When they arrived at the dining hall, a maid walked in and whispered into Cameron’s ear.
Cameron slightly nodded his head, “Ask him to come in.”
He then smiled at Stella and Emmett, “I have another guest. Please wait a minute.”
Several minutes later, a maid led a man into the dining hall.
Stella was a bit surprised when she saw the man, “Mr. William?”
William looked towards her and nodded his head to greet her, “Ms. Radomil.”
Cameron asked, “Do you know each other?”
Stella moved her lips for a reply, but didn’t know what to say.
William’s chuckled and alleviated her awkwardness, “I once met Mr. Radomil before.”
“Oh, what a rare coincidence.”
Then Cameron introduced William and Emmett to each other.
William said, “I’ve heard of Mr. Carter before coming to City N. It’s true that you’re really young yet
outstanding.”
Emmett shook hands with him and greeted, “Mr. William.”
Cameron said with a smile, “Don’t just stand there. Take a seat.”
As they just had sat down, a maid walked into the dining hall hurriedly and whispered to Cameron’s ear
again.
Cameron was astonished, “Why is he here?”
William said, “Maybe it’s my guest.”
Cameron nodded his head and gestured the maid.
William looked towards Stella and said apologetically, “Ms. Radomil, I’m sorry. I don’t know that you’re
also here today.”
Emmett knitted his brows. He didn’t say anything.
Stella was stunned. She had guessed who the guest was although William didn’t tell her his name.
Sometimes the God of destiny likes to make fools of the people.
Stella forced a smile, “It… It doesn’t matter.”
She didn’t know what else she should say.
When Clarence entered the dining hall, he fixed his eyes on Stella for several seconds as he hadn’t
expected to see her here.
Stella felt inexplicably unease. She picked up the glass and hided her awkwardness by drinking water.
After a round of greetings, Clarence sat opposite to Stella. She couldn’t read through his mind from his
cold expression.
Cameron said, “It’s the first time that I had many guests at the same time. Your presence really graces
my house. Now that you know each other, please don’t be courteous. Let’s start the meal.”
William held up his glass, “Sorry for bothering you as I came here without invitation. Please forgive me,
Mr. Thomas.”
“You’re not an outsider. I told you to regard my house as your own home before and you can come
whenever you want.”
Clarence said in a calm tone, “I haven’t expected that Mr. William knows Mr. Thomas.”
William replied with a smile, “It’s my great honor to meet Mr. Thomas in a seminar abroad.”
Cameron nodded his head, “Yep. I felt familiar with William when I met him before and learned that he
was also from City N later.”
William curled his lips into a light smile. He didn’t further explain it.
Clarence continued, “I heard that the members of the Perez family have been pestering Mr. Carter and
they even came to bother Mr. Thomas. Is it solved?”
Cameron’s expression turned gloomy. He knew that Clarence was here for this matter.
Emmett replied, “It has been solved. Please don’t worry about it, Mr. Clarence.”
Clarence sneered meaningfully, “Looks like Mr. Carter has put great effort in it.”
“I just did the things that I should do.”
Cameron coughed, “Now that it has been solved, we should not mention that displeased topic again.
Just regard today’s meal as a family banquet. Let’s talk about the others.”
After Cameron finished the word, Clarence asked, “Now that Mr. Thomas said that this is a family
banquet, Mr. Thomas, can I ask you some private questions?”
Emmett’s eyes met with Clarence’s in the air. He didn’t dodge his gaze, “Mr. Conrad, what do you want
to ask?”
Not just Stella, even William and Cameron felt that there was an invisible fight between the two men.
It seemed like they would flatten the house at the next moment.
Clarence said in a calm voice, “Mr. Carter, you’re not young now. I think you should consider your
marriage.”
“Mr. Conrad, you’re not in a hurry, why should I worry about it?”
Stella almost finished the water in her glass when racking her mind, but she couldn’t find a way to stop
them.
Clarence said in a cold voice, “Mr. Carter, you should consider it. Otherwise, you will cover the other
man’s wife every day.”
“Cough…”
Stella was choked by the last mouthful of water she drank.
Emmett, who sat beside Stella, was the first to react. He raised his head and patted her back, “Stella,
are you alright?”
Stella shook her head. She took the opportunity and said, “I want to go to the toilet…”
Emmett also stood up, “You haven’t been here before. Let me take you there.”
When they walked out of the dining hall, they found Clarence also followed behind them.
Emmett turned around, “Mr. Conrad?”
“I also want to go to the toilet. Mr. Carter, please take me there.”
“…”
Cameron asked after their leaving, “What happened between Clarence and Ms. Radomil?”
William replied, “They divorced not long ago.”
Cameron finally figured out what was happening.
No wonder that they had that conversation in the tearoom before.
After a short while, Cameron said in a deep voice after making sure that they couldn’t hear the
conversation, “Didn’t you say that you will come back after the New Year? Why do you come back in
advance?”
William poured a cup of tea and said slowly, “The Steward family has taken many actions recently. It’s
the most appropriate time.”
Cameron had also heard of the conflicts between the Conrad family and the Steward family.
He asked, “Is this the reason why you bring Clarence here?”
William smiled, “Clarence is still young. Although he’s capable and has many means of doing things,
the Steward has a profound background after all. Moreover, it has accumulated many interpersonal
relationships over the years. It’s impossible for him alone to assail the family.
“Do you want to use Clarence to get rid of…”
Cameron didn’t finish his words. But William knew what he wanted to say.
Under current situation, as Clarence had a conflict with the Steward family, it would probably not cause
any suspicion if he started his plan on Clarence.
Cameron asked in confusion, “But I can’t understand why Clarence’s ex-wife is involved. I heard some
news about her. This girl has a miserable past.”
William added some tea into his glass, “To be honest, even I can’t see through Clarence’s mind. He’s
so young, yet both the Conrad family and the Steward family have scruples towards him. They even
formed an alliance to fight against him.”
Cameron sighed silently, “Clarence will be outstanding no matter where he is. But because of the
mistake of the Conrad family, he has been accused as an illegitimate child. I guess that the Perez
family must have sought troubles for him again and gain ever since he was taken back to the Conrad
family. But maybe it’s these sufferings that fostered his growth and he has made such a great
achievement now.”
After all, he once struggled in the dark days and this helped to form his supernormal schemes and
fortitude.
