Chapter 1311
Weston leaned closer to her ear and murmured, “But it would be best if you could kiss me, of course.”
“Get out of here!” Stella shoved him away.
“If you want anything else from me, just say the word, and it’s yours.”
Stella looked straight at him and asked, “What if I tell you that I want Ford Corporation in its entirety?”
She simply refused to trust a man’s sweet promises in the heat of the moment, certain that most of them would
never be willing to do anything that would hurt their interests.
After all, men tended to sweet–talk their way into promising the moon, but their actions rarely ever matched their
words.
Weston smirked, then looked at her plainly and asked, ” So it’s that simple, huh?”
“What do you mean?” Stella asked, suddenly getting a bad feeling.
“I agree,” Weston said, springing up to his feet. “So now
it’s your turn to deliver what you promised me—I’ll give you Ford Corporation, and you’ll be with me.”
It completely escaped Stella’s imagination that he’d agree so easily and casually. She was about to say something,

He had just exited the door when he bumped into Lucas Quirk.
Lucas’s face darkened when he saw Weston’s mighty rush. He grabbed his shoulder, pushing him back. “What are
you doing, running around like that? Have you forgotten how seriously injured you are?”
When the rescuers dug Weston out of Snow Mountain, Lucas found him on the brink of death.
How could he act so carelessly after such an incident? Why was he not taking better care of himself to let his body
recover properly? Or did this man actually have a death wish?
But Weston did not even bother to look at him as he pushed him out of his way. “I’ve got something to do.”
“Is that thing more important than your own damn life?!”
Weston raised his chin and gazed in the direction of the
ward.
Lucas instantly understood what was going on.
“Of course,” he sneered. “I almost forgot that your life is lying on the hospital bed in that room. Your own life means
nothing to you now. That woman has completely possessed your heart, body, and soul.”
“I don’t have the time to quarrel with you right now,” Weston sighed. “I must go.”
Lucas had to chuckle and grit his teeth as he spoke while Weston was hurrying away. “Wherever you’re going, just
make sure you don’t end up dead on your way! You can’t blame my medical skills when that happens! You can kill
yourself for all I care, but don’t you tarnish my
reputation as a doctor!”
Yvonne was now behind him. She could not help but glance at Weston who was rushing away, and asked her
husband, “What’s gotten to him? Why is he in such a hurry?”
“Who knows?” Lucas answered, massaging his temples as he was feeling a headache coming on. “In any case,
he
does look like he’s gotten much better. He never used to care about his body, and his condition has only gotten
worse and worse. But now that he’s seen Stella Sealey for
a while, he seems to have found his vitality again. That woman really is his miracle drug.”
“Why do you sound like you’re bitter about it?” asked
Yvonne. “Don’t tell me that you actually harbor feelings for…”
Before she could finish, she suddenly yelped.
Lucas had picked her up in his arms and pinned her against the wall.

he looked straight at her.
“I wasn’t making any wild accusations! You clearly do
care a lot about Weston Ford!”
Lucas raised her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. “Is it because I haven’t been punishing you for a while
now? Do you miss my punishments?”
Yvonne giggled, but they were then interrupted by the sound of Stella coughing in the room, so she quickly lowered
her voice and told Lucas, “Let’s go inside before we make a fool of ourselves in front of Stella…”
Lucas chuckled before he let go of her, then he nibbled her earlobe and told her, “Tonight then. I’ll show you
how wrong your accusation was.”
“You’ve been ridiculously horny lately. Can you stop being so…”
Yvonne glared at him but hesitated to finish her sentence.
The two then pushed the door to the ward and walked in.
Yvonne completely dropped the subject and mentioned nothing about what they had been quarreling about.
“We’re here to see you,” she announced while smiling at Stella
