Lucas looked coldly at her. “Although Guinevere has terminated her engagement with Weston, and your status as Weston’s partner is slowly coming to light, I hope you can spare a thought for your own reputation.”

He paused for a moment before going on, “You’ll be walking down this path from now on. With Weston by your side, he will do all he can to promote you, but you would surely have your past dug up in all its gory details as a public figure. By then, Yvonne would certainly be implicated. She’s rash and quick-tempered, and I don’t want her to be influenced by you.”

It was clear that he cared very much for Yvonne.

Stella’s facial features gentled. “Don’t worry. I don’t wish to see her implicated as well.”

Lucas left.

Stella heaved a sigh of relief as fatigue washed over her.

Thankfully, Michael did not cross paths with her again before the after-party came to a close.

After the event, Stella and Angelina shared a car back to their respective homes. In their hired cab, th

    When they turned at a junction, another black luxury car drove past them. Stella retracted her gaze hurriedly and shrunk back in her seat. She saw Guinevere and Weston seated inside the car. Both of them appeared to be talking about something. Her sudden act of evasion alarmed and puzzled Angelina. She looked out of the window and asked, “What’s the matter? Why did you suddenly hide?” At that moment, she thought she saw the handsome man in that black luxury car look in their direction. Weston and Guinevere weren’t the only ones in the car; Henry was inside with them too. As their childhood friend, he should have been informed beforehand about their decision to break off their engagement. However, Henry was in the hospital receiving treatment during that period and therefore couldn’t be present when it was announced. Recovery and rehabilitation had been a miserable and painful journey for him. He knew that little heartless bodyguard wouldn’t turn back to him on her own

    No wonder Stella shrunk back the moment she saw that car drive past. Turns out, there was a crazy man inside, thought Angelina. The scene of Weston and Guinevere seated together in the car was still playing in Stella’s mind. She suddenly felt tired. She rubbed her temples. “I feel a little unwell. Shall we skip dinner for today?” “Sure.” Angelina instructed the driver to drive to her apartment, after which she bid Stella goodbye before getting out of the car. The engine revved alive again, and the car turned the corner at the junction ahead. After passing a traffic junction, a white car suddenly appeared right before them. Bang! The driver hit the emergency brakes, and Stella lurched forward. Her eyes widened in shock. “What happened?” The driver said, “A car drove right in front of us and forced us to stop.” Stella’s brows furrowed. “Who is it?” “I have no idea…” The driver shook his head, shocked and confused. “I’ll head down to check things out.” He was a

    But given how agitated Henry was, exposing Angelina might bring her trouble… “I was alone in the car,” she said. “You made a mistake; I was the only person in the car all along.” The driver glanced at her, his eyes shifty, but he did not say anything else. Guinevere got out of her car and ran over. She didn’t expect to see Stella and her face turned cold. “What are you doing here?” Stella ignored her and instead turned to look at Weston. “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be off.” Instead of replying to Stella, he said to Guinevere, “Bring Henry back first.” Guinevere stood stunned for a moment before asking in disbelief, “Why? Didn’t we agree to have a gathering between the three of us?” He furrowed his brows. “Next time.” Guinevere couldn’t believe her ears. “Weston…” She stood there watching him take Stella away, showing no concern for her feelings. She went to great lengths to find this opportunity for the three to gather and reminisce on their past memories.

    When the driver glanced at Stella, he knew that Stella wasn’t telling the truth. There was indeed another woman in the car, except that it might not have been Henry’s “Faye.” Stella remained stubborn. “I didn’t lie.” Weston deliberately asked, “Was that woman Faye?” “I don’t know who Faye is! She’s definitely not Faye!” Stella instinctively rebutted. The next second, she realized that her lie was exposed. She paused for a moment before insisting stubbornly, “Henry must have made a mistake…” Weston pinched her chin and turned her face toward him. “Did you know that your eyes turn shifty when you lie?” “They do not!” Stella insisted, but her eyes became even more shifty. Weston chuckled lowly and lifted her chin. He kissed the corner of her lips, “Don’t be so nervous.” His fingers rubbed across her fair, dewy skin. “I know you don’t want to get your friend into trouble. I’m not forcing you to expose her.” “Really? You won’t force me to?” Stella’s eyes shone as she

    Stella was in disbelief. “How could Xavier be willing to kneel here obediently?” “Because of someone that he cannot disobey, of course,” Weston said plainly. “Are you referring to Old Mr. Ford?” Weston pinched her cheeks. “Do you feel better now?” Stella remained silent as she looked at the man in the hall. Xavier knelt in the middle of the hall, looking utterly displeased. But, despite his clear reluctance, he didn’t dare to disobey and knelt with his torso stock straight. Old Mr. Ford sat right opposite him, glancing at him once in a while as he sipped on his tea to check if he was kneeling properly. Occasionally, he would put his teacup down and pick on Xavier’s posture in a nasty and incisive tone. Elders like him were excellent at insulting others without the use of profanity. It must feel pretty good to be able to do so, Stella thought. She was curious, “How did you manage this? I remember that Old Mr. Ford dotes on Xavier very much.” Even when he broke off

    He could barely accept Zeta speaking up for Ella and gave her the benefit of the doubt that she might have misjudged the kind of person Ella was. That would have been understandable. What’s more, for all he knew, Zeta might have done it out of spite toward him and deliberately ganged up with that woman against him. But Old Mr. Ford was an intelligent and sharp man. Why would he bother speaking up for Stella? Old Mr. Ford furrowed his brows and said sharply, “Who asked you to stand up?” Xavier knelt back down reluctantly. “Whatever it is, stay here and reflect upon your mistakes! When you’ve thought things through, call me.” With that, Old Mr. Ford stood up and left. Stella instinctively turned to her side. Weston held his arm around her waist and waited outside the hall. Old Mr. Ford appeared to have expected their arrival as he glanced carelessly at them. “Have you had enough of the excitement?” Stella felt incredibly awkward and uneasy, as if she had been caught eav

    ... Very soon, Xavier found out that Weston had been the one behind his punishment. At the Ford Corporation building. When Xavier arrived, Daisy led the way as usual. Seeing him come in a huff, she asked, “What happened?” “Don’t get in my way.” Xavier did not spare her so much as a glance and pushed her away, walking ahead by himself. “Were you the one behind the old man punishing me?” He shut the door with a slam, effectively stopping Daisy from coming in or listening in on them. Daisy looked at the tightly shut door, and her face changed, feeling as if she had been shut out from his world. During this period of being with him, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that she just couldn’t understand this man. Yet, she couldn’t stop herself from trusting him… In the office. Weston seemed to have expected his arrival. He covered the lid of his pen leisurely and asked, “What are you referring to, specifically?” He carefully buttoned up his sleeve. His jet-black

    Daisy had no clue about what was going on in the office, and her face was dark and solemn. When Xavier left the office, she noticed that his mood had turned remarkably better. So she plucked up her courage and asked, “What exactly happened just now?” Xavier looked at her, “Nothing…when are you knocking off from work today? Let’s go on a date.” Daisy finally relaxed upon seeing his fine mood. Thus, curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, “I saw you charging in so furiously, and I was worried… it’s good that you two didn’t start fighting.” Xavier smiled as he recalled how Weston’s eyes turned cold. It eased the tension in his chest, and he considered himself avenged. … The office was in a wreck. When Ben walked in with documents in hand, he saw shattered glass all over the floor and got a shock, uncertain as to what made Weston so furious. “Mr…. Mr. Ford…” Ben saw the fearsome look on Weston’s face and didn’t dare ask any further. He put down the documents and s

    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.
