    Chapter 59


    “You could have rejected her invitation.” “Even if I did, she would be able to find another way to probe


    me,” Ste said mockingly, “Mr. Ford, you’re very simr to her. You should be aware of how people like


    you and Ms. Cohen behave. Even though I refuse to meet with you, I find myself in your car against my


    will.”


    Free will was a false notion given the difference in their status.


    It was a pity that Ste only understood this cruel reality after paying a hefty price. The car stopped in a


    suburban neighborhood.


    It was a rtively deserted ce, with no cars in sight even after a long period.


    Weston flicked the ashes of his cigarette as smoke wrapped around his fingers. The deep, dark lines


    along his side profile looked even more mysterious under the smoke.


    Ste waited for a long while, but he never opened his mouth. She unfastened her seatbelt. “Mr. Ford,


    what exactly do you want?” “Keep away from Gwen.”


    The four words sliced through her heart like a knife.


    Ste’s eyes trembled. Her heart had long been torn to pieces; how could she still feel that subtle throb


    of pain? But it was subtle and no longer as deep and searing as before.

    She remained silent for a while before saying, “You should tell her that instead. Or rather, tell yourself


    that. Anyhow, stay away from me, you both”


    Weston put out his cigarette and folded his arm back into the car. He looked straight into


    Ste’s eyes and said, “Your face makes her suspicious. If you don’t want your new life to be rudely


    interrupted, keep your distance from her.”


    Ste pursed her lips. “In that case, why didn’t you send Roger and me to an even further and more


    secluded city? Or even to another country? You should have considered something like this happening


    by settling us down in Freemont City.” No one offered an exnation to her question.


    Weston looked at the cigarette he had put out between his fingers. Emotions stirred deep within his


    dark eyes, but it was difficult to tell what he was thinking.


    Ben had asked him the same question too. “Mr. Ford, isn’t Freemont City too risky? Although it does


    allow us to keep a close watch over Ms. Sealey and her brother, it also increases the risk of someone


    else finding them out.”

    He himself did not know what he was thinking.


    By the time he snapped back to attention, he was clear about only one thing: He had to keep Ste


    right under his nose.


    It was an ident that day at the Quirk’s residence. Weston naturally knew that Stecked


    the ability to deliberately appear before them.


    He should have quickly defused the situation and minimized the impact that Ste’s appearance had


    on Guinevere.


    That was the most rational way.


    Yet, as if he was possessed by a ghost, he made the most ridiculous proposal: To send her home along


    the way.


    Even Yvonne could tell that something was fishy, what more Guinevere.


    Weston suddenly hated himself for losing self-control. He collected himself and said in a tone cold as


    ice, “Since you requested it yourself, I can send you and Roger out of the country.”


    Ste lifted her head and looked at him in disbelief, “What do you treat us as? Sending us away


    wherever you please?” She pushed the car door open agitatedly, “We have no rtionship whatsoever,


    Weston Ford. Ever since you made that decision, you have no right to interfere in my a


    el


    Since she had been given a new identity, from that moment on, she was E Steele.


    E Steele had nothing to do with Ste Sealey of the past.


    “Ste Sealey!”


    Weston yelled her name with a subtle hint of emotion. “Sit down.”


    It was that same cold,manding tone as if the entire world should be at his beck and call.


    Ste gritted her teeth and pushed the door open with force. She mmed the door in his face and


    turned around to leave.
