Chapter 705

‘Does he really have feelings for Ella? Just like how he once had feelings for Stella. He suddenly fell in
love with her after she died.’

‘When someone that looks so similar to Stella appears, he ends up pouring all his feeling into her.’

Guinevere felt threatened by her thoughts. Even so, she refused to admit it.

“Dad, Mom. Grandpa is right. Weston probably made an unintentional mistake. He was never a person
like that. I’m sure Ella must be the one who seduced him!” She could not help but speak for Weston.

If her parents assumed that Weston was involved with Ella, they would prevent her from marrying
Weston because of their pride. That was not what she wanted.

The only other person who did not want the same thing to happen was Chris—he did not want Weston
and Guinevere’s marriage to go wrong. He had always looked forward to seeing their relationship
improve. That was the only way he could be at ease.

Otherwise, Guinevere might be emotionally unstable and expose their secret someday.

Chris could never accept such a result. It wasn’t something he could live with. “Gwen is right. Weston
has always been a good boy. He has never made Wendy and me worry since he was a child. This
woman must have seduced him!”

His words sounded a little inappropriate and out of place.

Warren glared at him. “Shut up! It’s not your turn to speak!”



Warren was still ultimately the one in control of the Ford family. Although he was gradually segregating
his power, his words still carried plenty of weight.

Chris’s eyes flickered. Then, he retreated to the side.

Guinevere wanted to say more, but Mrs. Cohen was embarrassed by her. She raised her hand and
directly slapped her. “Shut up! Let us handle this. Don’t you say another word!”

“Slap!” Guinevere fell to the floor and was a little dumbfounded from the slap. She looked at the woman
in front of her in a daze. “Mom…!

She never thought her mother would ever hit her!

Mrs. Cohen felt bad about it, but she had to be stern. “He has already done you wrong. Why do you still
speak for him? You’re a disgrace to our family!”

Personal interests and pride remained the most important to a powerful family like theirs. Now that they
could reap the benefits in hand, they would not discard their pride.

Mr. Cohen had stayed silent the whole time. At last, he spoke with an extremely cold voice.

“If you guys think you can neglect Gwen because she gave you a son, you’re wrong! It’s just a child. It’s
not like we can’t afford to raise him ourselves!”

Guinevere’s heart trembled at her father’s word.

She had to ask for Weston’s help. She glared at Weston and yelled, “Say something! Weston! She’s
the one who seduced you, right?”

Weston looked down at her with hooded eyes and helped her up from the floor.

A ray of joy flashed in Guinevere’s eyes, thinking he must’ve relented and was finally softening for her.



However, what he said next went in a completely different direction.

“No one can force me to do something I don’t want to do.”

That one sentence changed the tension around them drastically.

Mrs. Cohen was so angry that she took a deep breath and dragged Guinevere back. “He has spoken!
Why are you still defending him?”

Mr. Cohen looked at Weston and questioned sternly, “Are you saying you’re staying with that woman by
choice and that you’ve wronged Gwen?”

Weston’s eyes were cool. “Yes, I’m sorry. I’ve given the western suburbs project to you. We can help
you with the follow-up…”

“Shut up!” Mr. Cohen cut him off at once. “What do you mean by that? Do you think you can
compensate us with that tens of billions?”

That was indeed the fact, but they weren’t about to allow their pride to be hurt just like that.

Mr. Cohen directly announced with a cold face, “I’ll never let my daughter suffer in your family. Let’s call
off the marriage!”.
