Chapter 318: Favored by Others

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

The manager of the horse ranch had cold sweat oozing on his back. “I... I don’t know. This horse was

suddenly startled... We didn’t pay attention to it so it broke free and ran out...”

Clarence stood up and said in a cold tone, “You should investigate why the horse was startled.”

The manager nodded. “I’ll take it for a checkup. Mr. Conrad, would you like to see a doctor?”

“Not necessary.”

“Yes.”

Two voices were heard at the same time.

Clarence turned around and looked over at Stella. “It’s unnecessary.”

Stella insisted. Just now, when Clarence fell on the ground with her in his arms, she heard him bump

into something.

Although the wretched man didn’t admit it, how could he be all right in this case?

The manager looked at Clarence and then at Stella. In the end, he turned to Vincent for help.

Vincent handed the rein of the horse to the manager. “Go back to your work, please. I can accompany

Mr. Conrad to see the doctor.”

“Thank you, Mr. James. After I found something, I’ll reply to you immediately.”

Vincent nodded. “Please go ahead.”

After the manager led the horse to leave, Vincent patted the dirt off his hand. “Mr. Conrad, let’s go. You

should ask the doctor to check you up. If you are injured, someone would worry about you.”

Clarence cast him an indifferent glance. “You want to join the fun, don’t you?”

Vincent choked up.

Clarence pulled Stella’s hand and walked in another direction.

Since Vincent had nothing to do now, he decided to follow the manager to check the horse’s status.

It was a huge club with quite a lot of facilities and programs. Hence, there was a small private clinic in

there as well so when the idle ones from the rich or powerful families got injured, they could be rescued

and helped in time.

On the way to the clinic, Clarence said, “I’m fine, really. We don’t need to go there. It’s a waste of time.”

“No way! It’s just a checkup. It won’t waste much time.” Stella frowned. “Earlier you also wasted some

times in the rock climbing field. Why didn’t it matter?”

Upon hearing it, Clarence curled up his lips and didn’t speak. He led her forward.

When they arrived at the clinic, Stella asked the doctor to give Clarence a detailed examination. The

result showed that except for the bruises when he bumped into the ground, he had no other injuries.

Clarence looked over at Stella and raised his brows slightly. “Do you rest assured now?”

Ignoring him, Stella asked the doctor again, “He fell on the ground fiercely just now. Could you please

check him up again?”

The doctor smiled. “Mrs. Conrad, please don’t worry. I can guarantee that Mr. Conrad hasn’t been

injured seriously. What about this? I can prescribe him some medicine for traumatic injuries. You can

put it on Mr. Conrad’s bruises frequently so he could recover soon.

When Stella was about to say something else, Clarence interrupted her, “All right, Mrs. Conrad. If you

do worry about me a lot, why don’t you check me up yourself?”

Stella was speechless.

Her face turned reddish rapidly.

She wondered what nonsense the wretched man was talking about.

Noticing the faint smile on the doctor’s face, Stella felt so embarrassed. She stammered, “It’s... it’s

alright if you are fine. I’m going to use the bathroom very quick.”

As she spoke, she escaped from here.

After staying in the ladies’ room for ten minutes, Stella finally calmed down and the temperature on her

face dropped to normal.

She exhaled and pulled a piece of tissue to wipe her hands, walking out.

When she arrived at the door of the doctor’s office, she saw Phoebe.

At the same time, the latter saw Stella as well.

Since their conflicts were exposed, Phoebe had already stopped being hypocritical to her. She looked

away coldly and entered the doctor’s office directly.

Stella tossed the tissue into the garbage can, turned around, and walked downstairs.

In the doctor’s office.

Phoebe looked at the man who was putting on his jacket in a daze. “Clarence, why are you here as

well?”

Clarence cast her a glance and answered flatly, “Don’t play asking while knowing the answer in my

presence.”

Phoebe laughed. “Why am I asking while knowing the answer? When I was doing rock climbing just

now, I got injured carelessly. I came over for a checkup. You don’t need to mistake that I’m doing it

deliberately.”

“Then what should I say? What a coincidence! You are injured, too. Are you here for a checkup?”

Phoebe was rendered speechless for a moment.

The doctor coughed. “Ms. Steward, please allow me to give you a checkup.”

Before Phoebe could speak, Clarence strode out of the office.

She turned around and gazed at his receding figure, biting her bottom lip.

...

When Clarence walked out of the clinic, Stella was drinking a glass of soft drink while sitting on the

bench, enjoying the sunshine happily.

He strode over and sat next to her. “Where did you get this?”

Stella answered, “Just now a handsome young man said I’m quite pretty, so he gave it to me for free.”

Clarence was silent.

Reaching out, he grabbed the drink from Stella’s hand, lowered his head, and gulped down half of it.

“Wait. Wait. What are you doing?”

“I’m thirsty.”

Stella curled her mouth. “Did you go to buy some drinks just now?”

“I’ve thrown them somewhere.” Clarence looked at her. “Why did you come to sit here?”

Stella answered, “If I returned to the office, I would interrupt your conversation with your former

fiancee.”

Clarence licked his thin lips and whispered, “Still jealous?”

Stella snorted. “Who’s jealous? I’m just considerate.”

Amusement appeared in Clarence’s black eyes. He raised his hand to rub her hair. “All right, my

considerate Mrs. Conrad, do you still plan to sit here?”

“Don’t rub my hair. Be careful with my hairstyle!”

Stella waved his hand off, took out a small mirror, and tidied herself up.

She purposely made a hair according to an online video after getting up this morning.

The wretched man almost ruined it.

Clarence said, “You don’t need to use the mirror. You are already pretty. Otherwise, why someone gave

you the drink for free but no one cares about me?”

Stella put down the mirror and snorted slightly. “Mr. Conrad, I’m afraid you can never experience being

favored by others all your life.”

After they only walked for a few minutes, they saw an old man with gray hair selling drinks in front of a

cute van.

Clarence raised his eyebrows. “Is he the handsome young man you mentioned?”

Stella didn’t answer.

She just wished him to shut up.

Stella wanted to buy the drink from him, but the old man said that the drinks from the van were

provided by the club, so they were free for everyone.

Clarence walked over and said, “Two glasses, please.”

The old man bowed at them and got them the drinks.

Clarence slightly nodded, bent over, and took the drinks from his hands.

Watching the scene, Stella gradually curled up her lips into a smile.

Although everyone said that Clarence was self-righteous, arrogant, and reckless, he was always with

good manners for the respectful ones.

On the contrary, those people who gave him such a comment were always with hypocritical

benevolence and morality, but behind the scenes, they had exhausted all kinds of dirty means.

The Conrad family had never expected that the illegitimate child that they once trained to balance the

pros and cons would have his own thoughts.

When he became uncontrollable, they hated and feared him.
