Chapter 798

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 bu
t 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. S
till, she just felt inexplicably... embittered.

She 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 a
nd 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 wo
uld 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 gr
eat 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 suppresse
d 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 li
ps.

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 sche
me 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.

“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
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, s
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
finger as her mind wandered. It occurred to her that perhaps the only way to extinguish the desires in W

That same day, an unknown woman turned up at the Ford Corporation headquarters.
