The staff subsequently passed the message to Weston.
Weston sat in the lounge and listened to the staff retelling Stellaâs message. At first, he showed no emotions in his eyes. He simply sat there, as though all happiness and sorrow in the world couldnât shake him. However, underneath his seemingly unbridled coldness, countless cracks had already developed.
No one could see the turbulent emotions under his placid facade.
Weston stood up and said expressionlessly, âShe can choose not to see me, but do pass the message to her. As long as sheâs in there, Iâll find a way to get her out.
âShe knows what Iâm capable of.â
After that, Weston turned and left without a word. Stella refused to see him, but that was fine since he would still get her out unscathed in just a few days. This left him in no hurry.
After that, outside the courtroom.
After seeing Westonâs quick return, Michael asked him mockingly, âStella has confused her crimes. Even if you want to see her, she probably doesnât want to see you, does she?â
Weston ignored him and went straight to his car.
Michael shouted after him, âI know what youâre thinking right now. Do you think you can get her out of there as long as you try? Itâs useless. You can try and find more evidence to clear her name, but if she doesnât want to come out, itâll be in vain!â
âWhat if sheâs mentally ill and has no way to take responsibility for her actions?â
Weston stopped and looked back at Michael, saying calmly, âDid you know? Sheâs been mentally ill since a year ago. The psychiatrist has her medical record. If we release the evidence, sheâll still come out unscathed.â
Michael was stunned for a moment, not expecting Weston to have a backup plan.
He clenched his fist in anger. For some reason, he hated seeing Westonâs confidence.
He had lost Diana. How could Weston still get what he wanted?
Michael looked at Westonâs stiff figure from behind when some evil thoughts grew in his heart. He spat out a broken tooth and laughed sarcastically.
âYouâre always so confident, but I donât think you can wait until sheâs out. Even if you get her out, so what?
Sheâll never forgive you.â
After a pause, Michael gritted his teeth and said, âYou killed her brother. Sheâll only want to kill you!â
Weston stopped dead in his tracks and turned to look at Michael. Anger welled in his eyes. âWhat did you just say?â
âDo you think you hid it so well? Stella long knew about Rogerâs death!â
Michael laughed at Westonâs anger. âGuess what? I told her on that day she recorded it! I wanted to give her Rogerâs last recording, but she returned the favor by recording my conversation with her and gave it to Diana! Itâs retribution! She ended up where she is because of her actionsâ¦â
Weston could not listen to the rest of the story. He walked to Michael and slammed him against the car door.
Weston gave him a death glared and questioned, âAre you saying that she already knew about Rogerâs death?â
âThatâs right.â
Michael got a little comfort seeing Weston lose his composure. He said, âEven the famous and allâ
powerful Weston can lose control because of a woman!â
He said with a sarcastic smile, âYou, of all people, should know how important Roger was to her! When she left the Sealey family, she threw away her dignity and begged us for mercy, all for Rogerâs health. I regretted a little not helping her before⦠But now that sheâs done this to me, Iâm glad to see her end up like thisâ¦â
âShut up!â Weston almost tried to kill him. He grabbed Michael by the neck and exerted more force.
Ben saw other cars coming in and guessed that the reporters might have gotten the news. He urged Weston, âMr. Ford, we should goâ¦â
The car stopped. It was Guinevere who came.
