Ch. 1021..1030
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1021
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?”
Weston turned to look at him and said sarcastically, “
That child who could not be aborted is now gone. Everything and everyone that could keep her secret intact is gone as well.”
He looked at Chris as if the latter was a clown. “Until now, you are unrepentant and insist on hiding it?”
“You can’t do this to me,” Chris pleaded. “I am your father. Zack is dead. I cannot afford to lose anyone else.”
Weston massaged his wrist. For a brief moment, he felt a deep disgust and revulsion toward his father. He looked at the face that bore great similarity to his, and his blood overflowed with disgust.
“You are the most unqualified person to question me.”
Why didn’t Chris know that?
He lowered his head and could only use the promise to suppress him. “Weston, you promised me that you would treat Zack as your own son. You could not do this…”
“What else do I have to do?”
Weston gazed at him and moved forward.
His dark eyes were overwhelmed with hidden madness.“
How far should I go for such an absurd lie?”
He was never like this, on the verge of losing control.” Can’t you see how much I have lost?”
His only child was long dead. The child disappeared alongside Stella’s feelings for him. No one had ever told him who was going to make up for his loss.
Zachary’s death was like a key that unlocked the door that stood between them.
All his emotions escaped his heart.
Weston gazed fiercely at the man in front of him, but his tone was cold and calm. “What else do you want from me? Tell me.”
Chris sat on the floor in dismay, as if he had been drained of his energy. He seemed undeterred and muttered, “You are at least still with Stella… Now that Zack is dead, shouldn’t she be very happy?”
“Shut up!”
Weston interrupted him coldly. “She is different from you all. Even if she hates a person, she would not do such a thing!”
“You were fooled by that woman!”
Warren’s voice suddenly came. He coughed violently a few times when walking toward the two people step by step with the help of Wendy. Chris’ face stiffened, and he stood up, wondering how much of their conversation they had just overheard. He looked over at Wendy subconsciously. “Wendy…”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1022 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 the dorsal side bulged. His eyes were filled with frost.
Just as he was about to say something, Warren suddenly moved forward and lifted his shirt.
The large scar due to the acid splash plunged into view, leaving everyone gasping in shock.
“I knew you were injured!”
Warren’s eyes widened, and his face was full of disappointment and anger. “You were clearly hurt when you defended Stella from that attack! You pretended to be fine because you feared I would take it out on her, didn’t you?”
Weston remained quiet. There was a fierce storm in his eyes.
He looked hard at the old man in front of him.” Grandfather, the poisoning has nothing to do with her.”
“Shut up! How long are you going to protect her?”
Warren suddenly raised his walking stick and struck him hard. “How long will you continue to be unrepentant ?”
Crack
He used his full strength until they could hear it hitting the bone.
Weston only snorted and frowned slightly, but his face remained unchanged when he insisted, “It must be a misunderstanding…”
“The evidence is all here. How much more evidence do you need to believe that this woman is a scourge?”
“Grandfather…”
Weston had just opened his mouth when he suddenly
grunted again. The sound of a wooden stick hitting the body was strikingly clear.
Warren took advantage of his inattentiveness to let someone knock him out with a stick.
Chris was shocked and looked at Warren in confusion.“ Father, what is all this about?”
“Can’t you understand? As long as he is here, he will definitely take Stella’s side. I will not allow the person who killed my great-grandson to get away with it!”
His expression was extremely gloomy. “Lock him up! Don’t let him out until the matter is finished!” 1
Chris understood what he meant, and his face turned dark. “I understand…”
When he looked at Weston, who had fainted on the ground , his eyes darkened, and he heaved a heavy sigh.
A long time had passed. Stella still had not heard from Weston.
She wanted to ask Ben, but her room door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.
She stood up instinctively and looked in the direction of the door, only to see Warren walking in with a group of people. “Drag her out!”
Ben stood up automatically and was a bit stunned to see Warren barging in. “Mr. Warren…”
“Get out of the way!”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1023 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…”
After saying that, he looked at Stella. Stella stood up in shock. “Poisoning?” Warren snorted when he saw her puzzled face. “Your acting is rather good. Keep on pretending!” She calmed herself down and knitted her brows. “Should I accept it when you slander me for no reason???”
“Shut up!!!”
Warren‘s eyes burned with rage. “You are nothing but a vile sorceress! Weston even blocked the acid attack, but what did you do? You killed his son!”
“I did not.”
She took a deep breath, and her body was shaking. “Why do you identify me as the killer when you have no evidence whatsoever?”
He sneered. “Of course, there is. It‘s just that I have handed it over to the police. You just wait for your doom!”
While he said that, a group of police officers suddenly appeared behind him.
“Ms. Sealey , you are being suspected of murder. Please come with us to help with the investigation.”
Everything happened so quickly that Ben had no time to react.
“Mr. Warren, there must be a mistake . How could Mrs. Ford possibly…” Before he could finish, he realized that no one was listening to him, so he asked, “Where is Mr. Ford?”
Warren swept a cold glance at him. “Don‘t think that he will come and rescue her. She killed his son! He will never look at this ruthless woman again!”
She paled.
The police were already standing in front of her. “Please cooperate, Ms. Sealey.”
She looked at them. Knowing they were ready to pin her down, she complied with the men in a hoarse voice.“ Okay, I will go with you. “I believe you will have the truth…” “Cut the crap!” Warren shouted, “Bring her away. She shall die for her sin!!! Stella, I want you to rot in jail for the rest of your life!”
****
Stella sat quietly in the small room. She did not say much during the whole process, finding the situation somewhat ridiculous and ironic.
In fact, she had imagined herself being held in the lockup some time ago.
The only difference at that time was that she thought she would be charged with Weston‘s murder, not Zachary‘s.
She smiled self–deprecatingly.
Right then, a lawyer came in. “Ms. Sealey , what are you smiling at?”
She shook her head. “Nothing. I just thought of something funny.”
The woman in front of her turned grave. “Ms. Sealey. This is a very serious charge. I hope you will cooperate with me.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1024 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 know,” said Stella, “but I didn‘t do it.” “That‘ll have to depend on the evidence.” Tina said helplessly, “The plaintiff‘s side seems to have persuasive evidence and confidently claims that you killed someone intentionally.” Stella frowned and repeated, “I didn‘t.”
Seeing her response, Tina fell silent for a moment, then said, “I didn‘t plan to take your case at first.”
Because of the matter between Stella and Justin, Weston once threatened them with Bryce.
Tina was disgusted with the kind of people who used power to suppress people. “But I heard that Warren is looking for ways to suppress you by not letting those lawyers take your case. Your situation is very critical …”
She paused for a moment and asked, “I wonder where Weston is.”
If she fought against Warren alone, she was sure she had little chance of winning.
However, she married Weston only some time ago. Since everyone witnessed their grand wedding, Weston shouldn‘t just leave her alone.
“Who knows?” Stella stretched the corner of her lips.“ Maybe he thinks that I am the murderer.”
Tina sighed. “All I can tell you is that there is no way to get bail in a criminal case. You can only stay here for now. And since I took your case, I‘ll do my best to keep you safe, but I need to make sure of one thing. Did you have anything to do with Zachary‘s death?”.
Stella raised her head and looked into her eyes. She uttered word by word.
“I have no intention to kill him.” “Okay.” Tina nodded. “I will do my best.”
The evidence was ready, and the prosecution could soon proceed with their charge.
Warren sat in the middle of the hall with a sullen face.
Wendy and Chris sat by his sides. No one spoke.
Only Guinevere was still wiping away tears with her head down.
“Stop crying!” Warren snapped. “You are bothering me.”
Zachary‘s death had hit everyone hard. Warren felt heartbroken just thinking about it.
The only thing he could do now was to take out all his anger on Stella
It was the only way he could divert his attention a little.
“Do everything you can to give this woman the death penalty, and if you can‘t, make sure she stays in jail for the rest of her life!” “Yes, Mr. Warren.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1025 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. Chris spoke for her immediately. “She must be grief stricken. Give her some time. She needs rest…”
He was concerned for her, worried that the matter would stimulate her.
What if she recalled everything that happened in the past? What should he do?
Would she tell the truth?
Wendy swept a glance at the two. Her heart was numb, and even the sarcasm disappeared.
It was just that she felt complicated when looking at Guinevere‘s eyes.
This woman was way more terrifying than she thought.
Warren did not notice their gestures and said in a hoarse voice, Send more men over to Weston, don‘t let him get out.”
Hearing his name, Guinevere raised her head. “How is he? Is he alright…”
She wiped her tears. “Zack is his son after all… I want to be with him.”
Warren said coldly, “He only has that Stella on his mind right now. Letting him out now will be allowing him to go and defend her!”
Guinevere stood up. “I‘m sure he‘s not that kind of person.”
Coming to Weston‘s defense, she explained, “The evidence is right before our eyes. Even if he loves her very much, he will not side with Zack‘s murderer…”
“Then what do you want?” asked the old man impatiently. “I want to see him,” Guinevere continued. “He is just not good at expressing himself. I know he loves Zack.”
Warren waved his hand. “Whatever. Go if you want, but you have to be careful not to let him escape.”
“I understand…” Guinevere nodded with a heart filled with indescribable emotions.
Zachary‘s death was too much for her to bear. She needed someone to comfort her.
The first person she thought of was Weston, but all he could think about was how to get Stella off the hook.
Only then did she realize that his affection for Stella was deeper than she thought.
All the more, she had to make him believe that it was Stella who had killed their child!
She just didn‘t believe that even such a big blow was enough to bring Stella down. In the basement of the mansion, Weston woke up in darkness.
He figured out where he was the moment he opened his eyes.
The basement was a place for interrogation. Powerful families like theirs would ambush victims and use special methods to interrogate these people in secret. Regardless , he did not expect that he‘d wake up in this place one day.
He laughed sarcastically and walked to the door. His eyes darkened, and he kicked it hard.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1026 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 at the rickety door.
Weston kicked the door again and again. Loud, shrill shrieks from the metal door followed
The heavy door rattled and seemed like it would fall soon.
He was surrounded by a hostile aura, and with eyes glowing red, he was not unlike a wild monster that could not be tamed.
When Guinevere came, this was what she saw.
She walked through the long dark corridor to the entrance of the basement and saw the huge door wailing in pain and was about to be kicked open by the person inside.
“What is going on?” She looked flustered and took a few steps forward.
“Ms. Cohen , Mr. Ford said he was coming out, then he started kicking the door…” Guinevere widened her eyes. “Then why don‘t you open it? If he keeps kicking it, he will be hurt!”
The few guards exchanged glances, wondering if they should listen to her.
Warren‘s order to them was to guard Weston properly and not let him out.
The loud banging continued in front of them as the door shook so violently it was as if there was an angry beast locked in the room.
Anxiety filled Guinevere’s mind and said to them hurriedly, “Warren sent me. Open the door quickly. He will be hurt if you keep waiting, and we shall see if you can afford the responsibility!”
After she said that, the two guards finally opened the door. At the same time, Weston had nearly succeeded in kicking the door open
He got out with a cold face and walked away without even looking at Guinevere.
Guinevere froze for a moment before she came to her
senses, ran forward, and stood in front of him.
“What are you doing, Weston? Where are you going?”
“Get out of my way.” He shrugged her off and walked straight out the door.
His eyes were bleeding, and Guinevere could not catch up with him. “Calm down, Weston. What do you want to do?”
“It has nothing to do with you.” The man brushed her hand away coldly.
She stopped in her track and suddenly hugged him tightly. “Are you going to save Stella? I won‘t let you do that…”
She choked back her tears and said, “She killed Zack, and the evidence is solid! She should pay for the murder with her life, and I won‘t allow you to disregard your son‘s life
for such a woman…”
“It has nothing to do with you.” The man brushed her hand away coldly.
She stopped in her track and suddenly hugged him tightly. “Are you going to save Stella? I won‘t let you do that…”
She choked back her tears and said, “She killed Zack, and the evidence is solid! She should pay for the murder with her life, and I won‘t allow you to disregard your son‘s life for such a woman…”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1027 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 hesitated. They did not dare to move due to the fear of the ruthless aura that now surrounded Weston.
She was almost fainting. Her fear of death caused her to show trepidation, and she pleaded for mercy.
She looked at his bloodshot eyes and stopped resisting . With a trembling voice, she said, “Kill me… Even if you… kill me. It won’t change reality…”
His gaze changed immediately , and he suddenly threw her aside and marched out.
In the tea room of the mansion, Warren was sitting at the tea table, looking somewhat disheveled.
His hands had somehow lost their energy to move, and as he gazed at the teaware he used for his favorite pastime, his heart felt numb.
The moment he closed his eyes, he would see Zachary’s mischeviousness, and his heart would ache.
“Mr. Warren, Mr. Ford is coming…” the man outside informed him hurriedly.
He looked up and knitted his brows, looking rather dissatisfied. “Didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on him?”
The man retreated to the side sheepishly.
They were told to guard him, but their capability didn’t seem to match up to the task.
Who knew Weston would be so crazy?
He was hostile to the point of killing someone.
They didn’t dare to stop him, nor were they strong enough to.
The moment Warren withdrew his gaze, he heard an icy voice.
“I want to see her, Grandfather.”
Warren looked in the direction of the voice, and his eyes met with Weston’s.
One’s eyes were filled with weariness and hurt feelings, and the other with anger and urgency.
“Where is she now?”
“All you ask about is that woman the moment you came out! Stella so deeply blinds you!”
Warren said with immense disappointment, “Even Zack’s death couldn’t make you see her for what she really is.”
“Things aren’t clear yet….
“Not yet? The evidence is right before your eyes!”
Warren shouted sternly, “I know you would take her side, which is why I locked you up. When things come to light,
and you see her for who she truly is, I’d let you go. However, it does not seem necessary now.” He stepped forward. “She would not do such a thing.” The man’s eyes were so red they seemed to be bleeding. Warren seemed very disappointed and closed his eyes.“ See for yourself. These are the evidence.”
He stood up trembling , despite the help of his walking stick. “The report said Zack died from the toxicity of oleander . Think about it—who has been holding those pots for the past few days – and who had the oleander?”
Warren opened his eyes and looked at him steadily. “I’ve already had someone investigate . One of those pots she has on the balcony is oleander, and it happens to be blooming!”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1028 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-the nightmare of that night when Weston abandoned her on the balcony.
Now, this nightmare was re-enacted once more.
She saw him holding Guinevere’s hand and looking at her with an inexpressible look of disappointment. Then, he left.
Stella kept trying to explain, but could not make a sound.
She wanted to say that it was not her.
She did nothing. How could she possibly kill an innocent child?
But no one listened to her.
Guinevere’s laughter was heard from a distance. Then, she told her with a victorious voice, “Even if I didn’t have a child, and my child was dead, you still can’t beat me!”
This dream lasted for too long.
So long that she thought it was real.
She could not help but recall the day she met Weston for the first time…
In fact, she had actually fallen for him for a long time.
This crush had lasted for umpteen years, so when he proposed to her, she did not hesitate to say yes.
It was a dream come true for her, but little did she expect that she would have to pay such a heavy price for her fluke.
She was so tired.
She did not want to go on anymore.
The only thing that had been holding her up was Roger. She lived like a walking corpse by Weston’s side, and only the knowledge that Roger was safe could give her a little comfort.
But now, with so many accusations weighing on her, she could not even iron out the personal issues that plagued her life.
She seemed to have used up all of her luck when she met him, where it was all a never-ending nightmare and darkness after that. “Stella…”
A familiar voice rang in her ears, with a faint patchouli scent filling her nose.
The man’s voice was so melodic.
Stella liked the piano and had been keen on music since she was a child. To her, Weston’s voice was like a high quality bass that ran deep and heavy, and it was a pleasure to listen to.
But at that moment, it was like the voice of a devil.
She snapped her eyes open and broke into a cold sweat. “I didn’t kill him…”
The first thing she said when she grabbed his hands was, “I didn’t kill him.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1029 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 looked at her sullenly. “I told you, it’s not important.”
He cupped her face. “The most important thing now is to clear your name. I don’t care or want to care about the rest.”
She suddenly started laughing. “Haha.. hahaha…”
She looked at the man in front of her with teary eyes. “I am so moved. How could you love me so much? You love me so much that you want to clear my name even after I killed your son…”
“Don’t be like this, Stella…”
Still cupping her face, Weston wiped away the tears from her eyes with his thumb. “Make sure you tell the lawyers that you did not kill him.”
“I didn’t kill him in the first place!”
He pressed his forehead against hers. “Tell them later.”
His voice was low as usual, but her heart sank when she heard what he said. “You still don’t believe me. You still think that I killed him… You are doing this now just to exonerate me…”
“Stella.”
He lifted her chin and made her look straight into his eyes. “That’s not important. Look at me. We will talk about it later, okay?”
Stella shook her head and stopped talking.
With lips tightly stuck together, her face was so pale that it was almost transparent.
He fixed his gaze on her with his deep eyes.
After a while, he stood up. “Let the lawyers in.”
Tina was flipping through the documents in her hands outside the interrogation room when Weston walked to her and looked at her condescendingly.
“How do you view your chances of success?”
Tina stood up and frowned. “In my experience, a complete acquittal would be unlikely. The evidence indicates that Ms. Sealey is the culprit. However, if we tackle the case from the point of involuntary manslaughter, we may have a chance.”
Weston pinched his glabella.
Still wearing the same black suit a few days back, bloodstains marked the hem of his shirt, but they were not obvious.
Although he was in a mess, a powerful aura was still surrounding him.
Tina held prejudice against this man, but she could not deny that his face was the most captivating and handsome one she had ever seen.
It was very hard to find someone like him, even in the entertainment industry.
Even some top actors were unable to exude the regal aura that he did. And she was a bit surprised that such a man was willing to do so much for Stella.
She had thought that they wouldn’t be together for very long, living under the impression that Weston simply wanted Stella out of momentary novelty and possessiveness.
Moreover, with Guinevere being by his side at that time,
she did not hold high hope for Stella.
It was not until the incident during the engagement ceremony that shocked the whole city that she learned the truth-it turned out that Stella and Weston were deeply entangled with each other.
She looked at the man in front of her. “And there is one thing we must confirm. Did Ms. Sealey…”
Weston knew what she was about to ask and interrupted her. “That’s is not important. What matters now is that we must minimize the penalty put on her.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1030 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 station.
A luxury car was waiting outside the door. Once they were out, Stella heard a chorus of curses,
“They are out, they are out!”
“Is it Stella?”:
“It’s her!”
“Murderer! She’s a murderer!”
Reporters were pervasive creatures of late, and they swarmed toward them like locusts the moment they received news from unknown sources.
“Mr. Ford, is it true that your new wife killed your son out of jealousy?”
“Ms. Sealey, you killed an innocent child after becoming Mrs. Ford because you couldn’t tolerate him being Guinevere’s son. Do you have any regrets? Do you feel guilty?”
Apart from the rabid reporters, Guinevere’s fans who received the news had also come and were gathered outside.
“It’s her! She killed Gwen’s son!”
“She is a bitch! She snatched Gwen’s husband away, then
killed her son!”
“Gwen has a rare blood type. She won’t be able to have another child again…”
“What a ruthless woman! I hope she goes to hell!”
Stella was not sure who threw a rotten egg at her, but it seemed that they had planned it in advance. Subsequently, all the eggs they had were smashed into her face

“Murderer! Go to hell!”
“You’ll die, murderer!” “Quiet, quiet! Stop it!”
