Chapter 798 Everyone instantly fell silent. Nobody argued with Daisy. They used to discuss all these things with her
in the past, but things were different now.
Daisy was now Xavier Ford’s girlfriend, after all.
Daisy herself seemed to have changed–she gave off the impression that she held the same position as the
company‘s second–in–command, Wendy Ford.
As time went by, the other employees in the secretarial office no longer regarded her as a colleague but as one of
their bosses. Unsurprisingly, as soon as she appeared, the others immediately clammed up and scattered back to
their respective offices.
Alone, Daisy strode towards the sink and splashed water onto her face. She let out a long sigh, her face echoing the
knotted frustrations she was feeling.
As Xavier‘s girlfriend , she was fully aware that Weston had indeed broken up with Guinevere Cohen. Still, she just
felt inexplicably... embittered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had always presumed that no matter how much Weston liked Ella, he would never break up with Guinevere
Cohen because the difference in their social standing was just too immense to ignore. After all, men never
prioritized love and romance the way women did –
they always separated the emotional matters from the matters of benefits and interests. Daisy had always been
sure that no matter how much Weston loved Ella, he would never do anything that would bring more harm than
benefits to himself.
Yet, to her surprise, Weston would do such a thing as breaking his engagement to Guinevere Cohen, thus spoiling
his relationship with the great Cohen family, just because of Ella...
In that case, didn‘t it mean that she herself had a chance with him too?
Meanwhile, in a cozy but elegantly furnished cafe, Stella was sitting across Wendy at a table. She had never liked
drinking coffee. She hated its bitter taste. Yet, the more she tried it, the more she warmed up to it. She could even
drink a cup of black coffee without any complaints now.
“I‘ve heard everything about what happened between you and Gwen.”
Wendy took a sip from her coffee and put the cup down on the saucer.
“Still,” she sighed, “I never expected her to be capable of doing such a horrible thing.”
Although the truth was not known by the public because the Cohen family had aggressively suppressed the
circulation of the news, the two families involved knew perfectly well who had ordered the kidnapping of Ella Steele.
“It‘s all in the past now,” Stella responded with a blank face, pursing her lips.
She sounded as if she no longer minded it, but Wendy could sense that there was still a trace of resentment in her
heart.
“How has Weston been treating you lately?” she asked, wishing to change the subject.
“He‘s been treating me well.”
“That‘s good to hear,” Wendy replied. “To tell you the truth, I actually like you more than Gwen.”
“You are my goddaughter now,” she continued , “but it doesn‘t really mean anything in the greater scheme of
things. If only you could really join the Ford family, that would be great, wouldn‘t it?”
Stella said nothing. She picked up her cup and sipped her coffee.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“So, how is Zach doing?” she asked, suddenly bringing up Weston and Guinevere‘s child.
Wendy was initially startled, but she then smiled and understood what Stella was implying. “Zach had been with his
nannies all day lately,” she told
Stella. “The Cohen family doesn‘t seem to be that interested in him. Not even his own mother had paid much
attention to him.”
“Really?” asked Stella, puzzled. “But judging by how much she loves Weston, shouldn‘t she be doting on their son?
Why would she ignore him like that?“.
“I wouldn‘t say she completely ignored Zach ,” Wendy shrugged. “She would play the affectionate mummy‘s role
whenever it benefited her, but as soon as Zach was useless to her, she‘d set him aside as if he‘d never existed.”
She paused, then, with a meaningful smile, added, “If you were to be Zach‘s mother instead, I‘m sure you‘d do a
much better job...”
Stella smiled and made no comments. Her mind seemed to be preoccupied… She stroked the diamond ring on her
finger as her mind wandered. It occurred to her that perhaps the only way to extinguish the desires in Weston‘s
heart was through Zach, after all...
That same day, an unknown woman turned up at the Ford Corporation headquarters.
