Stella opened the door. When she was going to go downstairs, she was stopped by a maid waiting at
the door.
The maid said, “Ms. Radomil, there are some distinguished guests downstairs, so you can’t go down
now. I will send your breakfast here later.”
Stella didn’t ask any question when she heard this. She simply nodded her head gently, “Thank you.”
Stella then came back to her bedroom. She sat down in front of the desk and opened her manuscript
book.
When she turned to the manuscript of the necklace she designed for the charity party, she was a bit
stunned.
Maybe that necklace would be like the man in those scratched photos. They were all nowhere to be
found and even though she found them back, the results would remain the same.
Expect for leaving this place, she didn’t have any idea or wish about any other matter at present.
At the downstairs….
Although Dempsey was not satisfied with Clarence and Phoebe’s marriage, he couldn’t refuse the
temptation of such a big company as the Steward Group.
Charles Steward only had one daughter – Phoebe. As long as she married Clarence, the Steward
would be naturally taken control by the Conrad Group.
This company was much better than the Jason Group, which was only powerful on the surface.
But Dempsey hadn’t expected that Charles would still agree with the marriage after last night’s scandal
and went to the Conrad family in person to discuss the details of the wedding.
Naturally, he would not refuse such a good thing.
Moreover, even though Clarence married Phoebe, his child was still under Dempsey’s control.
Although this marriage would bring some troubles to him, it also brought more benefits.
Dempsey said, “Now that we’ve decided on the date of the wedding, we just need to arrange the venue
and the wedding dress and suit. It’s not a difficult thing. We will deal with this. Mr. Steward, you’re in
poor health, and in this way, you will not need to be busy arranging the wedding.”
As if he wanted to chime in with Dempsey, Charles cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Conrad, you’re
right. But Phoebe is my only daughter and this is the main affair of her life. I need to do something by
myself.”
Phoebe sat beside him, “Dad, please rest assured. Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad and Clare are all good to
be. The wedding will not disappoint you.”
Charles said, “This is your wedding. And the most important thing is that you will like it.”
When speaking, Charles looked towards Dempsey with a touch of seriousness on his face, “I know that
Clarence married a woman before. Now that they have divorced, their marriage is also a past. I won’t
say anything more about that. I just hope that he will treat Phoebe well after marrying her and take the
marriage seriously.”
Dempsey nodded his head, “Of course he will.”
After getting an answer from Dempsey, Charles looked towards the man who was sitting opposite him
with coldness written all over his face and hadn’t spoken since they came here, “Clarence, can you do
that?”
Clarence looked up at him. But he didn’t reply.
Seeing this, Phoebe hurriedly wrapped her arms around Charles’, “Dad, please rest assured. Clarence
will definitely do that.”
Right at this moment, Justin got a word in, “Mr. Steward, please be tolerant to Clarence in the future.”
Charles chuckled, “As long as he doesn’t hurt Phoebe, I won’t intervene in his affairs no matter what
he’s doing.”
It was a powerful understatement.
Undoubtedly, it was a kind of warming.
Justin nodded his head with a smile, “Mr. Steward, you’re right.”
Charles stood up, “Since we’ve basically reached an agreement on this matter, I will leave first. As for
the things related to the wedding, just let Clarence and Phoebe decide on them.”
Dempsey also stood up with the support of his walking stick. When he was about to spoke, Charles
continued, “On the way here I heard from someone that Clarence’s ex-wife is also living in this house,
right?”
Dempsey’s expression changed slightly when he heard the words. He didn’t admit it, nor did he deny it.
Charles continued, “I will not intervene in the affairs of the Conrad family. It’s just that Clarence and
Phoebe will get married one month later, so it’s emotionally and logically unreasonable to let his ex-wife
live here anymore. What do you think of it, Mr. Conrad?”
Under such a circumstance, Dempsey couldn’t tell Charles that Stella was pregnant. He could only
swallow his reluctance, “Mr. Steward, you’re right.”
“I hope that she will move out of here as soon as possible. Mr. Conrad, if you feel it hard to find an
appropriate excuse, I can do this in place of you.”
“Mr. Steward, you’re courteous. Due to some irresistible reasons, I had to agree with her to live here
before. Now that Clarence and Phoebe are going to get married, I should rearrange it.”
Charles nodded his head to show his agreement and then left.
Before leaving, Phoebe took a glance at Clarence, only to find that there had always been coldness in
his eyes and that he didn’t spare his glance at her.
She secretly bit her lower lip and followed Charles out of the house.
Looking at their back, Dempsey, who was holding a walking stick, gradually pulled a long face.
Once Stella left the Conrad family, there would be many variable factors and it would not be easy for
him to control Clarence.
After a long while, he looked towards Clarence, “You also think that we should send Stella away?”
Clarence replied in a flat tone, “It was you who took her back. Does it have anything to do with me?”
…
When walking past the garden, Charles stood in front of the car, turned around, and said to Phoebe,
“The Conrad family will send her away in two days.”
Phoebe said, “Thank you, dad.”
“You haven’t told me, whether Clarence is the father of the child in her belly or not.”
“She… She has relationships with many men after divorcing Clarence, so even Clarence is not certain
of it. Only when the child is born can we…”
Charles interrupted her, “If it’s confirmed as Clarence’s child after its birth, what are you going to do
with it?”
Phoebe looked down onto the ground. She didn’t reply.
Charles wanted to say something, yet suddenly burst into coughing.
Phoebe patted his back, “Dad, are you alright?”
“Not a big deal.” Charles waved his hand, “Phoebe, although your marriage with Clarence has been
decided. No matter what, I will not let you suffer any grievance. I will make arrangements for the things
after the Conrad family sends his ex-wife away. Just leave those matters to me.”
“Dad, are you planning to…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her. I just plan to send her away.”
Phoebe curled her lips into an inexplicable smile, “Thank you, dad.”
Charles nodded his head. When he was about to get on the car, he looked up subconsciously,
There seemed to be a familiar figure standing by the window at the distance.
He was stunned and burst into coughing again.
Phoebe asked, “What’s wrong, dad?”
Charles looked over again and found that there was no one by the window.
He said, “Nothing. Maybe I mistook it.”
“Then let’s go.”
When Charles got in the car, Phoebe turned around and looked in the direction that he looked at just
now. It was Stella’s bedroom.
She went to the Conrad Group to find Clarence last night.
Clarence promised her that their wedding would be held one month later and that he would disclose the
news to the media. But the premise was that she should take Stella out of the Conrad family.
She guessed that Clarence would arrange his men to pick up Stella later. Nonetheless…
Was it that easy?
Phoebe pulled herself back to reality and got on the car too.
