Stella said indifferently, “Nothing. I just met a psychopath.”

Hearing her words, Sherry couldn’t help but frown, “What’s wrong with the security here. Why are they

letting this kind of person in? What if something happens…”

Before Sherry could finish her words, she felt that someone step on her foot under the table.

Winnie laughed as if nothing had happened, “You all said that your studio will open tomorrow, right?

Let’s make a promise, I must be your first customer.”

Stella smiled and she nodded, “Wish us to have a good cooperation.”

After finishing the meal, Stella and others left the restaurant. When Winnie was just about to call her

driver, she felt there was a person with a cold aura behind her.

She felt that something was wrong instantly and stiffly turned around, smiling dryly, “Mr. Conrad, you

are still here…”

Clarence looked at her calmly, “You have two choices, either working all year round starting from today,

or…”

“Mr. Conrad, stop saying! I choose the second one!”

Clarence straightened his cuffs and said slowly, “What did you all say just now?”

Winnie was speechless.

She knew that he would be waiting there.

She didn’t scold him but only say the most important point, “Stella opened a studio with Sherry. It will

open tomorrow. Do you want to go to attend the opening ceremony?”

Clarence snorted, “If I were as idle as you, I will just stop doing my business.”

Winnie pouted. She knew that what he meant was that he didn’t want to go to the opening ceremony.

However, she thought that he would still go there tomorrow.

Winnie sighed, “I think it’s not easy for them to start their business, so I was thinking of introducing

some friends to them, but… I’m afraid that I’ll have little time off to thank those friends for their support.

I must treat them to a dinner to pay them a favor.”

Clarence glanced at her coldly, “Your acting skills still haven’t improved in the slightest after so long.

Winnie was speechless.

Clarence averted his gaze from her, “It’s impossible that I will let you have a day off. However, I won’t

mind those words you just scolded me.”

Winnie didn’t know how to reply to him.

He was really a wretched man who was vengeful.

No wonder that Stella didn’t want to be together with him after he pursued her for so long.

In the black Rolls Royce, Clarence pinched his nose and asked indifferently, “Did Stella leave SG

Jewelry Magazine?”

Nathan nodded, “The staff of SG Jewelry Magazine told me that Mrs. Conrad would let go of Modesty’s

matter, so the people are told to stop investigating the matter as well.”

“After all, if it weren’t for Adolph, Mrs. Conrad might…”

When they investigated the matter later, they found out that somebody set up a trap on the road as

well.

So even if Stella had tricked those people who were called by Joanna to send her away and chose to

leave by another road, something would still have happened.

“Never mind,” Clarence paused for a moment before adding, “Tomorrow Stella’s studio opens. Send a

flower basket over.”

Nathan asked uncertainly, “Just… send a flower basket only?”

“What else do you want to send?”

Nathan coughed, “Mr. Conrad, there is only an annual meeting tomorrow morning. You are free in the

afternoon.”

Clarence was speechless.

He took a breath and lowered the car window, “If there’s nothing to do, then let’s go to visit her studio.

Nathan understood his words and responded, “Okay, Mr. Conrad. I’ll arrange it now.”

Mr. Conrad had been staying in Aqock City for over a month this time. After he returned, he had to deal

with the trouble caused by the cancellation of the marriage between him and Phoebe. In the blink of an

eye, it had been two months.

It was time for him to rack his brain again to think of an excuse.

Channing saw Stella and Sherry off downstairs and left. Although he was having winter break now, he

was still working part-time at the cafe school. He felt that it would be more convenient for him to live in

the school.

When they got home, Sherry laid on the sofa, “Finally I can get a good sleep tonight.”

Stella said, “Go to bed early, we have to get up early tomorrow morning.”

Sherry looked at her. Her eyes moved for a moment and she wanted to say something but then she

wanted to stop.

Stella who noticed her unusual sight said amusedly, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing…” Sherry didn’t realize what was going on when she was in the restaurant just now. However,

Winnie who kicked her made her instantly understand who Stella had met, and she hesitated before

asking in a low voice, “Stella, did you meet the wretched man when you were at the restaurant.”

Hearing her words, Stella looked calm, saying faintly, “Yes.”

“Then what did he say to you?”

Stella paused before saying, “Nothing, he was trying to make me scold him.”

“Tsk, tsk. I really don’t know what the wretched man is thinking all day long. He did not cherish you

when you loved him. Now, he loses you and …”

Stella said, “I’m going to take a shower first.”

“Go ahead.”

After taking a shower, when Stella was drying her hair, she couldn’t help but think of the scene in which

she fought with Clarence earlier.

For the past two months, she had been letting herself not think about him or those things that had

happened in the past. She thought that as long as she tried not to think about him, she would slowly

forget the things that had happened in the past.

But when she met Clarence today, she realized that she could not forget or let go of those things.

She was just deluding herself.

However, Clarence was right when he said that the death of the child was not because of him. It was

she who had trusted Joanna and didn’t know that she was an evil woman.

She shouldn’t hate him and vent all her anger on him.

After drying her hair, Stella left the bathroom and went to her study, flipping through the information on

her desk.

It was all the records when she met the car accident.

Although she wasn’t powerful enough to fight the Conrad family now and couldn’t do anything to

Joanna, she believed that one day she would find enough evidence to prove that Joanna was the one

who caused the death of her child.

The next morning, the studio opened officially.

Many people including Winnie, Stanford, and Horace had sent the flower baskets there. Sherry counted

the number of flower baskets one by one. When she saw a few anonymous flower baskets, she was

curious about the identity of the sender.

Stella saw that and asked her, “What’s wrong?”

Sherry said, “Stella, it’s strange. There are six extra anonymous flower baskets…” After thinking about

it, she added, “Is it from Chan?”

“I don’t think so. I told him yesterday that he did not need to send the flower basket here.”

Sherry felt it was strange. There were only a few people who knew that they opened a studio, including

her friend and Stella’s friend. One could notice that the six anonymous flower baskets were sent here

by the same person.

At this time, there were customers coming to their shop. Sherry was too lazy to think about who was

the sender, “Never mind. Just forget it first. Let’s see if anyone comes to claim them later. If not, we’ll

consider it a bargain.”
