Chapter 898

Ben was already waiting for Weston in the office with a stack of documents in hand, ready to accompany him to the meeting, when he was signalled to wait outside as Weston continued his phone call.

“I don‘t think this is up for discussion, Grandpa. If the Cohen family still insists, let them come straight to me.”

“Weston,” Warren sighed. “I completely understand you. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn‘t agree to it myself ... but regardless of everything that‘s happened, Guinevere is still Zack‘s mother. No matter how much resentment you harbor for each other, we must never do anything that could sever our ties with the Cohens, do you understand? Besides...”

Warren paused and turned to look at Stella before adding, “All the gossip and news of your scandals have turned our family into a laughing stock. We‘ll have to maintain our reputation this time. We‘ll just let Guinevere attend the wedding, that‘s all. We‘ll make sure that she stays in a secret corner that no reporters would ever find.”

He knew that if he didn‘t agree with him now, he would simply find other ways to get what he wanted. He might even drag Stella in...
