After a short while, there came some knockings on the door again.
A maid took breakfast upstairs and said, “Ms. Radomil, Master Conrad requires you not to go
downstairs recently. If you have any needs, you can just tell me. And I will send you the three meals on
time.”
Stella was not surprised at this. She simply nodded her head gently, showing no unnecessary
emotions.
From the thing that happened last night, it seemed like Dempsey was blaming her for all the troubles
and Stella guessed that he didn’t want to see her again.
As for the distinguished guests today…
Stella recalled what she saw when she stood by the window just now and guessed that the man should
be Phoebe’s father.
No wonder they didn’t allow her to go downstairs.
Stella took the breakfast from the maid. When she turned around and intended to come back to her
bedroom, she saw Clarence.
The maid slightly stooped to greet him and left quickly.
Stella’s eyes happened to meet his indifferent and aloof eyes in the air. At that moment, she didn’t
know whether she should greet him politely or pretend that she didn’t see him and directly close the
door.
Luckily, Clarence broke the silence, “Don’t believe in any one of the Conrad family.”
Stella felt confused. She asked after being stunned for a short while, “Mr. Conrad, I don’t know what
you meant.”
“It depends on yourself.” Clarence shifted his gaze and turned around. He suddenly added, “I will not
go back on my words.”
He didn’t say anything else and came back to his bedroom.
Dumbfounded, Stella closed the door.
She took a glance at the breakfast placed in front of her and found she had lost her appetite.
Actually, she also understood what Clarence meant just now. It was just that she wasn’t clear how
many truths did he know. Did he know that Joanna came to her before? Or did he know that Joanna
had arranged an escaping route for her? So she could only play dumb.
She didn’t know whether she should believe in Joanna or not. Nevertheless, without Joanna’s support,
she could by no means escape from the Conrads’ Mansion.
After a short while, she recalled the last sentence Clarence said just now.
He said He wouldn’t go back on his words.
Stella gently put her hands on her belly. Even though he wouldn’t go back on his words, it would not
help change anything. When the child was delivered, it would only have two choices – one was being
taken away by the Conrad family, the other was being sent to a place that Stella couldn’t find it again.
She must make plans for herself and the child in her belly.
…
After staying in the bedroom for a whole day, Stella felt that she asked too much before. Now it was
really like being jailed in a prison.
She felt uncomfortable after lying on the bed for a long time, yet she could only walk around inside the
bedroom.
The child in her belly seemed to sense the unstableness outside and moved violently in her belly,
making her feel very uncomfortable.
At the next night, Sherry messaged the latest news to Stella.
At present, the Conrad Group had clarified the false rumors on the Internet. As for the rumor of the
illegitimate child and those who fabricated the news, the Conrad Group would investigate their legal
liabilities.
In addition, Clarence and Phoebe’s wedding caused a heated discussion on the internet. The marriage
between two rich families, no matter it is the wedding that would be held one month later, or the
tremendous benefits brought by the marriage, had attracted many attentions.
Some online users mentioned Clarence’s mysterious ex-wife, who had never shown up in the public.
But no one brought about the matter related to the designer of SG again/
Sherry said in a low voice, “Stella, are you going to leave the family today?”
Stella gently nodded her head. The date she and Joanna agreed before was today.
At Dempsey’s birthday party…
Because of the marriage between the Conrad family and the Steward family, Dempsey’s birthday party
was livelier than they were in the past. The guests were all playing up to him.
But the lively scene had nothing to do with Stella.
Even though the windows of her bedroom were closed, she could still hear the sounds.
Stella took a glance at the clock and found it was five o’clock in the afternoon. The agreed time was
coming.
The clock ticked away the minutes and her palms gradually sweated.
She was so nervous.
It gradually got dark outside.
When it was eight o’clock in the evening, there suddenly came a knocking on the door.
Clenching her phone, Stella took a deep breath and then walked to the door.
There were two men in black standing at the door. One of the men said, “Ms. Radomil, Master Conrad
asked us to send you away.”
Stella subconsciously took two steps backwards when she heard the words, “Master Conrad?”
Why was it Dempsey?
The security guard nodded his head, “Ms. Radomil, let’s set off.”
Although the two security guards seemed to be polite, their tones of voice were actually strong, leaving
her no room to refuse it.
Stella didn’t know what the situation was currently. She pressed her lips together and controlled the
slight trembling of her body and followed the two security guards…
The security led her to the other route to avoiding bumping into the guests of the birthday party.
The passage to the back door was very quiet.
Stella suddenly stopped.
The two security guards looked towards her, “Ms. Radomil, anything wrong?”
Stella asked, “I have a question. Where are we going?”
“Master Conrad asked us to send Ms. Radomil to a safe place, and you can only leave when the child
is delivered.” The security guard added, “Ms. Radomil Master Conrad asked us to tell you that if you
don’t want to implicate others, you’d better not resist it. If the child is hurt due to your struggle, it will not
benefit anyone.”
Stella’s hands that were placed by the sides were clenched into fists. It was a threat again.
This time, they wanted to send her to a place that no one would know.
The security guard said, “Ms. Radomil, let’s go.”
Stella bit her lower lip. Before she took the next step, the two security guards who were standing by her
sides fell onto the ground one by one.
Astonished, she turned around and then saw Joanna standing not far away with calmness on her face.
Joanna’s men befuddled the two security guards just now.
Even so, Stella didn’t dare to relieve herself; instead, she became more vigilant.
Joanna didn’t explain to her, “There’re some changes. But rest assured, I will send you away as we’ve
agreed.”
Stella said, “Thank you, Mrs. Conrad.”
“You’re welcome. We’re all taking what we need separately.” Joanna walked over and looked at Stella,
“You need to leave your phone here.”
Stella remained motionless, seeming to be in a dilemma.
Joanna continued, “I help you today. When Clarence investigates this later, I’m afraid that he will find
out my relationship with it. Now that the two security guards are here, isn’t it a wise choice to leave your
phone here?”
When speaking, Joanna took a new phone from one of her men and handed it to Stella, “Will you be
assured now?”
Stella turned around and took a glance at the security guards lying on the ground. She then put her
phone beside them.
Joanna turned her back to her, “The driver is waiting for you outside. My men will send you to a safe
place first. I will send you abroad when they shift their attention. My phone number has been saved in
this phone and you can contact me at any time.”
Stella slightly nodded her head, “No matter what, I want to express my gratitude to you, Mrs.
Conrad.”
