Chapter 822

In the hotel.

On the big screen was Guinevere’s engagement gift for Weston and Stella.

“Everyone knows that I shared a past with Mr. Ford...”

She looked very mentally stable and rational.

If Stella didn’t know her well enough, she might have thought of Guinevere as the generous ex-fiancee
who was willing to give her blessings.

Weston rubbed in between his brows. “Get her down.”

Stella stopped her, “Let’s see what she’s up to.”

Weston looked down at her with a pained look on his face.

Stella smiled at him and said, “It’s time to make a clean break of things between you and her, isn’t it?”

The moment Guinevere arrived, she went on stage without a preamble.

But she did not do anything beyond conveying her blessings, like any other ordinary guest.

The schedule for the ceremony was clearly displayed on the big screen, making it easy for guests to
keep track of the program. Some family members would also convey their blessings through the big
screen as well.

Weston had originally planned for a simple program that did not involve many activities. He merely
wanted his relatives and good friends to be apprised of Stella’s new status.



However, since Old Mr. Ford was involved, it was bound to be more than just a simple ceremony.

With a history spanning centuries, the relationships and networks the Ford family had to maintain were
beyond one’s imagination.

What’s more, as the undisputed heir of the family, Weston naturally could not have complete rein over
his own marriage.

Stella could understand the intricacies and complexities of such a family.

Weston had given her a heads up that most of the details of the engagement ceremony would be up to
Old Mr. Ford but subsequently promised her that they would be able to decide on things for their own
wedding.

They were not surprised to see the Cohens at the engagement ceremony.

Even though things had soured between both families, they still had ongoing business deals, and the
elders of both families still maintained good ties. It was completely reasonable for the Cohens to send
some representatives to attend the ceremony on the family’s behalf.

But no one expected Guinevere to be sent as the representative.

“Although everyone knows about Weston and my past engagement, we broke things off cordially. Now
that he has found a new partner for himself, I’m naturally happy for him.”

She walked to the control station and connected her phone to the big screen.

“These are some projects and funds that we jointly managed when we were together. Now that we’ve
broken up, we should keep a clear account of things. After all, we still need to raise our son together,
and we need to know clearly where we stand in our finances...”



A curious guest asked, “Ms. Cohen, do you mean to say Ms. Ella came in between you and Weston?”

Guinevere appeared taken aback, “I did not say that. What made you think that way?”

She chuckled uneasily, “I came today precisely because I don’t want anyone misunderstanding Ella.
Although it is a very awkward point in time, she only got together with Weston after things ended
between us...”

She seemed to be speaking up for Stella.

Most guests shared a good relationship with the Fords and the Cohens. The Fords and Cohens
themselves shared a good relationship that spanned over a century.

Someone tried to smooth things over. “Ms. Cohen is right. If Ella really came in between them, why
would Ms. Cohen be so generous as to convey her blessings?”

Some of the female guests weren’t so convinced and remarked sardonically, “She’s either truly very
generous and so kind that she completely fooled by them, or she’s acting stupid! She had just called off
her engagement with Weston, and there he goes, getting engaged to another woman the next minute.
Who would believe they were not having an affair?”

People began mumbling under their breaths.

On the other hand, some others thought that as long as they were not married, there was always a
choice to call things off.

“Breaking up is absolutely normal in relationships! You can’t exactly call her a homewrecker...”

“What are you talking about? So what if they weren’t married? They have a child, for goodness’ sake!
Ella Steele is a homewrecker through and through! ”
