Chapter 480 Stellan, I Just Want to Take You Away
After saying all this, Ambrose sat on the ground and broke down in tears, his cries resonating throughout the house.
Stellan stood there in a daze. She knew that Ambrose was truly heartbroken.
At that moment, Stellan's mind kept replaying what he had just said.
Having known Ambrose for so long, this was the first time he had said these things to her. Besides, she had never known about Ambrose's background and experiences.
When Ambrose first joined the Storm Group, all his information except his name was fake. He only told Stellan that his hometown was far from Arizona and his parents were ordinary workers. She once expressed her desire to meet his family, but he always refused.
Back then, Brennan disapproved of her relationship with Ambrose, so when Ambrose refused her request to meet his family, she let it go.
During the time Ambrose was weeping, Stellan remained silent. When Ambrose finally lifted his head once more, Stellan met his gaze and noticed his eyes were bloodshot.
"I'm sorry; I lost my composure earlier," Ambrose said, wiping his tears as he slowly stood up from the ground and walked closer to her.
As he untied the ropes on her hands and feet, he said, "Regarding the Storm family, I'll tell you everything I know."
"What do you know?" Hearing that he was about to speak, Stellan quickly asked.
"Let me start from what I know," Ambrose said slowly, "At that time, I had just returned to the Vale family not long ago and I was just a small employee at Far East
International. One day, Stuart approached me and told me to go to Country A, find a way to get close to you, and then join the Storm Group.
"I didn't know why he wanted me to do this, so I asked him, but he still didn't tell me the reason. He just told me that if I succeeded, I could officially join the Vale family, and He woundryvenerdryer rerar 'lı marrager posnitórraztrar caschinenmattórrar.'1 'was soreager” to prove myself at that time, so I agreed."
"I'm really sorry. When we first met, I saved you from drowning, but it was all premeditated. I thought that if I could make you like me and join the Storm Group, it would aid my advancement within the organization. I'm sorry, Stellan. I just wanted to gain your trust as quickly as possible. I..."
"That's all in the past. Go ahead." Stellan interrupted him.
Ambrose said, "Everything went smoothly afterward, and we quickly became lovers. I worked tirelessly at the Storm Group and was swiftly promoted. That period was truly the happiest time of my life; I often forgot that my intentions were not pure."
"After I gained your trust, Stuart called me and told me to steal the Storm Group's trade secrets. I was really conflicted at that time. I felt I was betraying you, but I had no choice. If I didn't do it, everything would be over for me."
"Following Stuart's instructions, I stole the Storm Group's trade secrets and gave them to him. Then, I contacted some people as per his instructions. I really didn't know what he was up to at that time. He just told me to follow his orders and didn't tell me anything else."
"It wasn't until the Storm Group got into trouble that I found out he had stolen the food formula produced by the Storm Group and replaced one of the ingredients. Although this new ingredient was very similar to the original, it was a chronic poison. Naturally, problems arose later, but things escalated too quickly after that."
"Then Brennan was arrested. Then I felt really guilty at that time. The night I heard Brennan was bailed out, I wanted to find him. I knew he wasn't home, so I went to the office, but he wasn't there either. I left the office and then called him."
Upon hearing Ambrose's statement, Stellan recollected what Derek had mentioned: on the night of Brennan's death, he had seen Ambrose at the office when she went to meet him.
It all matched up. Ambrose was probably not lying.
Stellan asked, "And then?"

"I called Brennan, but he didn't answer. He had just been bailed out, but he wasn't at home or at the office, so I felt something was wrong. I had a backup plan, so I tracked Brennan's phone signal, and then..."
Ambrose paused for a moment before continuing, "When I got there, I saw him falling from the building. There were two other people on the rooftop besides Brennan-one was Todd, and the other I couldn't identify; it was too far to see clearly."
So Brennan was pushed? Thinking of this, Stellan felt a pain like thousands of ants gnawing at her heart. She had blamed Brennan for so many years, thinking he had abandoned her to commit suicide. But it wasn't true!
Ambrose said, "I'm sorry, Stellan. I never intended for Brennan to die. Seeing him die really scared me. After that, Todd contacted me and said my task was complete and that I should leave Country A with him.
"I really couldn't let go of you at that time. I didn't want to leave, but Todd said thatif I stayed in Country A and got caught, they would pin everything on me and make me die with Brennan. I had no choice but to leave with Todd. When I returned to the Vale family, Stuart said I did well and promoted me."
"Stuart and Todd never mentioned the Storm family again, and I didn't dare to ask. I still don't know why Stuart wanted to harm Brennan. I was just a pawn in this process, and maybe Todd was too."
"That bastard Todd gets excited by doing such things. He probably didn't know Stuart's real motive either. I'm sorry, Stellan, really sorry!"
Ambrose said to Stellan with deep guilt, "But I never intended to do that. I also never planned to leave without saying goodbye. I didn't expect Todd to suddenly come to Country A and require me to leave with him. Over a year after I returned to the Vale family, I came back to Country A to find you, but they all said you were dead..."
At this point, Ambrose choked up again, confessing to her.
Stellan, however, was at a loss for words. Knowing all this, she just felt utterly pathetic.
All these years, she had misunderstood; she thought Ambrose's sincere love for her
was a facade, and she believed Brennan's suicide was a fabrication.
"I'm sorry, Stellan. I will atone for my sins. I will spend my whole life making it up to you." Ambrose looked at the time and said excitedly, "In ten minutes, the boat will be here. We can leave this place."noveldrama
With that, Ambrose picked Stellan up and started to carry her out. "Ambrose!" Stellan knew that resisting forcefully wouldn't work. Taking advantage of his current guilt, she clung to his hand and pleaded desperately. "Didn't you say you love me? If you love me, let me go, please? I have three children. I can't leave Country A. I'll let you go,j ust let me go, please!"
Ambrose said, "Stellan, if it weren't for you, why would I wait until now? I finally have a chance to be with you, soI will never give you back to Alaric. Be good, Stellan. Come with me. We'll leave Country A and go to a beautiful place. I'll cherish you for a lifetime. I'll spend my whole life making it up to you."
With that, Ambrose carried her out. As soon as they stepped outside, the night sea breeze chilled her to the bone.
Stellan pleaded again, "Ambrose, let me go; let me go!"
Stellan struggled with all her might, but it was useless.
"It's here; it's here!" Ambrose shouted excitedly as he saw a boat approaching from a distance.
Seeing the boat, Stellan suddenly felt a wave of despair. Was she really going to be taken away? Would she never see Alaric, Caspian, Harry, and Elisa again?
No, no, no!
Just then, the sound of helicopter rotors suddenly filled the air above them.
What do you think?
