Seeing that she kept silent, Sherry could roughly guess why she said so. She patted Stella on the
shoulder, “Stella, what are you talking about? If you are tired, we can hire as many designers as we
want, but I don’t want you to resign... Honestly, I don’t think the wretched man wanted to make trouble
to you purposely. He seems to aim for something else.”
Stella frowned, “What does he want?”
Sherry thought for a moment and answered slowly, “What does a man want from a woman? You are
beautiful and you have a nice shape. If I were him, I want you as well.”
Stella choked up.
She said crossly, “Could you please just shut up?”
Conrad Group.
Clarence was sitting on his chair, supporting his head with his right hand. His fingers knocked slightly
on his temple, and he was lost in thought.
After two minutes, he pressed the button for the internal line, “Come over.”
Soon, Nathan showed up in his office, “Mr. Conrad, did you want to see me?”
Clarence looked up at him and asked indifferently, “What’s the relationship between Emmett Carter and
Stella?”’
Nathan asked tentatively, “Mr. Conrad, do you remember Mr. Carter?”
Clarence leaned against the back of his chair with an expressionless look, “Star Ferry Technology is
developing fast and aggressively since it was migrated back in May last year. Emmett is known as the
future of the high-tech industry. Do you think I should ignore him?”
Nathan curled his lips in secretly. It turned out that he said he didn’t know Mr. Carter purposely.
He said, “As I know, Mrs. Conrad and Mr. Carter were there for their classmate reunion.”
Clarence frowned, “Horace Jason is her classmate. Now so is Emmett Carter.”
Nathan corrected him, “Mrs. Conrad and Mr. Jason were not classmates, but they were each other’s
first love.”
Clarence looked over at him slowly, his features full of frost.
Nathan immediately added, “Mrs. Conrad and Mr. Carter should be ordinary classmates, different from
her relationship with Mr. Jason...”
Before he could finish his words, Nathan sensed something wrong with the atmosphere in the office, so
he shushed.
Ignoring him, Clarence said, “Star Ferry Technology was founded abroad. It has developed so rapidly in
a few years. Emmett Carter can’t do it alone. What’s his background?”
Nathan answered, “Both Mr. Carter’s parents were scientific researchers. He doesn’t have any glorious
background. However, all funds of Star Ferry Technology came from abroad. They should have the
investment from companies abroad.”
Clarence quieted down. Suddenly he looked over at Nathan.
The latter stiffed, feeling that cold sweat oozed on his back.
“Mr. Conrad, anything else?”
“Have you chased after a woman before?”
Nathan couldn’t get what he meant, “What? ... Pardon me?”
Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips. Waving his hand, he said, “Forget it. You may leave now.”
Nathan walked out of the office in confusion. After he was standing outside, he finally got what
Clarence asked - Mr. Conrad asked if he had chased after a woman before.
Nathan wondered why Clarence asked him this question. He looked back at the door. Hadn’t he always
been helping Mr. Conrad chase after Mrs. Conrad?
In the office, Clarence picked up his phone and stared at Vincent’s name for a long while. When he was
about to call him, there was a call incoming from another number.
Clarence looked a bit annoyed. He tightened his chin and didn’t answer it until a few seconds later.
On the phone, the doctor said, “Mr. Conrad, just now, something urgent happened, but we’ve resolved
the problem for the time being. There should be no problem now. But we’ll still need to continue the
observation.”
“I got it.” Clarence checked the time, “I’ll go there tonight.”
On the other end, Dolores took over the phone, “Clare, you don’t need to come over. I’ll take care of it.
It’s useless even if you come here.”
Clarence said, “Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, he stood up and walked to the French window, looking at the sky that was
getting dark.
For him, the child was just an affiliate. It didn’t matter if he has a child or not. He would never change
his mind because of an unknown small thing.
However, somehow, he started to wonder what the little thing would look like through Stella’s expectant
eyes.
When the little thing still couldn’t open its eyes but grabbed his finger with its wrinkled little hand, his
heart was softened for some reason.
Suddenly, he got to know why such an ugly and torturing little thing was so important in Stella’s heart.
After a while, he called Nathan over again, “I’m going to Aqock City. Book me the nearest flight.”
Nathan nodded, “Yes, Mr. Conrad.”
...
Stella had thought that Clarence the wretched man wouldn’t let go of her so easily, but much to her
surprised, after making trouble to her for two days, he stopped.
When she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she received rose bouquets at her studio continuously
in the following days.
Sherry said, “It’s the third day already, isn’t it? Who on earth is the person? So mysterious. We even
don’t know the sender’s name.”
A female employee said enviously, “Ms. Radomil, you are so beautiful. You must have a lot of
admirers.”
Sherry couldn’t figure out who had sent them the roses, from Emmett or someone else?
If it were from Emmett, he acted so fast. He had only met Stella once after so many years. They hadn’t
talked much, but if he started to go after Stella by sending her flowers, he would be too frivolous.
If it were from others...
Sherry suddenly had a horrible name in her mind. She kept shaking her head, trying to shake it off from
her brain. If Clarence the wretched man was sending Stella roses to confess his love, it would be too
frightening.
Sherry tried hard to think but failed to figure. She asked Stella, “Stella, who has sent you the bouquet?
Do you have any suspects?”
Stella raised her eyebrows, “How are you sure they are for me? What if they are for you?”
“It’s more impossible. All through these years, I was seeing Liam the son of bitch. Beside him, I don’t
have any male friends.”
Comparing to Sherry, Stella was more relaxed, “Just wait and see. The person will show up for sure.”
“That’s right. He has prepared so much. It’s time for him to make a brilliant appearance.”
After the rose bouquet was delivered in another two days, the person who sent them finally showed up
in the studio.
Looking at the person, Stella looked annoyed, “It’s you.”
Annie crossed her arms in front of her chest, and sarcasm and mockery were written all over her face,
“Or who else? Horace Jason? Or Clarence? Stella Radomil, you are so shameless. Until now, you still
try to figure out how to marry into a rich family. You’ve ruined my engagement to Horace. Are you so
complacent now?”
Stella said indifferently, “Why should I be complacent? I just felt overjoyed for that. Annie Conrad, have
you forgotten what I’ve told you before?”
Annie’s expression changed dramatically, “You’d better not forget what I’ve said to you. I’ll definitely
make you pay for it!”
