Stella called Roger the first thing in the morning, but still, there was no response.
Weston told her to stop thinking about all this nonsense and focus on their wedding instead. Because of what happened at the engagement party, Weston had decided to move the wedding date up.
Warren disagreed with it, but he did not say anything.
Before going to the office, Weston pinched Stellaâs face. âIâve hired a team of designers to be in charge of our wedding. You can tell them what kind of wedding you want.â
Stella smiled at him with a nod, but she still looked worried.
âIf youâre still worried, I can send someone over to take a look,â Weston attempted to reassure her.
However, Stella shook her head in response. âNo need for that.
âYouâre right. He is an adult. Heâs probably busy with something.â
Weston noticed something in her reaction. âStella, you donât trust me?â
âNo. If I didnât, why would I remarry you?â
Stella told him, âBut Roger already has a prejudice against you. If you send someone over there, Iâm afraid heâll reject you even more.â
Weston eased his look and patted her head. âI know. You shouldnât worry too much.â
Stella breathed a sigh of relief.
After Weston left, Stella checked the local news in Compassvale and the schoolâs official website and was relieved to see no reports about international students encountering any accidents in Compassvale.
Meanwhile, at the Ford Corporation building.
The farce at the engagement party had a detrimental impact on the companyânews about Westonâs scandals and his past with Guinevere caused the companyâs market capitalization to dip slightly.
However, it was still manageable.
When the project in the western suburbs was announced to the public, people quickly realized there was more to the project than they thought. However, the potential earnings were so great it made them forget about Westonâs scandal.
Weston could reap hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for Ford Corporation and its partners, making his scandals seem trivial in comparison to the obscene profits he could get.
Ben had always admired Weston at work. Sometimes, he even thought that a man like Weston did not need a woman. What was the point of all that trouble?
It left Ben wondering what could be different if Weston had focused all his energy on work. Under his stellar leadership, Ford Corporation might just reach heights that nobody wouldâve ever imagined they could achieve.
Suddenly, someone from the secretaryâs office came in to report something âMr. Ford...â
It turned out to be Daisy.
Ben stopped her at the door. âWhatâs the matter?â
Daisy looked at him with a troubled look. âMr. Sullivan, I have something urgent to report to Mr. Ford...â
To which Ben reproached with a frown. âMr. Ford doesnât like to be interrupted in the middle of work. Next time, call in advance.â
Daisy looked stressed. âI know, but itâs a phone call from the Cohen family...â
Ben paused for a moment and looked at Weston.
Weston rubbed his temple. âWhat is it?â
âThey said Ms. Cohenâs condition has worsened. They want you to go over and visit her...â
Daisy looked at Weston from his side with a complicated feeling. She had heard about the engagement party incident and thought Ella was merely his new love. Little did she expect that she was actually his exâwife.
Why would a man like him be attracted to only a woman like her?
Daisy always thought Weston would keep changing partners. First, it was Guinevere. Then came Ella.
After that, perhaps he wouldâve dated a better woman.
What was so good about Ella? No, what was so great about Stella?
Daisy simply couldnât figure it out. If she compared herself to Guinevere, she would lose because of her family background. However, she had already conceded with the knowledge that it wasnât a part of her that she could change.
âBut Ella...â
Daisy thought there wasnât too much of a difference between them. She believed she had the upper hand as Westonâs secretary
