all his houses and savings." Frederick  said with an unknown look.
"I'll think about it." Stella Grace didn't say no directly.
Frederick  frowned. "You don't need to go too close to her. She's not as simple as she looks."
"I am an adult. I have never encountered simple things. Frederick , are you simple?" Stella Grace retorted.
Frederick  put his arm around her shoulder and looked at her, "Come here. Tell me, why you are angry. I'm all ears."
"I don't think you respect me. You just want to control me. You want to restrict my freedom, but, I want freedom." Stella Grace expressed.
Frederick  pinched her nose. "I don't want to control you. I care about you. Okay, let's go to dinner. I'm hungry."
Frederick  dragged her away, like he didn't want to argue with her.
Indeed, he just wanted to control her.
Stella Grace turned her back and saw a furtive figure hiding.
Someone was following them again. Does that person follow her or Frederick ?
"Frederick," Stella Grace called.
"Someone is following us. Get on the car." Frederick  said in a low voice.
So that person is not Frederick's person?
She also didn't like being followed, so she didn't speak and followed Frederick  to the car.
"Don't look back." Frederick  reminded her while fastening his seat belt and drove.
Stella Grace looked in the mirror. A tall, thin man with a cap came out and got in the car.
"Whose man is it?" Stella Grace asked.
"I don't know." Frederick  said in a deep voice, flashing the same wave in his eyes and driving.
The car sped along the road.
Frederick  was crazily driving.
She grabbed the handle on the door and remembered that three years ago, Frederick did this. But at that time, Jasper Milton saved her. But now, she was the only one.
"Slow down, you'll hit someone." Stella Grace reminded her.
"Do you worry doubt my ability?" Frederick's asked, his brow was screwed up, and his eyes were shining with implication, "I know who is following us."
"Who is it?" Stella Grace followed Frederick's eyes and looked forward.
There were obstacles ahead. The traffic police seemed to be waiting for them on purpose. He wanted to back up, but there were obstacles in the back.
Stella Grace seemed to know who was following them.
"Jasper Milton." Frederick  said definitely.
Stella Grace frowned and thought, "Is Jasper Milton protecting her?"
Frederick  got out of the car, walked to the traffic police, smiled and said, "I'm not breaking the law, am I?"
"During the rush hour, you crossed more than six traffic signals in a row. Don't you think you have violated the law?" The traffic police said seriously.
"Officer, you don't know. Someone was following me just now. I was just trying to avoid him." Frederick  explained.
"That's your business. I only care about the convenience of transportation. I'll detain you first, go through legal procedures." The traffic police seemed to be honest and selfless.
Frederick  knew that since someone had the intention to arrange it, he would not let him go easily, "can I make a phone call?"
The traffic police thought for a moment and nodded, "yes."
Frederick  called out and said in a voice, "I was detained by the traffic police on Guang'an Road because of speeding and crossing the traffic signals. I need to be detained and dealt with."
He hung up the phone, walked to Stella Grace, opened the passenger's door, "this car is detained, I will go to the detention centre for a few hours. Wait for me to come out and then we will have supper together."
Stella Grace looked at him and nodded. "I'll go back to the hotel first. I'll wait for you until 10 o'clock. I'll sleep after 10 o'clock."
Frederick  rubbed Stella Grace's head, "don't forget to have dinner, wait for me to contact again."
Stella Grace pushed his hand away. "I'm not a small animal. Don't rub my head. My hair is in disorder."
"You are such a merciless woman. I'm going to the detention centre. But still, there's no gentleness." Frederick  exclaimed.
"Some women can give the gentleness you want. Don't waste time here, go early and come back early." She said decidedly.
Perhaps, what he liked was such a sincerity.
Frederick  went with the traffic police. Stella Grace hired a taxi to go back to the Paradise Hotel. Her cell phone rang. It was a strange caller ID. She didn't want to answer it. So, she hung up.
The strange caller ID called again.
She answered with a frown and asked in a bad voice, "Who is it? What's the matter?"
"I'm Jasper Milton. I'm calling you with a hidden number now. Do remember to delete the caller ID after the call. This number can't be found on the mobile. I'll shut down Frederick  for a few days. If you have something to do, call me and memorize my number." Jasper Milton said in a deep voice.
"Why do you do that? You know that shutting Frederick will not solve anything. It will only increase the contradictions between you. In addition, your protection is actually harming me." Stella Grace said angrily.
She has other things that needed to be done by Frederick . If Frederick  will be locked up, it will only delay her progress. After a month, she didn't know how to handle her body. So, she needed to speed up.
Jasper Milton felt her anger, and he was silent.
She knew that he was concerned about her and shouldn't be angry with him. She took a deep breath and adjusted her mood, "Don't do this in the future."
"Stella Grace, why do you want to stay with Frederick ? Is there something that he can do, and I can't?" Jasper Milton asked directly.
"Don't worry about my business. I have my own idea. You can do your business well. That's it." Stella Grace hung up directly.
Jasper Milton narrowed his eyes. He thought that there must be some things that Frederick  can do, but he can't.
What are those things?
He had a premonition that if he will know what those things were, he would let Stella Grace come back to him.
