Chapter 702

They would not have said such a thing six months ago.

At that time, even if Weston did have a mistress tucked away somewhere aside, they would’ve just
gotten rid of that woman and tell Guinevere to put up with it.

However, the western suburb project was almost complete. Besides, Weston gave most of the profits to
the Cohen family. They no longer need to rely on the Ford family to speak, so they felt Guinevere’s
marriage with Weston was no longer a big deal.

They became arrogant once their interests were satisfied. This was only normal.

Weston seemed to have expected their reaction. His expression did not change. He only looked at
Stella’s side profile with a faint gaze.

Weston noticed her nervousness as she clutched her palm tightly. He lifted his hand and tucked her
loose hair behind her ear.

His small gesture drew the anger of a few people.

Mrs. Cohen immediately raised her voice. “Just look at him! Look! He’s being so bold in front of us!”

She thumped her heart and took a few steps back in anger. “Weston, are you ignoring us? Don’t you
care about Gwen?”

Furious, Mr. Cohen had a headache. “Weston, say something. Aren’t you going to explain yourself?
Who is this? What’s your relationship with her?!”

Weston withdrew his hand and looked at Stella with hooded eyes. “Tell them.”



Stella froze and looked up at Weston in disbelief. “You…”

Did he want her to define their relationship? Was he not afraid at all? What if she admitted to their
relationship?

If she did, it would put Weston in trouble-she knew just by looking at how Guinevere’s parents reacted.

What did he mean? What did he want to do?

The atmosphere was becoming heated and tense. Guinevere feared that Stella would really admit it,
something that would surely piss her parents off. Thus, she quickly interjected. “Don’t be ridiculous. I
know Weston well, okay? He’s not interested in other women. He’s…”

“Shut up! Did I allow you to speak?” Mr. Cohen cut her off, his face red with fury. “Why are you still
siding him at a time like this? You’re such a disgrace!”

Mrs. Cohen pulled her hand and told her to shut up too.“ You don’t have to explain on their behalf. Let
Weston speak for himself!”

Guinevere called out, “Mom…”

“I told you to shut up! Do you hear me?” Though Mrs. Cohen had always loved her daughter, she didn’t
want to listen to her argument at a time like this.

“You were aggrieved and got pregnant out of wedlock , and you’re still acting like this? Our daughter
isn’t some cheap woman. How can we tolerate him for abusing you like this?”

That was a serious statement.

Guinevere’s face turned ashen. She looked at Weston in distress. Why was Weston not saying
anything? He did not say a word. Was he really going to admit it in silence?



Did he know that if this went on, they would not be able to get married anymore…

As she thought of that, she took a deep breath and walked to Stella. She stood in front of her and
ordered, “Ella, you should explain to my parents. What’s your relationship with Weston?”

Upon Stella opening her mouth, Guinevere immediately interrupted her. “You better think carefully,” she
reminded her quietly. “Do you want to be known as the homewrecker and be despised by everyone in
the circle?”

Stella looked at Guinevere for a moment with gloomy eyes. She remained speechless.

Weston frowned beside her. He said, “Ella, you should leave first.”

Guinevere pinched her palm so hard at that. Those words hurt her.

Even in such a moment, Weston was still so protective of Ella-she was just a replacement. So why was
she so important to him?

Weston did not bother looking at Guinevere at all. He put his hand on Stella’s head and patted her a
little. “Be good. I’ll be done soon.”

Earlier, he told Stella to speak for herself and their relationship because he wanted to give her the
power to decide.
