Zeta looked like a smart and capable woman before, but she changed completely in front of
Xavier. She became slow to respond and answered in a daze, “Okay...” When Xavier stood in front of
her, she finally came to her senses again. She wanted to put her hand in the crook of his arm, but Xavier
took a step back in disgust.
“You just ate. You didn‘t even wipe your hands.”
Zeta hurriedly withdrew her hand. “I‘ll go wash my hands first.”
After she finished speaking, Xavier finally noticed Stella standing beside Zeta. He froze for a moment.
“Ella?”
He cocked his eyebrow in surprise. “What a small world, running into you in such a place... Eh? You
know Zeta?”
When Zeta heard that, she stopped in her tracks. She looked at Stella and Xavier. “You two... know each
other?” Xavier‘s playful voice sounded meaningful. “More than that.”
Stella’s face turned a little ugly. She was not warm toward Xavier. She looked at Zeta and said, “ Doctor,
since you‘re busy, I‘ll leave now...”
“What? Why are you leaving now? Are you afraid I‘ll say something about you?”
Xavier treated Stella casually in Weston‘s absence. He knew Weston had something special for Stella,
but his real other half was still Guinevere.
Stella was at most a private plaything to him. Zeta could hear the frivolity in his tone. She frowned in
displeasure. “Ella is my friend. She‘s not like those women out there! Don‘t scare her with that attitude of
yours!”
Xavier had a known reputation as a playboy. She knew he had been having his fun with all the female
stars outside.
Even so, for some reason, Zeta had a crush on him. She had been following him around since childhood,
like his shadow. She knew she was being shameless, but she could not help it.
The two of them were still engaged. In any case, Xavier still had to treat her nicely.
Zeta could not help thinking about it. Would Xavier be happy if she stopped loving him one day?
Xavier did not expect Zeta to speak up for Stella. “When did you two meet?” he asked. Zeta changed the
topic. “Ella is busy. I‘ll send her to the hospital entrance and come back to you later...” When she was
about to leave, Xavier suddenly grabbed her arm. His face was a little sullen.“
Are you telling me to wait for you? I‘ve been waiting for you for almost ten minutes.” Zeta had always
been the one who waited for Xavier. Xavier was an impatient man. All his patience was spent on other
women. Zeta took a deep breath. “I’ll make it quick. I won’t keep you waiting.” Stella interrupted the two.
“It‘s fine. I can find my own way.”
After saying that, she left straight away without waiting for Zeta to say anything. Zeta looked at Stella‘s
back and wanted to go after her. However, Xavier grabbed her arm and stopped her before he pulled her
back. “Come on. You shouldn‘t deal with that kind of person.” His voice was so clear that Stella heard
everything. She quickened her pace and suddenly remembered what Lucas had told Yvonne too. These
men appeared nice in Weston‘s presence, and they would not say anything mean to her. However, they
always expressed their disdain for her in private and showed it to their other halves.
Stella shut her eyes as her lashes trembled a little. It was all these people who made her understand
clearly. She had always been a plaything to Weston.
She sank her nails deep into her palms and used the stinging pain to stay awake. She had to find a way
to climb out of this abyss called Weston at all costs.
