Stella fell into the shadows and looked at his back. At this point, she felt she had returned to the moment when he refused to trust her.
They were on the rooftop, and someone was holding a dagger against her waist.
She told him that Guinevere had hired those kidnappers, but he did not believe her.
All Weston had in his eyes was Guinevere, and all he knew was that he had to save her.
No matter how much she begged and explained, he refused to believe her.
She tried to make him stay with the baby in her belly, but he would not. He never believed her.
Meanwhile, in the hallway, Ben came forward. âMr. Ford.
The board of directors refuses to stop. They want an explanation from you.â
âWhat do they want me to say?â
Ben paused and observed Westonâs expression. He said cautiously, âThey want Mrs. Ford to...â
It was only obvious.
However, Ben feared Weston and did not want to offend him, so he spoke softly. Weston rubbed his brows. âSend more men over. Donât let anyone near her.â
âYes, Sir.â
After a long silence , Weston suddenly remembered the cup of tea Stella had given him the night before with obscure eyes.
He rasped, âHas the test report come out yet?â
Ben said, âThe young masterâs autopsy report has been reissued, and this time, by trusted people.
There isnât a high probability of falsification. Weâre in the process of identifying the authenticity of the surveillance video.
The snacks Mrs. Ford gave Zachary have also been tested, and the report should be released soon.â
âOkay,â Weston responded. There seemed to be heavy fog in his eyes. âHas the glass been sent for examination?â
Ben was slightly startled. Then, he remembered the glass with tea stains retrieved from the trash can.
He replied, â It was sent for examination already. The results should be out together.â
Ben didnât quite understand why Weston would send such an ordinary glass for inspection.
Was there something that he did not know about?
Weston did not say anything. He looked back in the direction of the villa and left just a sentence. âKeep a close eye on her.â
After that, he turned to leave.
The whole Ahn City was talking about Zachary overnight. Weston had been trying to keep the news down, but Warren was determined to bring Stella down.
Warren wanted to make her submit to the crime and ruin her reputation. He wanted to crush her to oblivion.
The soâcalled evidence had been released to the media with Warrenâs approval.
Several media outlets had already written influential articles revealing much of what Stella did at the Ford Mansion.
Everyone had been talking about the Ford familyâs family affairs.
Numerous shocking versions of the story had been written before the trial even started.
One of the most compelling reasons for all this was Stellaâs strong jealousy, which led to this tragedy.
Although she married Weston first, she resented Westonâs relationship with Guinevere as his childhood sweetheart.
All these years, Guinevere had been the only woman with Weston.
The public saw Guinevere as Westonâs only woman, so even though Stella was revealed as Westonâs official wife at the engagement party, they assumed Guinevere was the original spouse.
There were also rumors that Stella used her child to marry Weston.
In particular, one newspaper made it clear that Weston and Guinevere were childhood sweethearts.
Everyone knew they had a crush on each other.
Guinevere even confessed her love for Weston in public during her school years.
The two came from similar backgrounds and were a match made in heaven.
However, it was not long before Stella appeared around Weston.
