Chapter 688

The air froze for a moment.

Guinevere thought she was hallucinating.

Why else would she see Ella at the Ford mansion? Why was she standing next to Wendy? When did
the two of them get together? Besides, Ella should be in the hospital by now! The person she had sent
out said the job was done.

She had thought Ella would be hurt and stay hospitalized for at least ten days or half a month.She
might not die, but she should have been badly injured.

How could she be standing here alive and well? How could that be?! The other guests had not seen
Ella before and were a little curious about her.

No one spoke first.

Guinevere returned to her senses and finally reacted.

Weston was standing right next to her.She looked up sharply to see his expression and called out,
"Weston.."

Weston remained silent and looked straight in front.

Weston’s eyes were fixed on Stella as soon as she entered the room.He didn't conceal his gaze at
all.He focused all his attention on her and no one else.

Stella stood at the door and looked at the various expressions of the people inside.



Suddenly, she found it interesting.She was particularly curious about Weston and Guinevere, who
stood next to each other like a perfect couple.She wondered how they felt about her appearance here.

Wendy held her hand with a smile.

"I’m sorry for being late.I picked up a friend on the way.I’m glad I made it in time.."

Mrs.Cohen was a little displeased, but she did not say anything.

After all, it was Zachary’s birthday party.She stood up and walked to Wendy.

"It’s okay.You were late, but it didn't affect anything.By the way, Wendy...who's this?"

She looked at Stella and asked the question that most people in the room wanted to ask.

Wendy smiled.

When she was about to introduce Stella to the rest, a quarrel suddenly came from the courtyard
outside.

"You fool! How dare you bring her here today! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

It was Warren’s voice.He was clearly furious.

Mr.Cohen and Chris looked at each other in dismay.

They stood up and asked, "What's going on outside?"

The butler hurried over and reported the situation.

"Mr.Warren is lecturing Mr.Xavier outside.He seems really angry.."

Wendy and Chris exchanged a glance.



They vaguely knew what had happened.

Xavier probably said he wanted to break off his engagement with Zeta, so he had made Warren angry.

As the group walked out and reached the pavilion, they heard Warren lecturing Xavier angrily.

"Pve spoiled you too much! You’re already a grown-up.Why are you still so immature?! How can you
easily call off an engagement whenever you want?"

Warren was standing beside the fountain.His hair was completely white.He wore a black plush
trenchcoat and looked unruffled.His age had left traces on his face.He was old, but his voice was still
full of vigor.

"You can say all you want, but why did you bring her back? What is this? Are you trying to embarrass
me?"

He pointed to Xavier in front of him.Then, he pointed to Daisy next to Xavier with disgust in his eyes.

"You’re betraying Zeta for a woman like that? How am I supposed to explain to my old comrades in the
Taylor family?!"

Xavier had known this would happen, but he did not expect Warren to be so furious.

"Dad, it's the 21st century! Free love is a thing now.I don’t want to spend my life with a woman I don’t
love.."

"How dare you!"

Warren lifted his hand and directly slapped Xavier in his face.
