Looking a little stern, Weston took Stellaâs shoulder and reassured her, "It'll be fine with Grandpa around.
"I wanted to have a good walk in the mansion with you..."
Stella understood what he meant and shook her head at him.
"Itâs okay.I understand.Your business is more important."
With Warren gone, the rest of the burden would fall on Westonâs shoulders.
Needless to say, Xavier had always been the spoilt rich kid who did nothing.
Meanwhile, Chris was dying to help but he was powerless.
There wasnât much he could do.
Besides...
Stella glanced at Chris, who seemed very worried about Zachary and kept mumbling.She sighed emotionally.
"Your family...They all seem to like Zachary a lot."

"Many things are not what you expect."
"What do you mean?" Stella asked.
She couldnât understand.
Weston did not explain and just patted her head.
"You donât have to know too much.Just stay by my side."
He reached out to her.
Stella hesitated a little before she put her hand in his.
"Mr.Ford, did something happen earlier? Chairman Ford left in such a hurry."
A few people who werenât aware of the situation came up to Weston and asked questions.
Weston patiently explained things to them and calmed them down as best he could.Some were very interested in Stella.
"Iâve only seen Mrs.Ford from afar at the wedding before.Nice meeting you again.Mrs.Ford is really worthy of the name!"
"Mr.Ford is very blessed!"
Stella had heard many similar compliments like these.
Mixed with both sincerity and falsehood, no one knew how sincere these compliments were.
Most people were just envious of the powerful.
A woman with just good looks wasnât really a big deal, but if she had a great man, her charm would suddenly skyrocket.
Many were curious about her; their curiosity was piqued because of her identity as Westonâs woman and not herself.She knew that very well, so she did not find the compliments a form of flattery.They were shackles.
Weston could see her lack of interest.
"Feeling bored?"
Stella responded with a weak hum.She had not been in a good mood since yesterday, thinking she would have to kill Weston one day.
Thus, she had the strength to play the love game with him.
However, things had changed.She could no longer do it, which meant she would have to live like this for the foreseeable future until Weston got tired of her.
Stella had a change of heart and started to react to things around her negatively.
That was the way her life was.
Why try to force herself to do anything? Besides, she still had Roger...
Weston would always threaten her as long as he was alive.The black shadow in her mind returned at that thought.
"Youâre the stupidest person in the world! You could've killed him! Look at you now! How pathetic..."
As she thought of that, a familiar voice sounded.
"I was just talking to an old friend.What's going on over here?"
Stella looked up and saw it was Jason.
"Hi, Jason."
Stella greeted him politely, to which Weston followed and greeted Jason with a gentle nod.He explained to him about the incident earlier.
After listening to him, Jason became a little worried.
"Is Zack alright?"
Jason was a long-time friend of Warrenâs, and he knew how much Warren loved his great - grandson.
Weston reassured him, "Itâs an allergy, but it was caught in time, and nothing serious happened.Donât worry.If thereâs any update, we'll let you know immediately."
