“When you ordered the kidnappers to get rid of me on the rooftop two years ago, did you ever think that
you would one day see me as I am today?”
Guinevere stared speechlessly at her with her mouth agape. She seemed to want to speak, but words
couldn’t escape her throat.
“Y-You…” she sputtered.
Her lips were pale. Her eyes widened with horror, as if she was literally faced with a corpse that had
miraculously come back to life.
“Impossible ! It’s impossible ! You should’ve been dead! I don’t believe it…”
She recalled the first time she had laid eyes on Ella in Fern City. At the time, she was confident that the
woman she saw was Stella. Not only did they look exactly alike, they even had the same rare blood
type. It was just too improbable to believe that it was all a coincidence. Back then, she had no doubts at
all that Ella was in fact Stella.
But afterward, she had conducted her own investigation, including a DNA test, and they all had pointed
toward the fact that Ella was indeed a different person. Only then did she let down her guard and
believe that Stella was truly dead.
If only she had known that her first instinct was correct after all!
Her expression turned cold. She glared at Stella and hissed,”
You lying b*tch! You’ve been alive all along! You’ve been deceiving me!
“You should’ve been dead!” she rushed forward and tried to grab Stella’s throat. “You shouldn’t have
survived! Why are you still alive? Why are you still alive?!”
Her deranged behavior caused a huge stir among the crowd.
But before she got anywhere near Stella, Weston had long strode forward, pulled Stella into his arms,
and shoved Guinevere away
“Haven’t you caused enough trouble?” he stared down coldly at the woman who had fallen onto the
floor. “Get out.”
“Get out?” Guinevere looked up at him through her tears. She could hardly believe her ears. Weston
had never treated her so heartlessly before.
“You’re chasing me away,” she blurted between her sobs, “all because of this woman?! Hahahahaha!”
Guinevere burst into a maniacal laughter before burying her face in her hands and wailing bitterly.
“You’ve been lying to me all along! She has always been Stella! You knew it from the start, didn’t you?”
Guinevere lumberingly got back up to her feet. Seeing this, Weston pulled Stella backward to shield her
from Guinevere.
Guinevere sneered at the sight of Weston shrinking away from her as if she was a venomous snake,
and with reddened eyes, she added, “I’d been mocking her for just being Stella’s substitute … Turns
out she has been Stella all along… I must’ve looked like a stupid clown to both of you, huh?
“She’s never been a substitute because she IS Stella!” she shouted wildly, her finger pointing squarely
at Stella’s face.” You’re supposed to be dead! You should’ve stayed dead! Why did you have to come
back to life? Why?!”
Her screeching voice rang through the hall, only to be interrupted by the constant stream of camera
flashes which were all directed at her face-the face that had always looked dignified and elegant, but
now could only be described as delirious.
Chris rose to his feet in the VIP section as he could no longer watch on quietly. He had been sitting
among the members of the Ford family. Beside him was Wendy, who was holding Zachary on her lap
and playing happily with the toddler without a care in the world.
But when she saw Chris standing up, she grabbed his arm and asked, “What do you think you’re
doing?”
Chris brushed her hand away and said nothing. He then headed up to the stage without looking back.
Once he got there, he placed an arm around Guinevere to support her and asserted,“ That’s enough
farce for the day.”
But that did nothing to shut the reporters up. When they all saw that it was Chris, a hail of questions
began to rain down on him.
“May I ask if you, as Weston’s father, knew about his previous marriage all along?”
“Was Guinevere Cohen the homewrecker who caused Weston Ford and Stella Sealey to break up?”
“Since Stella Sealey was the lawful Mrs. Ford, what was Guinevere Cohen trying to achieve when she
announced publicly that she was engaged to Weston Ford?”
