Stella was this scheming woman.
No one knew how she managed to get pregnant with Westonâs child.
He had no choice but to marry her out of duty, but he still loved Guinevere in his heart.
When Guinevere got pregnant herself, Weston had to divorce Stella.
Unfortunately, the last thing he expected was for Stella to have a miscarriage and would never have a child again, while Guinevere gave birth to Zachary.
Weston finally decided to return to Stella out of sympathy. Stella, however, still held a grudge against Guinevere, who was Westonâs first love.
Although she had gotten Weston, she was still not satisfied.
To get her revenge, she attempted to kill Zachary using whatever means accorded to her.
This version of the rumor was the most widespread.
The person who leaked the story claimed to be an insider.
Everyone in the circle knew about their loveâhạte relationship for years.
It was Stellaâs obsession that led to this tragedy, and Weston chose her several times out of guilt.
With all these, everything seemed to make sense.
Stellaâs presence seemed to be a cloud in their love affair.
In the end, her jealousy and malevolence led her to murder Zachary.
Everyone guessed that Stella would be kicked out of the Ford family soon.
âIâm afraid itâs not so easy to just kick her out. I heard that the Ford family has filed a lawsuit against her.
Theyâll send her to jail!â
âMaybe even the death penalty...â
Stella was shut from the spreading rumors and storm in the outside world. Nothing could get to her ears.
She was completely cut off from the world and locked up in Stardust Mansion. She could hear nothing and see nothing.
No one but Joan had access to her.
Her friends, Yvonne, Angelina, and Bradley, had been desperately trying to contact her but to no avail.
The rumors outside were snowballing and getting out of hand. No one knew the truth. Her friends tried their best to contact Stella , but Weston blocked them all without exception.
It seemed like he wanted to make Stella disappear from the world. He did not want anyone to find her.
âMrs. Ford, why donât you eat something...â Joan came to the bedroom door and knocked.
Stellaâs weak voice came from inside. âLeave it there. I donât feel like eating.â
âBut you havenât eaten for the whole day...â
Joanâs eyes were full of worry. âDonât worry. Mr. Ford will take care of your problems.â
Joan had heard the rumors too, but she did not believe that Stella was the type that would hurt an innocent child.
After so much time together, she knew Stellaâs character well and treated her like her own daughter.
âYou have to trust your husband. Trust the police. Theyâll definitely give you justice...â
Stella sat on the bed with her hair draped over her shoulders, cascading behind her like a waterfall.
Her dark hair made her skin look unusually ashen.
As she looked out the window at the sun, the beautiful sunshine lit her face up, making her seem a little pale. âHe doesnât even believe me himself...â
Stella laughed at herself mockingly. âWeston doesnât believe me.â
âMrs. Ford...â Joan sighed again. Seeing that Stella refused to budge, she could only put the cooked food at the door. âIf youâre hungry, come out and eat.â
There was no more sound from inside. Joan looked at the closed door, shook her head, and turned around to leave.
