Chapter 1314
After hearing Angelina’s reply, Stella realized that no matter how much Angelina said she hated Henry Moore, the
truth was that she had most likely developed feelings for the man, especially considering how calm she was even
when told Henry might be using her as a substitute. This clearly indicated that Angelina had made up her mind
about Henry.
And so, Stella dropped the subject and started talking about something else instead.
Not long after that, Henry knocked on the door and told Stella, “Someone’s looking for you.

He glanced at them and saw that they were still chatting happily. It was a sight that left him feeling bitter.
“It’s been over an hour now,” he grumbled. “Aren’t you leaving yet?”
“Why should I?” Angelina scowled. “It’s been so long since I’ve chatted so nicely with someone. If you can’t wait,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou’re free to leave without me.”
Naturally, Henry wasn’t willing to, so after stepping aside for a woman clad in a neat power suit to go into the room,
he waited patiently by the door. The woman glanced at him as she passed him by, wondering why he would stand
at attention at the door like some security guard…
“Good afternoon, Madam.”
Stella froze. She instantly recognized the woman as Tina Hampton.
“Ms. Hampton…” she watched in surprise as Tina took a seat in front of her, pulling out a stack of documents from
her bag.
“Excuse me, Madam, but I need your cooperation with something. These are the details of Mr. Ford’s assets…”
As soon as she spoke, Stella stared incredulously at her and asked, “What’s going on here?”
She had assumed that Tina was here to visit her, but then
again, they were never even that close, to begin with. Tina was her lawyer three years ago, but it was also because
of her that Stella realized she was fighting a losing battle. Due to that reason, she was led to confess to
a crime she did not commit.
Now, three years later, she never thought that she would ever meet her again, much less in this kind of situation.
“Hasn’t Mr. Ford talked to you about this?” Tina asked,
somewhat surprised to see Stella looking all confused.
It had been three years since the last time she took Weston Ford’s case. She had actually decided never to take on
the man’s case ever again after what happened the last time, but he insisted that because Stella knew her, perhaps
she would be more comfortable around her, so Tina decided to come over.
Besides, Weston had also paid her very generously.
The case three years ago had damaged her reputation slightly, but she managed to salvage it over time, so now
that she was meeting Stella again, she decided to muster up her spirits and do her job.
“Mr. Ford told me,” she explained patiently after noticing her look of confusion, “that he is going to turn Ford
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorporation over to you…”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Henry, who was standing at the door, jerked his head towards Tina and
exclaimed, “Has he lost his mind?!”
Even Angelina was shocked. She quietly turned to Stella and stared at her face without blinking.
The tension in the silent room grew palpable.
Stella did not even dare to breathe out. After a long while,
she finally asked in a hoarse voice, “…what did you say?”
“Mr. Ford has given the order to transfer the whole of Ford Corporation’s ownership to you. Most of the properties
in his name are here, but there are many more in my office because the number of properties owned by Ford
Corporation is quite… substantial, so I’ve chosen the key properties for you to browse through. Then we can sign
the papers for the rest later.”
Tina then casually set down the huge stack of documents on the table in front of Stella.
Stella’s whole body stiffened up as she looked at the thick stack of paper in front of her. [1
“Is he out of his mind? When did I ever…”
She then froze, unable to finish her sentence.
