Chapter 564
Roger’s expressions turned sour when he noticed Riley’s smile.
“What are you smiling at?” he barked.
“Nothing,” replied Riley, looking very innocent. “Was I smiling?”
“You!”
Roger had always been cold around Riley, but she’d never taken it to heart and gotten discouraged. Instead, she merely persisted with a big smile on her face.
Stella laughed as she looked on at the interaction between those two. Then she turned to Roger, and the warmth on her face disappeared. She had become stern and serious.
“I’ve taken care of last night’s problems,” she told him a little coldly. “If you ever step into a place like that again, don’t blame me for beating you up!”
Roger gripped the coffee cup in his hand the second he heard her speak of last night.
“Sis…” he began. “How did you deal with that Rory guy? What did he do to you?”
“Nothing,” she replied. “It’s all been dealt with anyway, so don’t ever go near that bar, and if you ever see that guy again, just avoid him. Understood?”
Stella completely trusted Weston in this regard. She knew
without a doubt that it would take him hardly any effort to deal with that Rory guy, much less the bar owner.
But Roger had no idea that Stella was with Weston Ford right now. Neither did Stella want to enlighten him about it.
Sure enough, he stared suspiciously at her and asked, “How exactly did you deal with that guy, Sis? Don’t tell me you…”
He dreaded the thought that Stella must’ve sacrificed her body in exchange for his safety.
Stella could guess what he was thinking from his look.
“Just what the heck were you thinking?!” she yelled, slapping the back of his head.
“I’m just worried that those guys would hurt you or threaten you, or they might blackmail you in exchange for something…”
