Chapter 1014

Author: Boat of Peaches
Stella’s pupils shrank slightly as she heard this. She turned to Weston beside her.

Poisoned…?

It sounded like a groundless rumor.

But if it was true that Zachary was poisoned, then anyone in the Ford Mansion could have done it.

Her mind instinctively went to that rabid fan of Guinevere’s who tried to splash acid on her, to the other man who made the rude entrance—suddenly crashing into her room through the window, allegedly losing his footing and falling from above.

The party had been so lively just moments ago, yet they were suddenly told that the party was over. Naturally, this raised many questions.

Weston’s stoic face still displayed little emotion, however. Later, once everything at the mansion had been settled, he got ready to go to the hospital.

Stella had been quiet herself, saying nothing while staying by Weston’s side all the time. In times like these, the last thing she wanted to do was cause him more trouble.

Besides, her own mind was still in chaos. She hardly k

I can't believe you killed off the little boy who could have provided material to the book. So sad.

Why did I come back! Whyyy. I cannot believe you killed off a child. Only Asian books that I have read kill of children as if they are just pawns. I really hate this. Not sure if Stella will come out of this or jail. No different since she is in Weston jail.

    So now, Guinevere’s lost her own child too, Stella thought. She must have finally understood the pain she had to endure back then and finally experienced the excruciating torment that came with the loss of her own child… Even Weston, the person she hated the most, could finally have a taste of what she had gone through.Undoubtedly, the tragedy that had befallen them should have brought her some satisfaction, but she wasn’t the least satisfied. She should have relished in their misery, yet why did she feel so dispirited?Why did she find it so… hard to breathe?She turned around, not wanting to face the tear-filled room, when she bumped into Weston, who had been standing behind her. His tall and sturdy body blocked her like a large mountain.Faced against his wide chest, Stella just stood there, neither saying anything nor trying to leave.After a long while, she finally heard his hoarse voice coming from above her saying, “I’ll let Ben take you to a room so you can get some res

    When she finished talking, she saw that his face had tensed, and he was exuding the air of a man who had been disparaged and belittled. “It must be really nerve-racking when you’re trying to keep a secret from someone… unless you do something about it yourself, right?” Stella replied with a smile. “You must be worried sick every time I contacted Aunt Diana, fearing I’d bring up your past sins to her. It must be hard to bear, huh, knowing that your secret may be exposed any time, that you’ll never be at peace for the rest of your life…”The longer she spoke, the darker Michael’s face turned… and that was when he suddenly grabbed her wrist and yelled, “We need to talk!” When Ben saw this, he immediately headed toward them with his brows frowning deeply.“Just wait for me here,” Stella told Ben. “I’m going to talk to him for a while.”“I can’t do that,” Ben refused. “I must make sure you’re safe, Mrs. Ford!”“You can’t be serious!” Michael snorted. “What’s wrong, my niece? Why do

    Of course, Stella would definitely let Diana know the whole truth once she had the chance.Michael’s face instantly fell when he heard of Stella’s resolve.“Do you think you’re helping her by doing that?” he argued. “Do you think it’ll do her any good if you tell her the truth? I’m telling you, Stella, you’re being selfish!”“There’s no such thing as perfection in this world, yet your aunt is a perfectionist. She’s blissfully unaware now, and she can still get on with her happy life, enjoying her pregnancy before peacefully giving birth to our baby. I will make sure that she remains clueless about this forever!”“As long as I can keep hiding this secret from her for the rest of her life,” he added, “it’ll just be as if my past mistakes never happened!”Stella did not speak for a while and slowly clenched her fists. She could not refute him at the moment, but she couldn’t help but feel contempt for this despicable man.“You clearly should’ve treated her better from the start,” she

    “Don’t be ridiculous…” Michael joined in his wife’s laughter.“Stella just told me,” he continued while shooting Stella a meaningful look, “that both of you have been secretly talking to each other.”“But that’s only because…” Diana abruptly paused mid-sentence, attempting to gauge the expressions on both Michael's and Stella’s faces. A few years ago, when Stella’s parents passed away, Diana came to know that Michael had indeed wronged Stella. Although she was always close to Stella, she couldn’t deny that her husband always stood between them, so even as they were privately talking to each other, Diana would make it a point not to mention Michael.“So what did the doctor say?” Stella changed the subject, looking at Diana’s belly.Diana gently stroked her tummy. Even though it was flat with no visible bump, it still made her glow with bliss to touch her belly.“Both the baby and I are healthy,” she informed Stella. “Although I am a little older now, my body is still healthy, and

    ... Stella got to the room with a mind full of messy thoughts.Ben stood guard at the door. Since it was a private hospital, everything was on the ready to cater to their wealthier clients. In fact, their private wards were no less luxurious than a five-star hotel suite.Stella turned to Ben, and out of nowhere, asked, “Would you rather find out the truth or be blissfully ignorant for the rest of your life?”Ben stared blankly into the air, somewhat bewildered by her question that had come out of the left field. It took him a while to figure out that she was asking about what happened just now.“You’re probably asking the wrong person, Mrs. Ford.”Ben rubbed his nose abashedly and admitted, “I don’t have much experience in love and romance.”Besides, he did not even have an inkling about what they were all talking about just now. It was, after all, none of his business. All he had to do was focus on the tasks Weston Ford had assigned to him and not waste time sticking his nos

    “Okay,” Weston nodded. “I’ll do that. You should get some rest now. I’ll handle everything from here…”“You’ve always been lukewarm when it comes to Zack,” Warren interjected. “How can I trust that you’ll take this matter seriously?!”“Grandpa,” Weston quickly interrupted him. “Zack is a member of the Ford family no matter what. The blood that flowed in his veins flows in mine.”Weston had always been cold and aloof, even with family. He was just never one to express much warmth or affection to anyone.But even he was not so cold-blooded as to turn a blind eye to Zachary’s death.“Good, I hope you remember those words of yours!”Warren’s grief had reached the degree where he could not even shed another tear. With reddened eyes, he stood there trembling, reiterating, “The murderer must be caught! That’ll be the only way my great-grandson can be buried in peace!”After a while, the sound of crying in the room finally faded. Weston sat down on a chair and massaged his brows vigorou

    If only he had restrained himself that night, they would not be in this situation.They wouldn't have made so many mistakes.And so many tragedies wouldn’t have happened.The punch came too late.Weston had sacrificed a lot for the sake of his father, Chris.His father, however, still lacked the self-awareness of a father even after so many years.Chris was hit so hard that his head tilted to one side, and he stumbled backward a few steps.He looked at the empty wall, just like his heart which was hollowed out. It was an unbearable feeling.As the wind blew, he felt a chill in his heart.“What could I have done…”He kept mumbling the same thing. “It has already happened. What else could I have done? Wendy’s heart is not well. Do you want me to confess to her?”The more he said, the more agitated he became. “Guinevere can only have one child in her entire life. She has a rare blood type. It was impossible for her to abort the child, so what else could I do?”“What about now?

    Wendy looked grief-stricken with her downcast eyes. She seemed to have not seen his gaze.Guinevere followed behind them, wiping away her tears continuously.Warren walked directly toward Weston and threw a pile of evidence in his hand into his face. “See for yourself! This is what that good wife of yours did!”The evidence was surveillance camera footage and Zachary’s autopsy report.Weston picked them up and read the diagnosis. “Oleander…”He slowly knitted his brows. The footage showed the scene of Stella feeding something to Zachary.“Do you all suspect her?”His face looked very sick. “There is no way she would poison Zachary.”“It’s not impossible.”Warren interrupted and said sternly, “Are you still going to defend her when the evidence is right in front of you?”He was like a raging lion. “I knew that woman was up to no good. She actually had the guts to harm my great-grandson! She has to bear the consequences!”Weston clenched his fists so hard the blue veins in t

    Stella had rarely ever woken up before him.He had always been terrifyingly strong, but their lovemaking last night must have consumed a lot of his energy, leaving him so tired that he was still sound asleep.She stared at him and suddenly felt like doing something naughty. She pinched his nose and held her fingers there, trying to suffocate him. Unsurprisingly, he soon knitted his handsome brows and quickly woke up.He was surprised to see her mesmerizing eyes as soon as he woke up, which made him pause. He then took her hand into his and kissed it again and again.“Are you okay?” he asked with concern, remembering how wildly he ravaged her last night.She had only been willing to be intimate with him because she was under the influence of a drug, yet he had taken advantage of her and had his way with her over and over again last night.Stella did not speak. Seeing her like that made his expressions turn a little colder. He fell silent for a long time before he got up and sl

    The moment Stella saw him, she flew into his arms and clambered onto his body. She kissed him again and again, trying to search for his breath so she could explore his body even deeper. All she wanted was to let him extinguish the fire burning inside her.Half an hour had passed, and the effect of the drug on her body was its strongest now.Weston swallowed his saliva. Without any hesitation, he pinned her against the bathroom mirror and kissed her vehemently on her face, her shoulders, then her neck.Stella could not stop herself from letting out loud moans. The sounds she produced only drove Weston wilder. Even the corners of his eyes began to turn red now.Luckily, there was still a thread of reason in his mind. He pushed her away and, while panting heavily, asked her, “Who am I, Stella?”But Stella’s mind was occupied with her primal urges. She ignored his question and grabbed his shirt collar, saying, “Let’s do it…” The sight of her filled Weston with a desire to just give

    Weston paused, then simply replied, “Okay.”When he saw her changing into a pair of high heels, he followed her around and asked, “Where are you going?”“Oh, to a private concert.”Then she added, “If you’re going to spend the night here tonight, then please take care of Elias and Emma. But if you have to leave, I’ll ask Roger to come over instead.”“Don’t worry,” he said. “Just go out and enjoy yourself. I’ll be at home and take good care of the kids.”Stella paused suddenly, feeling inexplicably weird about what Weston had just said. It sounded like she was forcing him to stay at home and take care of the kids while she went out to have fun without a care in the world. She turned around to look at Weston, feeling like he was acting like a poor neglected housewife.She shook her head and tried to shake this terrifying thought out of her mind.When they arrived at the concert, Hayden offered his arm to her like a gentleman. They then walked into the private concert together, w

    Stella’s words rendered Weston speechless. She was right. He had been the one to agree to let Stella date other people, so he must seem like a fool saying all those things to her.He withdrew his hands and forced himself to calm down a little. “I have no intention to stand in your way,” he told Stella. “I was only worried about Elias and Emma. Since they’re also here, I think you need to take their feelings into consideration.”The children could sense the strained atmosphere between the adults, so they just waited patiently on the couch with Roger, occasionally poking their heads out to look at their parents.Seeing his kids like that, Weston slowly added, “I’m only here to see the kids, so both of you can go ahead with your date.”Stella said nothing and just took Hayden’s hand and left.When they got downstairs, Hayden glanced at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to just leave him like that?”“I don’t know,” Stella massaged the point between her brows. “I’m not sure wh

    Hayden Quirk arrived half an hour earlier than Stella did on their first date.“You’re much earlier than I expected,” he joked as Stella walked in.Stella was actually on time, but she still felt a little guilty when she saw him already waiting for her when she arrived.“The traffic is terrible today,” she said.“Don’t worry about it,” Hayden said, handing her the menu. “Mr. Ford expected me to wait for you for at least an hour.”“I seriously don’t know what you guys are up to,” she grumbled, exasperated, “but I hope it will at least be over soon. Just don’t drag it out and cause me any trouble.”She ordered a few dishes, then handed the menu back to him. Hayden took it from her, ordered a few more signature dishes that the restaurant was popular for, then looked at Stella with a faint smile.“Did you think this is all just a joke?” he asked.“What else could it be?”“I am serious about this,” he told her, his voice suddenly turning grave. “Since even Mr. Ford agreed that we s

    Weston raised his eyebrows at Ben’s words. “But he’s divorced. He has an ex-wife.”“What’s wrong with having an ex-wife?”Ben found Weston’s comment strange. “This man has good qualities. Upon investigation, he has a very good personality too. He was an active member during college. He also has an amazingly beautiful resume. It’s normal that a man like him has been married before… Besides, hasn’t Ms. Sealey been married before herself? She even has two children.”Weston’s expression turned cold at once. “Are you discriminating against her?”“I’m not.”Weston said, “Or do you think she can only find a divorced man for her second marriage?”Ben panicked. “I wouldn’t dare!”With Weston’s ridiculous amount of nitpicking, they could find no one that would match Stella.Hayden sat beside and quietly reviewed Weston’s latest psychological health report. As he turned the page, he suddenly said, “I’m actually a little interested in Ms. Sealey.”Hayden laughed a little and turned to Wes

    Stella opened her eyes and shot Weston a cold look. Then, she turned her head the other way.Weston did not touch her again. He knew she was probably angry with him, so he stayed silent.A few moments later, he reminded her, “Don’t be angry. That man is unreliable.”Stella propped her chin in her palm. “And what does that have to do with you?”Weston pursed his lips, setting his jaw in a tight line. He said, “I’ve promised to stop pestering you. It’ll be a promise. I’m fine with seeing you with another man, but at least find someone who makes me feel at ease.”“Why do I need your approval when I’m just looking for a date?” Stella found his words funny. “You’re just my ex-husband. Don’t you think you care too much?”Weston rubbed his brow, and his voice suddenly went cold. “If you don’t want me to keep pestering you like I just did, maybe you should listen to me.”Stella questioned, “Are you threatening me?”“No. I’m suggesting.”Stella was lost for words. Then, she suddenly

    Stella froze for a moment when she heard the voice. When she turned around, she saw that Weston had appeared behind her at some point.Weston stared at the man behind Stella with a cold gaze and an icy aura around him. Weston had always emitted a strong aura around him. Anyone who saw him would immediately be terrified because of his intimidating aura.The man froze for a moment at Weston’s sudden appearance. He took a step back and quickly steadied himself before greeting Weston, “Mr. Ford.”He still had the same calm and gentle look. “I’m sending Miss Cicily back.”“I know. Don’t ever show up in front of her again,” Weston told him. “You don’t have to send her back. Stay away from her.”It would be a little inappropriate for the man to act a fool at Weston’s straightforwardness, so he tugged at his collar and asked Weston with a polite smile, “Mr. Ford, you should give me a reason, shouldn’t you? I’m having a good time with Miss Cicily.”“You’re the one who thinks she’s having

    Stella smiled. It seemed like he had come prepared.Stella enjoyed chatting with the man. He was sincere and introduced himself properly as soon as they started chatting.The man was also a pianist and came from a scholarly family. Although not super wealthy, he was doing considerably well in the middle class. Stella would not need to worry about the quality of life with him, but that was about it. She certainly could not live a luxurious life.Stella had a good impression of him. She also talked to him a little more about piano music.Stella twirled her hair and smiled. She told him with a nice voice, “I’m sure Roger has already told you about my situation.”“I know.”The man looked at her gently and set the coffee in front of her. He said to her, “I’m very interested in you. I think we’re very suitable for each other. Our living standards nowadays have improved quite a bit. Not many look for a partner purely because of material qualities. People with emotional needs will search
