Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 99 His Worth



Because the situation was urgent, Jasper Milton and Jimmy Fellow drove back without stopping through the night.

Stella Grace wanted to help them with the drive, but Jasper didn’t allow her to.

It was half-past six in the morning when they returned to A City.

When Stella got home, Eli Wayne got up.

When she saw Stella, she smiled and said, “Have you reconciled with Jasper?”

“Yes, and I’ll make breakfast for you.” Stella walked towards the kitchen.

Eli followed Stella into the kitchen and asked curiously, “Is the marriage between Jasper and Katty dissolved?”

“It should be,” Stella replied.

“Great, I knew that Jasper was a gentleman. Haha, once you are together, I will feel at ease. You don’t know it, but when you were not with each other before, I was so worried that my hair had turned white.”

Stella smiled and said, “Don’t worry about me. What about you? Your father must be the most anxious person.”

“I’ve already picked up the application form for the military, filled it up for you, and handed it over. When I enter the military, I’ll face those hot-blooded men every day. Are you afraid that I won’t be able to get married? I just have to pick someone I like!” Eli said optimistically.

“That’s fine. Sean hasn’t been pestering you, has he?” Stella asked Eli about Sean Yaleman with some concern.

“Him? Out of all the women, where do I rank? He must have forgotten about me a long time ago. I’ll treat it as if I had been bitten by a dog. Sis, you make breakfast, and I’ll put on a face mask since it’s early.” Eli went out with a smile.

While the porridge was being cooked, Stella went to wash up. After the porridge was cooked, Eli was also done.

“Are you still going to work today?” Eli asked.

“I was in a rush last night. Although I didn’t need to drive, I didn’t sleep well. I’m afraid that the surgery would be impacted, so I won’t go today.”

“It’s okay if you don’t go. My father had great foresight, so he has arranged for two gynecologists to come over on Monday, probably to replace you and me. I’m full now, so I’ll have to trouble you to wash the dishes. Mua, mua, mua.” Eli walked out of the door.

Stella washed the dishes, cleaned up the house, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

She didn’t know how Jasper had handled the situation. It should be very smooth, right?

“Knock knock knock.” There was a knock on the door.

Stella walked to the door suspiciously. From the peephole, she saw that it was Jasper’s mother, Suzi Shine.

Stella had seen her before at Katty Davis’home, so she recognized her.

Suzi knocked on the door again, as if she was sure that Stella would be inside.

Stella knew that they were going to meet again anyway, so she opened the door and greeted her respectfully. “Hello, auntie, please come in.”

Suzi looked around the house and said with a smile, “Your place may be small, but you’ve taken good care of it.”

Stella poured a cup of tea and served it to Suzi.

She then sat down opposite Suzi. “The tea leaves I used here were picked from the mountains when I went out for a trip with my colleagues earlier this year. Please have a try.”

Suzi picked up the teacup and took a sip. “Well, it’s fragrant and has a strong taste. It’s sweet and refreshing. It’s a good tea.”

“I picked quite a lot of it. It was quite a good experience and I even have some of the tea leaves packaged. If you don’t mind, you can have some.”

“Ah, you do have the eye for this! You picked a very high grade of tea! According to the current market price, it won’t be less than ten thousand for these. How much was it when you picked them?” Suzi asked casually.

“It was arranged by the tour group. I think it cost us 100 dollars a day. We were able to pick as much as we wanted.” Stella replied honestly.

“Miss Grace, you’ve taken advantage of the tea plantation here! The owner must be crying at his loss.” Suzi smiled as she placed the teacup on the table.

Stella could see that Suzi’s upbringing was very good. She was elegant, composed and her words were always well-mannered.

There was always a charming smile on her face, she was always dignified.

However, the ulterior meaning behind her words were sharper than a knife.

Suzi was using the tea leaves as a metaphor for Jasper’s situation. She meant that Stella was taking advantage of the Milton family to be robbing them of a gem like Jasper.

“Now that the owner of the tea house has collected my 100 dollars, he should be ready for it. Since he did not realize his tea’s worth, it’s too late for him. Only those with the eye for it should be rewarded by having the good tea, isn’t it?” Stella said calmly.

“Indeed, a lot of people don’t know how to grade tea leaves, but people are different. My Jasper was already outstanding when he was a child. He was supposed to attend university at Cambridge, but his father disagreed. He insisted on him going to the military academy to train him to take over his place in the future.

However, Jasper was independent. He had his own thoughts. When he was 14, he graduated from high school and went straight to the best university here. In four years, he had finished his postgraduate studies. You could see that he was destined for greatness.

He hid it from us and instead joined the special forces, this made his father so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

He took on the most dangerous missions, and he had been carried back on a stretcher several times. He was rebellious, disobedient, arrogant, and conceited. He thought his fate was entirely his own.

Thankfully, thanks to his heroic efforts in every battle, he was promoted to the rank of a major.

However, something happened that year.

He carried out the mission with eight comrades-in-arms. There was a spy in the team who betrayed them, and everyone died. When he escaped with the hostages, he was injured all over and rushed back to the army with great determination. He fainted immediately and lay unconscious in the hospital for a week.

His father and I were both worried sick.

But he still acted alone and almost died several times in his missions. His father and I have arranged a lot of people to protect him. Ultimately, he survived it all, and now he is the youngest Major General the military has ever seen.

What do you see, after I have told you his past?” Suzi asked earnestly.

“What I see is not important. What’s important is, are you actually trying to tell me?” Stella asked frankly.

“Our Jasper is strong and rebellious. It’s not easy for him to get where he is now. He is used to relying on himself instead of his family. He is a person who wants goodness. He is very proud, strong, and overbearing. But he is still a child in our eyes.

Our child has suffered outside, and we, as his parents, love him the most. We hope to give him all the best things in the world. But we still worry if it is ever enough.

Stella, I know that you are actually a reasonable person. It can be seen from your words and your gaze, your actions.

I appreciate your temperament very much.

However, to be honest, you can’t help Jasper here.

And perhaps, you’re still the biggest stumbling block in his life.” Suzi then took out a check from her bag.

It was for eight million dollars.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

She put the check in front of Stella.

“This is the compensation I am offering you. I hope it can assuage the damage to your feelings,” Suzi said with a smile.

Stella lowered her eyes and then she pushed the check back to Suzi. “In your eyes, Jasper is worth 8 million dollars. Can you make a guess, how much he is worth to me?”
