Mr. Ford Is Jealouss by Boad

Chapter 17

can you give me the equivalent value in cash instead?” Weston’s expression darkened upon hearing this. He looked at her. “You only want money?” Stella nodded. “I only need money right now. If you insist on giving me this mansion, I won’t refuse, but I’ll sell it instead.” Then, she frowned. “But I don’t have the contacts for such dealings, so I’m afraid that I might get cheated when I sell the house. If you’re willing to help me out on this, I’d be less troubled.” All expression was gone from his face. He finished his cigarette before saying, “I’ll get my assistant to transfer the money into your account in one transaction.” Stella’s gaze faltered slightly but she nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Ford.” Weston stood up and went over to her. She wasn’t exactly short, but she looked rather tiny in his presence. Stella usually dressed plainly and rarely put on makeup. She only puts on light makeup sometimes for the sake of improving her complexion. But she had luscious black hair that accentuated how flawless her fair skin was.

It may be a minor thing, but women care. Aren’t you afraid that Ms. Cohen might be upset if she learns about this?” Since he was only using her as a tool to incite Guinevere, this marriage was just a lie. Or, she could call it a deal. After all, Weston had given her a huge sum of money when she needed it. Now that she had taken the money and tasted his body, she would bury her feelings within her so no one would find out. The best ending they could have was to be strangers again. He would eventually marry Guinevere, and for now, Stella still couldn’t forget him completely, so meeting him would only cause her grief. So, she would rather have nothing to do with this man anymore. Sure enough, she only had to mention Guinevere and Weston would keep quiet. Stella got into a cab and gave the driver a random location. After the car drove away, she looked at Stardust
