Xavier found his idea a little absurd. He smiled and told Warren, “I know Chris is afraid that I’d marry Zeta and
compete with him for the family fortune. I know you’ve been troubled about this. You’re worried that we won’t get
along well…
“But today, Weston has given most of the profits to the Cohen family. I’ve broken off my engagement too. You don’t
have to worry about dividing the family fortune anymore.”
What he had said made Warren glance at him a few more times. He seemed less annoyed than he was before.
Meanwhile, inside the dimly lighted guest room.
Stella waited for a while before she managed to ease her breathing. Then, she checked the time. “Aren’t you afraid

not let me catch you leaving any marks on my neck.”
Weston pulled her closer and helped tidy her messy hair.“ You begged me so much earlier. I just couldn’t bear to go
against you.”
He rubbed the tender and soft skin behind her ear. If he could, he wanted to leave his mark on her. ‘What a shame.
Stella glared at him again. She wondered how he could say these things so shamelessly.
He was the one who enjoyed the deed, but he made it sound like she was the one who had taken the most

soft light from the hallway.
Stella did not bother looking at him. After she had tidied her clothes, she wanted to push the door open and leave.
Weston wrapped his arms around her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. He kissed her on the
earlobe and muttered, “Why are you leaving in such a hurry?” “Why not? Should I wait to be caught doing this with

When Weston had let go of his hand, Stella stood up straight. She pushed the door open and walked out. She
thought no one would see them because Guinevere and Chris had left. She did not expect Weston to come out after
her after she walked a few steps.
Stella stopped in her tracks. “Didn’t we just agree that we would leave one after another?”
“Why are you so scared ?” Weston walked up to her and looked at her with lowered eyes. “Don’t you trust me? I
said I’d protect you.”
Stella’s mouth twitched. All she felt was the sharp pain in her ankle.
