Chapter 1128
Without any source of light, the room was dark and damp. The space inside was so cramped that accommodating a
corpse would be difficult, not to mention three adult men.
At first, no one thought Stella would take her own life. Instead, they all thought she would just stay in jail obediently
and wait for Weston to get her out.
By the time they realized what was wrong, Stella had stopped breathing. Her heart stopped for good within just an
hour.
Stella must have been determined to die. She had taken
far more than an adult’s lethal dose of oleander.
The world thought she had killed an innocent child with oleanders, but she chose to end her own life in the same
way. How could this not be a justification?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if Stella died, she was unwilling to be blamed as the murderer for nothing. Rumors soon spread that Stella had
committed suicide because of fear. Some said she killed herself to prove her innocence.
Regardless of the rumors, she was already dead.
The dead could not talk nor speak for themselves. As time passed, the dead would soon be forgotten.
The corpse was still in the detention room. Michael was surprised at Stella’s determination, not expecting her to
commit suicide. Looking at her corpse, he had mixed feelings and couldn’t tell what he felt. He thought he would be
happy, but all he felt was a faint bitterness in his heart.
Ben was still dumbfounded over Stella’s death.
Everything was fine before. Stella was still smiling and talking to him in the morning. However, in the blink of an
eye, they lost both the trial and Stella.
Ben then came to a realization. Perhaps Stella had been determined to die. She had been putting on an act during
all this time.
Ben looked at the man beside him. He tried to say something but could not make a sound.
Weston seemed unaffected on the outside . He stood in front of Stella and caressed her face as usual. He spoke to
her naturally, “How can you sleep so well in such poor conditions…”
He sighed, “I originally intended to let you stay here for a few days before taking you home. I thought you should
learn your lesson, but you were too obedient … I’ll take you home today, okay?”
Ben stood aside and listened as Weston spoke to Stella, as
his expression turned a little grim. At first, Ben thought Weston was unwilling to accept Stella’s death, but he soon
felt a little creepy after listening to what he said.
“Mr. Ford…” Ben didn’t want to believe that Stella was dead, but the deceased could not come back to life.
The forensic pathologist determined the cause of death after examining Stella’s corpse. Her heart had stopped due
to an overdose of oleanders–the poison was too lethal, and although they took her to the hospital and tried to

After a long afternoon, Ben finally mentioned the burial in fear. Weston acted as if he had not heard what Ben said.
He told Ben, “Have the driver bring the car over. I’ll take her home.”
He looked at Ben indifferently. There was barely any emotion on his face. “Call Joan. Tell her to make Stella’s
favorite food for dinner. We’ll be home soon.”
Ben did not say anything and looked a little numb. He glanced at Michael, who stood next to him.
Ben urged, “Mr. Sealey, say something…”
Michael’s mouth was set in a grim line. Weston’s current state spooked him out a little.
“You should wait a moment. Give him a break,” Micheal told Ben.
Diana’s running away from home was already too much
for Michael to handle. So how was Weston going to
handle Stella’s death?
