These people did not expect Warren to set up Weston like that and were at a loss for words.
Warren concluded decisively, âIâve made up my mind on this. I gathered everyone here today just to announce the decision formally...â He suddenly paused and turned to Weston. âThis matter is closely related to you. Do you have anything to say?â
Weston tapped his fingers on the table lightly and suddenly curled his lips into a smile. âYouâve made up your mind. I donât think I have anything to say.â â
Warren furrowed his brows immediately. He stood up, furious. âHow dare you talk to me like that?â
After that, he got so emotional that he coughed violently and fell back to his seat.
The butler hurriedly got him some water, patting Warrenâs back to calm him down. âRelax. The doctor said you shouldnât get angry...â
Weston frowned a little and said nothing. After a short silence, he said, âOkay. I accept your arrangement.â
âWhat?â
The directors looked at Weston with some surprise. They did not expect him to accept such an unreasonable decision without any resistance.
Weston looked at Xavier, who had not spoken. âGrandpa is right. After all, Iâve been at the helm for the past few years. I should give others a chance. Maybe itâs better that we pool our efforts. Itâs better to work as a team.â
Weston had already put the word out, so Xavier could only take his stand. âI wonât let you down.â
Warren finally let out a sigh of relief and nodded. âThen itâs settled.â
While they were on the way from the mansion to the villa, Ben was indignant at Warrenâs treatment of Weston.
âMr. Ford, why did you accept Warrenâs suggestion? Heâs obviously trying to stifle you!â
Weston rubbed his brow. âHeâs not trying to stifle me. Heâs forcing me to make a choice.â
Ben paused a little , then let out a sigh. No one expected things to come to this...
Warren was forcing Weston to stop protecting Stella. He wanted Stella to confess to the crime in the next trial. He wanted her prisoned forever.
If Weston insisted on bailing her out. Warren would take his power away and slowly crush him. Weston would not be able to protect Stella anymore at that point.
Ben felt troubled. If it were him, he would not know what to do in such a dilemma.
After that, when Weston got out of the car at Stardust Mansion, he instructed Ben to continue to reinforce security around the area. Warren wasnât going to stay idle, and heâd look for Stella everywhere.
âDonât let her out again until this is over.â
Weston ordered, âNo matter the reason or excuse, donât let her out of this door unless I ordered it.
Understand ?â
