Chapter 841: Chapter 843

“I’m not going to coax and cajole him like a little child, but…”

She sighed.

Weston lifted her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it tenderly. “Don’t bother about him. He’ll get around it sooner or later.”

Stella remained silent as she fixed her gaze on him.

She was worried precisely about him.

She knew that Weston would settle everything properly on the premise that she would stay obediently by his side.

She had to do exactly as he said. His excellent treatment of her came at a price.

Right now, there was only one thing she was worried about, and that was Old Mr. Ford’s method to try to send her away without implicating those around her.

Thankfully, given the time and information lag overseas, Stella still had some time to think about how to explain things to Roger. The engagement banquet’s incident immediately affected Ford Corporation’s stock prices.

Weston needed to go to the office to attend to something.

The silver Bugatti stopped in the middle of the empty parking garage.

Ever since Stella was stopped at the reception counter, Weston began allowing her to use the exclusive passageway that headed to his office directly without calling the reception.

Before getting out of the car…

Weston looked at her and asked again, “Sure you don’t want to accompany me?”

Stella shook her head. “Bradley called me just now and informed me about recent premiere events for the movie. I’m involved in promotional work.”

It was the movie that she filmed together with Guinevere.

Guinevere’s current condition meant that she was in no shape to attend any press conferences or premiere events.

It was easy to guess the kind of questions Stella would receive if she were to accept interviews.

Weston rubbed her hair. “You can always continue playing the piano and dancing. There’s no need for you to go back to acting.”

Stella smiled, “We’ll see. I want to end my current project well first.”

Weston didn’t want to force her.

Stella instructed the driver to send her to the venue that Bradley told her about.

When she arrived, she found that the other actors in the crew were already there.

Stella was already early and didn’t expect to be the one holding everyone back.

“I’m sorry…” she apologized bashfully.

However, everyone waved their hands and assured her. “No, no. We only just arrived, too,” they said.

It was safe to say that almost everyone knew about what had happened at the engagement banquet.

No one expected Ella to have a secret identity.

Not only was she Weston’s new partner, but she was also his ex wife.

Thus, everyone who used to speak badly of her felt uneasy and restless.

Stella could clearly sense a change in their attitudes toward her and felt uneasy as well.

But she did not say anything much.

Bradley saw her arrive and walked toward her. “Sit over here. The reporters will be here soon.”

“Sure.”

Stella nodded.

Bradley revealed little of what he truly felt inside, and he simply shot a long glare at Stella with a dark look in his eyes.

Angelina, on the other hand, kept winking at Stella from the corner she was at.

Stella walked toward her and sat down.

Angelina immediately held her hand and asked, “Goodness me! Do you know about what happened at the engagement banquet?”

Of course, Stella knew about it. She was there herself and one of the main subjects.

Angelina was slightly agitated. “I didn’t know that so much has happened to you!”

A corner of Stella’s lips lifted in an awkward smile. “I’m sorry | wasn’t honest with you before.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Angelina shook her head. “If I were you, I wouldn’t know how to come clean to my friends, either.”

Stella looked at her and suddenly thought of Henry.

“Do you know someone by the name of Henry Moore?” she probed.
