Chapter 1054


    Chapter 1054 Ben froze and was instinctively flustered.


    Roger was...


    However, he knew that he couldn‘t tell Ste about it, so he could only bite the bullet and lie. “I am not


    sure myself, but I heard that he‘s living quite well abroad...”


    He touched his nose subconsciously.


    Ste knew this was a very clear sign of lying.


    She suddenly could not pretend any longer and asked, “ Tell me the truth, Ben. How is Roger now?”


    He avoided her eyes. “You better ask Mr. Ford about this


    She closed her eyes.


    His attitude made her heart freeze. “Tell me honestly. Is Roger in trouble? Why are you being so


    secretive?!”


    “I really don‘t know!” Ben‘s tone sounded a little stiff. “If you really want to know, you can ask Mr. Ford. I


    am really not sure...” She pressed her lips and knew that she would not get a word out of his mouth.


    *Let‘s go back to Stardust Mansion,” she snapped, frustrated


    Ben let out a sigh of relief, thinking he‘d just survived a close shave. “Sure, let‘s go back now.”


    He even forgot to ask Ste what had happened and why she was crying


    Ste did not say a word the whole journey.


    She leaned against the car window and looked out at the recedingndscape.


    The trees on the side of the road were so lush and thick that they blocked her view.


    She was in a trance, as if she was in a dream.


    There could still a lucky break.


    Although Roger had the intention ofmitting suicide, he... there was always a glimmer of hope, she


    thought.


    Perhaps he had not done it yet?


    Maybe something else happened to stop him...


    She couldn‘t help thinking that way. Regardless, no matter how much she convinced herself, she knew in


    her heart that she was simply refusing to face the cruel reality.


    Suddenly, a familiar face caught her eyes.


    She sat up straight , thinking that she might have been mistaken.


    But she clearly saw Riley‘s face just now... Was it an illusion?


    Riley should be studying abroad at Compassvale University. Why would she appear here?


    Ben noticed Ste‘s strangeness and slowed the car.


    “Is there anything wrong, Mrs. Ford?”


    Ste paused for a moment and looked at him. “Can you stop for a while? I need to go to the


    washroom.”


    “But...!


    Ben hesitated and surveyed the surroundings. “This is a public ce. If there are any bad hats


    around...”


    “I am in a bit of a hurry. It‘ll be quick and won‘t hold you up much.”


    Ben quickly checked the remaining agenda.


    They were at least an hour and a half from Stardust Mansion.


    There was no way he would let Ste hold it in for that long.


    Having little choice, he nodded and pulled into a parking


    spot. “We will be waiting outside. Shout for us if anything happens.”


    He wanted to send a bodyguard with her at first, but since it was thedies‘ room, they could only keep


    watch


    outside.


    Ste had just gone inside when she saw Riley exiting the cubicle


    “Weston is watching you too closely. This was the only way to reach you.”
