Chapter 1132

But Lucas’s words only sought to rile Yvonne’s anger.

“What if he never gets over it?!” she asked. “Is he going to wait till Stella’s body rots and stinks before he does

something about it?!”

“Calm down,” he replied. “None of this is my fault, so don’t take it out on me. It’s pointless.”

Lucas reached out a hand and pulled her down to sit on his lap.

“In two days,” he said, looking at her, “I’ll be leaving for a work trip. You’ll probably have to be home alone for a

while.”

Yvonne paused and turned towards him.

“But you’ve always brought me along when you’re on a work trip!” she argued. “What’s the problem?”

Hadn’t she always been by his side whenever he was on a work trip?

“But it’s different this time,” he answered, looking seriously at her while tucking her hair behind her ear. “I might

have to go to a very remote place this time. There’s been an infectious disease outbreak, and I don’t want you to

be there. It’s very dangerous.”

“If it’s dangerous for me,” she argued, “then it must be dangerous for you too, right?”

Yvonne suddenly realized something and moved on his lap, but in the next moment, Lucas pinched her waist to

make her stay still.

“No!” she insisted. “I’m going with you too!”

“No,” Lucas grabbed her hand and patiently reassured her, “it’s really too dangerous for you. You’ll only be a

burden to me. I’m going with the intention to help them, but with you there, I’d have to divide my attention, and

that’s not ideal.”

Yvonne pursed her lips tightly and stared at him

stubbornly.

Lucas couldn’t help but sigh.

“Aren’t you worried about Stella right now?” he asked. “ What if Weston thought it through suddenly and decided. to

give her a proper funeral, but you’re not here to send her off for the last time?”

Those words instantly hit Yvonne’s raw nerves.

As Stella’s friend, she had always felt herself inadequate and regretted that she never helped her enough. She had

so many opportunities to help Stella in the past. She should have done more back then, but all she did was

helplessly watch as Stella jumped into the fiery pit of hell.

“If only our family was more powerful than Weston Ford …” she sighed. “If I’d known it would end up this way, I

would’ve taken her away from him. I wouldn’t have let her end up like this.”

“Are you forgetting that you’re a woman?” Lucas chuckled softly. “What would you do with her once you’ve taken

her away from him?”

“Don’t worry,” she glared at him, “I don’t like women in that way. I just…”

The more she spoke about Stella, the more she sighed with melancholy, and her heart grew gloomier and gloomier.

It was almost unbearable to even think about her.

“I need to go calm myself down,” she said, pushing Lucas away and rising to her feet. “I’ll think of a way to make

Weston come to his senses. The weather is getting warmer, and if Stella doesn’t get a proper funeral soon, things

might get really ugly…”

Meanwhile, Bradley Lane had been going everywhere, inquiring about Weston.

At the time, the whole of Ahn City was guessing what Weston would do. All the evidence he had prepared to prove

Stella’s innocence was now useless since she was already dead.

Yet he still would not let anyone see Stella’s body at all.

Stardust Mansion was heavily guarded around the clock, and nobody could get through to the inside.

Apart from Joan, the housekeeper, who would occasionally enter and exit the mansion, no one else knew the real

situation that they were in.

No one could contact Weston Ford, so as his personal assistant, Ben became the target of public criticism. Still, Ben

was completely powerless to do anything. All he could do was to follow Weston’s orders, nothing more.

Soon, those people learned that they could never tease anything out of Ben’s mouth, so they shifted their attention

to Xavier Ford instead.

Xavier Ford had been extremely busy lately. Even his girlfriend Daisy had not contacted him much at all. Having just

dealt with a big project, he saw Bradley Lane approaching him from a distance as soon as he stepped out of the

car.

“Where is Weston Ford right now? Where has he been hiding Stella? He’s taken too long! Isn’t he going to come out

yet? How long will he hide in his shell like a tortoise?”

Bradley hit Xavier with a barrage of questions as soon as they met.
