    Chapter 407


    Weston whipped out his own phone and swiped through it, but Guinevere’s post was not visible from


    his ount. He chuckled coolly as a horrible re appeared in his eyes. Beside him, Ben was


    sweating bullets-he had almost never seen such a reaction from Weston before. “Mr. Ford…”


    “Postpone all appointments for the day. We’re paying the film crew a visit.”


    “But…” Ben could not help trying to dissuade Weston.


    “You might upset Miss Cohen…” “Can’t you tell that she’s doing this on purpose?” Weston’s expression


    turned darker. Ben promptly lowered his head. “I mean… You’re going to draw a lot of attention if you


    suddenly show up for E Steele’s sake, and she wouldn’t want that to happen…’ And that was the


    truth.


    Weston closed his eyes, remembering that dignity and reputation mattered more than


    anything else to Ste. The fact that he had forced her to stay with him was no different from taking


    away her wings, and if everyone realized that she was his, he could imagine how embarrassed she


    would be.


    He just could not get it-why would she keep those unnecessary moral codes? What was going on


    between them wasmon in society, and there was so much he could give her, and yet she refused


    everything.


    “I don’t want to see her get hurt again,” Weston growled as if to himself, suddenly opening his eyes


    again. Ben watched his reaction and quietly sighed.


    Although he was Weston’s longest serving assistant and one of his most loyal subordinates, he had no


    idea who Weston was actually more interested in-Guinevere or Ste.


    In the case of the former, aside from being in herpany out of courtesy, Weston appeared to have


    no intention of lingering around her unnecessarily.


    And yet, in the case of thetter, Weston was reluctant to even make her his legitimate partner -even


    on the most elementary level.


    Given what Ben knew about Weston, he was never one who willingly went with his family’s


    arrangements, and yet his marriage to Guinevere was not a simple marriage of convenience between


    the Cohens and the Fords either.


    Naturally, Ben just could not understand why the legendary king ofmerce, known for being


    decisive and inspiring fear among the masses, would be so terrible in rtionships.

    After trying and failing countless times, Ste poised herself again and asked Bradley, “Ready for


    another round?”


    At first, Bradley thought that it was ideal to have Ste make it through the sequence as soon as


    possible, but as he studied her condition, he could not help suggesting, “You should take a break. Don’t


    rush things.” “No, I think I’m getting the hang of it,” Ste replied, wiping sweat off her brow. “Let’s go


    again-I’ll make it this time!”

    Hearing her say that, Bradley naturally nodded. “Don’t push yourself. Just do what you can.”


    “Yeah.” Ste grinned. “I know my limits.”


    Just as she finished, her assistant held out a bottle of water at her. “Please have a drink first.”


    Ste took the bottle and slowly drank up half of it, before returning it to her assistant and said,


    “Thanks.” Nearby, Guinevere was watching them, her initial catharsis having since faded. She had


    wanted to watch as ‘E Steele’ made a fool of herself, only for everyone to offer a helping hand.


    That was something she simply could not understand-was everyone taking pity on her just because


    she appeared delicate?


    ‘What a pretentious woman,’ she thought to herself. In fact, she had never liked E, and now actually


    felt disgust toward her. It was not just her face either-E’s very existence annoyed Guinevere!
