Chapter 1023

Author: Boat of Peaches
Warren did not even look at him and went straight to Stella. “Get her!”

Stella stood up slowly. Warren’s eyes were full of resentment when he looked at her.

It confused her. “What happened?”

Ben was the first to react and stood in front of her. “Mr. Warren, what’s going on?”

“Get out of my way! Drag that woman out!” Warren ordered, his voice still as cold.

Ben raised his guard immediately. “What exactly happened here, Mr. Warren?”

Seeing that he was in the way, Warren frowned. “Get out of my way! Don’t make me do the same thing to you!”

His men obviously outnumbered Ben’s. Ben was a little confused. “Mr. Warren, I don’t wish to disobey you, but I need to heed Mr. Ford’s orders. If you don’t tell me what happened, I’m afraid I can’t let you take her…”

“This woman poisoned Zack. She killed my great-grandson. I want her to pay for it with her life!”

Hearing that, Ben widened his eyes at once and retorted instinctively. “It is impossible. There must be a mistake somewhere…”

    Stella looked up at her. “I know. You can ask me anything.”Warren had nearly everything under his control. In the end, it was Ben who got her a reliable lawyer.Tina fixated her eyes on her for a moment and frowned, suspecting this would be a tricky case. “Are you repulsed by me because of my relationship with Justin?”At times, the world was such a small place. After everything had happened, it was she who became Stella’s lawyer.Stella and Juston almost got married at one point, but due to Weston’s aggressive interference, they stopped contacting each other.Stella shook her head. “I don’t mind. I’m not in a relationship with Mr. Hall.”Tina smiled in response. “Me too. Apart from having a child together, I am only his ex-wife. And now, you can consider me a professional lawyer, so I hope you can put aside our conflict and work this out together.”Stella nodded.Tina was perplexed to see her unusually calm demeanor. “You are now being charged with intentional homicide…”“I

    Ford Corporation owned a whole team of lawyers. Tina, on the other hand, had a good reputation in the field and was very competent, not to mention she was the only one who dared to take Stella’s case.She was outnumbered, but there was nothing to be concerned about.With clenched fists, Chris growled, “I will make that woman pay!”Wendy sighed. “But she is family, regardless. If this is known to the public…”“What are you scared of? Why should she be afraid of criticism when she dares to do such a thing?”Chris said through gritted teeth, “We must make Weston divorce her. We should never have allowed her to marry into our family in the first place!”Restless and emotionally charged, the two showed signs of getting into an argument.Warren chided. “Enough! This whole thing is frustrating enough. Do I still have to listen to your argument?”He looked at Guinevere, who was silent. “Why won't you say anything?”Guinevere shook her head. Her eyes were red, and she was in a daze.C

    Bang!The hard kick caused the iron door to creak and shake.Immediately, the voice of the guard outside could be heard.“Sorry, Mr. Ford. Mr. Warren says that you’ll have to be here for the time being…”“Open the door.”His words were few but stern. “Don’t force me.”The smell of blood in the room was heavy.There were all sorts of tools for enhanced interrogation around him, used to pry open the mouths of corporate spies who stole confidential information from the company.This put the guards outside in a difficult position.They did not dare to offend both Weston or Warren.“Mr. Ford, it’s Mr. Warren’s order. We do not dare to disobey him…”Weston rubbed his glabella. He felt a faint ache in his waist and abdomen.Ignoring it, he said impatiently to the people outside, “Get out of the way.”Before they could understand what he meant, they heard a loud bang—followed by a heavy sound from the door.“Mr. Ford, what are you doing?!”“Mr. Ford…”They panicked and stared a

    When she finished, she saw the sudden burst of anger in Weston’s eyes.His intense ruthlessness swept over her, sending chills down her back.The man pressed his thin, knifelike lips into a straight line as he uttered icily, “She would not do such a thing.”“Face reality!”Guinevere shouted, her eyes red. “It is more than normal that she would hate Zack in her position. She can’t have a child on her own anymore, so she despises mine…”Weston suddenly grabbed her neck. The veins in his temples and the back of his hands bulged and throbbed, making him look like a devil from hell.“I repeat myself. I don’t want to hear such a claim anymore.”Her eyes snapped wide open in fear. They were, in fact, bloodshot.She slapped his palm hard. The suffocation drove away the air from all directions.As the overhead light blinded her, she could also smell the stench of death.She looked at the man in front of her quietly and then swept a glance at the guards behind him.The men behind him

    Weston’s eyes stiffened sharply, and he pressed his fingertips until they turned white.At Weston’s silence, Warren knew that Weston did not believe him. “I retrieved the surveillance camera footage. Just before Zack was poisoned, she fed him something! It must be something that she brought out of her room. No matter the timing or the action, everything matches! How long do you want to defend her?”Weston remained silent for a long time.Looking at the evidence in his hands, his eyes were smeared with a frosty layer of decay.“Where is she?” he asked with a husky voice.Warren instantly knew he had achieved his purpose.He patted him on the shoulder. “That’s your son, your own son! Don’t let everyone get cold feet over a woman.”Weston closed his eyes and took a deep breath.“Where the hell is she?”…In the interrogation room, Stella had a long dream.In the dream, she was covered in blood, lying on the cold ground, and looking up at the sky.It was the same dream again—th

    Weston froze, looking uncertain for a moment.Then, he pulled Stella into his arms and kissed her forehead. “It’s alright. I’m here.”The man tilted her face and looked at her. “Did they hurt you?”She shook her head. “They just locked me up, and they keep saying that I killed someone…”She clutched the corner of his shirt hard, tightening her grasp gradually. Trust me. I didn't…”Weston didn’t answer and simply patted her back. “I have hired a team of lawyers to exonerate…”Hearing this, she looked at her in shock. “Exonerate? I am not guilty! You don’t believe me as well?”“That’s not important.”He avoided her eyes and tucked her messy hair behind her ears to reveal her small face. “I will ask the lawyers to communicate with you later. Even with all that evidence, they still cannot convict you. However, you must fully cooperate with the lawyers.”“You don’t believe me, do you?” Stella interrupted and fixed her gaze on him. “Do you also think that I killed Zachary?”He look

    Tina frowned and sized up the man. “If she really did that, do you still want to clear her name?”“That’s none of your concern.”Weston’s eyes flashed a hint of impatience. “The sky-high legal fee Ford Corporation is paying you, and the reputation your firm will be getting from this should be enough for you to give it your all.”“Certainly. We are professionals,” Tina said. “We will do our best to fulfill your request."“Don’t let me down.”…It didn’t take long for Stella to look at the man who had gone and returned.Weston did not look as if he had any excessive emotions and walked up to her as usual and held out his hand to her. “Come with me. I’ll take you home.”Stella’s eyes were hollow. “I heard from the lawyer that there is no bail for criminal cases.”He held her hand straightaway. “You don't have to worry about that. Just come with me.”She stood up, but her legs gave out. She obviously had little energy left.Weston picked her up and brought her out of the police

    Weston had Stella seated in the back seat.He had switched to a Maybach with plenty of room for two people. He reached out, took off his jacket, and threw it at his feet.Stella finally looked at him and realized that he wasn’t shaved. With stubbles around his mouth, he looked tired and haggard.Weston noticed her gaze and looked down at her. “What’s wrong?”Stella said, “I didn’t kill anyone.” She suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his shirt. Perhaps it was the way Weston protected her from those attacks; the way he defended her, reminded her of the day he had saved her from the acid attack without hesitation.‘Did you believe in me?’ she wondered.“I really didn’t,” she repeated again stubbornly.Weston had an unreadable emotion on his face. He did not say he believed her, but he did not refute her either.He exhaled and looked at her with a serious face. “Stella, this is a serious matter. You have to tell me the truth. Did you know? The oleanders you have are hig

    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
