Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Stella’s body trembled as her face turned pale, but she didn’t say a word. Mr. Smith had driven here to fetch Ruby. After settling Ruby in the car, Stella stood at the door and stayed outside. 

Mr. Smith looked at her. “Ms. Steele, aren’t you getting in?” 

Stella shook her head. “I still have something to attend to. Mr. Smith, please send Ruby home first.” 

Ruby stuck her head out of the window. “Mr. Steele, let my dad fetch you home!” Stella, smiling, replied, “I still have something else to do. Go home safe.” 

Although Mr. Smith’s private life wasn’t exactly clean, as Stella remembered all the arrangements he made in the private room, he knew his way around people. He said to Stella,” It’s not safe for a woman to be around so late at night. If you have nothing important, please let me send you home.” 

His words sounded reasonable and kind, and it was hard to associate this man with someone who objectified women. 

Stella shook her head with a smile. There were just too many two-faced people in the world. 

“Thank you, Mr. Smith, for the thought,” she said. “My friend is coming to pick me up.” 

With that, Mr. Smith’s face changed as he looked at Stella with slight curiosity, “Since Ms. 

Steele has things to attend to, we’ll make our move then. Take care on the road.” 

Stella nodded and she looked on as they drove off. 

The look on Mr. Smith’s face clearer indicated that he understood something. 

He had previously coupled Justin with herself. Now that she mentioned a “friend”, he should understand that it’s impossible between Justin and herself, which was why he looked at her that way just now. 

At the very least, he probably won’t involve Justin in the future. 

Her coat was lifted up and Stella helplessly shut her eyes. She was completely at the mercy of his manic whims. 

After a long while, the man lifted his head and looked at her. “How bold of you to come running to a place like this.” 

Stella tried to catch her breath as she lay down, her head turned to the side. “I already told you that I was bringing Ruby here…” 

Weston pinched her chin and forced her to look into his eyes, “Did I allow you to audition?” 

“Didn’t the director explain things to you just now? It was just a casual trial…” 

“Even a casual trial is not allowed,” Weston snapped. He recalled her performing and putting herself on display in front of everyone, and when he thought of her wearing what she was wearing, he couldn’t bear the thought of it. “You are mine. I don’t like the idea of you being exposed to the world.” 

His words pierced through Stella’s heart as she clenched her fists and looked at him with mockery. “Then, what about Guinevere? Isn’t she even more exposed to the world being a famous celebrity?” His eyes narrowed dangerously. “She’s different.”
