Everyone but her knew the truth.
Stella sat on the couch and laughed at herself. All these years, the joke had been on her.
Zachary turned out to be someone elseâs son. Stella was sent to jail because of Guinevere and Chrisâs child. She was wrongly accused and had to commit suicide to prove her innocence.
In the end, all of this happened because of a simple mistake.
Stella went to see someone.
Wendy was not surprised at Stellaâs sudden visit. She had become a shareholder in the Ford Corporation, taking over Chrisâs seat on the board, and had a lot of eyes watching for things around her.
Wendy got the news as soon as Stella returned to the country. When she first heard about it, she was surprised that Stella was still alive. She wanted to meet her directly, but after thinking
about it, she held back.
If Wendy knew about it, Weston would know about Stellaâs return too. There was no need to get involved. Little did she expect that Stella would come to her so SUUI.
âWhatâs the matter? I have a meeting later in the afternoon.â
Stella walked to Wendy and ordered a cup of coffee. âItâs been a long time. I didnât expect you to work on the companyâs business now.â
âAfter all, itâs sad when a divorcee has no financial resources.â Wendy looked at her with a smile. âYouâre now the internationally famous Cicily. I found your video online. You
do play the piano very well.â
Stella did not accept her compliment. âYou know why Iâve come to you, right?â
âI know.â Wendy sipped on her coffee and put down her cup. âIâve been watching Guinevereâs moveme nts. I know you went to visit her. Weston took you there.â
Stella lowered her gaze, unsure what to say.
Instead, it was Wendy who spoke first. âActually, Iâve been aware of Guinevereâs excessive intimacy wit h Chris for three years. I just keep fooling myself and refused to accept the harsh truth...â
Wendy had divorced three years ago. Time had gradually healed the pain of the past.
âChris and I are wrong to Weston. When we were madly in love, we ignored his feelings and cared abou together. When Weston grew up, his grandfather put all the responsibility on him and never let him breathe. After that, Chris made a mistake , so he forced Weston to take the blame on his behalf.â
Wendy felt some real heartache talking about Weston.â He has never lived for himself. Heâs only lived for you.â
Stella tugged at the corner of her mouth. âAre you telling this now to get us together again?â
âNo.â Wendy shook her head. She looked across at the man striding towards them and smiled. âI donât have the time for that. Heâs more determined than anyone else.â
