Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Vincent took steps back to protect himself. In a hurry, he said, “Don’t panic, Clarence. I just stated an

objective fact. Just think what you’ve done to her before. If you were her, would you just let it go so

easily?”

“Didn’t I treat her nicely?”

“Did you treat her well?”

Upon hearing Vincent’s question, Clarence withdrew his gaze. He gulped down two glasses of wine

and said in a low voice, “She lied to me first. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done those things to her.”

Vincent said, “Clarence, until now, based on how much you know about Stella, do you still think she

has lied to you in the past? Do you still believed that she has married into the Conrad family with the

excuse of her fake pregnancy?”

Listening to him, Clarence couldn’t help tightening his pinch on the wine glass. He creased his brows a

slight.

“Stella is smart, pretty, and talented. She has a lot of advantages. Even if she hasn’t married you, a lot

of outstanding men would be after her. You like her also because you are attracted when getting along

with her. However, if she were truly that kind of woman who uses every possible means to achieve her

goals such as using the fake pregnancy as an excuse, would she still be a charming woman?”

Clarence’s chin was tightened. The idea that he had ignored always was enlightened by Vincent.

Suddenly, Clarence had an awful thought.

Since they got married, Stella only asked him for money a few times.

Each time, she didn’t ask for much and she also wrote him the IOU notes.

She borrowed the money all because of Jeffrey.

Besides, she didn’t use the position of Mrs. Conrad to gain any benefits.

After divorcing him, even if the rumors said that she was a mistress, she never explained and said that

Clarence was her ex-husband.

Vincent raised his goblet and shook, “Anyway, you should look into the matter that happened three

years ago.”

Clarence stood up and strode away with an annoyed look.

Vincent turned around, “Wait. Wait. Are you done with drinking?”

Out of Twilight Club, Clarence said to Nathan, “Go investigate what happened during my business trip

in London three years ago.”

At that time, he felt quite annoyed as soon as seeing Stella’s face. He stayed in London for two months

with the excuse of being on a business trip. On the evening back, when seeing Stella’s flat belly,

Clarence sneered and mocked her. Without asking her anything, he directly confirmed that her

pregnancy was fake.

Nathan followed him. After a thought, he said, “Mr. Conrad, during that time, Miss Conrad suddenly

went abroad. Shall I also look into this matter as well?”

Clarence paused his pace, frowning deeply, “You meant Annie?”

Nathan nodded, “Miss Conrad went abroad quite suddenly. I heard that she also canceled a very

important party. However, it was all arranged by Mrs. Joanna’s men. I’ll look into the matter in detail

later.”

Clarence withdrew his gaze. He bent over and sat in the black Rolls-Royce on the roadside.

The driver asked, “Mr. Conrad, shall we go back to Starry Lake Mansion?”

After a few seconds, Clarence answered expressionlessly, “No. Go to another place.”

...

When Stella was sorting out things in the lobby, she heard fast and hurried footsteps behind her. Before

she could turn around, her wrist was grabbed. The person dragged her to stride forward without any

stop in a one-go.

The two girls and Sherry in the studio gaped.

The two girls asked in shock, “Well... shall we call the police?”

Sherry returned to her senses and put on a wry smile, “Probably not necessary. Let’s wait and see how

it goes.”

As she spoke, she approached the office inside, aiming to eavesdrop on what was going on.

She wondered what was wrong with Clarence the wretched man again.

In the office, Stella shook several times but shake off Clarence’s grip on her. For a moment, she was

irritated and angry, “What is wrong with you again? Let go of me!”

As she spoke, she turned around and wanted to open the door of the office.

However, when the door was opened with a crack, the door was pressed to close.

Clarence supported on hand on the door and gazed at her with his black eyes, “Stella, I want to ask

you a question. Answer me seriously.”

Stella laughed in anger, “Mr. Conrad, do you look like that you’re going to have a serious conversation

with me?”

“Your attitude to me recently is quite bad. If I didn’t do so, would you be willing to talk to me?”

Stella didn’t answer.

It turned out that wretched man truly had some clear self-estimation.

Stella tentatively struggled and found that she couldn’t be comparable to him in terms of strength. She

said, “Mr. Conrad, go ahead.”

He’d better get out after asking the question.

Seeing that she had given up struggling, Clarence loosened his grip on her a bit. In a low voice, he

asked, “What exactly happened to you three years ago so you had a miscarriage?”

Stella had never expected that he would ask her such a question. She was startled and standing

motionlessly for a long time.

Clarence didn’t urge her. He just waited in silence.

After a while, Stella grinned. She raised her head and looked at him, “Mr. Conrad, haven’t you always

accused me of the fake pregnancy before? Since you’ve confirmed, why are you asking me about it

now?”

Clarence pressed his thin lips slightly, “Tell me first.”

“Mr. Conrad, if you asked me such a question three months ago, I might give you an answer that you

never expect. However, now...” She paused, laughing more ironically, “I don’t want to answer. Because

I don’t think you deserve to know it.”

Clarence’s handsome face was tightened. She didn’t say it was not necessary to answer but he didn’t

deserve to know.

Stella continued in an indifferent tone, “Why? Mr. Conrad, did I say something wrong? For a man like

you who doesn’t respect life and could treat your own child so ruthless, what answer do you expect

from me? What if I answered your question? Would the baby be back to life?”

Clarence asked, “Why didn’t you explain it to me?”

“Explain?” Stella was amused, “Mr. Conrad, didn’t you already confirm what kind of person I am? If I

explained, would you listen? Is it useful? I would have humiliated myself instead.”

In the past three years, she did try to explain. However, he never cared about it.

He even thought that she was playing tricks to deceive him again.

Clarence didn’t deny it. His Adam’s apple kept bobbing. After a long while, he slowly released her, “It

could be my fault.”

‘Could be...’ The words were reechoed in Stella’s mind.

The wretched man was always arrogant and conceited.

Stella said, “No, Mr. Conrad. How could it be your fault? You’ve never made any mistake. You are

always right...”

Clarence didn’t want to continue listening, “Shut up.”

“Okay.”

Stella straightened up the sleeve that was creased by his grip, “Mr. Conrad, have you done asking

questions? If so, I’ll go out.”

When she wanted to turn around, she heard Clarence’s voice again, “Horace Jason has gone to

Switzerland.”
