Chapter 750

Daisy had no clue about what was going on in the office, and her face was dark and solemn.

When Xavier left the office, she noticed that his mood had turned remarkably better. So she plucked up
her courage and asked, “What exactly happened just now?”

Xavier looked at her, “Nothing…when are you knocking off from work today? Let’s go on a date.”

Daisy finally relaxed upon seeing his fine mood. Thus, curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, “I
saw you charging in so furiously, and I was worried… it’s good that you two didn’t start fighting.”

Xavier smiled as he recalled how Weston’s eyes turned cold. It eased the tension in his chest, and he
considered himself avenged.

The office was in a wreck.

When Ben walked in with documents in hand, he saw shattered glass all over the floor and got a shock,
uncertain as to what made Weston so furious.

“Mr…. Mr. Ford…”

Ben saw the fearsome look on Weston’s face and didn’t dare ask any further. He put down the
documents and said, “This is the report you asked for.” Then he left.

Weston sat in dead silence at his desk.

Blood dripped from a deep gash on his wrist, probably from the broken glass shards, though he didn’t
seem to feel the pain.

The blood dripped onto the dark cherry wood of his desk, forming an ominous and dark scene.



He originally had his doubts about those vitamins that Stella was consuming, but because he trusted
her, he never got down to investigate it.

Now that he had the test report in his hands, he recalled what Xavier had said earlier.

His face turned frigid as he opened the envelope.

It was in black and white, and the truth was undeniable.

Very well.

He gritted his teeth and smiled brokenly. “Very well.”

Stella couldn’t bear sleeping with him, so much so that she had to be under medication.

He didn’t even sense that anything was wrong.

His face was half shrouded in darkness as a storm brewed in his eyes.

At the apartment.



Now that Stella was in a new environment, she had to pay attention to the details when video calling
Roger.

Previously, when video calling him at Stardust Mansion, she would always adjust her surroundings to
make sure that Roger could not tell where she was.

The last time she stayed at the Ford Mansion, she made it such that Roger could only see her face
dominating the screen without much background.



After the video call connected—

Roger’s face appeared on her screen.

“Stella,” he greeted.

Stella was happy to see him. “I heard that you won an award at a competition?”

Roger nodded, but he didn’t look the least thrilled.

Stella noticed it immediately and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Roger shook his head and suddenly asked, “Stella, are you in a relationship?”

He realized that every time he video called Stella, he would only see her face and nothing much of the
background.

He didn’t think much of it when Riley first pointed it out to him, but he soon began to find it strange.

Stella was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had realized something. She then asked nervously,
“No, why would you think that way?”

At her prompt denial, Roger fell silent.

A while later, he said almost bitterly, “Stella, if you’re in a relationship, you must tell me about it. I won’t
stop you.”

“Of course, I know you won’t.”

Stella added jokingly, “Since when were you in the position to stop me from being in a relationship?”

“But don’t hide things from me. I will get anxious…



“…what if your partner is terrible?” Roger couldn’t help but add. “ What if he hurts you or cheats on
you?”

“I’m an adult. You don’t have to worry so much about me.”

“How could I not?” Roger suddenly became agitated. “Stella, are you really in a relationship?”

Stella didn’t want to reply to him. “I’vealready told you that I’m not. Stop imagining things!”

Roger was about to say something when Stella heard the digital lock on her door unlock on her end.
