Stella Grace jumped. She turned around and looked at Jasper Milton.
With one hand in his pocket he stormed up the stairs, glaring at Frederick Addington.
Frederick squinted, and his eyes were full of hatred.
"You can't make Stella happy," Frederick said.
Jasper walked up to Stella, put his arms around her waist, and protectively pulled her to his side. "You have no right to judge that. You're just being a sour grape."
Frederick gritted his teeth. "I don't want to argue with you."
He walked past Jasper and went down the stairs.
Jasper turned around and looked at him. "Mr. Addington, I don't interfere with my wife's social circle, but there is a limit to everything. I am willing to use extreme measures to put some ambitious people in their place."
As he said this, he held Stella tighter.
