William stopped in front of his car and turned to Clarence, “I should be on my way. Thank you for today,
Mr. Conrad.”
When William was about to get into the car, Clarence spoke coldly in a sudden, “Mr. William, what do
you want by approaching Stella?”
William apparently didn’t expect him to ask this question and he was confounded for a second, “I don’t
understand what you mean.”
Clarence shoved one of his hand in his pocket and showed coldness on his face.
William couldn’t help laughing, “I’m perfectly harmless to Ms. Radomil. I am just curious about her and
she is nice to talk to.”
Clarence said coldly, “She is young enough to be your daughter.”
“….” William covered his mouth with one hand and coughed, “Mr. Conrad misunderstood me. It’s not
what you think. But you are right. Ms. Radomil is about the same age as my daughter, but ….”
Clarence asked, “Mr. William has a daughter?”
Hearing Clarence’s question, William’s smile was frozen as he nodded.
At the moment, the driver came to William, “Sir, it’s time to leave.”
William nodded slightly at Clarence, “Good-bye, Mr. Conrad.”
“Have a safe trip.”
When William’s car drove away, Nathan stepped forward, “Mr. Conrad.”
Clarence asked, “Found everything?”
“I asked the shop keepers around here. They said the woman started causing trouble yesterday. She
probably did that for money.”
Clarence glanced sideways at him, “She didn’t target at Stella for no reason. Keep investigating.”
“Yes.”
After a few seconds, Clarence asked again, “Any news from Vincent?”
Nathan answered, “Not yet…There’s nothing wrong with William’s background, but it is strange that we
find no information about his past in City N.”
Clarence sneered as he moved his long legs forward, “It’s not strange at all. He comes prepared.”
William came to City N for the cooperation with the Conrad Group, but it was obviously an excuse
made by him to come back.”
And his relationship with Cameron Thomas must be more complex than what they explained.
Clarence didn’t care what William intended to do as long as he left Stella alone.
Clarence paused and ordered emotionlessly, “Get someone to protect Stella these days. Tell me
immediately no matter who comes to see her. What happened today is not allowed again.”
Nathan nodded, “I’ll arrange it right now.”
Not long after they got into the black Rolls-Royce, Nathan answered a phone and turned around, “Mr.
Conrad, a few people from the Perez family are in the Conrad’s Mansion trying to take Miss Conrad
away.”
Clarence didn’t even open his eyes as he said indifferently, “You don’t have to tell me the trivia. Just
handle it as you should.
In the Conrad’s Mansion.
Annie’s mother stopped the men in front of her, “She is my daughter. She should go with me. However
powerful Clarence is, he can’t stop me from taking my daughter home!”
She held Annie’s wrist trying to leave as she said.
But those men didn’t get out the way.
Annie’s mother said coldly, “We are in a society under the law. You think Clarence could abuse his
power?”
One of the men said, “Mr. Conrad indicated that Miss Conrad know very well what she had done.”
“What she had done is none of your business. Who do you think you are? I must take her away today.
I’ll let you hurt her over my dead body!”
Annie stood beside her and pulled her sleeves, “Mom, let’s forget it ….”
“No!” Annie’s mother sneered, “He is only a bastard. You are afraid of him, but I don’t. Ask him to come
for me if he wants anything!”
In the middle of the stalemate, Joanna Pere wheeled Justin towards them.
Justin commanded, “Let them go.”
The man nodded slightly at him and explained, “Your master, I’m sorry but Mr. Conrad ordered us to
keep them here.”
Justin smiled, “I know what Clarence mean, but Annie is going home. I guarantee that she won’t make
any trouble.”
The man seemed to be hesitating and didn’t respond.
Justin continued, “If it’s difficult for you to decide, I can call Clarence now.”
“Please don’t.”
The man stepped aside to give way to the daughter and mother.
They all knew it well that although Mr. Conrad had a bad relationship with the Conrad’s family, he was
nice to Justin.
Annie’s mother gave a glance at Justin but didn’t say anything. She took Annie out of the house to the
car. When Annie took a deep breath thinking everything was over, a black Rolls-Royce stopped beside
them.
Annie screamed and hid behind her mother.
The door of the car was opened, and Clarence appeared in front of them.
He glanced at Annie who was trembling behind her mother. His eyes were extremely cold.
Annie’s mother held Annie in her arms, “Clarence Conrad, I’m here if you want anything. How dare you
bully a child!”
Hearing her words, Clarence sneered in silence and uttered in icy voice, “Child?”
Annie’s face was full of terror as she tightened her grasp at her mother’s clothes.
Clarence didn’t ask further question but said, “You can take Annie away today, but if I see or know her
go somewhere she shouldn’t go, what she’ll lose is more than a leg.”
Annie’s mother was stunned, “You are threatening me?”
“It’s a reminder.”
“Clarence Conrad, you are doing too much! You are only a bastard. You really think everyone is fearing
you? You know what? In my eyes, you and your bitch mother are both a piece of shit! Like mother, like
son. No wonder you also get yourself a bitch!”
As she finished, everything was quiet except for the wind bringing coldness.
Justin spoke in a serious voice, “Aunt, Annie may not know how to behave herself, but you should
know what to say and what not.”
“What’s wrong with my words? I told the truth. You accepted this bastard despite other’s opinions. See
what’s happening now? The bastard is now taking charge. Justin, if you have had tried harder, you
shouldn’t have been where you are today, observing a bastard before doing anything in your own
house ….”
She was slapped across the face before she could finish.
Joanna slapped her.
Annie’s mother covered one of her cheek with hand and couldn’t believe it that Joanna slapped her.
Annie was shocked and murmured, “Aunt ....”
Joanna looked at both of them coldly, “Get out of here! Never step into this house again!”
