“It was because… a hemorrhage after giving birth to my brother.”
Cameron frowned slightly, “You have a younger brother?”
Stella nodded her head.
“How old is he?”
“He’s nineteen, but turning twenty this year.”
Cameron held his walking stick and stood there, not knowing what was in his mind.
Right at this moment, Charles approached them, “What are you guys chatting about?”
Cameron came back to his senses, “Nothing, I’m just taking her to walk around the place.”
Charles smiled, “She will be living here from today onwards, so she will have plenty of time to go
wherever she wants. No one will stop her.”
Cameron didn’t say anything. He just turned around and walked towards the direction where he came
from.
Stella was holding him and Charles followed their footsteps.
Cameron said slowly, “Girl, you have to remember that you are now part of the Steward family. You
have all the rights to live in this house. If you need anything, just order the servants to do it for you. If
anyone dares to disobey you, you can go to Charles. If he can’t solve it for you, you can just come to
me. I believe that no one will be bold enough to disobey orders while still taking money from us. This
kind of person will definitely be expelled once they are caught red handed.”
It seemed like Cameron was telling this to Stella, but it was actually addressed to Charles.
It was undoubtedly a warning to him.
Stella said softly, “I see, thank you, Mr. Thomas.”
Behind them, Charles kept a smile on his face and did not say anything at all.
When they arrived at the front of the main house, Cameron stopped and patted Stella’s hand, “Girl,
stay here at ease. I’ll leave first, I’ll see you again in a few days.”
“Let me see you off.”
“No need.” Cameron waved his hand and said to Charles, “Charles, you can take me to the door. I want
to talk to you for a while.”
Charles nodded slightly.
Before Cameron left, he said to Stella, “Don’t treat yourself badly. If you are bullied, come to me. I’ll
speak up for you.”
Stella smiled, “Okay, I will.”
This was the first time in her life to receive care from her elders.
And all of this was because her dead parents.
For an instance, she suddenly became a little curious about what kind of people they would be.
They were able to let a respectable person like Mr. Thomas to make two trips to help her settle down.
He even risked offending Charles when he stood on her side and spoke for her without any hesitations.
Stella slowly came back to her senses and went upstairs after seeing them leave.
She took a shower and went downstairs to go out. On her way out, she coincidently met Phoebe, who
was also going out.
Phoebe carried a limited-edition bag and passed by her without even looking at her, she bent over and
sat into the white Porsche parked in the front of the house.
Soon, the car drove away.
Behind, Stella was walking slowly.
As she walked, she looked at the time, calculating how long it would take to walked from the main
house to the gate every day.
She took it as an exercise to walk such a distance to reach the gate.
On the other hand, Phoebe saw a white Bentley parked by the roadside when she just drove out of the
Steward family’s gate.
She asked the driver to stop the car and glanced at the car behind her, “Whose car is that?”
The driver shook his head. Not long ago, there was no such car parking here. It should have just
arrived not long ago.
This villa area didn’t allow online booking cars to enter. Hence, it mustn’t be a car ordered by Stella.
Phoebe withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, “Let’s wait and see.”
It took almost twelve minutes before Stella walked out from the gate.
When the person in the white Bentley saw Stella, he opened the door and got out from the car. He
bowed slightly and said, “Ms. Radomil.”
Stella paused, “Who are you?”
The man said, “I was sent by Mr. Conrad. This is his gift for you.”
Stella looked at the car behind him. She couldn’t help smiling, “Thank you.”
“Ms. Radomil, get in the car. I’ll take you to the studio.”
Stella was just about to get into the car when she saw Phoebe’s car parked nearby.
Phoebe had left so long before her. It was impossible that she was still here now.
She must have done it on purpose.
Just when she looked at her, Phoebe told the driver to drive away.
Clarence was right. Stella had two evidences in her hands to threaten Phoebe. Hence, Phoebe
wouldn’t dare to act rashly as before. However, it didn’t mean that she wasn’t trying to do something.
Stella had seen her tactics before. Phoebe even did something to Chan. Hence, this absolutely cannot
be taken lightly.
It was almost noon when Stella arrived the studio.
A girl said to her, “Stella, there is a letter for you this morning. I put it on desk for you.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Stella entered the office and closed the door. She put down her bag while picking up the envelope in
front of her.
What was inside the letter was actually an invitation to a designer competition.
This was an international competition. It was held by a very respectable jewelry institution. It had been
held for more than a dozen years.
And the people who participate in this competition were all very famous designers.
Not long ago, she read about this competition would be held in City N.
Just that, she did not expect that the organizer would actually send her an invitation letter.
And the judges of this of this competition were all superb people in the jewelry and fashion world.
The winner of this competition was undoubtedly recognized by these superb judges and this could also
make the winner famous in the international arena.
It was a very rare opportunity.
Stella looked at the date. The opening ceremony of this year’s designer competition was three days
later. On that day, all the designers and judges would be present and the organizer would also
announce the rules of the competition.
It seemed that she would be quite busy these days.
When it was time to leave the workplace, Stella finished her work in advance and prepared to go to the
Conrad Group.
She had just left the office and passed by the pantry when she saw Sherry drinking water inside.
Stella froze, “Sherry, when did you come back?”
Sherry finished her water and took a break before she answered, “I just arrived.”
“Didn’t you say that you’ll be away for a week? How come you’re back so soon? How’s your mum? Are
she feeling better?”
Facing a series of her questions, Sherry said, “My mother just sprained her foot and she refused to stay
in the hospital. She stayed for two days and clamored to go home. She said that since she was home,
she doesn’t need me anymore. Hence, she drove me back.”
With that, Sherry continued, “Well, is the studio busy recently?”
Stella smiled, “Not very busy.”
Sherry knew that even if Stella said ‘not very busy’, it also meant that she was actually quite busy.
Sherry winked and said, “Are you going on a date? Luckily, I’m back. You can go now.”
Stella said, “It not convenient for you to walk around with your luggage. I’ll send you back.”
Sherry didn’t think too much. When she walked to the door, she saw Stella walking towards that white
Bentley. She couldn’t help but stared, “Oh my God, when did you buy this?”
Stella laughed dryly, “I didn’t buy it.”
“Then it must be given by Mr. Conrad,” said Sherry, “Oh yeah! Finally, this man is not so stingy this
time!”
