Chapter 758
“Is it fun to play me?” Stella was exhausted and sounded tired. “You were the one who promised to let me go…”
“I did, and I didn’t force you to come back,” Weston replied calmly.
Stella closed her eyes. She refused to play this word game with him. “Must you push me to the verge and force me
to a dead end?”
“Dead end?” Weston answered with a low chuckle devoid of any warmth. “Why would I? I don’t have the heart to
do that.”
Stella’s heart trembled. “Why? I can’t be intimate with you unless I take the pills… So what’s the point of keeping
me around?”
This time, it was Weston who hung up without warning.

exhausted. She gave it a thought and decided to go to a twenty-four-hour cafe.
She sat there all night and did not dare to fall asleep.
She was in a public area. There was a staff member at the front desk who occasionally glanced at her but said
nothing.
Stella was not the only one in the coffee place. Few other students were studying hard for their exams, while a few
white-collar workers were working overtime on their laptops. However, there were not too many people at this late
hour.
Stella let out a breath and suddenly felt lost. She felt like she was drifting on the sea without any direction or home.
Sella walked out of the coffee shop with her luggage just after dawn.
Ahn City was so big. She believed she would find a way out of this. She was mentally ready for the setbacks but did
not expect it to be so hard to find a place to stay under Weston’s power and influence.
She finally found a shabby hotel in a small alley in the middle of the city. She would not have realized it was a hotel
if it weren’t for the eye-catching sign hanging outside the entrance.
The words on the sign were fading and barely readable. The yellowing sign was dim and not illuminated either.
Somehow, the hotel looked like it was not in operation.
Stella took a deep breath and decided to try her luck. She took her chance and went inside. A fat middle-aged lady
was sleeping on a recliner. When she heard the noise , she did not even look up. “Staying here, right?”
Stella nodded. “How much for a night, please?”
The lady looked up at her. When she saw a pretty little girl like her, she said, “We’re not doing that kind of business
here. Don’t bring a man over. Otherwise, if the police raid here, I won’t be responsible!”
Stella did not understand what the lady meant at first. When she finally did, her face flushed red. “I’m not in that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmkind of business. You’ve misunderstood…”
“Who cares about that?” The lady’s accent was heavy.” Anyway, I’m just informing you in advance. Don’t get
caught looking for customers! Else, you’ll pay the fines!”
Stella stood there awkwardly for a while. She held her suitcase in her hand and was in a dilemma.
The lady became a little impatient and clicked her tongue. “Are you staying or not?”
Stella said, “Let me think about it…” She knew this environment was not great, but she did not expect this. It was
beyond her imagination. She hoped and tried to look for a slightly safer place.
At the same time, a black luxury car stopped at the crossroads across the hotel. It was a low-profile car, but it still
attracted a lot of attention. With its price tag, it did not fit in with the state of the street.
Weston sat in the car and watched Stella emerge from the hotel dispiritedly. His eyes gradually grew dark. Ben, who
was sitting in front, asked Weston, “Mr. Ford, do you want to continue and follow her?”
Weston said nothing and looked out the window.
