Chapter 985

Author: Boat of Peaches
Just then, the bodyguards and the housekeeper rushed into the room—

“What’s the matter, Mrs. Ford?”

“What happened here?!”

The housekeeper had worked at the Ford Mansion for many years, and the second he saw Wendy collapse on the sofa, he hurriedly rushed over. “Madam! Did you have another heart attack?”

This revelation surprised Stella. She asked Wendy, “So you have… heart disease?”

Wendy nodded. By now, she had calmed down significantly.

“I’ve had it for many years now,” she explained.

She then turned to the housekeeper. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Stella has given me my medicine.”

“Thank goodness…” The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze turned towards the stranger in the room, then frowned and asked sternly, “What’s going on here?”

That plump man had been stunned because of Wendy’s sudden heart attack, but he came back to his senses upon hearing the housekeeper’s sharp voice.

“I’m sorry, boss. I slipped and fell just now…”

The housekeeper looked around to evaluat

    Weston made Stella stand up. She glanced at her potted plants destroyed by the man who fell in earlier and became somewhat distressed.“The soil is full of broken glass…” she grumbled.“Let others deal with it.”Weston’s eyebrows twitched when he saw that she was about to clean up the soil with her bare hands. With a much sterner voice, he told her, “Stop. You’ll hurt your hands.”He forbade her from doing anything else and pulled her away.“Did you get hurt just now?”“No,” she shook her head. “I didn’t.”She then paused to think before asking, “Does your mom have a heart disease?”“Yeah,” he answered briefly, casting his eyes down at her. “She’s had it for many years.“We’ll move to another room,” he told her as he led her to the bathroom. “Someone will come and move our stuff later. Right now, you should wash all the dirt off your paws.”Weston was a notorious neat freak. In fact, he was almost at his limit when he had to suppress his revulsion while holding her dirty ha

    Weston said nothing. He leaned against her face, and kissed her a few times before murmuring, “Once we get to the new room, you can rest for a little longer before the dinner happens, okay?”The tone of voice that he used suggested tender intimacy, as if they were a loving married couple. They both had something in common—they were both excellent pretenders. Even though their relationship was so damaged that it was like a ship riddled with holes, as long as Weston was willing, they could easily put up an act and pretend that they were deeply in love with each other.Stella nodded and replied, “Okay.”… The staff who were supposed to help them move their stuff had been waiting outside. Stella frowned as she watched them move her potted plants from the balcony.“Let me handle that one,” she told them.She looked at her oleander plant worryingly, fearing that they might damage it somehow. “It looks like you care a lot about that plant,” Weston stated as he held her waist.

    Once the staff had moved everything upstairs, Stella immediately closed the door. Within a quarter of an hour, the extremely efficient crew had cleared up the old room and moved everything to the new room upstairs.The Ford Mansion was so massive that it contained hundreds of rooms. Because of Weston’s obsession with cleanliness, he would never stay in a room that had been used before. Luckily, very few had ever been to the upper floors of the Ford Mansion. The suites there were also brighter and more spacious than the ones below. The potted plants were arranged on the balcony of the new room just as they were previously. Stella walked over to the oleander plant, kneeled down, and carefully observed it. Some promising flower buds had already shown themselves. After tonight, they would all be in full bloom.With that in mind, she plucked one, careful not to touch the moist sap on it, and calculated how many she would need to have enough poison to kill an adult.How many she w

    Stella had only ever seen such a long table on TV. She never thought that there were people who would use it in real life.But the Fords were a large family that numbered in multitudes. Once all were at the table, Weston introduced some of his relatives to her. Stella, in turn, greeted them all politely.Clearly, they were all curious about her, though they maintained a friendly and courteous demeanor in front of her.Wendy made sure to express her satisfaction with her new daughter-in-law. The words she said were obviously a hint that the others should treat Stella well and build a good relationship with her.These people were all shrewd by nature and knew exactly how to read expressions.If there was one person there who clearly wore a forced smile, it was probably Guinevere.With Warren Ford there, she could just barely concoct a reason to join the family dinner. Besides, she was also Zachary Ford’s biological mother, and since she was taking care of him today, it seemed rea

    It all happened so suddenly that no one had the time to react. There was a sizzling sound coming from that glass bottle. Stella’s eyes widened—At that critical moment, she had a hunch that the liquid inside the bottle was acid!She could only watch as the liquid was hurled toward her. There was no way that she could escape it now. The man was obviously aiming it at her. The last thing she saw before she could react was seeing the liquid coming at her head-on. “Aaaah!” a piercing scream rang through the hall—The whole table was turned into chaos.Everyone there could only watch as it happened in front of their eyes. None of them moved or reacted.Just as Stella had lost all hope, a tall figure cropped up by her side—Without the least hesitation, Weston grabbed Stella’s shoulders and turned her around, locking her in his arms.The pain that Stella expected to feel never came…She shut her eyes tight, but she heard Weston grunt above her. Then she felt his grip around her s

    She heard Weston from above her head, saying in a low voice.“But…” Stella said quietly. It was as if she didn’t want to alert the bystanders. “You are hurt, aren’t you?”He said nonchalantly, “It’s just a minor thing. Don’t worry about it.”He pressed her back. “Were you hurt?”She shook her head.She was completely untouched.He had protected her so well that not once inch on her skin had been scathed.She could clearly feel his tense body easing a little when she responded.With his big warm palm caressing her back gently, he didn’t fail to comfort her. “Don't be scared. No one will hurt you now.”She clutched his suit jacket hard with trembling hands.The sudden attack hadn’t only left her terrified but left many complicated and indistinguishable feelings inside her.She did not expect that he would stand in front of her without a second thought.Even she knew that the bottle that the man held might contain acid.The thought would’ve surely crossed his mind, yet he sti

    Even the toughest-talking man could not resist the tactics of Wenton’s man.“I do have accomplices, but we're all huge fans of Gwen…” the man confessed with conviction. “But I’m the only one willing to put myself before Gwen!”“You lie!”Guinevere, who was sitting at the table, jumped to her feet and retorted vehemently. “You need evidence when you say stuff like that. Don’t utter slander as you like!”The interrogation just now had been carried out in clear sight of all.This man appeared when everyone was eating, which meant he was most likely related to one of the people present. Such a situation was not uncommon for all who were present.As long as personal interests were involved, all sorts of thrilling surprises could happen.A number of people even started wondering if the man’s words held any truth in them.The man looked at Guinevere in pain. “I am sorry, Gwen. I didn’t mean to fail… I know you probably wouldn’t be happy if I did something like this, but I really don

    But she did not expect that these fans would be so stupid!Didn’t they know that their action would only bring her bad influence?These were all her fans. Once they investigated the matter, the blame would surely be on her.She looked at Weston anxiously. “Weston, I really didn’t know they’d do this. Trust me. I’d never do such a thing…”At that moment, the man simply ignored her.Stella could feel Weston’s increasingly rigid force.She said with a trembling voice, “Call the doctor first. He’s been doused with acid…”“What?”Warren jumped to his feet in a flash. “Why didn’t you say anything?!”He looked very anxious, but more than that, he was angry.Stella was about to open her mouth when Weston nudged her back gently.Then, he turned his head to Warren. “Grandfather, I am fine. Let’s take care of this first.”He rubbed her head, hinting for her to shut up.He knew she was stunned. If they continued to pursue the matter, Warren might be angry with her again.Warren had r

    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.
