Chapter 1312: Chapter 1315

Stella had indeed told him that if he gave her the entirety of Ford Corporation, she would get back together with him…

Realizing this, her countenance drastically changed.

She did not mean what she said. Besides, it should have been obvious that she was only joking and that she was only giving him a hard time to make him give up on her.

Who would have thought that Weston would take her so seriously?

Why did none of Ford Corporation’s execs stop him when he called Tina Hampton over to discuss the transferral of property ownership to Stella?

How could he be so impulsive?!

Seeing Stella’s shocked face, Tina knew that Weston must’ve not had her complete agreement before he did this. She heaved a sigh before telling her, “Mr. Ford had given the order to transfer everything to you, so why don’t we just move on with the process…?”

After all, this matter would greatly benefit Stella anyway, so regardless of the grievances between Weston and Stella, Tina was sure that Stella could have no reason to reject the deal.

But Stella ended up shaking her head in refusal without even thinking about it.

“No, I never agreed to this. Just because he wants to give it to me doesn’t mean that I have to accept it.

No, I don’t want any of this.”

“But Mr Ford has given me the orders, and he said that this is your own request…”

“It was my request, but I didn’t think that he would to it. I was only trying to make him give up on me.”

agree “Even so,” Tina frowned, “accepting it won’t do you any harm, will it? In fact, it would only bring you incredible benefits. You must realize how many people would do anything to get Weston Ford’s shares…”

“I really have to hand it to you,” Henry suddenly interrupted her before she could finish her sentence, striding into the room suddenly and standing over Stella, peering down at her as he added, “Do you know how hard Xavier Ford and all those other directors fought to get the shares Weston owns? Yet each and every one of them failed. Meanwhile, all you had to do was say a few words and he instantly gave it all up to you…”

He spoke as if she had done something utterly unforgivable.

“Then go and tell him that I never wanted Ford Corporation, and that I never meant what I said,” Stella interrupted.

“Do you think he’ll stop just because you say you didn’t mean it? Weston has always been a serious man, you know. Since you’ve already made the request, he would stop at nothing to deliver you your desire.”

“Is there something seriously wrong with him?” Stella asked, clenching her fists tightly. “You’ve been his best friend all his life. Can’t you persuade him?”

“If I could persuade him,” he replied, “I would’ve persuaded him to be with another woman in the past three years. I wouldn’t have just sat idly, watching his life turn into hell because of you. Did you know that you almost killed him?”

“What are you talking about?”

Henry rubbed his forehead in exasperation, then turned to Tina and told her, “I think you’d better go back for now. She probably wouldn’t sign the documents today.”

“Sure,” replied Tina with impatience written all over her face, but she still managed to suppress her emotions and maintain a professional attitude. “In that case, I’ll go back and report Mr Ford about what happened and then we’ll see what we should do next.”

After that, she turned and left.

Henry closed the door and asked Stella, “Do you have any idea what Weston’s life was like in those three years when you were dead?”

“I don’t know,” Stella gripped at her blanket, looking visibly irritable and exasperated, “and I don’t want to know…”

The more annoyed she looked, the more Henry wanted to tell her, so he continued, “In those three years, at first he simply couldn’t face the fact that you were dead, and he even wanted to die with you. I once found him locked inside the house with all the gas hobs turned on… I rushed him to the hospital and they managed to save his life, but after that I noticed that he bought bottles of sleeping pills, so we had to have his stomach flushed, but then later we found him cutting his wrist in the bathroom As he spoke, his eyes began to redden. He continued, “Do you know what eventually stopped him in the end? It was when a priest told him that committing suicide is a terrible sin. If he killed himself, he would never be able to see you again even in the afterlife. That scared him straight.”

“He’s never been religious,” Henry added. “But he was terrified that he might never see you again after his death … From then on, he started chain smoking and drinking heavily while occupying himself with work around the clock, all in the hope that he might destroy his health and see you sooner.”
