Chapter 1416Chapter 1416
If she was right, Weston had tied himself up again.
Stella stood in the doorway, her hand on the wall, not daring to take that step even after a good bout of
mental preparation.
It was unclear how much time had gone by before she knocked on the door.
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebook“Bang!” Something was smashed inside the room. It hit the door and fell to the ground, and broke.
“I told you to get lost! Can’t you understand?”
Stella took a deep breath and said to the person inside, “It’s me.”
In an instant, the voice inside subsided.
She did not know how long it took, so long that Stella thought she should knock on the door again when
Weston’s raspy voice rang from inside.
“What are you doing here?”
She let out an unintentional chuckle. “What do you think I’m doing here?”
There was no answer.
She heard dragging footsteps coming in the direction of the door and the sound of chains scraping on
the floor.
Her breathing became a little slower as she waited for him to reach the door.
The sound of chains clanking came to an abrupt end, seemingly stopping at thatspot.
She frowned. “What’s wrong?”
His silence continued, and the clanking instantly stopped.
She suddenly wondered if his movement was restricted, and she thought of the last time she saw him
inside that dimly lit room, chained up inside a steel cage where he could not move more than a few
steps.
She put her hand on the doorknob. “Where is the key?”
He did not say a word, so she slapped hard on the door at once. “I am asking you where the key is.”
Still, he didn’t answer.
She took a deep breath. “You don’t want to tell me, do you? Alright, I have another way to get it.”
She went to Ben and asked, “What the hell is going on with Weston? Why did he lock himself in his room
again?”
Seeing her coming over, Ben breathed a sigh of relief and said with some concern, Mr. Ford ordered that
no one can let him out now…”
“He’s nuts. Now that he’s acting crazy, are you about to go crazy with him?”
She looked at Ben in disbelief. “Ben, I thought you were a sensible man.”
Ben was embarrassed.
Even though he knew it, he could not stop Weston from doing what he wanted!
He was just an employee.“Mr. Ford is in an extreme mental state. If I don’t follow his order, he won’t be able to resist going to
you…”
“Then just let him come.”
She said helplessly, “It’s better than him locking himself up! Look at him now. Does he look like a normal
person?”
“But…”
He did not know what to say.
Weston was just worried that he would bring trouble to Stella if he went back to her. This was why he tied
himself up in this place.
But now that Stella said so, Ben felt she was not so heartless to Weston.
Ultimately, he took the liberty of giving the key to Stella. “If Mr. Ford blames me…‘
“Don’t worry. If he does, tell him to blame me instead.”
“Thank you, Ben,” she interrupted.
“You don’t have to.”
Ben hurriedly shook his head and sighed. “I don’t want to see Mr. Ford continue like this. I hope this time
he can recover.”
