Stella’s silence was akin to an agreement.
Weston steered the wheel and chuckled to himself. “Do you take me as a three-year-old kid?”
“Don’t you behave like one in front of Mr. Hall?”
Weston scoffed. “Seems like you do care about that man, still standing up for him at a time like this.”
Stella pursed her lips. “There you go again…”
She just couldn’t understand why Weston held so much animosity against Justin. In all senses of the
word, things were impossible between her and Justin
Weston clearly did not want to dwell on Justin any further , remaining silent as he steered the car into
the freeway. That was when Stella remembered to ask him, “Why did you suddenly come over to fetch
me?”
Weston looked mildly at her. “Didn’t you feel nervous about facing your uncle alone?” Stella’s eyes
widened. “You…”
Weston’s brows arched. “I know that he’s your uncle and that you don’t share much of a relationship
with him.”
Stella pursed her lips and fell silent. Indeed, given Weston’s identity, he could find out every single
detail about her family background. “Since you already know about him, there’s nothing much for me to
explain…”
Stella’s heart was heavy, and she remained silent throughout the ride.
When they drove past Fern University, she suddenly called out to him to stop the car. “Drop me off
here. I agreed to meet Roger.”
Weston looked at her disapprovingly. “You’re falling right into Michael’s trap if you really meet Roger
now. He still doesn’t fully believe that you’re Ella. If he finds out about Roger, your true identity will be
exposed.”
Stella understood what he meant and remained silent, pursing her lips in thought.
A moment later, she texted Roger to tell him that something had cropped up last minute, and she was
unable to meet him.
Weston glanced at her and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. “Even if you were to stop Roger
from going to find Michael, Michael might still take the initiative to find Roger. There are many ways to
prove whether you are Stella Sealey, one of which involves looking up Roger.”
Stela shut her eyes. “Is there a way to prevent Michael from finding Roger?” “At this moment, it
probably won’t come to his mind that Roger is studying at Fern University. However, since Chroma
Inc’s business focus has shifted domestically, the chances of bumping into him will inadvertently
increase. Unless…”
“Unless Roger goes overseas,” Stella completed his sentence, knowing what he implied. This issue
couldn’t be delayed any longer. She suddenly remembered something. “He recognizes you too!”
“So what?”
“Will he go around shooting his mouth off after seeing us together?”
Weston’s eyes turned cold. “He’s a smart man. He knows what to say and what not to say.”
“How are you so confident that he won’t expose your extra-marital affair to the world?”
Weston chuckled lowly. “Whether or not this is an extra marital affair is one thing. Even so, so what if
the world knows about it?”
His arrogant tone left Stella with an unsettling feeling.” Aren’t you worried about the Cohen’s?”
“Don’t vex yourself over these things. Just focus on staying by my side.”
The car drove into Stardust Mansion.
Weston parked the car and leaned nearer to Stella, lifting her chin. “Your excessive worrying about
these issues makes me think that you’re trying to find opportunities to leave me the moment you can.”
Stella turned her face away. “Don’t overthink things. I’m just worried about circumstances, that’s all.”
Weston looked at her, trying to figure out the inner workings of her mind. He turned her face back to
him and kissed the corner of her lips. “Just do as I say.”
