Michael rushed forward and stood in front of Diana, protecting her behind. He frowned and said, âLetâs not talk about this now. We have to prepare for Stellaâsâ¦â
âStellaâs funeralâ was what he wanted to say, but thinking of Westonâs current state, he quickly swallowed his words.
Michael muttered in a low voice, âShe canât stay here forever. Just let Mr. Ford take her away.â
Weston got up and picked Stella up in his arms. The oleanderâs poison had not worn off yet, and there were still visible purple spots on her body.
Weston took off his suit jacket and wrapped her in it. He whispered in her ear, âLetâs go home and have the doctor look at you, okay? I know you love to look good. You donât like these ugly marks on your body.â
What he said caused the crowd in the room to look at each other in disbelief.
Diana was just as griefâstricken, but it was obviously nowhere near Westonâs extent.
Was Weston refusing to accept her death, or was he hallucinating?
The news of Stellaâs suicide spread through Ahn City like a fire razing a dry field on a windy day.
Guinevere originally thought she would have to fight Stella for a little longer. She did not expect Stella to give up just like this.
Now, she could rest easy and wait for Weston to fulfill his promise. Either way, she did drop the charges against Stella and signed a letter of understanding.
Stellaâs suicide in prison had nothing to do with her. Weston had not left Stardust Mansion after the news of Stellaâs deathâhe handed over his responsibilities at Ford Corporation to Xavier, seeming to be giving up his own share in addition to the shares he had promised Xavier before.
The Cohen family had a problem with the new arrangement. After all, they had a project with Ford Corporation and did not feel comfortable with Weston leaving everything to Xavier. Mainly, it was because they were unsure if they would make any money.
Guinevere tried to meet with Weston many times, but he kept her away.
Weston would not see anyone, not even Warren, let alone her.
Guinevere returned to the Cohen family home and did not go to Golden Eve Apartment.
Mrs. and Mr. Cohen said to her directly, âCan you contact Weston? He was in charge of the companyâs project. It mustnât go wrong. Now that Xavier is in charge, the board of directors is having doubts. The company is on edgeâ¦â
âMom, Dad. Stop pushing me. If I can contact him, would I be sitting here?â
Guinevere was upset. âHe promised to marry me, but he wouldnât even see me nowâ¦â
Mr. Cohen said nothing. His face turned ugly.
Mrs. Cohen was silent. She wanted to say something, but she stopped.
Mrs. Cohen had been looking at Guinevereâs deal with Weston. She hoped to find a breakthrough with Guinevere, but it seemed futile.
âStella is already dead. Why is he still obsessed with her?â
Mrs. Cohen had to complain, âSheâs just a murderer. She took her life in prison because of fear. I donât understand. How is she better than Gwen?â
Guinevere did not say anything, but she thought the same.
Stella was finally dead this time. Guinevere did not have to do anything, and Stella was already dead in prison.
Weston was very obsessed with Stella, but she died just when he loved her most.
