Semua Bab Mr. Ford Is Jealous: Bab 571 - Bab 580

That was the highest level of acceptance one could expect from a man like Xavier Ford. Still, Daisy had her own concerns. “What about that fiancée of yours?” she suddenly asked. “Both of you are bound by an engagement contract. How will you explain things to your family if you have a relationship with me?” “You are worthy of being Weston’s secretary, after all—alert and clear-minded.” Xavier lifted her chin. “In that case, I’ll be frank. As long as you are willing, I can bring to rest all your concerns. Of course, this will have to be based on firm determination on your part. I can’t possibly up-end my life's peace and stability for an unsophisticated, fickle-minded woman. What do you say?” “It seems you don’t like me as much as you claim,” Daisy smiled. “I thought you would treat me at least like how Mr. Ford treats Ella.” The way Xavier treated her was more like how one would treat a favored pet. Xavier shook his head and laughed carelessly. “You can’t get Weston out of y

When Riley walked out of the washroom, she saw Weston carrying Guinevere into the hospital. She didn’t notice Guinevere at first and was instead attracted by the handsome man, gushing over how lucky she was to see someone so good-looking at the hospital. That was when she realized that the woman in the handsome man’s arms was Guinevere Cohen… Guinevere was a prominent celebrity known as the ‘film queen.’ It was easy to recognize her immediately. She was excited to share what she saw, but Roger’s face had turned stiff. “What’s the matter?” Something was wrong. Thinking she must’ve said something wrong, Riley apologized. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you wait so long…” She had indeed made them wait, but it was only for a couple of minutes. She had always been carefree and easy-going, constantly worried about whether she had upset others. “Let’s go.” Roger stood up, his face clearly upset, though he didn’t say much. Stella remained silent as well. Riley immediate

“You must discuss things with him in advance,” Zeta said without further thought. “These drugs will take a toll on your body if you keep taking them.” Stella asked in a light voice, “Is now the only time I can come over to get the pills from you?” Zeta furrowed her brows, knowing that it would be tough to change Stella’s mind at this moment. “Yes, I only have time right now. If you can make a trip here, I’ll be waiting for you in the office…” Stella took a deep breath. “All right, then.” Even if there was a good chance she’d bump into someone she didn’t want to see, the thought of having to endure the torture over the next month made her decide to step into the hospital again. The hospital was so large, anyway, and she might not necessarily see them. … In the office. Zeta said, “This is enough for one month. Come find me again if you need more.” She handed the pill bottle to Stella. Stella was about to reach out to take the bottle when Zeta suddenly stopped her, “I’

Weston stood up and turned around to see Stella getting out of the car and walking toward him with a strange look on her face. She appeared so suddenly and quietly. “Why aren’t you getting into the car?” Stella had wanted to leave the hospital when she first received his text, but she decided against it and went to the car to wait for Weston. She knew that Weston wouldn’t let her go when they returned to the mansion. She subconsciously grabbed her bag tight, and the thought of the pill inside gave her a sense of security. Weston didn’t pay attention to her subtle movement and simply locked his eyes on her. “I was smoking.” His Adam’s apple moved as he asked her, “Why did you get out of the car?” Stella didn’t reply to his questions but asked rhetorically, “Isn’t Guinevere in the hospital? Why did you come out and not keep her company?” It sounded more like a confrontation or a reminder rather than an actual question. Weston’s eyes were dark as his lips pursed a tigh

Dim lights hung from the ceiling above them. It was as though a web of fear shrouded them, suffocating every inch of Stella’s body. The kiss he was giving her reminded her of that day on the balcony. Weston stood right before her, his handsome face uttering such cruel words. He said that he chose Guinevere. His reason was that Guinevere feared heights, which meant he wanted her to die in the hands of the violent and wicked kidnappers. Stella vividly remembered the hopelessness she was drowning in at that point. She remembered the feeling of the warm blood flowing from her body after she jumped from the building. She saw herself losing the child she had treasured more than anything else. The life that she humbly received from Weston was reduced to a pool of blood. That was her only child in her entire life. She was unable to protect her family and unable to save her only child. “My baby… I’m sorry…” “I’m sorry…” Stella shut her eyes as tears streamed down her
