Semua Bab Mr. Ford Is Jealous: Bab 941 - Bab 950

Weston was only in his thirties, but he was fighting for a slice of pie from the old foxes in their fifties and sixties. This made him a formidable competitor and a very influential figure.Stella smiled a little but showed no joy in her eyes. “I didn’t know he had such a reputation…”“Alright. Let’s not talk about him.”Seeing her lack of interest, Zeta switched back to the main topic. “He said you were better for a while… Why did it suddenly get worse?”Stella furrowed her brow. “I don’t really know either. Last night, I just felt like I couldn’t accept him at all.”Stella was much more relaxed without Weston around. As it was only her and Zeta, she didn’t feel as inhibited as she did. Stella put her hands on her forehead, and suddenly, a massive wave of fatigue descended upon her.“In the past year, I’ve been acting in front of him. My acting turned out to be believable because of the medication. Even on the occasional times when we’d do it without medication, I endured it u

“Oleander is extremely poisonous. A human or animal that consumes its flower, root, leaf, or seed might die from poisoning.”Stella widened her eyes in surprise. “That bad?”She thought that the oleander’s poison would cause an allergy or something at most, but little did she expect that it was actually so toxic.Zeta nodded. “It’s no joke. The entire oleander plant is poisonous. If you accidentally break the branches and touch the sap, for instance, it will paralyze your skin. Burning the branches, on the other hand, produces toxic gases…”“It sounds very dangerous,” Stella said.“The prettier they are, the more dangerous they become.” Zeta smiled and advised, “You’re a novice, so don’t pick this one. There are other plants to look at.”“Why don’t you recommend one?”“Sure.” Zeta looked around and chose one. “This is Serissa japonica, also known as snowrose. What do you think?”She recommended the flower and explained, “When snowrose blooms, its white flowers are as dense as t

In short, an ordinary person would be no match for Angelina.Weston paused a little and glanced at Henry once. He was not interested in Faye and only remembered her as Henry’s bodyguard.As a bodyguard, Faye was a skilled fighter. Responsible for caring for Henry, she was much tougher than the average woman.Henry understood the look in Weston’s eyes. He closed his eyes and ordered Angelina to leave.“Put down the things and leave.” Angelina felt a little restrained. Seeing that she wasn’t welcomed, she nodded and agreed to leave. “Then I’ll be going… If you need any follow-up on the medical bills, I…”“Why aren’t you leaving yet?” Henry opened his eyes and looked impatient. Angelina pursed her lips and turned around to leave. If she hadn’t made mistakes, she wouldn’t have endured his temper.After the door of the ward was closed, Weston turned to Henry and asked, “Are you sure she’s not the one you’re looking for?”Henry seemed a little conflicted himself. He lay in bed, lo

Weston got out of the car first and picked Stella up in his arms. Then, he strode inside.Joan had been told about their return and was already making the appropriate preparations inside.“Madam, Mr. Ford...” Joan greeted them with a smile. When she saw Weston enter with Stella in his arms, she stepped aside. “The villa is ready. I’ve cooked some of Mrs. Ford’s favorite dishes. It’s still warm!”Stella felt a little embarrassed to be carried around in Weston’s arms. “Put me down…” she whispered into his ear.Joan was still around, and it would be inappropriate for him to be carrying her around. It was as though she could not walk herself.Even so, Weston did not put her down. Instead, he ordered Joan, “Go in first and get her stuff ready.”“Yes, Mr. Ford.”Weston still did not put Stella down after Joan left. He stood in the foyer and held her on one knee. He kept one hand on her waist and changed her shoes.“Joan is one of our own. There’s no need to be shy.”Weston was in th

After that, no matter how much Hayden tried to make Stella talk, she just would not open up her heart again. She talked about general things on the surface and refused to pour out what she really felt.Hayden found himself in a tricky situation. Stella seemed like a gentle and docile woman, but she was very defensive at heart.Perhaps even she did not realize that deep down; a split personality might be hiding itself.“Mrs. Ford, how long has this been going on?”“I’m not too sure either...” Stella struggled to remember. Suddenly, a sharp pain throbbed in her mind and made her expression ugly.“Sorry, I...”She tried to stand up, but she fell back in her seat. She pressed her temples hard and tried to shake off the jumbled images in her head to no avail.A patch of thick red liquid spread before her eyes.Vivid images of the scene on the rooftop, the kidnappers, and her desperation during the fall brutally forced themselves into her mind. After that came the blood that poured o
