A service staff walking past the corridor jumped in shock from his sudden movement and immediately
plastered herself against the wall, not daring to move an inch.
Weston ignored her completely and headed outside in quick, huge strides. He pulled at his collar, but
still felt stuffy despite being in the fresh night air.
After he left, the people in the private room finally had the freedom to speak their minds.
“I was so frightened just now. I’ve never seen Mr. Ford behave as scary as he was just now…”
“Having known him for so many years, who knew that someone would have the guts to offend the high
and mighty Weston Ford of Ahn City, the man whom everyone must bow down to!”
He was like a sleeping lion, a natural king of the jungle, staring down from his lofty and superior
position at all the small and insignificant creatures below him fighting and fussing amongst themselves.
Someone like him never bothered to blow his top. Not because he had a good temper, but because no
one dared to ruffle his feathers.
Everyone in the room exchanged glances as they thought about that woman from just now, confused
and perplexed by what was going on.
Stella could hardly stand straight. Justin had to hold her up while trying to hail a car.
He had originally wanted to use the excuse of joining a drinking session as a reason for bumping into
Stella, but he didn’t expect that he didn’t even need to use the excuse he prepared beforehand.
The black car ground to a halt right before them.
Justin was about to help Stella into the car when a huge force pulled him from behind.
Before he could react, he felt a blow to his face.
The punch was so strong that he stumbled a few steps back, unable to see clearly who the attacker
was.
Searing pain shot through his face, and his nose bridge felt like it had broken into two pieces.
He felt dizzy as the world spun before him and almost lost his balance.
He instinctively released his grip over Stella who then fell on her side without his support. Just then, a
strong pair of arms dragged her into his embrace.
Weston held her in one arm, the other supporting the back of her head and leaning it against his
shoulders.
He felt her breath, hot and heavy, and fury boiled over in his heart. He flung a chilly glance at Justin,
“Do you have a death wish? How dare you touch her?”
Justin had barely recovered from the wave of dizziness and intense pain when he heard the
ferocious threat coming from the man before he could even lift up his head to take a good look at who
he was.
That voice was so familiar…
The moment he looked into Weston’s eyes, he said in utter shock, “It’s you?”
Justin was a university professor and was not unfamiliar with the business world. He was even
considered a relatively important figure in the industry, and had naturally heard about Weston Ford.
What he did not expect was for Stella and Weston to know each other!
The sight of Weston forcefully pulling Stella into his arms made his pupils dilate, “Who is Ella to you?”
“None of your business,” Weston hauled Stella up in his arms and turned around to leave.
Driven by an unknown impulse , Justin suddenly stood up and said, “Mr. Ford, I have no idea what’s
your relationship with Ella, but isn’t it inappropriate for you to bring her away so recklessly?” He wiped
away the blood trickling from the corner of his lips. “Should you at least ask Ella whether she’s willing to
leave with you?” Weston halted in his footsteps and looked coldly at him, “Even if she’s not willing to
leave with me, would she even want to leave with you?”
Justin looked unflinchingly into his eyes. “Mr. Ford, you are a man with a family. Everyone knows that
you’re married to Ms. Cohen and have a child together. I don’t know what’s taken over you to suddenly
want to try something new and fresh, but Ella is not like other women in the industry. She can’t afford to
get involved with the likes of you, so please show some mercy and let her go.”
“Show some mercy?”
Weston looked like he had heard a joke. “Who are you to her? What right do you have to talk to me like
that?”
