âWhat is she talking about? Is she crazy?â
âShe canât just spout nonsense to exonerate herself!â
âOh, please. The rumors weâve heard over the years featured Guinevere as Westonâs only girlfriend, who else could Weston be married to?â
âWhat a joke. Is she trying to make US believe that Weston married some other woman?â
âWhy doesnât she just claim that she is the ex-wife?â
Upon hearing the mumbling of the crowd, Guinevere looked challengingly at Stella. âExactly, Ms.
Steele.â
She whispered in her ear, âAre you really Westonâs ex -wife?â
Clearly, she knew that she was never married to Weston.
But this Ella Steele that stood before her was not Westonâs ex-wife either. She was merely that womanâs replacement.
That womanâs name was Stella Sealey.
She had died long ago.
Compared to a dead woman, it was more likely for the public to believe that she was Westonâs ex-wife.
Ella was only Stellaâs replacement, after all.
Even Stella Sealey was no match for her, not to mention Ella!
The sudden turn of events made everyone look upon Stella in greater disdain.
âMs. Steele, if Ms. Cohen was indeed married to Weston Ford, are you really responsible for breaking their marriage apart?â
Stella looked calmly at the man. âwho else would know their own marital status better than the man himself? Instead of just listening to Guinevereâs side of the story, why donât you personally ask Weston whether he was really married to Guinevere?â
The man looked at Weston and asked, âMr. Ford, did you betray Ms. Cohen and your marriage with her?â
âI have never married her, and there was no such betraying that you speak of,â Weston pinched in between his brows and said in a heavy but firm tone. Not everyone believed his words, though.
This was especially so after Guinevere looked at him in disbelief, with tears welling in her eyes.
She quickly collected herself and swallowed her tears without a word.
Everyone saw her subtle movements and remarked, â Whatâs the point of asking Weston? Now that he has another woman, he would no doubt speak up for her! â
âYeah, all men are like that, preferring the new to the old. Itâs only expected that he would deny his marriage with Guinevere for the sake of his new woman!â
Guinevereâs eyes turned red as she cut them off. âI truly loved him. Please donât spread such rumors about him... I trust him.â
âSheâs still speaking up for him at this point in time!â
Many people found Guinevere besotted and loyal in love.
âWhat in the world is Weston thinking? why did he abandon such a wonderful wife?â
âYeah, how can that woman compare to Guinevere? Sheâs not fit to even lift her shoes...â
Undoubtedly, those comments were borne out of the natural derision for homewreckers.
Stella was once again disparaged to the ground.
She looked calmly at Guinevere.
âYou must be very pleased with yourself right now.â
The corner of Stellaâs lips curved upward as she pulled out a marriage certificate.
âBut why do I see a different name on Westonâs marriage certificate?â
