Frederick Addington came in from the door and satzily on her sofa, looking at her with deep eyes. “What will you do after you find out who raped you?”


    “Who the hell is it?” Ste Grace could not calm down, and her eyes were red.


    She wanted to know where her child had gone.


    Frederick smirked. “Sleep with me. I’ll tell you who it is.”


    Ste picked up the fruit te on the tea table and smashed it on Frederick’s body. She roared, “Get out.”


    Frederick held her hand with great strength and pulled her to his side. “Jasper can sleep with you, why can’t I? Jasper has slept with many women before, hasn’t he?”


    “At least he hasn’t done that since he met me.” Ste could not bear to hear Frederick speak ill of Jasper.


    “Why not, how about Katty? They are engaged. Ste, don’t be silly, it’s impossible for you to be with him.”


    Ste was about to withdraw her hand.


    Frederick grabbed it firmly and did not want to let go.


    She bit his hand.


    Frederick clenched his teeth, and his face went livid. He rasped through clenched teeth. “The one who raped you was Jasper Milton.”


    Ste looked at Frederick in disbelief. There was a moment of emptiness and shock. The calmness was scary as if her soul had been taken away.


    Frederick looked at the bite marks on his hand, then red at her coldly.


    “You’re lying, aren’t you?” Ste did not believe it at all.


    “You only need to ask Jasper.” Frederick was very confident and calm.


    “Impossible.”


    “Why do you think he’s treating you so specially? Don’t you think he’s trying to make up for you?” Frederick said cruelly, letting go of Ste’s hand.


    Ste dropped her shoulders. Her eyes were unfocused as if in a trance, an unconscious frown on her face.


    Frederick grabbed Ste’s shoulder.


    Ste defensively pushed him away and retreated two meters away. Her face was extremely pale.


    “Ste, you are a very rational person. What do you think? How did you attract Jasper’s attention? Women surrounding him are much more beautiful and frivolous than you. Is it because of your character?” Frederick said with a cold face.


    Ste stared straight at him.


    “Jasper likes enthusiastic, lively, and cheerful girls. He wrote that in his diary. That’s why he fell in love with Bettany Hadley. Do you think you are enthusiastic, lively, and cheerful? You just happen to be the exact opposite.”


    Every word and every sentence of Frederick pounded heavily on Ste’s heart.


    She felt that she could not bear it any longer, so she sat on the sofa, her legs weak.


    Frederick stood in front of her, his ck shadow covering her.


    “He treats you well because he hurt you. He feels responsible for the harm I have done to you. He has a great sense of responsibility. You should be able to see that too.”


    Ste lowered her eyes.


    Frederick squatted in front of Ste and held her cold hands.


    She was motionless, like a sculpture. She fell into deep thoughts.


    “Ste, I have betrayed you, and you have also betrayed me. We are even, okay? I still want to be with you. Give me a chance, I will cherish you, I promise,” Frederick said softly.


    Ste looked at Frederick, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. “If you and your girlfriend hadn’t kidnapped me and put me in the wild, do you think I would have met that man?”


    “I just wanted to scare you. I didn’t expect that you would run away,” Frederick exined.


    “I ran away so it was my fault?” Ste retorted, and her eyes became colder. “You are so powerful that you have already found the man who raped me. How about my child? Where is my child? Have you found the baby?”


    “Didn’t you abort the child? Did you actually give birth?” Frederick asked frantically. He stood up and locked eyes with Ste.


    Ste turned her head away.


    At first, she thought that the child had been taken away by Frederick. Now, she realized that Frederick always thought that she had aborted the child.


    There was something coincidental in this matter.


    When Celine Grace had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, Ste tried her best to get her out.


    When Frederick discovered that she was pregnant, he forced her to abort the baby.


    Therefore, she asked Frederick for help.


    She went to the hospital. As she was hesitating, she happened to meet a student who did not want others to know that she had an abortion.


    The student wrote Ste’s name’s on the abortion slip.


    The doctor handed over the student’s aborted embryo to Frederick.


    Frederick helped her bail Celine out.


    Ste then took Celine away for a retreat.


    Frederick turned a deaf ear to Ste’s words and ignored her.


    She had given birth to a child while she was away. In less than a week, the child had been taken away.


    Celine had been hurt, and she had hurt others. From then on, she was locked up in the sanatorium and could no longer be discharged.


    “Speak.” Frederick was raging.


    “The child is my baby. I wanted to give birth to the child. I could take good care of it.” Ste was also getting distressed.


    “No wonder you were depressed during that period of time. I thought it was me, who forced that abortion, made you depressed. It was the child of a rapist. I didn’t expect that you were depressed because the child was taken away.” Frederick stormed out of the room furiously and mmed the door.


    Ste regretted speaking up.


    She should not have told Frederick about the child. What if he hurt the child?


    She was very upset.


    When Mina Hadley came back, she saw Ste sitting motionless on the sofa. “What’s wrong?”


    “Which neighboring city is Jasper in?” Ste asked with red eyes.


    “How would we know about the chief’s matters?” Mina asked very cautiously.


    “I see,” Ste called Jasper on the phone. “Is it alright for you toe back now?”


    “It’s a little difficult. I have an appointment with someone tonight. I’ll try my best toe over tomorrow,” Jasper looked at the time and said.


    “There’s no need for that. You attend to your own business first. Which city are you in now?” Ste asked.


    “I’m in Rivendell City next to Sun City. What’s wrong?” Jasper felt that something was not quite right from her tone.


    “Nothing, see you tomorrow.” Ste hung up the phone.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Jasper was still on the highway, and he had important tasks tonight. She did not want to affect his mood.


    Ste picked up her bag and said to Mina, “I’ll ask for leave tomorrow. Help me tell the Inspection Institution.”


    “Where are you going? I’ll go with you,” Mina said worriedly.


    “I am going to look for your chief. I will be fine. I wille back after I see him tomorrow.” Ste knew that even if she did not say it, Mina would still report it. There was no need to keep her guessing.


    She went out, headed to the bus station, and bought a ticket to Rivendell City. While waiting for the bus, she bought a cup of instant noodles at the station and ate it. She considered it her dinner. She took thest bus to Rivendell City. It was 10:30 at night when she arrived.


    She checked into a hotel near the bus station.
