Chapter 1096 Weston looked up and glanced at Ben once. He did not show any response.
Ben hurriedly explained, âShe seemed to have heard about Belle and Nicole , and she tricked them both into coming here. They thought they were here to work...â
âWell, Ms. Cohen clearly wants to teach them a lesson.â
âA lesson?â Weston asked indifferently.
Ben said, âThe people over there seemed like they were going to cut off Nicoleâs hand. She would never play the piano again.â
Ben felt a little overwhelmed at this point and thought that Guinevere was too cruel.
Weston remained indifferent. âWhat else?â
âAnd Belle. Ms. Cohen seemed to be talking about cutting off her feet so she can never come back to Ahn City.â
After that, Ben asked tentatively, âMr. Ford, should we do something?â
âNo need. Keep an eye on it, but donât make too much of a fuss.â
Weston glanced at the time on his wristwatch. âDistract her and gather the evidence of power behind the Cohen family.â After that, he paused a little before asking, âHowâs it going with Xavier?â
âMr. Ford, it should be soon. Warren trusts Xavier very much. The Cohen family thinks heâs our competitor , so they donât suspect him at all.â
Weston responded with a hum, seemingly uninterested.â Get on with it.â
After a drink, Weston got up to return to the mansion.
The driver was at the wheel, and while they were exiting the parking lot, Weston saw a familiar figure waiting at the entrance.
Weston ordered the driver to stop and wound down the window.
The man outside heard the commotion and looked over.
When Michael saw Weston, his face changed. He immediately came over with a smile and greeted him,â
Mr. Ford, what a coincidence.â Michael thought for a moment and decided to give it a try. âI heard that thereâs a big multinational project ongoing recently that would cooperate with the Ford Corporation. Were you discussing the details here?â
Weston glanced at him with indifference. âMr. Sealey, whatâs the matter?â
Michael could tell from Westonâs attitude that perhaps Stella hadnât told him about Roger.
Michael gathered his composure and said sternly, âIâve been unable to contact Stella for a while. I have something to tell her, so I hope you can pass the message to her, Mr. Ford.â
Weston finally turned his head and looked at him at the mention of Stellaâs name.
Michael said with regret, âStellaâs grandparents... My parents passed away a while ago, and tomorrow is the funeral. I hope she can attend it.â
He paused a little in sorrow and said, âI know she has some issues with the Sealeys, but his father is the eldest son of the family, and I hope she can come over to see them off on behalf of her father.â
Michael did not tell Weston that Stella already knew Roger was dead. After all, he was the one who broke the news to Stella. He did not want Weston to go after him later.
When Stella heard the news, she did not show any emotions.
Weston cut the steak into small pieces and swapped her plate with his.
Stella was startled by his thoughtfulness and laughed.â Youâre quite the gentleman.â
She remembered that Weston used to do the same thing with Guinevere. He would cut the steak for her before giving it to her.
Weston pulled out a tissue and wiped his fingertips. He asked straightforwardly, âAre you going to their funeral?â
Stella fell into a short silence. âI donât know...â
She sighed a little. âThey werenât nice to me, but my dad was very close to them.â
Stella always thought that her grandparents loved her very much until the plane crash happened.
âDonât push yourself.â
