Clarence must have been affected by this matter. However, he managed to reduce the impact to the
minimum last night and even turned the tables overnight. Now Dempsey could not use the matter
related to the Young Designers’ Contest to suppress him again.
However, the ill fame would still be there if they didn’t clarify this matter.
After leaving the law firm, Stella directly went to the Conrad Group.
When she arrived there, Clarence just finished a meeting. The whole building was shrouded in
gloominess and all the staffs were holding their breath.
Failing to find Nathan, Stella directly walked to the CEO’s office. She reached out and gently knocked
at the door.
Clarence was reading documents in front of the office desk. Stella didn’t know whether he had heard
the knocking or nor.
Stella walked into the office lightly, cleared her throat and said in a righteously tone, “Mr. Conrad, would
you like a cup of coffee?”
Clarence replied in a cold voice without even lifting his head, “Don’t you know?”
“Then should I prepare dinner for you?”
Clarence was a bit stunned when he heard the words and slowly lifted his head. When seeing Stella,
the coldness in his black eyes was gradually replaced by warmth, “When did you come?”
“I just arrived here.” Stella sat opposite to him and asked, “So do you plan to drink coffee in place of
meal again?”
Clarence lowered his head, quickly signed his name on the document and replied with a nasal sound.
He then added, “It’s so boring to eat alone.”
Stella couldn’t help but ask, “They why didn’t you recognize my voice when I asked you whether you
would like a cup of coffee and recognized my voice when I asked you about the dinner?”
Clarence replied in a flat tone, “I hired my assistants with high salaries. Generally they won’t ask me
two silly questions in concession.”
Stella, “…”
Damn you, wretched man!
Clarence said, “Wait for several minutes.”
“Okay.”
Then there were only sounds of leafing through documents and the stroking sounds of the pen in the
room.
Stella felt it a bit boring and began to play with the display on the desk.
When she was enjoying it, she suddenly noticed a photo on frame on the desk with her mouth corners.
“…”
Inside the photo frame was the photo they took in the Yue Lao Temple.
That wretched man gave her an ugly photo frame and changed a good-looking one for himself.
Humph!
Ten minutes later, Clarence finally put down the documents and lifted his head, “Let’s go.”
Stella was a bit confused when she heard the words, “Where are we going?”
“Don’t you want to have dinner with me?”
Stella pouted, “I’m not here to have dinner with you.”
Clarence asked her with a nasal sound.
Stella opened her bag and took out the document, “Charles gave this to me. I came to Donald and
asked him to examine it for me, and he told me it had no problem. But as I’m living in the Steward
family now, it’s inconvenient for me to keep this document.”
Clarence curled his lips into a smile, “So you want me to keep it?”
Stella replied with a serious tone, “Nope. I plan to open a safe box in the bank.”
“Is it safer than being kept by me?”
Stella was not in a mood to talk rubbish with him. She put the document on the desk and pushed it
towards Clarence, “Please keep it for me. I still have no idea about how to use it temporarily. Or you
may use it if it’s useful to you.”
Clarence landed his gaze on the document and then looked towards Stella with surging emotions in his
eyes, “Is there such a good thing?”
His gaze was direct and burning and Stella didn’t dare to look into his eyes. She looked askance and
coughed, “After all… after all… You want to fight against the Conrad family and it also has been my
wish. Just regard it as my contribution.”
Clarence chuckled when he heard the words, “Well, since you’ve said these words, I will receive it.”
Clarence put the document into a drawer and locked the drawer. He then raised his brows, “Can we go
out for dinner now?”
Stella suddenly said after a short while of silence, “I want to visit Ms. Anderson.”
Clarence was not surprised by her answer. He picked up his jacket and stood up, “Let’s go.”
At the beginning, Stella thought that Clarence meant to go out for dinner.
Although she told him that she wanted to visit Dolores, she didn’t mean to visit her right away. They
could schedule it later.
She was stunned when the helicopter appeared in front of them.
This…
Meeting her shocking eyes in the air, Clarence asked, “Didn’t you say that you want to visit her?”
“But I meant to visit her when you solve these problems, not…”
“That’s not important. Since the helicopter is here, let’s get into it.”
With a confused expression, Stella was then pulled into the helicopter by Clarence.
After a short while, there came a loud sound from above and the helicopter slowly took off.
Clarence lowered his head to take a glance at his wrist watch and then pulled Stella into his arms, “It
will take several hours. Have a rest now.”
Stella moved her lips trying to say something, yet gave up at the next moment.
Charles and Phoebe didn’t want to see her now, so it was good if she didn’t come back. They wouldn’t
be able to bother her and she didn’t need to care about their moods either.
…
At the same time, when Modesty was at home, she received a phone call from Arthur.
Arthur said, “As routines, don’t let me wait for you.”
Modesty tightened her grip on the phone and asked, “Are you done?”
“Oh, what are you saying? Am I done? Aren’t we partners? Or do you want to show the video to the
police. I’ve copied the video into several CDs. I can send one to you if you want it.”
Modesty directly ended the call. She took a deep breath, changed her clothes and walked out of the
house.
On the way, she tried to contact Adolph for several times, yet none of her calls was connected.
Right at this moment, she suddenly found that someone was following her.
Modesty abruptly turned around, yet didn’t find anything.
She withdrew her lines of sights and continued to walk forwards. But gradually, she head more
footsteps, which meant that several people were following behind her.
Modesty became so nervous. When seeing the convenience store in front of her, she rushed over and
panted at the door.
The shop assistant and the other guests looked towards her with weird expressions.
Modesty finally heaved a sigh of relief when seeing other people. She bought a bottle of water, took a
seat in the convenience store and then called Arthur, “Some people are following me. I can’t…”
“It’s okay. If you can’t come here, I will post the video on the Internet.”
Modesty gritted her teeth resentfully.
After sitting in the store for several minutes, Modesty took out her phone and called a taxi.
The taxi arrived at the convenience store soon.
Modesty walked out of the store restlessly. But when she got into the car, the car door was pulled open
again and got into the car quickly.
Seeing this, the driver asked, “Do you know him?”
Although the man beside her was wearing a peaked cap, Modesty still recognized him with a glance.
She felt happy and replied hurriedly, “Yep, I know him.”
