Prev Chapter Next Chapter

“There’s no reason. I just don’t want to marry you.”

Phoebe was annoyed, “Clarence, do you think marriage is a child’s play. You decide whether you want

to marry me according to your mood. Now everyone knows that we are getting married, and you…”

“You are the one who decides to announce the news.”

“But you also promised to marry me at that time, didn’t you?”

Clarence said, “Phoebe, you should know very well why I promised you at that time.”

Phoebe bit her lower lip tightly before asking, “It’s because of Ms. Radomil, right?”

Clarence said coldly, “Phoebe, the purpose of us getting married is just to give benefits to both of our

families. It has nothing to do with who I am promising it for. In the past month, the share price of the

Steward Group has increased by three percent, so you are not at a loss.”

Listening to his voice which sounded like he did not love her at all, Phoebe felt that he treated their

marriage as a plain business contract. She took a deep breath and said reluctantly, “But now that the

marriage has been announced. You are making me ashamed if you break your promise of marrying

me. Moreover, how are you going to explain to my father?”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Steward, the reason that this wedding is canceled is that I am an illegitimate son who

doesn’t match you.”

Hearing his words, Phoebe’s face turned pale, “Clarence, you…”

“I still have things to do. Ms. Steward, please help yourself.”

With that, Clarence hung up the phone.

Nathan stood at the side and he did not even dare to speak.

Mr. Conrad was so ruthless as he did not only make Phoebe ashamed but also making himself in hot

soup.

In fact, by now, when the Conrad family realized that they could no longer use the child in Stella’s belly

to achieve their goals, they had already shifted their focus to the marriage between Clarence and

Phoebe.

Even though they did not agree to their marriage at first, they felt that it was too tempting as the

Steward family was wealthy and had many estates. Moreover, they had no heir to inherit their fortune.

If Clarence canceled the wedding now, Dempsey would probably be very furious.

Clarence got on the lift and faintly instructed Nathan, “Prepare a statement to send out to the public by

tomorrow.”

Nathan thought for a moment and asked, “Mr. Conrad, how should we write the statement?”

He couldn’t write… Clarence was breaking the promise, right?

Clarence gave him a sideways glance and said, “If you cannot hear my words clearly, go see the

doctor.”

Nathan was speechless.

Clarence averted his gaze and snorted, “Joanna Perez has spent so much time to make me in trouble,

I must get back at her now.”

“What does Mr. Conrad mean?”

“All these years, the only reason she can accept my existence in the Conrad family is that she wants to

protect her reputation and the reputation of her family. Other than that, do you think there is any more

reason?”

Nathan listened to his words while keeping silent and he did not dare to comment anything on it.

Clarence said indifferently, “Didn’t she try to harm Stella because she expected me to be afraid to do

anything to her for fear of her revealing that I am an illegitimate child?”

Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, I will order the subordinates now.”

It was only when he heard this that Nathan understood that Clarence was going to make the Perez

family in trouble.

Admitting his identity of being an illegitimate child was just the first step.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at Anqiao Street.

The approval of the demolition work had been issued in the past two days, so the work would start after

the Chinese New Year. Therefore, many residents had already moved away from the street.

The street which had been bustling previously had become deserted.

Clarence opened the car door and strode into the house.

Dolores heard a noise outside and came out.

Clarence stood in the courtyard, putting his hands inside his trouser pockets. He was looking at the

flower that had just sprouted in the corner of the flower bed.

It looked like the flower was trying to grow with a tenacious vitality.

Dolores sat at the stone table, “Don’t you want to go in and have a look?”

Clarence said, “He’s too ugly. I don’t want to see him.”

Dolores laughed, “You were also quite ugly when you were born.”

Clarence was speechless.

After a while, Dolores sighed softly again, “Are you really not going to tell Stella? She has the right to

know it anyway…”

Clarence averted his gaze from her and said faintly, “It was hard to save the baby after her car

accident, but because she was giving birth prematurely, her body is very poor. The doctor said that she

was still in a dangerous state during these months. She could have an accident at any time. There’s no

need for her to know that.”

Instead of letting her experience the pain of losing the baby again, it would have been better to tell her

the worst outcome from the start.

Dolores was so angry yet she felt funny hearing his words, “So you’re sending him here? Wouldn’t I be

sad?”

“You are different from her.”

“What’s the difference?”

Clarence said, “You already have a perfect son. She doesn’t have anything.”

Dolores was speechless.

After a moment, Clarence said again, “He’s safest with you here. I’ll come to pick him up once I’ve

settled the things there." After a moment of silence, he added in a low voice, “If he is still alive.”

Dolores sighed, “Clarence, don’t say such pessimistic words. I think the little one is in good health. He

can eat and make noise now. He will get better slowly.

“I’m just trying to accept the reality. I will not be disappointed if I don’t expect anything great.”

That evening, Conrad Group issued a statement announcing that the wedding between Clarence and

Phoebe was canceled.

The whole statement was very concise and clear. Although it did not directly point out that Clarence

was an illegitimate son, it was stated that Phoebe was a rich young lady from a distinguished family

and Clarence could not match her.

After the statement was issued, many passers-by rushed to the scene in a hurry.

“Clarence could not match her? Seriously? Conrad Group is more powerful than the Steward Group,

right?”

“Fuck, this statement really makes me curious. Wasn’t there someone who said a while ago that the

president of Conrad Group is an illegitimate son? Is the cancellation of the wedding related to that?”

“I agree with you. However, Mr. Conrad is taking the initiative to admit it now. If that’s the case, he’s too

ruthless.”

“If he isn’t ruthless, how could he become the president of Conrad Group? But I think the life of rich

families is too complicated, many of them are having illegitimate sons and daughters. In order to

protect the reputation of the families, they can only pretend as if nothing has happened.”

When Dempsey saw the statement, his whole body was trembling with anger. He cursed, “Bastard!

Clarence is such a bastard!"

With this statement, Clarence had not only admitted his identity of being an illegitimate son, but he also

made the entire Conrad family and Conrad Group in trouble.

Dempsey was a person who valued the continuation of bloodline and family reputation the most. The

marriage between Clarence and Phoebe had been finalized by Dempsey, but he never thought that

Clarence would ruin the marriage in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the news, Joanna did not look surprised. She only snorted slightly.

She felt that Clarence was really a shameful person.

After taking some time to calm down, Dempsey asked the housekeeper again, “What did the Steward

family say?”

“The Steward Group hasn’t responded yet.”

Dempsey touched the head of his walking stick. He frowned and said in a low voice, “Things have

come to such a head. According to Charles’ characteristic, there’s no way to turn things around.”
