Mr. Ford is Jealous

Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Ben stared at her in confusion. He had never expected Stella to make a request of him. Moments later, he came to a realization. “Mr. Sealey has agreed to Mr. Ford’s suggestion. He will change his name and relocate to another city with you. Mr. Ford will also bear all of his medical bills henceforth, including a compensation fee for you.”
Then, he reported an acceptable number.
The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched. This amount was enough to make her the richest person in small towns.
“Since Roger has agreed, we’ll go with that.” She closed her eyes before abruptly opening them again. “There’s one person I’d like to see.”
“Who?”
“The culprit who had kidnapped me that day.”
Ben fell silent as he stared at her with conflict in his eyes.
Stella found it amusing. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll insist on going through with my evil desires and scheme against Guinevere?”

She understood well that Weston wouldn’t believe her. No one in the world would anymore.
No matter how many times she repeated that Guinevere was the one who had hired the kidnappers, other people would just think she was insane.
Ben quickly replied, “I didn’t mean that. I just need to get Mr. Ford’s opinion on this.” Stella closed her eyes. “Okay, go on then.”.

“She really said that?”
Inside the office, Weston put down his document. Ben stood before his table, looking down. “Ms. Sealey has agreed, so I’m sure it must mean she’s willing to see you.” Weston kept quiet, wearing an indescribable expression. He looked down at the tip of his pen that had just drawn a dark streak on the white sheet of paper. The dark color in his eyes was so intense it couldn’t dissolve away.
A moment later, he said hoarsely, “I thought she wouldn’t want to see me.”
He had gone to visit Stella once when she had woken up a long time ago.
Back then, she had been emotionally disturbed and shouted in the ward that she never wanted to see him ever again.
Weston had paused in his steps. Alas, he could only leave.
He had gone a few more times after that, but only after she had fallen asleep. After hearing Ben’s report, he seemed a little dazed,
Ben took a guess at his thoughts and asked, “Mr. Ford, should I tell Ms. Sealey that you’re busy with work?”
“No.”
