Chapter 1026: Chapter 1029

Weston froze, looking uncertain for a moment. Then, he pulled Stella into his arms and kissed her forehead. “It’s alright. I’m here.”

The man tilted her face and looked at her. “Did they hurt you?”

She shook her head. “They just locked me up, and they keep saying that I killed someone…”

She clutched the corner of his shirt hard, tightening her grasp gradually. Trust me. I didn’t…”

Weston didn’t answer and simply patted her back. “I have hired a team of lawyers to exonerate…”

Hearing this, she looked at her in shock. “Exonerate ? I am not guilty! You don’t believe me as well?”

“That’s not important.”

He avoided her eyes and tucked her messy hair behind her ears to reveal her small face. “I will ask the lawyers to communicate with you later. Even with all that evidence, they still cannot convict you.

However, you must fully cooperate with the lawyers.”

“You don’t believe me, do you?” Stella interrupted and fixed her gaze on him. “Do you also think that I killed Zachary?” He looked at her sullenly. “I told you, it’s not important.”

He cupped her face. “The most important thing now is to clear your name. I don’t care or want to care about the rest.”

She suddenly started laughing. “Haha.. hahaha…”

She looked at the man in front of her with teary eyes. “I am so moved. How could you love me so much? You love me so much that you want to clear my name even after I killed your son…”

“Don’t be like this, Stella…”

Still cupping her face, Weston wiped away the tears from her eyes with his thumb. “Make sure you tell the lawyers that you did not kill him.”

“I didn’t kill him in the first place!”

He pressed his forehead against hers. “Tell them later.”

His voice was low as usual, but her heart sank when she heard what he said. “You still don’t believe me. You still think that I killed him… You are doing this now just to exonerate me…”

“Stella.”

He lifted her chin and made her look straight into his eyes. “That’s not important. Look at me. We will talk about it later, okay?”

Stella shook her head and stopped talking.

With lips tightly stuck together, her face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

He fixed his gaze on her with his deep eyes.

After a while, he stood up. “Let the lawyers in.”

Tina was flipping through the documents in her hands outside the interrogation room when Weston walked to her and looked at her condescendingly.

“How do you view your chances of success?”

Tina stood up and frowned. “In my experience, a complete acquittal would be unlikely. The evidence indicates that Ms. Sealey is the culprit. However, if we tackle the case from the point of involuntary manslaughter, we may have a chance.”

Weston pinched his glabella.

Still wearing the same black suit a few days back, bloodstains marked the hem of his shirt, but they were not obvious.

Although he was in a mess, a powerful aura was still surrounding him.

Tina held prejudice against this man, but she could not deny that his face was the most captivating and handsome one she had ever seen.

It was very hard to find someone like him, even in the entertainment industry.

Even some top actors were unable to exude the regal aura that he did. And she was a bit surprised that such a man was willing to do so much for Stella.

She had thought that they wouldn’t be together for very long, living under the impression that Weston simply wanted Stella out of momentary novelty and possessiveness.

Moreover, with Guinevere being by his side at that time, she did not hold high hope for Stella.

It was not until the incident during the engagement ceremony that shocked the whole city that she learned the truth-it turned out that Stella and Weston were deeply entangled with each other.

She looked at the man in front of her. “And there is one thing we must confirm. Did Ms. Sealey…”

Weston knew what she was about to ask and interrupted her. “That’s is not important. What matters now is that we must minimize the penalty put on her.”
