    Chapter 1118


    The rainst night was much less intense.


    When Ste woke up the next morning, she saw that the branches of many nts in the backyard had


    snapped off from the strong wind.


    She pushed open the window to bring in the fresh air.


    She stood on the balcony to sober up a bit. Then, she changed her clothes as she usually did every


    morning, walked downstairs to sit on the sofa in the hall, and waited for Ben toe and pick her up.


    Ben arrived right on time. His expression eased a bit when he saw Ste sitting there, all ready and


    waiting.“ Mrs. Ford, the trial is about to begin. Let‘s go.”


    Ste stood up and walked silently to him.


    He studied her face and said to her out of concern that she would feel nervous, “Don‘t worry too much.


    Everything has been taken care of. Miss Cohen has dropped the charges and will not appear as the


    intiff. There will only be Mr. Warren...” While he reminded her of the precautions, she felt rather calm.


    She was in fact much calmer than she ever was in such a situation.


    As he was talking, he noticed the unprecedented calmness on her face. Finding it rather unusual, he


    stopped. “Mrs. Ford, is there anything you don’t understand?”


    “No. Ms. Hampton has told me all about it yesterday.”


    She smiled and said to Ben, “You don’t have to be too nervous. It’s my business. You make it look like


    you’re the defendant.”


    She was still in the mood for jokes, so Ben touched his nose and smiled reservedly.


    Indeed, he looked a little uneasy. Finally, he decided to tell her. “Sorry, Mrs. Ford. I was the one who


    identally told Mr. Ford about you and Justin yesterday…”


    Ste seemed unconcerned and showed no expression on her face. “You are his personal assistant. It’s


    your job to supervise me. Don’t worry about it.”


    Ben was surprised by her answer. He felt odd and was still a little guilty. “I know there is nothing between


    you and Justin, and I was just reporting to him about your day, as usual, I didn’t expect that Mr. Ford’s


    reaction would be so big…”


    When he said this, he felt a little guilty.


    If this had happened in the past, he would never believe that a friendly hug would enrage Weston this


    much—


    When Weston was with Guinevere, he never even cared when Guinevere shot intimate scenes. But after


    he got together with Ste, he turned extremely over possessive.


    Ben saw him do a lot of things that he would never have done before. It wasn’t his first time disying


    such pure and intense possessiveness, though, so he felt a little sorry for her.


    It was obviously a small matter, but it could have caused them to fight.


    Ste smiled and did not say anything. “Let’s get in the car.”


    He pulled open the car door and watched her get in.


    The car wafted steadily across the road. Everything was going well.

    In the car, she suddenly asked, “Where is he?”


    “Mr. Ford has a multinational meeting today, so he


    cannot apany you to the trial,” Ben stiffly made an excuse for Weston.


    He rarely lied, so he was a little nervous.


    Weston should’ve been by her side at a time like this.


    He had made so much preparation for her, so Ben thought he would’ve definitely apanied Ste,


    what more in such a period.


    Besides, the meeting wasn‘t that important and could have been postponed. But to his shock, Weston


    wasn‘t showing up and was simply letting her face it alone.


    He had no idea what went on in Weston‘s mind.


    He obviously treasured Ste and took care of everything, yet he was absent at such a time.


    Was it necessary to be so angry, though?


    Ste propped up her chin and looked out the window, ignoring Ben‘sfort.
