Chapter 993 She heard Weston from above her head, saying in a low voice. “But...” Stella said quietly. It was as if
she didn‘t want to alert the bystanders. “You are hurt, aren‘t you?”
He said nonchalantly, “It‘s just a minor thing. Don‘t worry about it.” He pressed her back. “Were you hurt?”
She shook her head.
She was completely untouched.
He had protected her so well that not once inch on her skin had been scathed.
She could clearly feel his tense body easing a little when she responded.

they would‘ve clapped for me!”
When he said that, he sounded a bit regretful.“ Unfortunately, I did not destroy Stella‘s face...”
The moment he said that, Ben instantly slashed at his face with a knife.
“Argh!”
A piercing shriek was heard Ben placed the knife against his chin. “Countless accomplices? Then I will cut your face
a million times. We‘ll see who claps and cheers in the end.”

He had all sorts of ways to torture him.
He soon found something in his pocket
“What‘s your relationship with Guinevere?”
When Ben found the evidence , his face turned gloomy, and he questioned him. “Why is your phone full of her

However, after a little of Ben‘s persuasion methods, he immediately howled in pain. “I... I am a fan of Gwen!”
