As soon as Stella walked out of the office of SG Jewelry Magazine, a black car was pulled over in front
of her.
Subconsciously, she took a few steps back, her heart hammering. The bad hunch became stronger in
her heart.
Soon, the door of the car was open. The butler of the Conrad family, Nolan Conrad, got off.
He said, “Good day, Ms. Radomil. Please come back to the Conrads’ Mansion with me.”
Although he sounded quite polite, his tone was cold and determined.
Stella shook her head, “No, I won’t go. I’ve divorced Clarence Conrad. I don’t need to...”
Nolan said, “Ms. Radomil, it’s Mr. Dempsey who sent me here. If you don’t care about yourself, please
think about the baby in your belly. The baby couldn’t be tortured.”
Two bodyguards were standing behind him.
Stella looked pale instantly. She felt as if her blood was solidified, her all fours going icily cold.
She had thought about this day before. But much to her surprise, this came could come so soon.
She wasn’t prepared at all.
Nolan said again, “Please, Ms. Radomil. Mr. Dempsey is waiting for you.”
Stella bit her lower lip tightly, shivering all over her body.
However, she couldn’t do anything.
After they were gone, Modesty walked out of the wall behind. She frowned slightly, wondering who on
earth Stella had married.
On the way to the Conrads’ Mansion, Stella kept lowering her head. She clenched her hands tightly,
out of breath.
Nolan was sitting in the passenger seat. He glanced at her through the rearview mirror, “Ms. Radomil,
you don’t need to be so nervous. Mr. Dempsey just wanted to ensure if Mr. Clarence is the father of the
baby in your belly. If so, you only to feel easy and give birth to the baby. Before that, Mr. Dempsey
would never let anyone harm you.”
Stella felt that her throat was dried out in pain. She didn’t speak and nor could she.
She guessed that Clarence must hate her to the core now.
She closed her eyes, her hands covering her belly. She felt extremely desperate.
Probably, she couldn’t keep the baby eventually.
...
Conrad Group.
Nathan knocked on the door of the CEO’s office, panting, “Mr. Conrad, bad news...”
Clarence looked up at him impatiently, “What trouble has Stella made again?”
“Mrs. Conrad... was taken away by the Conrad family.”
Clarence’s face turned cold. He uttered a few words, each of which was icily cold, “When did it
happen?”
“Ten minutes ago. Our men were nearby, but it was Nolan who went there... Besides, Mrs. Conrad is
pregnant. If we fought against them, we were afraid that Mrs. Conrad would be injured, so...”
Clarence stood up and strode out. He said in a cold tone, “He took Stella away because he wants to
control me with the baby in her belly. Stay in the company and keep an eye on them. If his men take
any move, you can directly fire them and kick them out.”
Nathan answered in a hurry, “Yes, Mr. Conrad.”
Clarence added, “Call Phoebe Steward. Tell her that I agree with her requirements. Ask her to go to the
Conrads’ Mansion now.”
“Yes, Mr. Conrad.”
...
The Conrads’ Mansion.
Dempsey was sitting on the sofa. He looked at Annie unhappily, “It’s such big news. Why did you tell
me?”
Annie looked quite aggrieved, “Uncle Dempsey, I have just heard about it not long ago. Besides, that
woman is a slut. Who knows if Clarence is the father of her baby or not...”
Joanna chimed in gently, “Isn’t it too late to look into this matter? It’s not Annie’s fault anyway. Why are
you venting your anger on her?”
Dempsey inhaled and didn’t speak while holding the walking stick.
If it weren’t that the girl from the Jason family came over today and he hadn’t found that Stella was
pregnant when overhearing the conversation between Rebecca and Annie, Dempsey believed that he
would never know it even if the baby was born.
In silence, Annie stood behind Joanna. She deliberately called Rebecca over and asked her about her
baby. Then she purpose led the topic, Rebecca mentioned Stella, so that Dempsey could overhear it.
Also, Joanna helped.
In the future, no matter how Clarence would question her, it wouldn’t be her business.
Besides, the incident that Stella was drowned last time was also arranged by Rebecca. If Clarence
wanted to get even with someone, he must go to Rebecca.
Shortly after, Stella was taken into the mansion.
She stood there in embarrassment and nervousness, exactly the same as she was taken here for the
first time. After three years, she was taken here again for the same reason.
Dempsey cast her a glance and said in a cold tone, “I only ask you once - is Clarence the father of the
baby in your belly?”
Stella gritted her teeth without speaking. Once she admitted it, there wouldn’t be any way back. What if
Clarence would help her? What if...
Seeing that she kept silent, Dempsey sneered, “It’s alright if you don’t admit it. You’ll give birth in a few
months anyway. After that, we can take the DNA test. Before giving birth, you are not allowed to leave
here. Our Conrad family could afford to keep you here.”
Stella inhaled deeply. She said in a trembling voice, “You can’t do it.”
Right then, not only Dempsey but also Joanna and Annie looked over at her.
Stella added, “I’ve divorced Clarence Conrad. You don’t have any right to restrain my freedom.”
“Don’t you think it’s quite hilarious for you to stand here and say those words to me? If you want to give
birth to the baby smoothly, you’d better behave yourself. Otherwise, you can’t blame me for being
ruthless.”
Right then, Joanna chimed in, “Clarence shouldn’t be on the way here. Why don’t we ask him about his
opinions? If he’s sure that he’s not the father of the baby, it’s meaningless for us to keep her here.”
Annie added fuel into the flames, “I agreed. Nobody knows the father of the bastard in her belly... It
might not be Clarence’s. If we still keep her here, she’ll stain our house.”
Dempsey didn’t speak as if he tacitly approved.
Nobody spoke again in the living room. It quieted down completely.
Stella was standing there as if she was waiting for her sentence.
Shortly after, Justin went downstairs. Since there was such a scene downstairs, he had known it
probably. Operating his wheelchair, he approached Stella, “Stella, take a seat please.”
Annie said, “Justin, don’t mind her. Let her stand. She deserves it!”
Justin shook his head, “Annie, stop making trouble. No matter what, Stella is your cousin’s wife. You
should respect her.”
Annie retorted, “Clarence has divorced her a long ago. She’s just a shameless bitch...”
Joanna said in anger, “Annie Conrad.”
Annie shushed.
Justin repeated to Stella, “Stella, please sit down. Clarence would arrive shortly.”
With a big belly, Stella felt quite uncomfortable after standing for a long time. She whispered to thank
him and sat on the couch next to her.
Justin said to a servant standing aside, “A glass of warm water, please.”
The servant answered and left.
Ten minutes later, Clarence showed up at the gate.
