She had been so hostile to Ella all this while because she thought Weston might have
fallen in love with Stella. However, Stella was long gone.
Guinevere would not fight with a dead woman, but Ella was different. Ella was a living person. Not only
that, but she had a face identical to Stella‘s. Therefore, Ella became the biggest threat
Guinevere was worried that Weston would notice Ella one day..
Weston might use her as a replacement. Guinevere did not want to see that happen.
Weston fell into a long silence on the other end of the call. Guinevere was left without an answer for a l
ong time. The wait was simply torturous. She almost wanted to beg him to tell her the answer
Weston simply lit a cigarette. The smoke made his deep features look more defined.
Then, Guinevere heard Weston snicker. “You made me choose. I chose you. What more do you want?”
It seemed like he had answered the question before.
Guinevere suddenly recalled asking him the question previously. However, his answer seemed to be dif
ferent from the last time.
From Weston‘s tone, she sensed he had made up his mind about something. At that instance, a part of
her heart felt
empty. An indescribable panic swept through her senses.
“The party‘s over ... Weston, I want to see you, okay? I haven‘t seen you in
a long time... I miss you. Zack wants to see you too. He likes his daddy the most.”
“If I remember correctly, he likes the nanny more.” With that, Weston directly ended the call.
Guinevere felt a chill run through her body when she heard the disconnected beep from the call.
She looked at the screen of the phone for a
long time. At last, she gritted her teeth and said, “Investigate this! No matter what, don‘t let him have an
y contact with Ella...”
“Alright, Ms. Cohen...”
As soon as Stella found Bradley, Angelina greeted her. “Ella, are you okay?”
The crew had a dedicated rest room.
Angelina immediately took Stella‘s hand. “Who was the masked man earlier?”
Stella hesitated a little and shook her head. “I don‘t know either.”
She seemed a little quiet and guilty for lying to Angelina . She could not look into her eyes. Instead, she
turned to Bradley and said, “I feel a little unwell. Can I go home now?”
There was no reason for Bradley to stop her. He gave her a few glances and said, “If you‘re unwell, you
can go home first. I‘ll
take care of it here.”
“Thanks, Mr. Lane.”
“You‘re welcome,” Bradley said
and turned to Angelina. “You can leave with her. The two of you can keep each other company.”
Angelina knew he wanted her to accompany Stella on the way home because he was afraid for her safe
spoke first.
She said, “No. It‘ll take too much time. I‘ll be fine on my own.”
Bradley interrupted her. “Don‘t be stubborn. We all saw what had just happened. I‘ve asked someone to
smear your reputation.”
Stella‘s eyes suddenly felt a little teary.
Even though there were people like Joyce who hated her for no reason, there were also people like Ang
She took a deep breath. Her eyes were a little
red, but she did her best to resist the urge to cry. She looked at them and said,” It‘s fine... My family is
here to pick me up.”
“Is that so...” Angelina thought about it and uttered, “Remember
to call me when you reach home. Mr. Lane and I will be worried about you.”
“Okay.” Since she had said her family was coming to pick her up, Bradley did not force her to stay. After
they had exchanged a few words, Stella turned and left.
As Bradley watched her leave, his eyes slowly deepened. Finally, he heaved a sigh.
