When Stella went back home, she deliberately stopped by the door of Clarence’s room, checking if he
was home yet.
However, she didn’t knock on his door. She turned around and walked to her bedroom.
When Stella was about to take a shower, she received a call from Sherry.
Sherry asked, “Hey, Stella. Are you home?”
“Just arrived.”
Sherry said in an exciting tone, “I just heard about something. I must tell you. It’s so exciting!”
Then, she told Stella everything in Twilight Club, including Jolie hit on a rich man, found by Liam, who
denied their relationship and cursed Jolie as a shameless woman.
“Thanks to that classmate. Now all people in Liam Keith’s network know what kind of person he is. By
the way, I heard that Liam Keith went to the club for a business negotiable. After the farce, I’m sure the
cooperation is doomed. He will be surely fired from his company!
“They were still acting so arrogantly in our presences in the afternoon. The karma fell on them so
quickly! They indeed deserved it!”
Sherry was overjoyed because Liam and Jolie got their retribution. After that, she suddenly said, “By
the way, Stella, I heard that the wretched... your Mr. Conrad was also at the scene.”
Stella was speechless.
She sincerely corrected Sherry, “He is not mine. We’re not family.”
“Please... You are staying together now. He’s the father of the baby in your belly. What’s so different?”
Sherry said, “Stella, do you think Mr. Conrad may have directed such a farce behind?”
Stella said, “Impossible. He’s been quite busy recently. He almost got home very midnight. How could
he have the energy to do such a thing? Besides, he doesn’t have any reason to do so.”
Upon hearing it, Sherry was quite excited, “Yes, he has the reason - the bitch and the son of bitch were
gossiping about you and your baby. Probably, Mr. Conrad has known it and became furious for you.
Hence, he wants to ruin their reputation and let them be disdained by others. He’s way too awesome!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella was confused.
She wondered if she had mistakenly entered into a soap opera.
Sherry continued, “Hahaha... Oh, I’m so busy now. So many people texted and called me to ask about
Liam Keith and his bitch. Stella, I gotta go. Please thank Mr. Conrad for me.”
Before Stella answered, Sherry hung up the phone directly.
Stella put down her cell phone, took her pajamas, and entered the bathroom.
After the shower, Stella dried her hair while reechoing Sherry’s words in her mind.
Clarence indeed had known what had happened in the afternoon. He called her to scold her. She
believed that if he wanted to do anything, he would probably shush Liam and stop the news from
spreading to the Conrad family.
She didn’t think it would be so necessary for him to do such a thing just to avenge her. The more she
thought, the less possible it was in her opinion.
After drying her hair, Stella decided to heat a cup of milk downstairs.
When she walked downstairs, she saw the floor lamp in the living room was on.
Clarence had come back home somehow. He was sitting on the sofa, leaning against the back of it,
and closing his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
Stella walked over hesitantly. She said in a low voice, “Mr. Conrad?”
Clarence slowly opened his eyes, shooting her an indifferent glance, “What’s up?”
Stella thought for a moment. She asked, “I’m going to heat a glass of milk. Mr. Conrad, would you like a
glass of milk as well?”
“No.”
“Okay.”
Judging from his expression, Stella guessed that he wasn’t in the mood to talk to her. She also didn’t
want to kiss his ass. She turned around and entered the kitchen.
She opened the door of the fridge and looked back at the man who was still sitting on the sofa. Seeing
that he didn’t have any intention to leave, she curled her lips. Then she heated up two glasses of milk.
She knew that the wretched ma Clarence always changed his mind. She’d better heat an extra glass
just in case.
Ten minutes later, Clarence frowned at the glass of milk in front of him, “I’ve told you I don’t want it.”
Stella blinked, “Oh? Really? I heard that you said yes, Mr. Conrad.”
Clarence was choked up.
He looked up at Stella, pressing his thin lips. He took the glass over but said, “I know you must have an
intention to fawn me. Tell me. What happened?”
Stella sat opposite him. She said sincerely, “I want to apologize for what happened earlier today, Mr.
Conrad. I’ve caused you big trouble. I’m sorry for that.”
Clarence snorted slightly, “Good, you know it.”
Stella took a sip of the milk and asked, “Mr. Conrad, did you work overtime in the company tonight?”
“Or what?”
“Nothing. I’m just asking casually.”
Clarence raised his head and gulped down the milk. He put the glass on the desk, stood up, and
headed upstairs.
Stella looked at his receding figure. Suddenly, she said, “Well, Mr. Conrad...”
Clarence turned around and looked at her expressionlessly, “What’s wrong again?”
“Mr. Conrad, you know Liam Keith, right? My friend’s ex-boyfriend, who cheated on her.”
“Do I need to remember him?”
“Of course not... I just heard that his affair with another woman while dating my friends was exposed in
Twilight Club tonight. His reputation was ruined and probably so will be his job.”
Clarence kept the same expression, “Does it have anything to do with me? Do you want to find him a
new job?”
Stella was speechless.
She was so annoyed, wondering why it was so hard to communicate with the wretched man.
Stella stopped beating around the bush. She said directly, “No, I don’t. I heard that you were also in the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmclub tonight earlier, Mr. Conrad. Have you seen...”
Clarence interrupted her coldly, “Nope.”
“Didn’t you in Twilight Club? Or haven’t you seen the farce?”
Clarence might not have expected that she would ask him in this way. Pressing his lips, he asked, “Are
you quite idle now? Mind your own business.”
Stella agreed. She shushed.
After Clarence went upstairs, Stella slowly finished the milk in her glass.
In fact, she didn’t get any answer from Clarence just now, but she could be sure that most probably he
had done such a thing to Liam.
Otherwise, when she tried to ask the wretched man just now, he would mock her for indulging in the
wildest fantasy instead.
However, he only skipped her questions and didn’t answer.
The answer was obvious.
Stella just couldn’t help wondering why on earth he had done so.
If it were for avenging her, Stella wouldn’t believe it at all. For the lunatics like Liam and Jolie who were
like mad dogs, Stella didn’t care about them at all. Clarence was the only one who could always piss
her off.
On the other hand, Clarence was always super busy. He wasted a whole night just for that the two had
cursed her.
Stella wondered why.
She didn’t think she deserved such kindness from Clarence.
Back to her bedroom, Stella patted her face and pulled herself together. Taking out the draft, she
started to draw the complete product draft.
Shortly after, there were a few knocks on the door.
Stella raised her head, exhaled, and stood up to open the door.
Looking at the man at the door, she asked, “Mr. Conrad, what can I do for you?”
Clarence looked at her and said calmly, “For the farce that you mentioned just now, I seem to have
some impression.”
