Chapter 311
She originally thought that her chance to make it big had finally arrived but little did she expect that it would mean the end for her.
At Stardust Mansion.
In the kitchen.
Stella retracted her gaze and pretended that she overheard nothing.
She sipped on the cold water that slid down her throat, clearing her befuddled mind.
She heard how heartless and ruthless Weston was when he spoke to that woman over the phone.
Stella did not care about the women that Weston had outside, but the outcome of the woman on the phone made her wary.
She warned herself that no matter when or where, she should never forget that men were inherently unreliable.
When he fancied it, he could treat another woman just as he treated her; with tender love and care that would mesmerize and captivate her soul.
But when he left on his whim and fancy, he was no different from a stranger,
Having experienced his heartlessness for a long time, Stella refused to be fooled by him again.
Stella remained silent.
Suddenly, she sneered and said, “Are you sure you didn‘t say anything over the phone just now?”
He paused for a while as realization dawned upon him. “Were you eavesdropping on me?” he chuckled
Stella pursed her lips, clearly displeased. She turned her face away, refusing to look at him. Weston‘s spirits lifted immensely. “You heard everything?” He turned her face towards him again. “No wonder you‘re mad. What exactly did you hear? Tell me.” Stella grimaced, and said, “Nothing, I just think that you‘re being rather stingy, Mr. Ford. That woman in Lowe Garden was with you for quite a while but you dismissed her with that little bit of money?” She forced herself to pretend she cared. He knew that Weston liked her behaving like this, and she wanted to lower his guard. “What else could I do? Should I treat her like I treat you, spending so much time and effort to please you, but to no avail?”
Weston bit Stella‘s lower lip. “I don‘t have that much time to please so many women.“
