On the other hand, after Stella saw the clarification audio sent by the City N newspaper, she called
Daphne and thanked her.
Just after the call ended, Winnie called her.
Winnie said, “Thank you for what you’ve done today.”
Stella smiled and said, “You’re welcome, I didn’t do anything. I just acted as the middle man.”
Winnie really admired her when she thought of this. She could not help but ask, “How did you think of
contacting Chassell‘s ex-wife? You even let her come out and clarify for me. Three years ago, my team
contacted her too, but she showed a bad attitude at that time.”
“In the afternoon, I had someone check on Chassell and found that one of the several projects under
the Steward Group was working with his ex-wife’s company, so I called her. She is now divorced with
Chassell, and she can tell what is more important now.”
“Awesome, so did you contacted the City N newspaper too?”
Stella said, “I knew a reporter from City N newspaper before, I felt that she is quite nice, but she also
has a strong sense of justice. From my point of view, instead of sending more clarification letters, let’s
just invite famous and authoritative media to report this matter. It will be more convincing.”
Winnie smiled, “Thank you so much! I will treat you a meal when I finish recording the show.”
“Sure.”
At the other end of the line, Winnie paused and hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “You didn’t
look for Chassell, right?”
Stella said, “No, when I met him at the exhibition hall today, I knew he didn’t have any good intentions,
so it was just a waste of time to look for him. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s just that Chassell just posted an apology letter.”
“Could it be Clarence who ordered someone to do it?”
“I asked Nathan, he’s not sure… Forget it, it’s not a big deal. I’ll hang up now.”
Stella said, “Okay, bye.”
After hanging up the phone. Stella picked up her phone and she really saw Chassell’s apology letter on
the hot search list.
If Stella hadn’t seen him in the afternoon, she would have felt that this apology letter was filled with
sincerity. He might have a profound realization of his mistakes and wished to change his behaviour in
the future.
…
Stella hung up the phone and was about to take a shower when she heard a movement from outside
the door.
It was Clarence who came back.
She got up and walked to the living room, “I bought ramen today. Do you want to eat? I’ll cook it for
you.”
Clarence took off his suit and threw it into the sofa. He tugged his tie while approaching her.
Seeing this, Stella couldn’t help but back up, her body was soon leaning against the wall, “What…
What are you doing?”
Clarence looked at her with his deep, dark eyes. He spoke in a low voice, “What have you done
today?”
“I went to the jewellery exhibition hall, and… and many more, what are you referring to?”
Clarence lifted her chin gently and spoke slowly, “I heard someone say that Mrs. Conrad is so good in
speaking and eloquent, which made Chassell and Flora dumbfounded by your speech. No wonder they
said that I’m afraid of my wife.”
Stella was speechless.
She coughed and said emotionless, “This is just my normal performance.”
Clarence lowered his head and bit her lips. When she moaned in pain, only then did he let go of her,
“Haven’t I told you to run as far as possible when you encounter such things? Why do you involve
yourself in it instead?”
“There are so many people, they can’t do anything to me.”
“They can’t do anything to you in front of so many people, but you know what they will do in private. It is
better to offend a gentleman than a villain.”
Stella knew that Clarence did not want her to jump into any trap and become a target.
She did not argue and nodded, “Okay, I understand.”
Clarence bent his finger and flicked her forehead, “You always say so but you would not do so. Next
time, you would still do the same.”
Stella was speechless.
He was good at guessing.
It was not that she wanted to care about that matter.
It was just that the situation today, Elaine and Winnie were bullied, how could she possibly turn a blind
eye to it?
Clarence knew what she was thinking, he whispered, “I’m not ordering you to just sit and watch, it was
just that you must be able to ensure your safety before helping others.”
Stella nodded, “I know.”
“... Forget it, just do whatever you want, you have me.”
Stella smiled. Obviously, she liked that a lot. She pushed his shoulders and said, “Okay, go and take a
shower, I’ll cook ramen for you.”
Clarence walked towards the bathroom, “Bring my clothes in for me.”
“Okay, go and shower first.”
Stella turned around, boiled some water, took Clarence’s clothes and placed them outside of the
bathroom door. After that, she went back to the refrigerator to get the ramen.
When she just finished cooking, Clarence came out of the bathroom with his hair still dripping with
water.
Stella said, “By the way, I’ve invited Chan and Winnie to come over for a meal tomorrow, are you
coming back?”
Clarence paused for a moment and spoke, “Chan agreed?”
“Yes.” Stella turned her head around to look at him, “What’s wrong?”
Clarence raised his eyebrows and pulled out a chair to sit down, “Nothing.”
Stella looked at him, “Is there something you’re hiding from me?”
Clarence put up his hands to show his innocence, “It has nothing to do with me. Since Channing will
come tomorrow, you can ask him then.”
Stella pursed her lips, “Take your time to eat, I’m going to bed.”
When she took a step, Clarence held her wrist and spoke with intention, “Actually, you can also pay to
unlock it in advance.”
Stella said, “…No, thank you.”
Clarence raised his eyebrows and pulled out a chair to sit down, “Nothing.”
Stella looked at him, “Is there something you're hiding from me?”
Clarence put up his hands to show his innocence, “It has nothing to do with me. Since Channing will
come tomorrow, you can ask him then.”
Stella pursed her lips, “Take your time to eat, I’m going to bed.”
When she took a step, Clarence held her wrist and spoke with intention, “Actually, you can also pay to
unlock it in advance.”
Stella said, “...No, thank you.”
