Chapter 747
Stella was in disbelief. “How could Xavier be willing to kneel here obediently?”
“Because of someone that he cannot disobey, of course,” Weston said plainly.
“Are you referring to Old Mr. Ford?”
Weston pinched her cheeks. “Do you feel better now?”
Stella remained silent as she looked at the man in the hall.
Xavier knelt in the middle of the hall, looking utterly displeased. But, despite his clear reluctance, he didn’t dare to disobey and knelt with his torso stock straight.
Old Mr. Ford sat right opposite him, glancing at him once in a while as he sipped on his tea to check if he was kneeling properly.
Occasionally, he would put his teacup down and pick on Xavier’s posture in a nasty and incisive tone.
Elders like him were excellent at insulting others without the use of profanity.
It must feel pretty good to be able to do so, Stella thought.
She was curious, “How did you manage this? I remember that Old Mr. Ford dotes on Xavier very much.”
Even when he broke off his engagement with Zeta, a major issue that incurred the wrath of the Taylor family and made them the butt of a joke in the industry, Old Mr. Ford couldn’t bear to punish him.
Why did he make him kneel this time?
It was indeed unbelievable.
Weston said, “It isn’t that difficult controlling someone’s heart. As long as you grasp a person’s needs, you’ll be able to figure out what makes him tick and how to make him do things the way you want them to. It’s that easy.”
Stella suddenly found him very frightening. “Since you’re able to control another person’s heart… is there something you really want for yourself?”
“Yes.”
Weston said without any hesitation, “You can guess my innermost desire.”
He looked at Stella with a brazen stare.
Stella avoided his gaze.
She knew, but she didn’t want to give it to him.
