Ch. 1121..1130
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1121
Diana wanted to run away from home. Riley could only help Michael to calm Diana down.
Soon, it was nightfall. Diana was unwilling to stay with Michael, so she slept in the guest room with Riley. When Riley got up in the middle of the night, she was surprised to see that Diana was gone. She had no choice but to wake Michael up and look for Diana.
Michael got no sleep the entire night.
He thought he would have to sit and stay awake all night, but he did not expect Diana to sneak away. Having been searching for Diana since midnight, Diana was, however, still nowhere to be found.
Michael did not dare to alert Diana‘s family. If her family knew what he had done, they might take Diana back and force them to divorce.
Michael could not live without Diana, and he could only ask Riley to keep this a secret until they found her.
Riley did not think much about it. Finding Diana was her most important priority at the moment.
They searched all night, but still, Diana was nowhere to be found. Michael still had no clue about Diana‘s whereabouts.
Michael knew Stella would be on trial in court on this day, and when he thought about the recorder Stella had given to Riley, his worry turned to anger.
He wondered if Stella had done it intentionally, or if she had just taken the wrong recorder by mistake. So far, all he knew was that his marriage might come to an end because of Stella.
Michael was the vindictive kind, and there was little chance he would let her get away with it. Therefore, he found Weston.
Stella got him into this situation. He had a hard time and wanted to drag them along.
After hearing those things, Ben seemed to have remembered something. “So that’s why…”
No wonder Stella had inexplicably asked him what he’d do if his partner was cheating on him and if it was better to keep it to himself for the rest of his life or to tell the truth.
Ben initially thought Stella had done something wrong to Weston. Although she wasn’t close to Justin, Ben still reported to Weston everything she did with someone of the opposing gender.
Little did he know that Stella was only asking that question because she felt lost about Michael and Diana’s relationship.
Ben was wrong about Stella.
With a frown, Weston stubbed out his cigarette. He looked at the man with red eyes in front of him indifferently, harboring little sympathy for him.
“You should be looking for Diana, not shouting at me here.”
Michael suddenly felt a little disillusioned and took a few steps back. He clutched his head hard, fell, and slumped down on the edge of the flower bed.
“I can’t find Daina.
“I’ve searched everywhere. I’ve searched every place she could have gone, but I still can’t find her.
“Where could she have gone?”
Michael hoped that Diana would beat him and scold him. He was fine with any of that as long as she stayed.
Weston frowned and looked a little impatient. He tapped his fingertips on the steering wheel in annoyance.
He didn’t want to get involved in the business of others, but Stella greatly cared about Diana. When Weston realized his thoughts, he laughed at himself a little. He was still reluctant to let go of a woman who tried to kill him. He knew Stella had a grudge against him, but he never thought she hated him enough to kill him. In the end, this led to Zachary’s wrongful death.
‘Does she hate me that much?‘ he wondered.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1122
The hours flew by in the blink of an eye. The heavy rain outside showed no signs of ceasing.
Ben glanced at the weather and suddenly noticed Tina walking out of the courthouse alone. She kept her head down and looked somber.
Ben took a glance at the time. “How come it’s over so soon? Could it be…”
A bad feeling crept into his heart.
Weston looked in Ben’s direction, and when he saw Tina coming out alone, his eyes turned grim. He opened the car door and swiftly got down.
Tina walked to him slowly, not daring to meet his eyes. Instead, she rasped, “Mr. Ford, my apologies…”
Weston interrupted her coldly, “Don’t you tell me you lost.” A cold storm brewed in his eyes, and with clenched fists, he looked as furious as the dark sky pouring itself out.
The rain only got heavier and heavier. The aura around Weston became colder. He looked like a messenger from hell.
Tina pushed her glasses and sighed, “I did my best… But I didn’t expect Stella to confess to her crime.”
“Crack.” At the end of the sentence, Weston cracked his knuckle hard. He enunciated each word slowly, “Confess to her crime?”
After saying that, he sneered. “Are you telling me that she just confessed to her crime?”
Tina shook her head. “Sorry, Mr. Ford… Even if I had the power, Stella has confessed to the crime… Even if I was the judge, there’d be nothing I could do to save the situation.”
Michael was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he quickly understood the situation and snickered. “This is nothing surprising. Stella didn’t want to be with you. Maybe she confessed to escape you.”
Michael looked up and gave Weston a mocking look. “ Maybe she thinks it’s better to stay in jail than to stay with you.”
“Bam!”
Weston rammed his fist directly into Michael’s face, his eyes red and bloodthirsty. After the punch, he calmed down and rubbed his wrist.
Weston looked down at the man who fell on the ground. If Diana wants to divorce you, the Belford family will have my support.”
“Weston, don’t you dare!”
What Weston said hit Michael hard. Having taken away Stella and Roger‘s inheritance in order to gain the Belford family‘s approval, he no longer needed to rely on the Belford family. But then this happened...
If Weston were to provide his support to the Belford family, Diana would certainly divorce him.
Michael, in a fury, screamed , “If Stella hadn‘t recorded our conversation, Diana wouldn‘t have known about that! She wouldn‘t have run away from home! She wouldn‘t have left me!!!
“In the end, it‘s all Stella‘s fault!”
Weston grabbed him by the collar, dragged him up from the ground, and punched him hard again. Punching Michael seemed like the only way to vent his anger.
Bish!
Bam!
Bish!
Weston didn‘t say a word and kept punching Michael in the face. Soon, Michael‘s nose and mouth pooled with blood.
Weston was about to beat Michael to death in public.
Realizing that the situation was getting out of hand, Ben tried to mediate. “Mr. Ford, our priority now is to contact Mrs. Ford... We don‘t know what‘s going on inside...”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1123
Weston stopped and looked at the man on the floor. ” Diana left you, and you deserve it.”
“Stella confessed, and you deserve it!” Michael shouted from behind him. It was as if attacking Weston would give him some sort of relief.
In reality, it was just two losers attacking each other.
Michael knew this very well, making the whole situation seem so sadly ironic.
“You’re powerful, but what can you do? You can’t even protect your loved one!” Michael continued to scream and cursed behind Weston to vent his anger.
Unable to find Diana, Michael felt helpless. He finally found an outlet to vent all the anger he had built up throughout the night.
Weston ignored Michael coldly and walked straight in. His goal was clear. He wanted to see Stella.
The staff accompanying him told him, “Sorry, Mr. Ford. Mrs. Ford doesn’t want to see you…”
“I said I want to see her,” Weston said in a sharp, icy voice. The people around him held their breaths, afraid to disobey him.
However, one man bit the bullet, saying, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Ford. If the defendant doesn’t consent to it, even her family won’t be able to see her…”
Stella refused to see him, and even if he went there, she would not see him.
Weston did not say a word, but his face was scary.
The trial was over.
Warren walked to Weston and looked at him. He shook his head, saying a little regrettably, “I thought you would win this time. You had it all worked out. You and the board of directors took power, but you never thought Stella would make you lose in the end.”
Warren wanted to tap Weston on the shoulder, but he missed. Weston took a step back as soon as Weston held his hand mid–air.
Weston gave the old man a cold glance. “It’s not just the directors and me. Someone you didn’t expect took part as well.”
Weston paused for a moment and said, “Did you know that Xavier was involved? Your good son, the one you trusted most, is on my side.”
Warren paused with a look of shock that flashed in his eyes. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Anger filled his old and wrinkly face. “You’re deliberately sowing discord between us!”
“You can confront Xavier yourself and find out if it‘s intentional or not.”
Weston suppressed the anger in his heart and took a deep breath. “Xavier chose to be on my side. I don‘t think he‘d be despicable enough not to admit it.”
He then looked into Warren‘s eyes and said, “Grandpa, you‘re old. Even if.you don‘t want to admit it, Xavier is no longer the obedient son he once was. He used to listen to you all the time, but now, he knows exactly whose side would benefit him most.”
Warren widened his eyes as if in disbelief. He stmbled backward, unable to say a word.
Even so, Warren knew in his heart that Weston would never deceive him when it came to this. He simply never thought that Xavier would be the one to betray him.
‘Xavier... I trusted him so much!‘ Warren thought in despair.
Warren loved his youngest son, Xavier, the most. Although he left most of the responsibility to the more capable Weston, he never treated Xavier poorly. Why would Xavier be on Weston‘s side?!
Was what Weston said true? Had he grown too old to grant Xavier what he wanted? Warren laughed bitterly and hunched in agony. He had been a schemer his whole life, but he did not expect such an ending to befall him.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1124
Warren looked up at Weston. “I know you hate me. You blame me for hurting the woman you love. That’s why you deliberately made Xavier turn on me. You’re trying to get back at me, aren’t you?”
Weston, a filial grandson, naturally couldn’t directly hurt his grandfather, but he knew how to make him suffer.
Thus, he remained indifferent and looked ahead. “ Grandpa, aren’t you overthinking? Xavier is the one who has decided on his own actions. What does it have to do with me?” he asked, his sharp voice devoid of emotion. After saying that, he shot Warren a cold glance. Then, he turned back and walked away without looking back.
Warren looked at Weston’s back and felt a gush of blood in his throat. He consoled himself with the fact that he had at least sent Stella to prison and avenged the death of his great–grandson.
Warren tried to tell himself that he didn’t lose too badly. However, Weston’s words forced themselves into his head again, and he took a few steps forward before suddenly blacking out. He shuddered a little and lost consciousness.
“Warren!
“Warren!”
The people around him picked him up in a panic and sent him hurriedly.
Stella was in a small room. Amid the heavy and quiet atmosphere, she sat on a stool obediently, watching passersby come and go.
Some of them were in uniform, while some of them looked serious. They would stop in front of her for a moment, then walk away.
Stella sat with her head hanging low, pretending she never saw them.
A short moment later, a staff member came in and said to her in a low voice, “Your family wants to see you.”
Stella shook her head and said, “No.”
‘Family? Who else does she have now?‘ she thought.
“Weston is outside. He‘s your lawful husband. He has the right to meet you,” the staff said, trying to persuade her.
Stella refused. “I don‘t want to see him. Even if I die, I won‘t see him again.”
The staff seemed a little troubled. “But he‘s already here. He specifically asked for you. Why don‘t you go out and say a word to him? After all, it‘s such a big deal...”
The corners of her mouth tugged slightly. She said, “I‘ll stay here. I’m not going anywhere. Aren’t you going to send me to jail?”
Stella raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. When she looked at him like that, a chill ran down his spine.
Stella was undoubtedly a gorgeous woman. She had a pretty face with skin so fine that dormant veins under her skin could be seen. However, her eyes were blank and dull, completely devoid of life and light.
The staff had witnessed many death row inmates in the courtroom. He had seen some chilling sociopaths too, but never someone as depressed as Stella. She seemed to have completely given up on life. It was his first time seeing a different kind of beauty like her.
After a short silence, he said, “I’ll go and talk to him. If you change your mind…”
Stella shook her head and cut him off, “I won’t. Tell him to leave.”
“Tell Weston I’m never seeing him again in this life.”
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1125
The staff subsequently passed the message to Weston.
Weston sat in the lounge and listened to the staff retelling Stella’s message. At first, he showed no emotions in his eyes. He simply sat there, as though all happiness and sorrow in the world couldn’t shake him. However, underneath his seemingly unbridled coldness, countless cracks had already developed.
No one could see the turbulent emotions under his placid facade.
Weston stood up and said expressionlessly, “She can choose not to see me, but do pass the message to her. As long as she’s in there, I’ll find a way to get her out.
“She knows what I’m capable of.”
After that, Weston turned and left without a word. Stella refused to see him, but that was fine since he would still get her out unscathed in just a few days. This left him in no hurry.
After that, outside the courtroom.
After seeing Weston’s quick return, Michael asked him mockingly, “Stella has confused her crimes. Even if you want to see her, she probably doesn’t want to see you, does she?”
Weston ignored him and went straight to his car.
Michael shouted after him, “I know what you‘re thinking right now. Do you think you can get her out of there as long as you try? It‘s useless. You can try and find more evidence to clear her name, but if she doesn‘t want to come out, it‘ll be in vain!”
“What if she‘s mentally ill and has no way to take responsibility for her actions?”
Weston stopped and looked back at Michael, saying calmly, “Did you know? She‘s been mentally ill since a year ago. The psychiatrist has her medical record. If we release the evidence, she‘ll still come out unscathed.”
Michael was stunned for a moment, not expecting Weston to have a backup plan.
He clenched his fist in anger. For some reason, he hated seeing Weston‘s confidence.
He had lost Diana. How could Weston still get what he wanted?
Michael looked at Weston‘s stiff figure from behind when some evil thoughts grew in his heart. He spat out a broken tooth and laughed sarcastically.
“You‘re always so confident, but I don‘t think you can wait until she‘s out. Even if you get her out, so what? She‘ll never forgive you.”
After a pause, Michael gritted his teeth and said, “You killed her brother. She’ll only want to kill you!”
Weston stopped dead in his tracks and turned to look at Michael. Anger welled in his eyes. “What did you just say?”
“Do you think you hid it so well? Stella long knew about Roger’s death!”
Michael laughed at Weston’s anger. “Guess what? I told her on that day she recorded it! I wanted to give her Roger’s last recording, but she returned the favor by recording my conversation with her and gave it to Diana! It’s retribution! She ended up where she is because of her actions…”
Weston could not listen to the rest of the story. He walked to Michael and slammed him against the car door.
Weston gave him a death glared and questioned, “Are you saying that she already knew about Roger’s death?”
“That’s right.”
Michael got a little comfort seeing Weston lose his composure. He said, “Even the famous and all–powerful Weston can lose control because of a woman!”
He said with a sarcastic smile, “You, of all people, should know how important Roger was to her! When she left the Sealey family, she threw away her dignity and begged us for mercy, all for Roger’s health. I regretted a little not helping her before… But now that she’s done this to me, I’m glad to see her end up like this…”
“Shut up!” Weston almost tried to kill him. He grabbed Michael by the neck and exerted more force.
Ben saw other cars coming in and guessed that the reporters might have gotten the news. He urged Weston, “Mr. Ford, we should go…”
The car stopped. It was Guinevere who came.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1126
Guinevere got off the car and closed the door, and rushed over. She was shocked to see the situation. “What‘s going on?”
When she heard that Stella had lost the case, she was stunned for a good while. With Weston‘s power, she shouldn‘t have lost the case. After that, she found out that Stella had pleaded guilty in court.
Guinevere couldn‘t understand Stella‘s actions, but it was none of her business. All she could care about was her agreement with Weston. Stella had lost the trial, so would Weston‘s promise still count?
“Stop fighting! Why can‘t you calm down and talk about it?"
Guinevere rushed to Weston and tried to stop him, but Weston shook her off. “Get out of my way.”
Michael laughed hysterically. He seemed to completely ignore his injuries.
“Just look at you. You‘re not much better than me. I lost Diana, but you won‘t have it any better! What if Stella is trying to punish you? Maybe she wants to let you suffer as she did before. After all, you forced her most important person to death. How could she stay by your side in peace? You‘re underestimating her!”
Weston’s face was cold. For a moment, he looked like he wanted to kill Michael. He slammed his fist at Michael hard. In the next second, Michael stopped making a sound.
Michael looked blankly ahead and slowly fell to the ground.
Ben jumped in shock. “Mr. Ford…” He rarely saw Weston like this. Weston was completely out of control, so mad that he was about to kill someone in the street.
The rain only came down harder. Guinevere held the umbrella in her hand and did not dare to step forward. When Weston threw her aside, she hit the ground and had a small cut on her knee.
Guinevere urged, “Weston, you need to calm down. You’re not helping…”
Weston ignored her. He walked past her and headed straight to the courthouse, stumbling a little.
Michael’s words served as a harsh reminder. Stella had known about Roger’s death, which meant her recent behavior might have been an act. She might be suicidal.
Weston walked forward. The further he walked, the weaker he felt. It was as if his heart was hollowed out.
Ben looked at his back with concern. He went after him and said, “Mr. Ford, I’m sure Mrs. Ford wouldn’t do anything stupid…”
“Get lost!” Weston shook him off and hurried forward. He was afraid that he was one step too late. He feared that it would be too late.
Weston finally understood the look on Stella’s face when he left the mansion that day. It was the last time she would look at him.
However, what did he do then? He got angry at her, made her apologize to Guinevere, and forced her. He mistreated her so terribly.
A feeling of regret grew and overwhelmed him. It was just a short distance to the courthouse, but it took all his strength for him to get there.
Weston had never been afraid of a thing, but his fear was at its pinnacle at this moment.
It was heavier than the pain of watching Stella jump from the rooftop back then, so heavy that he felt suffocated.
He thought he had everything under control. He knew that even if Stella hated him, she would be unable to do anything with Roger around.
Weston was in complete disarray after knowing the truth. Stella knew Roger was dead. What would she do next?
He didn’t even dare to think about it
The rain was so heavy that the thick wall failed to block out its roar.
Stella was taken into the detention room to be held temporarily . Tomorrow, it seemed she would officially start her new life in prison.
The guards took her to a small room and told her, “Mr. Ford has already given his orders. We won‘t give you too much trouble. Take care.”
After that, he closed the door and left.
Stella was left alone in the small, enclosed space. She looked at the tiny window, feeling a little lost.
She could see a little light there, but the light in her life had already extinguished completely.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1127
Stella opened her palm and looked at the few oleander leaves. She deliberately took them with her before she left. No one knew about them.
The dose here was enough to kill an adult.
Stella stared at it for a few seconds and swallowed them
without hesitation. When she was in Stardust Mansion,
Joan watched over her all the time, and she had no way to end herself. Even if she tried, Joan would soon find out something was wrong and report it to Weston. After that, she would only be watched more strictly.
Stella really did not want to live anymore. She could finally end her life without distractions right here.
The fragrance of oleanders lingered in her nose. The flower was so beautiful yet deadly. It could take a person’s life.
Stella thought of how it resembled her short–lived love. It was full of color, yet so deadly.
Stella leaned against the wall and suddenly remembered something. It was her twenty–second birthday. She was only twenty when she married Weston. It had been almost two years after that.
In the recorder, Roger said that he would surprise her today. She wondered what kind of surprise he had prepared. Unfortunately, she could not see it anymore. Even so, it did not matter. Soon, she would be meeting him on the other side.
Stella would soon be reunited with her unborn child and
Roger. She might not need to suffer so much pain in that afterworld of bliss. There might just be fewer tears.
She hoped Roger would not have any twisted feelings for her in that world. They would live together as a family again. She might even see her late mom and dad.
What would she have in that world? Would there be less cold and pain and more flowers and sunshine?
Stella’s consciousness grew weak. She began to show some signs of poisoning.
She did not call out to anyone and sat in a corner quietly. Soon, her breathing started to become labored.
She felt like a piece of ice, slowly melting and rotting away in a dark place.
She felt like she was turning transparent and fading away.
Soon, the air in her lungs was being drained little by little. The angst in her blood gradually dissipated as time passed. At last, her body gradually turned stiff.
She closed her eyes and seemed to hear the sound of fireworks outside.
At the same time, a firework burst into the sky at Fern University as nightfall came. Everyone came out to look at the fireworks through the window.
This was Roger’s gift to Stella for her twenty–second birthday. Unfortunately, he could no longer see it, and neither could Stella.
Roger prepared the surprise ahead. It was a rainy day, so the fireworks did not last long before they went out. Roger left Stella his last words in the recorder. He said that his name might have signaled his end. The last thing he wanted to do was set the whole city on fire for her.
That night, many witnessed the gorgeous but short–lived fireworks display. Once the lights ended, no one remembered the beauty of the sparkles that streaked across the sky like shooting stars.
People continued to go about their business. No one would remember after the end of the firework. It only lasted just a moment in people’s memory.
Ben got the news about the fireworks at Fern University. Apparently, Stella’s name was spelled out at the end of the fireworks. However, it was raining, so the name did not show up perfectly. It was a waste.
After the fireworks went off, they got the news of Stella’s death.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1128
Without any source of light, the room was dark and damp. The space inside was so cramped that accommodating a corpse would be difficult, not to mention three adult men.
At first, no one thought Stella would take her own life. Instead, they all thought she would just stay in jail obediently and wait for Weston to get her out.
By the time they realized what was wrong, Stella had stopped breathing. Her heart stopped for good within just an hour.
Stella must have been determined to die. She had taken far more than an adult’s lethal dose of oleander.
The world thought she had killed an innocent child with oleanders, but she chose to end her own life in the same way. How could this not be a justification?
Even if Stella died, she was unwilling to be blamed as the murderer for nothing. Rumors soon spread that Stella had committed suicide because of fear. Some said she killed herself to prove her innocence.
Regardless of the rumors, she was already dead.
The dead could not talk nor speak for themselves. As time passed, the dead would soon be forgotten.
The corpse was still in the detention room. Michael was surprised at Stella’s determination, not expecting her to commit suicide. Looking at her corpse, he had mixed feelings and couldn’t tell what he felt. He thought he would be happy, but all he felt was a faint bitterness in his heart.
Ben was still dumbfounded over Stella’s death.
Everything was fine before. Stella was still smiling and talking to him in the morning. However, in the blink of an eye, they lost both the trial and Stella.
Ben then came to a realization. Perhaps Stella had been determined to die. She had been putting on an act during all this time.
Ben looked at the man beside him. He tried to say something but could not make a sound.
Weston seemed unaffected on the outside . He stood in front of Stella and caressed her face as usual. He spoke to her naturally, “How can you sleep so well in such poor conditions…”
He sighed, “I originally intended to let you stay here for a few days before taking you home. I thought you should learn your lesson, but you were too obedient … I’ll take you home today, okay?”
Ben stood aside and listened as Weston spoke to Stella, as his expression turned a little grim. At first, Ben thought Weston was unwilling to accept Stella’s death, but he soon felt a little creepy after listening to what he said.
“Mr. Ford…” Ben didn’t want to believe that Stella was dead, but the deceased could not come back to life.
The forensic pathologist determined the cause of death after examining Stella’s corpse. Her heart had stopped due to an overdose of oleanders–the poison was too lethal, and although they took her to the hospital and tried to resuscitate her, it was in vain.
After a long afternoon, Ben finally mentioned the burial in fear. Weston acted as if he had not heard what Ben said. He told Ben, “Have the driver bring the car over. I’ll take her home.”
He looked at Ben indifferently. There was barely any emotion on his face. “Call Joan. Tell her to make Stella’s favorite food for dinner. We’ll be home soon.”
Ben did not say anything and looked a little numb. He glanced at Michael, who stood next to him.
Ben urged, “Mr. Sealey, say something…”
Michael’s mouth was set in a grim line. Weston’s current state spooked him out a little.
“You should wait a moment. Give him a break,” Micheal told Ben.
Diana’s running away from home was already too much for Michael to handle. So how was Weston going to handle Stella’s death?
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1129
Weston needed time. Not long after, the staff came over and told Ben, “A lady outside says she wants to see the deceased.”
Weston frowned a little at the word “deceased.” His eyes displayed a sharp cold as if he was shooting daggers, making a chill run down the spine of whoever had the misfortune of meeting him
Ben hurriedly stepped in front of him. He lowered his voice and said to the staff, “Who?”
The staff jumped in shock and stammered, “She said her name was Diana…”
Michael stood sharply. “Diana? She’s here?”
Ben stood up as well. Diana must have heard about Stella’s death and wanted to see her since she wouldn’t have shown up in Michael’s presence. She would have avoided him at all costs.
Ben looked at Weston and sought his permission. “Mr. Ford…”
“Let her in,” Weston rasped in a hoarse and broken voice.
Weston focused all his attention on Stella. He tidied her hair and treated her like his precious treasure. He only paid attention to the outside world occasionally. Weston thought Stella did not want to see Michael, she was probably worried about Diana. He thought he should grant her wish, so he let her in.
Stella had a grievance and was always angry with him. If he stopped Diana from seeing her, she might get angry again.
Weston thought he should not have been so hard on her. He should have spoiled her little temper. What was the big deal about spoiling her?
After all, Stella was his dearest woman. If she wanted something, he would give it to her. So there was no point fighting about right and wrong. It was simply pointless.
Diana hurried in once she was granted permission. She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. It looked like she had not found a place to stay. No one knew where she had gone.
She didn’t seem to fare much better than Michael. Her face was full of anxiety, and her eyes were red and swollen, either from crying too hard yesterday or because of Stella’s death.
Diana rushed over in a hurry and didn’t notice Michael. She only looked straight at Stella, muttering her name. “ Stella…”
Her voice trembled as she whispered her name. She had cried so much that her tears had already dried up.
Michael saw her staggering and rushed to her. He tried to reach out and hold her. “Don’t be too upset. You’re pregnant with a baby…”
Diana didn’t expect to see Michael around. After a short pause, she shook his hand away and warned coldly, Don’t touch me!”
Michael looked at his empty hands and laughed bitterly. He followed behind Diana, not daring to speak again.
Diana went to Stella’s side and looked down at her sleeping face. She wrinkled her nose and turned her head away, refusing to give the corpse another look.
“How can this be…”
Stella seemed fine a while ago and didn’t even show the slightest suicidal tendency. She would greet her with a smile and ask her about the pregnancy. Why was Stella so desperate that she took her own life?
Diana clenched her fist in silence. Then, she shot a glare at Weston. “Did you force her? Did you do something to her? That’s why she couldn’t think straight and took her own life!”
Weston said nothing. He continued holding Stella’s hand and focused on just her.
Stella’s fingers curled slightly. Weston smoothed them out one by one, keeping her muscles relaxed.
He said flatly, “She’s just angry. She didn’t kill herself. I won’t make her angry again. I’ll give her whatever she wants.”
“What’s the use of saying that now?”
Diana bellowed out rashly, “She’s already dead…”
“She’s not dead!!!” Weston cut her off with a stern voice. As a murderous aura flashed in his eyes, the air around him froze over. He looked gloomy and furious.
Mr. Ford Is Jealous Chapter 1130
Michael rushed forward and stood in front of Diana, protecting her behind. He frowned and said, “Let’s not talk about this now. We have to prepare for Stella’s…”
“Stella’s funeral” was what he wanted to say, but thinking of Weston’s current state, he quickly swallowed his words.
Michael muttered in a low voice, “She can’t stay here forever. Just let Mr. Ford take her away.”
Weston got up and picked Stella up in his arms. The oleander’s poison had not worn off yet, and there were still visible purple spots on her body.
Weston took off his suit jacket and wrapped her in it. He whispered in her ear, “Let’s go home and have the doctor look at you, okay? I know you love to look good. You don’t like these ugly marks on your body.”
What he said caused the crowd in the room to look at each other in disbelief.
Diana was just as grief–stricken, but it was obviously nowhere near Weston’s extent.
Was Weston refusing to accept her death, or was he hallucinating?
The news of Stella’s suicide spread through Ahn City like a fire razing a dry field on a windy day.
Guinevere originally thought she would have to fight Stella for a little longer. She did not expect Stella to give up just like this.
Now, she could rest easy and wait for Weston to fulfill his promise. Either way, she did drop the charges against Stella and signed a letter of understanding.
Stella’s suicide in prison had nothing to do with her. Weston had not left Stardust Mansion after the news of Stella’s death–he handed over his responsibilities at Ford Corporation to Xavier, seeming to be giving up his own share in addition to the shares he had promised
Xavier before.
The Cohen family had a problem with the new arrangement. After all, they had a project with Ford Corporation and did not feel comfortable with Weston leaving everything to Xavier. Mainly, it was because they were unsure if they would make any money.
Guinevere tried to meet with Weston many times, but he kept her away.
Weston would not see anyone, not even Warren, let alone her.
Guinevere returned to the Cohen family home and did not go to Golden Eve Apartment.
Mrs. and Mr. Cohen said to her directly, “Can you contact Weston? He was in charge of the company’s project. It mustn’t go wrong. Now that Xavier is in charge, the board of directors is having doubts. The company is on edge…”
“Mom, Dad. Stop pushing me. If I can contact him, would I be sitting here?”
Guinevere was upset. “He promised to marry me, but he wouldn’t even see me now…”
Mr. Cohen said nothing. His face turned ugly.
Mrs. Cohen was silent. She wanted to say something, but she stopped.
Mrs. Cohen had been looking at Guinevere’s deal with Weston. She hoped to find a breakthrough with Guinevere, but it seemed futile.
“Stella is already dead. Why is he still obsessed with her?”
Mrs. Cohen had to complain, “She’s just a murderer. She took her life in prison because of fear. I don’t understand. How is she better than Gwen?”
Guinevere did not say anything, but she thought the same.
Stella was finally dead this time. Guinevere did not have to do anything, and Stella was already dead in prison.
Weston was very obsessed with Stella, but she died just when he loved her most.
