Chapter 85
He had no idea what had gotten into him that turned him into a despicable hypocrite at that moment. He
handed the bag of medicine over to Stella and said, “The doctor said that it isn’t much of a problem, just
some aphrodisiac fragrance. You are highly allergic to such things which was why you had such a huge
reaction. Just head home and have a good rest.”
Stella nodded and looked at Justin.
Despite the fact that his wounds were already treated, it was clear that Weston used a lot of force in that
punch.
The corner of Justin’s lips was badly swollen and the bloodshot black and blue area looked terrifying
Stella felt guilt wash over her. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Hall, to have created trouble for you.” Even someone
as mature and steady as Justin felt somewhat embarrassed at being beaten up so badly by another man
in front of a woman he liked. .
He touched the corner of his lips gently and said nonchalantly, “Only childish people solve problems with
violence.”
Stella chuckled lightly. It was the first time someone had described Weston as childish. Justin shrugged
off his jacket and covered Stella’s shoulders with it. “It’s cold at night. I’ll send you home first.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella instinctively wanted to return his jacket back, but Justin held her wrists to stop her.” That will only
make me feel like I must be a terrible person, to have my help rejected so blatantly by you.”
“I don’t have any other intention, Ella. If tonight’s incident were to happen to any other innocent woman, I
wouldn’t turn a blind eye to it. Don’t be too burdened by me.”

A man of his age would definitely have experience with women. Stella was certainly his type, and he
genuinely wanted to get to know her more. He wasn’t in a hurry to rush things at this point. “I called Robb
just now to explain the situation to him. He knows that you’re very safe now and is probably already
asleep.”
Upon his words, Stella heaved a sigh of relief that she did not know she was holding in.” Thank you, Mr.
Hall.”
She had no idea how to repay him aside from thanking him. Justin smiled helplessly. “Get in the car. I’ll
send you home.” Along the way, things were exceptionally quiet in the car. Justin would occasionally
throw Stella a glance through the rearview mirror as his fingers gently tapped against the steering wheel.
He opened his mouth to speak upon seeing her features relax slightly, “Pardon me for asking:
What is your relationship with Mr. Ford? Of course, feel free to not answer my question if it makes you
feel uncomfortable.”
Stella was stunned for a moment. When she snapped back to attention, she shook her head, and said, “I
walked to the wrong private room and accidentally provoked him. I had no idea why he kept pestering
me…”
“Is that so?”
Although her answer wasn’t far from Justin’s guess, he still felt like something was wrong.” Based on
what I know, Weston Ford is not one who dabbles much with women. You should have heard about the
fact that he has a family. I’ve never seen him lose control that way with a woman.”

He shook his head and looked at Stella, “He’s not a person you want to meddle with. Ella, I know you
probably have guessed that I do have some feelings for you. We’re all grown adults and there’s no point
hiding such things. Even if things are not possible between us, for your own sake, I want to warn you to
stay away from a man like Weston Ford. You can’t afford to get involved with the likes of him.”
Stella remained silent, her head leaning against the window. Suddenly, she chuckled, “I only wish I could
avoid him completely.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough she wore a smile on her face, her eyes were filled with intense disgust and hatred.
Justin didn’t overthink things, and simply thought that she hated men like Weston Ford who forced
himself upon others. “It’s good that you think so. I hope you protect yourself well. Of course, feel free to
come to me for help whenever you need it.” It was a casual remark, but it had seemingly crossed the
line.

Justin saw slight awkwardness in Stella’s face and immediately changed the subject. “You’re already fully
booked at the training center. Why do you still need to do home tutoring ? This will make things very
busy for you. Are you short of money?”
IIIIII
At the mention of this, Stella exhaled and said with fatigue, “It’s not really that I’m short of money, just
that…”
She looked at the street lights passing by them as her thoughts drifted. “Robb’s condition isn’t too good,
and we’re always in need of money. Although we’re not in dire straits right now, there will eventually
come a day where we need the money. Work is the only way I feel truly secure right now…” Before she
could complete her sentence, a black luxury car suddenly appeared right before them on the road.
It appeared out of nowhere and blocked the path right in front of them!
