Chapter 808

In the evening.

Dusk in the early summer always looked mesmerizing. Fiery red clouds rolled across the sky, forming a
stunningly picturesque view from the top floor of the Ford Corporation building.

Stella was eventually carried out of that building.

By the time they were done, every inch of her skin was covered in marks and hickeys.

Weston covered her up with his suit.

Although
he deliberately chose to leave the building at a time when most employees would have left for the day, t
here were still a couple of them who stayed back in the office.

Stella remained obedient in his arms, burying her face in his chest and not daring to look out.

She could feel many stares landing on her on their way out.

When Weston strode past the secretary‘s office, Daisy and everyone else was standing to one side
and greeting Weston.

“Hello, Mr. Ford.”

“Mr. Ford...” Stella heard those greetings, and her face blushed an even deeper red.

After both of them left, one of the secretaries spoke up.

“I‘ve never seen Mr. Ford behave like this in the past...”

“Yeah, he really dotes on her.”



“Even with Guinevere Cohen, he‘d never display his affections so publicly.” Daisy spoke up to cut them
off. “It‘s almost time to leave. Let‘s stop gossiping.”

“Okay, Ms. Daisy.”

The sight of Weston‘s retreating figure with Stella in his arms left an inexplicable aftertaste
on her tongue.

She wondered if it was the right decision to choose Xavier. She
had thought that she stood no chance in this lifetime.

Weston was fated to be with Guinevere. No matter in which regard, she was no match for Guinevere.



The difference in their family backgrounds was a gap she had no way of bridging. Even if she were
lucky, she would only end up as a secret lover always hiding in the dark, like Ella.

She didn’t want that for herself.

That was why she had been keeping her heart in check all this while.

Unlike other wealthy heirs, Xavier Ford was different. He was willing to accord her the formal status of
being his official partner, and he didn‘t face tremendous pressure from his family, either.

Even when he terminated his engagement, he merely received a harsh scolding.

Being with him was her best option.

But Daisy never expected Weston to date Ella so openly right after breaking his engagement with Guine



How was Ella able to easily accomplish something that she found nearly impossible?

In the depths of her heart, Daisy hated conceding defeat.

In the car.

Weston settled Ella in the back passenger seat. She
sat up, and Weston‘s suit slid off her shoulders, exposing the love marks littered all over her skin.

She slung his jacket over her hands, and saw him enter

the car after her, and sat next to her. She couldn‘t
hold back her complaints. “How can I leave the house looking like this?”

She pointed to the hickeys on her neck. “These marks are notoriously
hard to cover up, and they‘re at such a conspicuous place.”

“Then don‘t cover them up,” Weston casually
stated as he caressed her head. “No one will dare to comment.”

Those words only served to upset Stella even more. “Why didn‘t you take the more discreet way just now
