His words shocked everyone.
Guinevere helplessly let go of her hand that clutched Weston’s and looked at her father in dismay. “No,
I won’t agree with this…”
She put in an insurmountable amount of effort to get engaged. How could it be canceled so easily?
“You should look at your face. How absurd!” Mr. Cohen glanced at her in disdain and turned his head
away, disgruntled.
Mrs. Cohen helped her to her feet. “Stand up! Don’t act like a joke in front of everyone. It’s he who
wronged you first. Why are you crying and whining?”
Guinevere was always the child they were least worried about. She was always the daughter they were
proud of, but now she had totally lost her poise and disgraced her family with the Weston debacle.
“What’s the use of him being good if he doesn’t care about you?” Guinevere looked at Weston and
stubbornly argued, “I only believe what he says!”
She walked to Weston. “You can stop seeing Bella for my sake, so you can also get rid of Ella for me,
right?”
She was still harboring a last glimmer of hope. “Ella is just a stand – in. She’s not the one you really
want to be compensating!” Weston frowned and looked at Guinevere . “Your father and mother are
right. You really shouldn’t waste your time on me.”
Since he said that, Mr. Cohens’ words were no longer that of anger but a decision.
“In that case, there’s no need to bring up this marriage between the two families in the future!” Mr.
Cohen marched away in anger.
Warren wanted to redeem the situation at first, but seeing Weston’s inaction, he knew that there would
be no use even if he took a stand. He sighed heavily and said, ” How could a nice birthday party turn
into this?”
Mrs. Cohen naturally wouldn’t stay on as her husband had already left. She helped Guinevere up and
gave Weston a look. “The birthday party will still go on to not let us become a laughing stock. As for
your marriage with Guinevere, let’s not mention it again.” Weston nodded lightly. “I’ve caused you
trouble.”
Seeing that he still looked calm, Mrs. Cohen was a little annoyed. “I have really misjudged you. I
thought you were a responsible man, but I didn’t expect you to be no different from the others!”
Weston remained quiet and let her taunt him.
But the more he acted that way, the more it seemed that he didn’t care the least.
Mrs. Cohen sulked and took Guinevere away despite her pleading
Only three Fords were left in the study.
Xavier was watching all this while. Then, just as he was about to speak, Warren said to him coldly, “Get
out!”
“What does it have to do with me? It’s not like I caused the trouble…”
“If it is not you who always fool around and bring bad influence to the family, this will not happen!”
“Bah!” Xavier somewhat understood that he would always be the one to blame after making even a
single mistake. “Alright! I will close the door for you.”
After saying that, he stood up and left.
When he closed the door, he glanced back, and his eyes flashed with uncertainty. It seemed like he
had made an error in judgment. Weston was really unreadable.
He previously thought Weston didn’t think Guinevere was important, but he gave the lion’s share of the
benefits to the Cohen family, making it seem like he valued his fiancée and Zachary. He had also been
exceedingly generous to her family as well. However, in the blink of an eye, it seemed like he did not
care about them at all.
What was he thinking?
What exactly did he want?
What Xavier knew, though, was that he could no longer sit and wait.
