Chapter 1227
Stella was still in some shock. Even wild beasts like tigers would never eat their own children, what more Guinevere,
who was willing to go that far just to frame her.
She frowned and looked at the old couple.
“Since you’re so adamant that she’s innocent,” she told them, “then you should help her by finding the evidence to
prove she is. If you find no evidence, then it must really mean that she committed the murder. I don’t understand
why you’re wasting your time trying to distort the truth.”
“No!” Mrs. Cohen insisted as she stepped forward, tearfully looking at Stella. “It can’t be true! You’re a mother too.
Surely you’d understand that no mother would be so crazy as to kill her own child! I’m convinced there must be
some misunderstanding!”
She almost blurted out that it was all because Weston Ford was taking revenge on Guinevere.
Mr. Cohen, himself looking decades older after only three years, hunched over, and his eyes were red and

“My wife and I are both very old,” he said, “and we came
here to beg you… please spare Guinevere’s life…”
“Weston Ford is clearly doing all this for you,” Mrs. Cohen added. “Gwen has suffered enough now, so why can’t you
let go of her?” 1
They never thought that Stella Sealey-the woman that Guinevere hated so much that she was willing to kill her own
son to frame her, the woman that they thought had committed suicide in prison–was now standing before. them,
safe and alive…
But the better this woman’s life was, the more of a mockery it became to Guinevere’s present condition.
“You have everything now. Weston Ford would do anything for you! Please just spare Gwen’s life! I beg of you! Can’t
you show a little mercy on her?”
“A little mercy?” Stella scoffed when she heard the word. “Why didn’t you ask your own daughter that question.
back then? You know what she’s done to me all these years, yet you never stopped her or did anything about it. But
perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised…”
Stella glanced at them and added, “With parents like you, it’s only to be expected that your daughter would turn out
this way. Even after all that she’s done, she remains remorseless and unrepentant.”
“But she’s been punished enough now! She’s been locked up in that sanitarium for three years! What more do you
want?”
“You think that’s enough punishment for what she did?!” Stella snapped, her tone audibly raising by a few notches.
“Putting aside the fact that she killed her own son, she still owes me a life! She used her son to frame me, and if I
hadn’t been lucky, I would’ve died because of her! She’s been only locked up for three years, yet you’re already
begging me to let her go? You think that’s enough punishment? You think that’s justice? Don’t be ridiculous!”
As the Cohens tried to argue with her, Jason could no longer keep quiet and stand aside without interfering. He
walked over to them and said, “Stop wasting your time begging her. Why don’t you go to Warren Ford instead? It’s
been so many years. You know what’s happened between her and your family, so what’s the use of staying here
and begging for her help?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason was Warren Ford’s good friend. He was aware of Warren’s strained relationship with Stella, but for some
reason, he still liked Stella despite all that.
Still, he was stuck in the middle of them both, so he thought it best not to interfere. All those years, he had stood
aside and turned a blind eye to the bleak situation that Stella was trapped in, but he could no longer watch quietly
without helping her today.
“I just can’t bear to see you bullying a young woman like this!” he exclaimed.
The Cohens looked at each other. They paid no attention to anything else Jason said. All they focused on was his
suggestion for them to go to Warren Ford instead.
Perhaps that might work…
After all, Warren Ford had been on their side back then. Seeing how close the Cohen family was with him, perhaps
they might be able to persuade him to help them.
Perhaps they might even be able to persuade him to spare Guinevere’s life.
Jason shook his head as he watched the Cohens leave.
“No wonder the Cohen family fell so quickly from grace, he commented. “They really are brainless idiots…”
