Chapter 1107 âBy the looks of it...â Guinevere added, giving Stella a cold derisive look as she spoke.
âYouâve obviously been kept in the dark by everyone around you.â
âBen, do you have the guts to tell her what Weston has promised me, huh?â she scoffed. âOr what about all those women Westonâs been fooling around with the last few days? Why donât you ask her if she can accept Weston doing all that?â
âIâm the only one who can accept him no matter what he does,â she added. âAnd Iâm the only one who will always be by his side!â
She was so agitated that she did not notice Stellaâs clouded countenance.
Stella walked up to Guinevere and once again vehemently slapped her hard across the face Slap!
The noise rang crisply in the air.
Guinevere could hardly believe what just happened. Her eyes widened as she stared at the woman in front of her.
âYou â
She took a deep breath and intended to fight back, but just as soon as she raised her hand, she was once again blocked by Ben. âMiss Cohen...â Ben uttered a little helplessly. âIâm truly sorry.â
In fact, he could hardly be blamed for it. Stella had made her move too swiftly that he couldnât prevent it.
By the time he noticed it, it was already too late, and Stella had already laid her hand on Guinevere. Still, he could not possibly let Guinevere retaliate and hurt Stella, even though it made him seem like he was acting unfairly against Guinevere.â âYou did that on purpose!â Guinevere yelled, shaking with rage. âWhy didnât you stop her when she hit me?!â âIâm sorry,â Ben replied. âI only noticed what was happening when Mrs. Ford was done hitting you. The next thing I saw was you trying to hit her back...â
Guinevere was speechless. She gritted her teeth indignantly and turned to look into Stellaâs eyes. âFine!â
she spat. âJust you wait! Letâs see how bold youâll be a few days from now!â She smiled, wiped the corner of her mouth, and added, â Because you lost your child that day on the rooftop, Weston pitied you, and you used his guilt to make him stay with you. But things are different now...â
She did not bother to explain further , but Stella clearly understood what she was trying to say.
Guinevere meant to say that she now had the same leverage as Stella. Now, she, too, had lost a child, not just some unborn child but Zachary Ford, who had been very much alive not long ago. Now everyone assumed that Stella was the one who murdered Zachary.
If it was guilt that made Weston stay with Stella, then the guilt he felt for Guinevere must now be a thousand times heavier.
No matter how one looked at it, Stella had now completely lost.
In the end, Guinevere gave Stella one last cold glance before returning to her car.
Once they returned to Stardust Mansion , Stella headed straight into her room.
Ben hesitated for a while before telling Joan, âPlease take good care of Mrs. Ford.â
Not knowing what had happened, Joan simply nodded. Soon afterward, Ben went directly to Weston and reported what had just happened.
Meanwhile, Belle was all tears, her face contorted by a deep grimace as she knelt in front of Weston, clutching the hem of his pants and begging, âPlease save me, Mr.
Ford...â
âItâs Guinevere Cohen!â she continued. âSheâs gone mad! Sheâs about to chop off my legs so I can never set foot in Ahn City ever again!!!â
Weston frowned and shoved her away without expression.
Nicole Douglas just sat there, her face deathly pale. Her lips were trembling, and she seemed not to have recovered her senses when she muttered , âMr. Ford...â
