Joan sighed, wondering if he could really be with Guinevere.
Stella knew Joan was not asleep yet, so she came out of the room wrapped in a woolen shawl. “…

“I‘m not waiting for him anymore,” Stella shook her head. “You should go and get some rest too.”
She smiled and added, “He‘s probably by Guinevere‘s
side.”
After all, their son had just died. As Zachary‘s father, it was only natural that he would be with the child‘s
mother right now. Stella had nothing against that.
“Mrs. Ford…” The more she acted that way, the more Joan felt bad for her. “I‘m certain Mr. Ford will com

frosty enough to condense the air, but his voice was eerily calm when he said, “This matter must be resol

Whether Roger was alive or dead, they had to get to the bottom of this.

He rarely ever fumbled in the tasks Weston assigned him, and although what had happened was due to f
actors that were out of his control, he still blamed himself for being incompetent, ultimately leading to We
ston having to
clean up all the mess himself.
But now that the ship had sailed, it was no longer the time to look for someone to blame.
“Make sure that Stella docsn‘t know about this for now,” Weston raised his wrist and glanced at the time.”
Negotiate with those people over at the delta. Do what you can to bring him back.”

“Yes, Mr. Ford.”
Ben noticed his visibly somber face and couldn‘t help commenting, “Who would‘ve thought that he‘d be s
o similar to Mrs. Ford? They‘re both just so headstrong…‘They had finally managed to rescue Roger from those dangerous people over at the delta. However, not
only was Roger not grateful, he even insisted on treating Weston like an enemy.
Not only that, but he even went so far as…

Weston might be spending time alone with Guinevere Cohen right now at

“Could that be Mr. Ford coming home?” Joan sprang up to her feet.
The black Maybach slowly pulled into the driveway as the
