Chapter 51

When Jasper caught Haynes' gaze, his face immediately gave him away. He was never good at hiding things.

Haynes instantly pieced it all together. His deep-set eyes flickered. "What exactly happened here?"

Stella acted like she didn't even hear him, not bothering to glance at him.

Neville chuckled and asked, "Star, what happened just now?"

Stella could ignore Haynes but couldn't brush off Neville. She was tired of this whole suspicion and explanation

routine. Instead of answering, she picked up her phone from the side and casually tapped the screen.

A video started playing, showing Jasper's booming voice echoing through the room.

"Stella, you murderer!"

The shaky footage revealed Jasper picking up a water glass and throwing its contents at Stella. The screen went

blurry as the liquid hit the camera.

Haynes suddenly remembered noticing Stella's hair was a bit damp when he entered the room, and there were

swatermarks on the sheets, too.

As Stella wiped the screen dry, Jasper's voice filled the room again when he pointed at Stella, arrogantly

threatening her, and moved toward her like he was ready to pounce.

As he reached out, Stella kicked him away. Unprepared, Jasper stumbled into a nearby table, knocking over

glasses and taking Rachel down.

The video ended, leaving the room in a deafening silence.

Haynes' inscrutable eyes settled on Rachel. "Rachel, is that how it went?"

Rachel looked stunned and took a moment before nodding. "Yes. Ms. Cameron didn't push me."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Rachel's eyes reddened with frustration. "I cto ask Ms. Cameron about the car accident. Falling was a small

incident. | never intended to blMs. Cameron."

Indeed, Rachel had never claimed Stella pushed her. Jasper had pinned the fault on Stella.

Haynes' chiseled features darkened, his expression a storm barely contained. He turned to Jasper, his voice

cutting through the tension like a blade. "Apologize. Now."

Jasper was shocked. "What?"

Haynes' eyes were cold. "Apologize to Stella."

Jasper was reluctant. As a man, especially one dealing with his friend's girl, it didn't sit well with him. Reluctantly,

he muttered, "Stella, I'm sorry."

Stella raised an eyebrow. "What was that? | didn't catch it."

Jasper bit his lip, his expression one of humiliation. He repeated, louder, "Stella, I'm sorry."

Stella responded coldly, "I think Mr. Wilkinson shouldn't bother apologizing." Jasper's eyes lit up with hope.

"Haynie, Stella said | don't have to apologize..."

Before he could finish, Stella interjected, "Because no matter how he apologizes, | won't forgive him. Instead of a

reluctant apology, perhaps he should experience having a few cups of water thrown at him. It might be more

effective."

Jasper's eyes widened in anger, and he shouted, "Stella, you're going too far! Didn't you kick me?"

Stella leaned back against the headboard. "You didn't think it was too far when you threw water on me. Now you

do? Jasper, don't you see the hypocrisy?"

"| kicked you in self-defense. Who knows what you would've done next? Lying here injured, I'm no match for a

man like you."
