Chapter 1051: Chapter 1054

Chapter 1054 Ben froze and was instinctively flustered.

Roger was...

However, he knew that he couldn‘t tell Stella about it, so he could only bite the bullet and lie. “I am not sure myself, but I heard that he‘s living quite well abroad...”

He touched his nose subconsciously.

Stella knew this was a very clear sign of lying.

She suddenly could not pretend any longer and asked, “ Tell me the truth, Ben. How is Roger now?”

He avoided her eyes. “You better ask Mr. Ford about this She closed her eyes.

His attitude made her heart freeze. “Tell me honestly. Is Roger in trouble? Why are you being so secretive?!”

“I really don‘t know!” Ben‘s tone sounded a little stiff. “If you really want to know, you can ask Mr. Ford. I am really not sure...” She pressed her lips and knew that she would not get a word out of his mouth.

*Let‘s go back to Stardust Mansion,” she snapped, frustrated Ben let out a sigh of relief, thinking he‘d just survived a close shave. “Sure, let‘s go back now.”

He even forgot to ask Stella what had happened and why she was crying Stella did not say a word the whole journey.

She leaned against the car window and looked out at the receding landscape.

The trees on the side of the road were so lush and thick that they blocked her view.

She was in a trance, as if she was in a dream.

There could still a lucky break.

Although Roger had the intention of committing suicide, he... there was always a glimmer of hope, she thought.

Perhaps he had not done it yet?

Maybe something else happened to stop him...

She couldn‘t help thinking that way. Regardless, no matter how much she convinced herself, she knew in her heart that she was simply refusing to face the cruel reality.

Suddenly, a familiar face caught her eyes.

She sat up straight , thinking that she might have been mistaken.

But she clearly saw Riley‘s face just now... Was it an illusion?

Riley should be studying abroad at Compassvale University. Why would she appear here?

Ben noticed Stella‘s strangeness and slowed the car.

“Is there anything wrong, Mrs. Ford?”

Stella paused for a moment and looked at him. “Can you stop for a while? I need to go to the washroom.”

“But...!

Ben hesitated and surveyed the surroundings. “This is a public place. If there are any bad hats around...”

“I am in a bit of a hurry. It‘ll be quick and won‘t hold you up much.”

Ben quickly checked the remaining agenda.

They were at least an hour and a half from Stardust Mansion.

There was no way he would let Stella hold it in for that long.

Having little choice, he nodded and pulled into a parking spot. “We will be waiting outside. Shout for us if anything happens.”

He wanted to send a bodyguard with her at first, but since it was the ladies‘ room, they could only keep watch outside.

Stella had just gone inside when she saw Riley exiting the cubicle “Weston is watching you too closely. This was the only way to reach you.”
