Chapter 748
He could barely accept Zeta speaking up for Ella and gave her the benefit of the doubt that she might have misjudged the kind of person Ella was. That would have been understandable.
What’s more, for all he knew, Zeta might have done it out of spite toward him and deliberately ganged up with that woman against him.
But Old Mr. Ford was an intelligent and sharp man. Why would he bother speaking up for Stella?
Old Mr. Ford furrowed his brows and said sharply, “Who asked you to stand up?”
Xavier knelt back down reluctantly.
“Whatever it is, stay here and reflect upon your mistakes! When you’ve thought things through, call me.”
With that, Old Mr. Ford stood up and left.
Stella instinctively turned to her side. Weston held his arm around her waist and waited outside the hall.
Old Mr. Ford appeared to have expected their arrival as he glanced carelessly at them. “Have you had enough of the excitement?”
Stella felt incredibly awkward and uneasy, as if she had been caught eavesdropping.
Weston, on the other hand, sat calm and composed next to her. He toyed with a lock of her hair leisurely, “Not really. It’s rare to see him humble and obedient.”
Given how much Old Mr. Ford doted on Xavier, everyone in the Ford family gave in to him.
Old Mr. Ford was serious about teaching him a lesson this time round.
He smiled.
It made him look kindly. “I know who you’re most concerned about. There’s nothing wrong for a man to be concerned for his own woman.”
He looked at Stella smilingly, “Isn’t that so, Ella?”
If it weren’t for the consensus they had reached earlier and knowing that Old Mr. Ford would think of a way to send her away eventually, Stella would have thought he was supportive of her and Weston being together.
She nodded with a smile. “Thankyou, Grandpa.”
Her address made Weston happy.
