Ch. 1031..1040
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1031 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 highly toxic.”
Stella‘s eyelashes fluttered twice. She knew there was no point in lying at a time like this, so she nodded. “I know.”
Weston tightened the force of his hand, clutching her wrist. “If you knew, why did you keep it anyway?”
Stella lowered her eyes and said nothing. How could she
explain?
She had never thought of killing Zachary, but she did want to kill Weston…
Weston seemed to understand something from her silence. He pulled her into his embrace. “It‘s not important anymore. I told you.”
Weston lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her
forehead. “This will be over soon as long as you cooperate with me.”
He tipped her chin and looked into her eyes. “From now on, you‘ll be staying at Stardust Mansion. No one will hurt you.”
Stella looked straight back at him, but she only repeated a single phrase under her breath.
“I didn‘t kill anyone.” Weston squeezed her chin until it turned red. Seeing that she refused to give in even though it hurt, he had no choice but to let her go.
He stood up. “I‘m going out to take care of some things.
You think about it. Ms. Hampton will be with you on the details.”
After saying that, Weston turned away.
Stella‘s stubborn voice came from behind. “You can say it again and again, but it‘s no use. I didn‘t do it. I‘m not going to confess to what I didn‘t do just to make it look good.”
Weston felt like his feet weighed a thousand pounds. His hands lay limp at his side. Weston was simply helpless against her.
His deep voice had a sense of exhaustion. “Stella, I‘ll say it again. I don‘t care about whatever you‘ll say. What I care about is the result. I don‘t care about the process. I just need your cooperation, not your approval.”
Stella‘s eyes were red. “I know what you mean. Ms. Hampton has explained this to me. You want me to admit that I killed Zachary by mistake and find a way to reduce my sentence. Then, you‘ll help me get probation to keep me out of jail, right?”
However, the basis of doing that was so that she‘d admit that she killed Zachary by mistake. Why should she admit to a crime she never comitted?
Why did Weston tell her to do so? Did he think of her as the murderer too?
“Stop being so stubborn.” Weston did not look back at
her. He was afraid that he would say yes to her after seeing her tears. He knew what would happen if he agreed to her.
He couldn‘t afford to be soft–hearted.
If he did, she might have to spend the rest of her life in prison. Even if she hated him, he had to keep her by his side.
He could protect her, as long as she was within his sight.
“Stay here and don‘t go anywhere. Ben will watch over you.”
Then, he closed the door. After the sound of the door closing, the room fell back into darkness.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1032 Stella fell into the shadows and looked at his back. At this point, she felt she had returned to the moment when he refused to trust her.
They were on the rooftop, and someone was holding a dagger against her waist.
She told him that Guinevere had hired those kidnappers, but he did not believe her.
All Weston had in his eyes was Guinevere, and all he knew was that he had to save her.
No matter how much she begged and explained, he refused to believe her. She tried to make him stay with the baby in her belly, but he would not. He never believed her.
Meanwhile, in the hallway, Ben came forward. “Mr. Ford.
The board of directors refuses to stop. They want an explanation from you.”
“What do they want me to say?”
Ben paused and observed Weston‘s expression. He said cautiously, “They want Mrs. Ford to…”
It was only obvious.
However, Ben feared Weston and did not want to offend
him, so he spoke softly. Weston rubbed his brows. “Send more men over. Don‘t let anyone near her.”
“Yes, Sir.”
After a long silence , Weston suddenly remembered the cup of tea Stella had given him the night before with obscure eyes.
He rasped, “Has the test report come out yet?”
Ben said, “The young master‘s autopsy report has been reissued, and this time, by trusted people. There isn‘t a high probability of falsification. We‘re in the process of identifying the authenticity of the surveillance video. The snacks Mrs. Ford gave Zachary have also been tested, and the report should be released soon.”
“Okay,” Weston responded. There seemed to be heavy fog in his eyes. “Has the glass been sent for examination?”
Ben was slightly startled. Then, he remembered the glass with tea stains retrieved from the trash can. He replied, ” It was sent for examination already. The results should be out together.”
Ben didn’t quite understand why Weston would send such an ordinary glass for inspection. Was there something that he did not know about?
Weston did not say anything. He looked back in the direction of the villa and left just a sentence. “Keep a close eye on her.”
After that, he turned to leave.
The whole Ahn City was talking about Zachary overnight. Weston had been trying to keep the news down, but Warren was determined to bring Stella down.
Warren wanted to make her submit to the crime and ruin her reputation. He wanted to crush her to oblivion.
The so–called evidence had been released to the media with Warren‘s approval.
Several media outlets had already written influential articles revealing much of what Stella did at the Ford Mansion.
Everyone had been talking about the Ford family‘s family affairs. Numerous shocking versions of the story had been written before the trial even started.
One of the most compelling reasons for all this was Stella‘s strong jealousy, which led to this tragedy.
Although she married Weston first, she resented Weston‘s relationship with Guinevere as his childhood sweetheart. All these years, Guinevere had been the only woman with Weston.
The public saw Guinevere as Weston’s only woman, so even though Stella was revealed as Weston‘s official wife at the engagement party, they assumed Guinevere was the original spouse. There were also rumors that Stella used her child to marry Weston.
In particular, one newspaper made it clear that Weston and Guinevere were childhood sweethearts. Everyone knew they had a crush on each other.
Guinevere even confessed her love for Weston in public during her school years. The two came from similar backgrounds and were a match made in heaven.
However, it was not long before Stella appeared around Weston.

Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1034
Joan had been trying to get Ştella to eat from the morning, but she failed despite her best efforts.
The pastries were still at the door, in the same position as when they had been brought.
Joan gave it a little thought and called Weston.
“Mr. Ford, Mrs. Ford refuses to eat… She says she has no appetite. She hasn‘t eaten anything since morning.”
There was a short silence from the other end of the call.
Then, Weston‘s low and mellow voice came. He sounded tired. “I see.” He did not comment anything.
“Mr. Ford? Are you coming home today?” Joan asked speculatively
Weston did not answer her, but glanced in the direction not far away and muttered, “We‘ll see.” Then, he hung up the phone.
“Mr. Ford? Mr. Ford?!”
Joan shouted a few times and sighed as she looked at the disconnected phone call. When she turned around, she saw Stella standing behind her. She did not know how long she had been standing there. Stella was still wearing the same white nightgown that
Weston had put on her when he left. Loose and velvety, it hung down to her feet.
With her hair down and unadorned face, she exuded a sense of fragility.
Stella spoke softly. She asked, “He‘s not coming back, is he?”
Joan felt sorry. “Mr. Ford must be busy with work. When he‘s done, he‘ll be back…”
Stella‘s eyes turned gloomy. She repeated, “He‘s not coming back.”
“Mrs. Ford…”
Joan felt that Stella was not in the right mental state. She asked, “Are you not feeling well?”
Stella shook her head and did not say anything.
“I want to go back to my room…”
“Mrs. Ford, but you‘ve been in your room all day!”
Joan took her arm and urged her, “Come and eat something.”
When Joan‘s hand touched her, Stella flinched and took a step back. “No…”
“I’m not hungry.”
“You haven‘t eaten all day. How can you not?”
Joan was getting anxious. “If Mr. Ford comes home and finds you hungry, he‘ll hold me responsible!”
Stella pursed her lips. “He won‘t. I‘ll talk to him.”
“Mrs. Ford…” Joan wasn‘t actually afraid that Weston would pursue the matter. She was just worried about Stella‘s health. “At least eat something. You‘re not well…”
Stella’s eyes were blank. It was as if there was nothing in them. It was as if she had lost her soul.
She pushed the door open, went inside the room, and closed the door.
The soft click on the door sounded as fragile as her breath. It was as if she could disappear at any time.
The smell of disinfectant water was particularly strong at the hospital.
Weston rushed over as soon as he received the news. When he arrived, Zachary was already covered with a white cloth.
The weather was getting warmer, and they needed to hold the cremation as soon as possible.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard a small sobbing sound. It was Guinevere.
Guinevere had been crying a lot in the past few days. Her
tears would not stop. When it was time for the actual funeral, her sobbing became weaker.
Guinevere stared blankly in Zachary‘s direction with swollen eyes. When she heard the sound of footsteps at the door, she looked up and saw Weston.
“You‘re here?” Her voice was very hoarse.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1035 Weston responded and withdrew his gaze. He looked at Warren and greeted him.
“Grandpa…
“You finally came!”
Warren gave him an expressionless look and tried to suppress his anger. “I heard that you took Stella away?” Weston did not answer his question. Instead, he walked to Zachary and looked at him through the glass enclosure. Warren hunched over. “Zack is here. I don‘t want to say anything harsh, but I‘m not going to forgive Stella.”
Weston still did not say anything. He went over to the casket and put his hand on it. “Have you made arrangements for the funeral?”
No one answered him. Everyone thought that he was too cold–blooded for Zachary.
Only Wendy gave him a look and answered softly, “Dad said he didn‘t want to make a big funeral. He wanted Zack to leave quietly…”
There wasn‘t a greater sorrow than death. At this point, Warren barely had any energy to organize a big funeral. Zachary‘s death seemed to have sucked his spirit away.
Warren said in an old voice, “The Cohen family will be here in another hour. We‘ll hold a short ceremony for Zack. Be humble in front of the Cohen family. Zachary is their grandson too…”
Weston responded with a nod and said nothing more.
Most of the Ford family members were here. Xavier and Daisy were waiting for them outside. They understandingly left some time and space for the people inside.
It was a human life, after all. Although Xavier was not close to Zachary, he felt sorry about his death.
Meanwhile , Daisy felt like she was in a dream. She even held Zachary in her arms two days ago and teased him. She was thinking how amazing it was to see a little face that resembled Weston so much. She did not expect to see Zachary lying lifelessly in a blink of an eye, unable to open his eyes again.
She breathed a sigh. “I didn‘t think Stella would be so cruel…”
Hearing that, Xavier looked up at her. He tilted his head slightly and leaned against the wall behind him. “You sound like you‘re sure that Stella is the murderer.” His tone, however, was unclear.
Daisy looked up at him with some confusion. “In this situation, isn‘t it obvious that she‘s likely the murderer?”
The evidence was released to the internet at Warren‘s order. Looking at the way things looked, it was obvious that Stella was the murderer. The rest had no motive to commit the crime.
The poisoning had been confirmed, and the only one who could poison Zachary was Stella. After all, Warren, Wendy, Chris, Guinevere , and Weston did not seem capable of poisoning Zachary.
Smoking was prohibited in the hospital.
Xavier fished a lighter out of his pocket and played with it in his hand. He lighted it and put it out every now and then.
“Do you really think she‘s the kind of woman who‘d hurt a child who‘s barely two?”
Xavier used to hate Stella and held a strong prejudice against her. However, the events at the engagement party made him see her in a new light.
Although he still had a bad feeling about her, he believed there was no reason for her to take such a huge risk to kill Zachary. No matter which way it went, there would be no benefit for her.
Besides, she had used oleanders to poison him. It was too obvious. She would undoubtedly be the first suspect because she had a pot of poisonous oleander with her.
She did not have to do this at all.
Daisy frowned a little and thought about it. “I don‘t know. Maybe she‘s not scared of the suspicion ? Maybe she thinks Weston will protect her for sure?” “Well, she‘s pretty confident of herself then.”
––
Xavier looked up nonchalantly and shot Daisy a quick glance. “You‘re a woman. What do you think is going on in Stella’s mind?”
“I haven‘t the slightest…. A smile tugged on Daisy‘s lips. “Not every woman can do such a thing… After all, it‘s a human life.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1036 While the two spoke, the man inside came out.
Xavier stood up straight and looked at Weston. “IS everything taken care of? What are you going to do next?”
Weston did not look at him. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked out, his eyes looking straight ahead.
After that, he said faintly, “Follow the procedure.”
Xavier followed him and looked at the rest who remained in the room. Warren was still sitting in the middle of the room. He looked grim , exuding the majesty of an elder.
Guinevere silently wiped her tears. Her eyes were red and swollen. She looked blank as if her soul was out of the body.
Chris and Wendy were leaning together to warm each other, but there was a sense of distance.
These people were not in the right state to handle the company‘s affairs. Weston had to take charge of Zachary‘s funeral arrangements in addition to taking the blame from the company‘s board of directors.
This time, the scandal from the Ford family was too much. One scandal emerged after another.
With the stock price fluctuating , the board of directors was desperate to have a solid account. They needed Weston’s guarantee.
Their rival companies were already spreading rumors. Competition and rivalry were inevitable in business battles.
Ford Corporation‘s stock value evaporated overnight.
While most people cared only about the gossip about the prestigious family, many stockholders were genuinely hurt by the scandals. If unchecked, this could severely damage Ford Corporation‘s reputation. Weston had to deal with it.
Even Xavier, who had been fighting with him, felt Weston looked overworked and drained.
“Do you need me to help you with the company?” “No need.” Weston rejected it quickly. “You can‘t help much.”
Xavier stopped dead in his tracks. “I‘m not as useless as you think.”
“I know.”
Weston rubbed his brow. He did not intend to show any
sarcasm or contempt to him.
He stated, “The company‘s projects overseas are on track. I still have to keep an eye on the progress. Once the
plan is confirmed and settled, I‘ll transfer some projects to you.”
Xavier was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“It‘s what you think it is.”
Weston looked him in the eye. “Haven‘t you been competing with me for the right to speak in the company? You don‘t have to fight anymore. I‘ll give it to you.”
When Xavier heard that, his immediate reaction was to glance behind him. Daisy was not far away. She was smart enough not to follow them closely.
Daisy knew they were talking and did not dare to disturb them.
The rest of the group was still in the room.
Xavier withdrew his gaze and looked at Weston for a few moments. He knew Weston was not joking.
Xavier lowered his voice and said, “Let‘s talk on the balcony.”
The wind was quiet. Xavier‘s heart was full of mixed feelings.
Xavier lit a cigarette. He finally reacted when the cigarette burned to the end. “Are you serious?”
Weston did not say anything. He tugged his collar sharply.
“If you‘re going to be so nagging, don‘t waste my time.”
With that, he turned to leave.
Xavier hurriedly stopped him. “I mean, what do you want me to do?”
There was no free lunch in the world. Although they were from the Ford family, Xavier still knew this.
Weston stopped in his tracks. “You’re so smart. You shouldn‘t need me to tell you.”
Xavier was stunned for a moment. Then, he burst out laughing. “You‘re seriously…”
Xavier wanted to be sarcastic and mock him for falling into a woman‘s hands despite his success. However, the words remained stuck behind his lips. He could not say it
out loud.
“Have you really thought about it? Doing this all for a woman…”
Weston furrowed his brow slightly. “You just have to tell me one thing. Can you do it or not?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1037 “Of course.
You‘ve agreed to compromise on the shares. How can I not agree?”
Xavier held up his hands. “Just tell me. What do you need from me?”
Weston‘s eyes deepened. He wanted to light a cigarette, but he stopped when he thought of something. After a long time, he said, “Anyone who might influence the final verdict must be dealt with.”
Xavier stood up sharply. He thought he had misheard him. After a long
moment, he raised his voice at the absurdity. “Are you crazy?!”
Was Weston going to make an enemy of everyone?
After that, inside the car.
Daisy saw Xavier‘s silence. She wanted to speak to him and ask him a few questions, but she eventually gave up.
The car drove on for half an hour. Xavier looked outside. “We‘re almost at your house. I won‘t go in today.”
Daisy nodded. When the car stopped, she unbuckled her seat belt and was
ready to go out when she paused and asked, “What did you… What did you say to Mr. Ford today?”
Xavier did not answer her right away. He put his hand on the steering wheel and tapped his fingers. Then, he looked at her differently.
“Don‘t you think you‘re overly concerned about Weston‘s affairs ?”
Daisy‘s eyes changed a little and reverted back to normal. “Why are you being paranoid again? Such a big incident has taken place. It‘s only normal that I am curious…”
“It’s normal,” Xavier cut her off with a cold voice. He sounded a little
impatient.
“It’s also normal for a couple to be together and be apart. Daisy , this is my last warning. If I catch you thinking about another man again, there‘s no need for us to continue.”
After that, he directly opened the car door and got out.
Daisy paled instantly.
Night soon fell.
Joan kept calling Weston, but no one answered the call. She was anxious but
still worried about Stella.
Weston was not ignoring the call on purpose . He just could not get away from the situation.
Meanwhile, in front of the funeral hall, the Cohen family was wiping their tears. Guinevere and Mrs. Cohen hugged each other and wept.
Chris glanced in Guinevere‘s direction occasionally , but he could only join Wendy in calming a completely downtrodden Mr. Cohen.
When Guinevere‘s parents heard about the news , they fainted . When they woke up, it was already Zachary‘s
funeral.
They were not in the right state of mind to participate in the cremation process, so they showed up at the wake for a little while and soon went back to rest.
At their age, they were unable to take such heart–wrenching motions.
At the last minute , Weston stood in front of the funeral hall and looked at Zachary‘s tomb. He finally showed some of his own feelings.
“Rest in peace.” Weston placed a daisy in front of the tomb with dark and sullen eyes.
Guinevere stood behind him and clasped her hands together. She called his name.
“Weston…”
Weston did not respond and kept his back turned away from her.
Guinevere took a deep breath. She took a step forward and hugged his waist. “I feel horrible… Can I hug you?”
Weston frowned and wanted to push her away reflexively.
Guinevere sensed his intention, so she hugged him tighter. She let out a sad
whimper. “Please … At a time like this … Please just hold me… Please … Let me hold you…”
She squeezed her sobs out of her throat with a depressed and suppressed cry of grief. Weston lifted his hand, dropped it, and let her hold him.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1038
Guinevere lost her only child. A child‘s death would probably be the saddest thing its mother would experience. At this point, all of Guinevere‘s past incompetence and mistakes could be erased and forgiven.
No one would remember that she accidentally fed Zachary with nuts, giving him an allergy. No one would remember how she neglected him.
Guinevere did not know Zachary‘s preference and rarely spent time with him, but she remained his biological
mother. No one would doubt her love.
She was now a mother who had lost her only child, which added to her tragedy.
It was as if Zachary‘s death had made Guinevere appear full of motherly love. Sympathy for the child quickly transferred to Guinevere.
Guinevere was just a mother who lost her only child. What could be more painful than that?
Chris wanted to calm her down and comfort her, but as soon as he stepped forward , he saw Guinevere walking toward Weston. She hugged him from
behind and looked very dependent on him.
Chris could only stop in his tracks and stand still while looking in their direction . Wendy had been standing by his side. She saw Chris‘s grievance for Zachary and concern for Guinevere‘s emotions. It made her heart feel numb.
Wendy did not even have the mood to sneer. She stood up and said to Chris,“ I‘m a little tired. I‘ll go back and rest.”
Chris finally withdrew his gaze and forced himself to suppress his pain.“ I‘ll go with you.”
Wendy did not refuse . As she got up, she wobbled a little. She felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Chris‘s face changed. He focused on her. “Are you feeling unwell? Does your heart hurt?”
Wendy shook her head. She put her hand on his arm and did not speak. After a moment, she said, “Let‘s go.”
Chris nodded. When he glanced in Guinevere‘s direction again, he saw how Guinevere only had her eyes on Weston and sighed softly . Then , he took Wendy away.
After paying their respects to Zachary, Guinevere‘s parents straightened up. Their face changed when they saw Guinevere hugging Weston closely.
Mrs. Cohen wiped her tears. “Why is Gwen still thinking about him after all these things that happened…”
Mr. Cohen snorted coldly, “You‘ve taught our daughter well!”
Mrs. Cohen muttered, “Could it be that Weston finally realized what kind of person Stella was and regretted marrying her? Is he trying to get Gwen back
“It won‘t be that easy!”
Mr. Cohen‘s face turned cold. “Did he really think he could have my daughter and reject her whenever he wanted?”
Mrs. Cohen stepped forward. She seemed like she wanted to take Guinevere back. However, Mr. Cohen took her by the arm and stopped her.” What are you doing?”
“I can‘t stand the two of them together ! How can you let them get back together after what he did to Gwen
Mr. Cohen said coldly, “Even if you separate them now, will Gwen listen to you? Look at her obsessive look now!”
“What else can I do? Do we have to watch her repeat the same mistake…”
Mr. Cohen felt troubled too. “Just leave them be. I don‘t want to care about their affairs anymore. Now, Zack is…”
Mr. Cohen stopped abruptly. Both of them fell into silence.
Zachary was their only grandson. Guinevere had such a rare blood type
and was likely to have only one child in her life.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1039
Mr. Cohen said, “With her situation now, can she still get a good match?”.
Guinevere was so hopelessly obsessed with Weston that if they allowed her to be with him again , Weston might feel guilty about her and fulfill her dream.
“That makes sense, but wouldn‘t it be unfair to Gwen?”
Mr. Cohen glanced at Guinevere.“ Unfair for her? Look at her now! Ask her if she‘ll feel aggrieved!”
“So are we going to leave her be?”
Mr. Cohen‘s eyes changed. “This time, we‘ll have to help her as parents…”
Guinevere‘s obsession was too strong.
She would not stop until she got Weston. They did not want more trouble, and neither did they want to see their only daughter go crazy because of her obsessions.
One by one, the guests left the room and said goodbye to Zachary. At last, Guinevere and Weston were the only ones left.
After a long silence, Weston said, “It‘s time. »
“Weston, do you feel sad?” Guinevere cut him off. “Zack is dead. Aren‘t you sad?»
Weston did not answer her question. He lowered his gaze and looked at her hand, hugging his waist. Then, he put his hand over hers.
Guinevere‘s heart fluttered. She thought he was going to comfort her, but he only pulled her hands away.“ It‘s no use saying these things now. He‘s gone. Those who are alive can only look forward.”
“I don‘t want to move on!”
Guinevere suddenly got a little emotional . “Why must we move on? The murderer hasn‘t confessed to the crime, has she?”
Weston‘s face sank. He pushed her away. “This was an accident. There‘s no murderer…”
“Haha…” Guinevere laughed. “No murderer? Just an accident?”
“Weston, I never thought you‘d be so protective of her… Look at all the evidence. Do you still want to deceive yourself?”
Guinevere looked at Weston with tears
in her eyes. “I beg you. Don‘t do this to me, okay? It‘s our baby…”
Guinevere started crying again. “I wanted to give you guys my blessing, but Stella won‘t even let our only child go!”
“I said this was just an accident.” Weston‘s eyes were a little cold.
Guinevere knew that the plan would backfire if she continued.
She wiped her tears away. “Grandpa won‘t let you take sides with her…”
“I‘m not going to take sides with her either.” Weston looked into
Guinevere‘s eyes. “She‘s not guilty. Even if she is, it was unintentional.”
Guinevere pressed her lips hard and looked at him in disbelief. “Must you plead her innocence?”
Weston said nothing, but his silence clearly showed his stand.
Guinevere was still in disbelief. “Even if Stella did kill our baby, you wouldn‘t care?”
“I don‘t consider a baseless hypothesis.” Weston was unshakable. “She won‘t kill someone on purpose.”
“But the evidence clearly points to her!”
“It was just an accident.”
Guinevere came to a sudden realization. “You don‘t care about the truth, do you? You just want to get Stella out of trouble, right?”
Guinevere saw his silence and started crying again.
“Why must you do this to me… Why? What have I done wrong?”
She gripped his hand tightly, refusing to let go. “Why won‘t you give up on her after what she did?”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1040
Weston looked at her teary–eyed face. He lifted his hand and handed her a tissue. “I‘ve already given up on her once. Have you forgotten?”
Guinevere‘s eyes shook. She asked in a hoarse voice, “She still hates us, right? We were kidnapped together, but you chose me over her. Stella has always hated us, hasn‘t she?”
Guinevere‘s eyes were red. She suddenly understood something. “Is she getting back at us? Weston , tell me. Does she hate us so much that she kills Zack?”
The look of pain on her face was not fake at all. She looked heartbroken.
“Why would she do that? If she wants revenge, just come at me! She‘s gotten everything she wants! She got you. She took you away from me. She has punished me hard. Why did she have to take it out on my child? Why…”
Guinevere‘s cries gradually faded. She was finally left alone.
Guinevere watched as Weston left. Weston was unmoved.
Then, the tears on her face slowly dried.
As the pain from Zachary‘s death eased , Guinevere feit glad at her decision. If she had not made up her mind this time, she might watch them fall deeper in love If she ad nothing, Weston‘s feelings for Stella would grow stronger.
When that happened, there would be nothing more sbe could do but watch.
It was hard to remove Weston‘s feelings for Stella non, but if she waited a little longer, things might become unimaginable for her.
Would he really fall in love with that woman?
Guinevere wanted Weston‘s love so badly. Was she going to give it away at this point? She would never let that happen.
Guinevere dried her tears and stood up. She glanced in the direction of the funeral hall and muttered to berset. Zack, sorry…”
“It was so hard to give birth to you. Treat this as returning the favor. I‘ll treat you well the next lite.”
‘If she can still have children.‘
The lights lit up the lobby brightly
Guinevere‘s parents were waiting there. When they saw Weston come out alone, they told him, “Gwen has been very unstable lately, so we called Dr. Quirk over.”
Beside them, Hayden stood up. “Mr. Ford, it‘s been a long time.”
He was trying to solve Stella‘s psychological problems when he was politely invited out of Stardust Mansion. Joan had made a nice excuse , but Hayden knew why he was escorted out.
Hayden looked at Weston in front of him. He felt that Stella was not the only one who needed to see a doctor, but also Weston.
Weston did not seem surprised that he was here. “Dr. Quirk.”
Weston was a man who was rarely interested in the outside world. Nothing seemed to excite his curiosity. He was a man who was not naturally inquisitive about others. This made him seem cold and quite aloof.
Mrs. Cohen explained to them, “Gwen‘s emotions have been stable a while ago, but Zack died so suddenly. We‘re worried that she‘ll relapse, so we’ve called Dr. Quirk over.”
Weston nodded without any comment.
Hayden looked at the group. “Where is Ms. Cohen right now?”
“The funeral hall.”
“Can I go in and talk to her now?”
