Chapter 993

She heard Weston from above her head, saying in a low voice. “But...” Stella said quietly. It was as if
she didn‘t want to alert the bystanders. “You are hurt, aren‘t you?”

He said nonchalantly, “It‘s just a minor thing. Don‘t worry about it.” He pressed her back. “Were you
hurt?”

She shook her head.

She was completely untouched.

He had protected her so well that not once inch on her skin had been scathed.

She could clearly feel his tense body easing a little when she responded.

With his big warm palm caressing her back gently, he didn‘t fail to comfort her. “Don‘t be scared. No
one will hurt you now.”

She clutched his suit jacket hard with trembling hands.

The sudden attack hadn‘t only left her terrified but left many complicated and indistinguishable feelings
inside

her.

She did not expect that he would stand in front of her without a second thought.

Even she knew that the bottle that the man held might contain acid.



The thought would‘ve surely crossed his mind, yet he still instinctively and subconsciously shielded
her.

It was like her hatred was coated with a layer of honey, and her burning fire of revenge was covered
with a layer of warm sand.

It could neither burn nor extinguish.

The torment was unbearable.

Why was this man always like that? He could never give her an easy time.

He made her unable to love or hate him.

Ben brought some men to search the whole manor but failed to find his accomplice.

“Did you just lie? Were you stalling for time by lying about an accomplice?”

That man raised his head. His face was already swollen like a balloon, but he still stubbornly said, “I
told you I have countless accomplices standing with me. It’s just that they are not here. If they knew
what I have done,

they would‘ve clapped for me!”

When he said that, he sounded a bit regretful.“ Unfortunately, I did not destroy Stella‘s face...”

The moment he said that, Ben instantly slashed at his face with a knife.

“Argh!”

A piercing shriek was heard Ben placed the knife against his chin. “Countless accomplices? Then I will
cut your face a million times. We‘ll see who claps and cheers in the end.”



This man seemed to be a normal person, but he might just be a bit psychotic and paranoid.

Ben had been with Weston since he was a kid, and had seen all kinds of big scenes.

The business field was like a battlefield, where dirty tactics were not uncommon.

When Weston was young, he was assassinated because he had touched someone‘s cake.

There were also many undercover spies sent by the other parties just to get first–hand information from
him to sell to the opponent.

Even when he was a student, these deceitful tricks had never stopped.

By now, they had experienced so many attacks and ambushes. Dealing with this kind of minion was out
of the question.

He had all sorts of ways to torture him.

He soon found something in his pocket

“What‘s your relationship with Guinevere?”

When Ben found the evidence , his face turned gloomy, and he questioned him. “Why is your phone full
of her pictures?”

“She had nothing to do with this!” The slightly obese man lay on the ground in an awkward position. He
resisted at first.

However, after a little of Ben‘s persuasion methods, he immediately howled in pain. “I... I am a fan of
Gwen!”
