Stella gently asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Sherry heaved a sigh and spoke in an upset tone, “Nothing. It’s just that Daniel came to find me just
now and told me that he will leave.”
Stella subconsciously knitted her brows when she heard the words, “When will he leave?”
“The specific time hasn’t been decided yet. Probably after catching Lyndon.”
“Don’t make a fuss.”
Sherry, ?”
After several noises, Stella continued, “My opinion is, no matter what, you should make the things clear
with him. You can’t let him leave without knowing anything.”
“Never mind. It’s good that he will leave.” Sherry lay down on the sofa and drank a mouthful of beer to
anesthetize herself. “I should go to find a man who’s younger than me. At least I have money.”
“Sherry, I… Clarence!”
Sherry, “…”
Sherry suddenly realized that she had committed a very serious mistake.
She hurriedly said, “We can talk about this after coming to the studio tomorrow. Let’s stop here now.
Bye-bye.”
Sherry quickly hung up the phone, feeling like she had barely survived a great danger.
Stella turned around and took a glance at Clarence. She subconsciously knitted her brows and said,
“You’re so annoying!”
Clarence looked up at her, “You leave me alone during the sex. Can’t I feel annoyed?”
Stella, “…”
Her voice became lower due to guilty, “Sherry seemed so upset. I can’t leave her alone.”
Clarence wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her lips. H said in low, husky voice, “Dear, we
should not waste any time.”
…
When Stella woke up on the next day, she found the alarm had ringed long time ago.
She turned over, feeling aching all over.
Stella suddenly regretted moving back and living with Clarence.
If this happened every day, who could endure it?
After lying on the bed for a while, Stella got up, walked into the bathroom for a hot bath and felt much
comfortable after that.
When she walked out of the bedroom, Clarence just came back after going out to buy breakfast.
He raised his brows, “Awake?”
Stella asked, “Why did you turn off my alarm?”
Clarence put the paper bag on the table, “Didn’t you say you were so sleepy yesterday?”
“But I have to go to the studio.”
“I’ve asked them. You don’t have too many affairs to deal with in the studio.”
Stella twitched her lips. This wretched man was so good at finding reason.
Stella sat in front of the table and ate the breakfast bought by Clarence. The man opposite to her
suddenly said, “Have you made up your mind?”
Stella was bewildered by the question and asked, “What?”
Clarence fixed his unfathomable eyes on her, “Move back to Starry Lake Mansion.”
Mentioning this, Stella cracked a smile and laughed awkwardly, “It takes time to consider it. Moreover,
did you give time to consider it? Let’s talk about this several days later.”
“Give me a specific deadline.”
Stella pondered for a while and asked tentatively, “A week?”
Clarence agreed to it right away, “Okay.”
Stella, “…”
She didn’t expect he would agree to it so quickly.
If she had expected this, she would postpone the deadline for one month and maybe she could
negotiate with him.
Noting her regretful expression, Clarence curled his lips into a smile, “Eat your breakfast. I will send
you to the studio when you finish it.”
“Don’t you go to your company?”
“I will go this afternoon.”
Stella groaned an answer and then lowered her head to eat the breakfast. She didn’t speak again.
…
At noon…
A black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the studio.
Stella unbuckled the seatbelt and said, “I will leave first.”
Clarence replied in a flat tone, “I will come to pick you up tonight.”
“Don’t bother. I can hail a taxi…”
Under Clarence’s calm gaze, Stella felt as if whatever she said wouldn’t work and swallowed the rest
words she wanted to say.
After Stella got out of the car, Clarence withdrew his lines of sights and dialed Maxwell, “She came to
her studio. I will come to pick her up tonight. Pay attention to the time.”
Maxwell received the order, “Okay.”
He paused and then asked, “Mr. Conrad, shall we change a place?”
Clarence replied, “No need.”
“The men of the Conrad family and Joanna have been watching him. If he changes the place
frequently, it will easily cause their suspicion.”
After ending the call, Clarence tossed his phone onto the passenger seat, started the car and left.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a hospital.
Nathan walked over the moment Clarence got out of the car, “Mr. Conrad.”
Clarence walked over in strides, “How’s his condition?”
“He had an operation at six o’clock this morning, but now he’s still in ICU and he’s still in the dangerous
phase.”
Clarence stopped in front of the ICU ward. Looking at the man who was having many intubation tubes
and showing no sign of life, his face became cold.
He asked in a cold voice, “Have you found them?”
“We haven’t found Charles and Phoebe , but we found out the person who maliciously broke Mrs.
Conrad’s car. According to him, the one who instructed him to do so was Phoebe.”
Clarence sneered. He wasn’t surprised.
Several seconds later, he asked, “Which places have you checked?”
“We found everyone who once had relationship with the Steward family as well as all the real estates
under the Steward Group.” Nathan continued, “Mr. Conrad, I feel that Charles and Phoebe must have
escaped at two different directions. We should send two forces to find them.”
Clarence replied, “You should just find Phoebe. Other people will find Charles.”
“Okay.”
Clarence turned around and left after staying in the ICU ward for two minutes. He instructed Nathan,
“Stay here and come back to the company when he wakes up.”
Nathan replied, “Okay.”
…
In the studio…
When Stella arrived, Sherry was sighing again and again with her head lying on the office desk.
Stella walked over and sat opposite to her, “Have you eaten?”
Sherry replied weakly, “Probably have.”
Stella asked, “What do you want to eat? We can go to a restaurant.”
“I want to taste the bitterness of love.”
Stella, “…”
Sherry pulled herself together and cheered up herself. “By the way, I forgot to ask you before. Have
you… Have you moved to live with that wretched… er… Mr. Cornad?”
Stella coughed and gently nodded her head, “The Stewards’ Mansion was burnt. I…”
“I know, and you don’t need to explain it.” Sherry continued, “Looks like I can’t randomly call you at
nights later.”
Stella chuckled, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Right at this moment, someone knocked at the door and a girl’s head emerged from behind the door,
“Sherry, flowers for you.”
Sherry was a bit stunned, “Mine?”
The girl nodded her head, walked into the office, handed the flowers to Sherry and said with jealousy
written all over her face, “Daniel is really so good to you. He often gifts flowers to you. I will feel
satisfied if my boyfriend assembles him 10% in romance.”
Sherry was indeed surprised. After all, they exchanged farewells last night, and there was no ground
for Daniel to continue to act.
Sherry noticed a card beside the flowers. She opened the card, took a glance and instantly wanted to
vomit.
