Chapter 1050

Author: Boat of Peaches
She used to have a comically whimsical idea that she would carve out her own successful career, then escape Weston Ford’s grasp through the power and reputation she had gained.

But now, when she looked back, she could not help but find the notion silly and naive.

The power gap between them couldn’t possibly be bridged by her individual efforts alone.

It was the same as what happened after Zachary’s death. She had no way to protect herself or fight against those determined to see her getting convicted as Zachary Ford’s murderer. Even Weston didn’t believe that she didn’t kill the boy. Indeed, he was doing all he could to help her escape punishment, but he never truly thought she was innocent.

Stella was inside a quiet private room of a restaurant, contemplating the words she should say and the best way to tell Diana the truth when the door was suddenly pushed open. The person walking in turned out to be Michael Sealey—

“We meet again, Stella.”

Under her surprised gaze, he took a

    In fact, her pale face exposed her true feelings.It was not that she didn’t believe it; she just didn’t want to, nor did she dare to believe it.She had cut ties with Roger, and Weston promised her he would not touch him.She could only endure all these because of her wish for Roger to have a brand new life…How could he die?He would not die.Michael looked at her eyes and suddenly felt pitiful for her. “I am not sure if Weston protects you too well, or he lied to you…”Her gaze sharpened instantly. “What do you mean?”He sighed. “Actually, I have been looking for Roger sometime now…”“Why are you looking for him?!” she interrupted him emotionally.Even though she tried her best to hold back, Michael could easily see the anger in her eyes.She was now like a bowstring that had been stretched to its limit.From the moment she heard of his death, even though she had subconsciously tricked herself into not wanting to believe the news, she was still gradually consumed by her

    Stella looked at the recorder on the table and asked, “Why are you telling me all these?”Michael thought for a while, then sighed and said, “Although you hate me to the core and want Diana to know about those mistakes I made when I was young and brazen, I am still your uncle. And Roger’s as well. He was not your parents’ biological son but watching him grow up, I still have some feelings for him …” “There is no need to say such grandiose things!” Stella snapped; her voice cold and stiff. “What exactly do you want to say? Just say it.”Michael stared into her eyes, knowing that she had reached the limit of repression.He picked up his coffee and took an unhurried sip. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking that I spent so much time finding him, yet all he wants to do is to end himself, so it seems my purpose is defeated…”She remained silent when her face grew paler and paler until it almost became transparent.“Stella, I really don’t want to be in a hostile relationship with you all

    Roger laughed a little. “What I regret most is leaving you rashly out of anger back then and not bidding you a proper farewell.“Sister, I really miss you…“If possible, I’d like to see you again and live with you.“I don’t dare to be greedy, nor do I expect us to be lovers. As long as we stay together as a family, I’ll be satisfied enough.“Thinking of it now, I think I had a hunch at that time, and I told you what I had hidden in my heart. I don’t have any regrets, except that I’ll never get to see you again.”Stella closed her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered wildly, and her whole body shook uncontrollably.“Yesterday, Weston’s men came for me, so I knew something must have happened. He needed me to threaten you to stay by his side.“I really hate myself sometimes for being your dead weight. I said I wanted to make your life better, but I only ended up dragging you down…“How could I let myself be used as a tool to threaten you?“I want so much for you to be happy.“But in th

    Ben froze and was instinctively flustered.Roger was…However, he knew that he couldn’t tell Stella about it, so he could only bite the bullet and lie. “I am not sure myself, but I heard that he’s living quite well abroad…”He touched his nose subconsciously.Stella knew this was a very clear sign of lying.She suddenly could not pretend any longer and asked, “Tell me the truth, Ben. How is Roger now?”He avoided her eyes. “You better ask Mr. Ford about this…”She closed her eyes.His attitude made her heart freeze.“Tell me honestly. Is Roger in trouble? Why are you being so secretive?!”“I really don’t know!”Ben’s tone sounded a little stiff. “If you really want to know, you can ask Mr. Ford. I am really not sure…”She pressed her lips and knew that she would not get a word out of his mouth.“Let’s go back to Stardust Mansion,” she snapped, frustrated.Ben let out a sigh of relief, thinking he’d just survived a close shave. “Sure, let’s go back now.”He even forgot to

    “Is it really you?”Stella couldn’t believe it. “I thought you were in Compassvale!”“I was.” Riley looked at her with a calm face. She displayed no emotion as if she was looking at a stranger.“I come back this time just to tell you something.”Stella clenched her fists as if she knew what Riley would say.“Roger is dead,” Riley stated indifferently.She saw Stella clench her fists quietly until her nails cut into her palms. Stella was shaking, forcing down the redness in her eyes and the turbulent emotions swirling in her heart.“Why don’t you seem surprised?”Stella exhaled. “I know you are joking with me.”She laughed, but the smile on her face was a little awkward.“Did you make a special trip home just to pull a prank on me?”Riley stepped forward. Her eyes were red. “I am not joking with you. You know well enough that I won’t lie about something like this, don’t you?”She grabbed Stella’s shoulders and looked into her eyes. “Roger just died yesterday. Do you know how

    Time crept by at a snail’s pace.If she didn’t go out soon, Ben might notice something.The two regained their composure, and Stella turned on the tap and flushed cold water on her face.She looked up at herself in the mirror with eyes that were still red.Riley inhaled deeply and asked behind her, “Is there anything he left for me?”Stella pondered for a long time. “There is only a recording.”“Was there any mention of me?”Her silence made Riley understand something. She laughed self-deprecatingly. “Perhaps there isn’t.”She murmured with her head lowered. “It’s always been me pestering him, whether studying abroad or something else; it’s always been wishful thinking…”Roger didn’t even leave her a message before he died after all that had happened.Riley had never loved a person so much.Despite all that had happened, she still could not let him go.She felt his pain, and she felt his happiness.The only sound left in the space was the water from the faucet dripping ont

    Ben was already getting anxious as he waited outside, pacing back and forth in front of the car.However, he was relieved when he saw Stella rushing out to him.“Mrs. Ford, can we go now?”She nodded. “Let’s go back.”He gave her a nod, but he had a feeling that something was wrong with her.Although she was already very depressed from the beginning, he felt she looked even worse now, as if her heart had turned into ashes.Everything seemed not to matter to her anymore. There was a kind of desperate silence that could be seen in her.“Is something wrong?” Ben couldn’t help but ask.Stella shook her head. Her expression was so frigid one might even say that it was the epitome of a gloomy day. “It’s nothing. Go back to the villa.”She went to her room as soon as she got out of the car, and Ben immediately told Weston about the incident today.“Nothing happened in particular. It’s just that she doesn’t look very happy.“Mrs. Ford seemed very emotional when she got out of the pr

    “Shut up!” Weston brushed off her hand.His cold, clear eyes were tainted with a murky hostility that would instantly send shivers down the spine.The aura around him suddenly froze over. Standing on the narrow balcony, Guinevere had nowhere to run.“If you don’t know how to shut up, I don’t mind teaching you.”Guinevere’s heart fluttered, but she still bit the bullet and met his cold gaze dead-on. “No, I am going to say it. You know what? When we were filming, when Stella was still Ella at that time, she told me that she stayed by your side just for those benefits you could give her!“What she loves is your status and money!She stepped forward and stared intensely into his eyes, trying to convince him. “She does not love you! Weston, that woman is unlike who we are. She is born lowly; that’s why she is greedy and wants everything!“She stays by your side only for the convenience that you can bring her!”Weston tugged the bowtie around his neck single-handedly to breathe more

    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.
