Chris put his arm around Wendy’s shoulder and leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll go check
on them. Wait for me here.”
Wendy nodded. “Okay.”
The two had always been a loving couple in front of the public. They still seemed to be in love even
after decades of marriage. Many guests looked at them with a little envy.
The female guests, in particular, envied Wendy or Guinevere the most. However, after this night,
perhaps no one would envy Guinevere anymore.
Chris took a glance at Stella before he left. His eyes were frostily cold.
He knew Weston had a woman outside. He had heard about Belle from Lowe Garden, but Guinevere
had got rid of her.
Chris never thought Weston would bring another woman back to the Ford mansion! He was so
deluded!
When he had just gone upstairs, he heard the loud noise from the study.
Warren was smashing things in the room. His cane was banging on the floor heavily. Xavier , who
came up with
Chris, heard the noises too.
Both stood outside the door and looked at each other in dismay.
Xavier looked at Chris. “Chris , what’s wrong with dad? Why is he so angry?”
Chris shook his head and remained silent with a tense face. Then, when he saw Xavier come alone ,
he asked,“ Where’s your woman?”
Xavier chuckled. “She isn’t feeling well, so she went to the restroom.”
Chris nodded. Then, both of them pushed the door open and went in.
Creak…
The door opened, and a porcelain bowl came slamming toward them.
Crack!
A loud noise sounded as the bowl broke into pieces at Chris’s feet.
Chris jumped in shock. “Dad, what’s going on? Why so serious?”
The atmosphere in the study was very tense. Guinevere and Weston stood still. Guinevere’s parents
both had ugly expressions. It was obvious that something was wrong.
If Chris had come in alone, Warren could have controlled his temper. However, he lost his temper at
the sight of Xavier. He rushed to him with his cane, trying to hit him with it. “You ungrateful son! It’s all
your fault for setting a bad example!”
Xavier did not expect to get blamed for no reason. He hurriedly dodged Warren. “Dad, why are you
scolding me again? I didn’t do anything!”
He thought the matter about Daisy was already over. He also persuaded Warren to let his guard down,
letting him think that he would not fight for the family fortune. He did not expect to get into trouble
again.
Warren was furious. “If you hadn’t been drinking and sleeping with women all the time, why would
Weston have learned from you?”
Xavier vaguely realized what was going on after his father scolded him. “What do you mean? Are you
saying that Weston is playing with women outside too?”
The tension in the study became colder as soon as he said that.
Xavier finally understood it. “No, wait. Weston is the one who’s keeping a woman outside . Why are you
scolding and beating me?”
“If you hadn’t been such a bad influence, would this have happened? The men from our family have
always been loyal! You’re the only exception! Weston has never done all these before. He’s clean and
loyal. You’re the one who keeps sleeping around with actresses and models. How dare you say you’re
not wrong?”
Warren was accusing Xavier unfairly, but Xavier could not argue.
It was true that he got into a few scandals once in a while, and most of the time, Warren was the one
who helped him to get rid of the bad press.
He knew he was wrong and unable to deny this, and he knew Warren needed to vent his anger on
someone.
However, his words served Guinevere as a reminder. She looked at Weston with sadness and
grievance in her eyes.
