Chapter 717
“You mean you want me to make him tired of me?”
“That would be best,” said Warren, “but I won’t force you, of course. At the very least, you should stop charming him with your tricks.”
Stella burst out laughing.
“You must’ve either overestimated my charms or underestimated Weston!” she exclaimed. “Do you think a man like him would fall for me just through simple schemes?”
“I would never underestimate him as a businessman,” Warren replied calmly, unruffled by Stella’s rebuttal. “In that regard , he truly is unrivaled . But it doesn’t matter how strong or capable he is. In the end, he is still just a hot-blooded man. He may be completely disinterested with some women, but I know his only weakness is women.”
“It seems that you understand him very well indeed,” said Stella. She curtailed any expressions on her face and slowly but very clearly added, “It’s a pity that you completely neglected one point in this matter – I am the one who wanted him to lose interest in me more than anybody else.”
Warren was in the middle of pouring himself another cup of tea. Stella’s words completely stumped him. He stared down at the cup, quickly filling up with tea before slowly putting the teapot down.
“That is indeed unexpected…” he smiled thinly. “Are you telling me that you don’t, in fact, want to be with him at all?”
“Not everyone thinks the world of your grandson,” Stella smiled sardonically. “But he is used to being highly regarded by everyone around him, and he takes it for granted that he should get anything he wants.”
“You can leave him if you don’t like him.”
“You know your grandson more than anyone else, “Stella argued. “You must know exactly what he is like.”
“Interesting,” Warren fell silent. He then smiled and asked, “Is he blackmailing you?”
“I have a brother who’s the only family I have left in this world,” answered Stella with a stony expression.” Weston has been using him to threaten me. But he’s gone abroad now, so I can finally relax a little.”
“I had no idea…” Warren frowned. A look of regret cropped up on his face. “It must be terrible for you, child.”
