Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

There was silence.

Then, Stella suddenly laughed.

She laughed maniacally but with tears in her bloodshot eyes. “She’s scared of heights, but I’ll die…”

Weston frowned and turned away without looking at her anymore.

It felt as if a huge rock was weighing down on his chest. He had never felt such heavy emotions before. He said hoarsely, “They just want money. You’ll be fine.” He was sure that he wouldn’t let anything happen to her. 

“What if their intention is to kill me?” Stella’s eyes were empty as she looked at him. 

“Weston… I’m still pregnant. Do you know that the choice you’re making is one that will kill me?”

The man paused before gritting his teeth to say, “No. I’ll definitely save you, just not now.”

Having said that, he repeated, “Trust me, Stella. I won’t let you die.” 

Stella said nothing. She didn’t respond either. Her gaze gradually looked lifeless as she laughed dejectedly. At the edges of the roof, the kidnappers exchanged glances and nodded at each other. One of them pushed Guinevere forward. “She’s all yours!”

“We have tons of methods to make you want to beg for mercy… Why don’t you consider it?”

Stella felt goosebumps and the urge to throw up from disgust. Her fists were tightly clenched and her chest heaved up and down violently, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak for a moment there as she felt desolated. She knew what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of these people…She had never expected these criminals to have any conscience in them.

As her body trembled, her gaze went from initial despair to a hint of savageness. Why… Why must she let others kill her? Why was it that, even until the end, she had to struggle in the hands of others even in death? Why could these sinful people control her fate and do as they pleased with her… Why?

Stella took a deep breath before abruptly bursting out in laughter. “Ha… Haha…” She raised her head to look up into the sky. Her eyes were completely bloodshot now. The kidnapper behind her suddenly felt uneasy. 

“Why are you laughing?”
