His body stiffened but he didn’t turn around immediately.On the other side of the rooftop, Guinevere was being pressed against the railings by another kidnapper. Half of her body was over the roof. She looked at the man in the distance with reddened eyes. “I’m scared…”She was trembling and her hair disheveled. There was even a traumatized expression on her beautiful face.The usually proud celebrity was now hugging her stomach in fear, staring at her fiance with reddened eyes. “Don’t come here. They’ll hurt you!”Stella wasn’t at all fazed by her wails, and in fact even marveled at her acting skills despite this situation.If she hadn’t woken up and overheard Guinevere’s conversation with the kidnappers, Stella might have actually been deceived by Guinevere’s acting skills too.Stella didn’t understand why. She had never actively provoked them before. It was Weston who asked for the marriage, ruthlessly brought up divorce, and then wanted her to abort the baby…Yet, Guinevere

Stella said nothing. She closed her mouth and looked straight at the kidnapper. Then, she looked up at the couple holding onto each other and smiled. “Weston, I told you that I would die, and that they never had the intention of letting me live. Why won’t you believe me?”Having said that, before anyone could react, Stella’s expression suddenly changed and she took a step back, swiftly attacking the kidnapper’s eyes.“Ah!” the kidnapper yelled. He had strengthened his hold on Stella so they were swaying together over at the edge.“What are you trying to do, you mad woman?!”Stella smirked, looking resolute. “Didn’t you want me to die? Since I’m going to die either way, let’s die together!”“What are you doing? Stop!”“Stop? Have you ever given me a chance to live? Rather than being taken away by you guys and tortured and humiliated to death, I’d rather take you down with me here!”The kidnapper had never thought she would be this insane to want to perish together. “Don’t be rash

Even if they were curious, no one had the guts to give the Ford family trouble.Ahn City was a city of profound history where many wealthy families resided.There was an urban rumor that any wealthy family in Ahn City’s upper-class society could easily overwhelm an entire city.Weston’s wealth was national level, so it wasn’t difficult for him to suppress this incident.At the family manor, a white Bentley slowly entered the compound.Weston was going through some documents while Guinevere sat beside him.They were only inches apart, but it felt like there was a huge gap between them.Guinevere had grown up with Weston and knew that he was an aloof man who rarely showed emotion.The incident that day was still vivid in her mind.Weston had chosen her, just as she hoped.And Stella was no longer a threat, so she had nothing to worry about anymore.She could have put away her unbridled suspicion and be with him now, but…Guinevere looked conflicted. Whenever she stopped think

Even the other family members looked over with confusion. Guinevere and Weston’s marriage was acquiesced by both families. At first, no one had urged Weston about it because they thought that Weston had other plans as he usually did.But now, rather than having other plans, it seemed like he was having other thoughts instead.Finally, it was Chris who broke the silence. “I’ve been hearing rumors lately. Do you have other considerations in mind?”When he said this, nosy people who enjoyed conflict got involved. “I’ve heard some nasty rumors claiming that Weston… has a woman on the side!”“Xavier! Who allowed you to speak?!” Chris growled at him, visibly enraged.By another woman, Xavier meant Stella.Outsiders may not be aware, but Chris couldn’t be deceived, and neither could his dear brother, Xavier, be kept in the dark as well.Xavier was Chris’s younger brother, but he was only a few years older than Weston.As Xavier was a child Old Mr. Ford had during his golden years, h

Guinevere’s cautious and confused expression made Wendy laugh on the inside.However, she didn’t show it. She merely patted the back of Guinevere’s hand with a kind look on her face. “No way. We’ll be family soon, so I won’t be as courteous toward you as I would with guests. But if you mind it…”Guinevere was surprised and quickly said, “I don’t mind. I just thought you had some misunderstanding toward me… I’m sorry.”She looked Wendy in the eyes, but then averted her gaze out of guilt. Then, she picked up a glass and held it to her lips as if trying to conceal her emotions.…On the balcony, Chris drew the curtains of the French windows. Weston snorted a laugh. “Are you feeling guilty? Afraid that someone would overhear?”When it was only the two of them, Chris no longer put on airs, but instead looked exhausted. “I know you feel aggrieved about this… But Gwen loves you so much, and the child… it still has the Ford family’s blood flowing in its veins, and you’re somehow related…
