Mr. Ford Is Jealous

She had no choice but to mention Old Mr. Ford. 

Xavier was naturally fearful of him, and he took a deep breath before sneering, “Not bad, you even managed to convince that old man.” Zeta’s brows furrowed upon hearing their exchange. She turned to Stella. “You know Old Mr. Ford?” 

Xavier rubbed his wrist, “I’ve already warned you that this woman isn’t decent, and you had better stay away from her. She’s the culprit behind Weston and Guinevere calling off their engagement…”

She doesn’t want to see you and has nothing to do with you whatsoever! Old Mr. Ford has also warned you not to bother her any further. Bring your Daisy with you and  scram far away!”
