Chapter 26
Clarence closed his eyes and interrupted him, “Enough.”
He already guessed about it when Jeffrey approached him to ask for money and say the words just now.
Knowing how to behave in a delicate situation, Nathan shut up.
“Why don’t you tell me earlier?”
Nathan said, “On the next day that you asked me to investigate, you and Mrs. Conrad have divorced. I mentioned it to you that afternoon…you said you guys have divorced and her matter has nothing to do with you.”
Clarence was very furious at that time. He was annoyed when he heard the word ‘Stella’, how the hell would he know what was he going to say.
After a while, Clarence slowly said, “Tell SG Jewelry Magazine that those who perform well in this show will get key support of the Conrad Group. There is no restriction on occupation.”
The matter that happened three years ago was something he owed. Now, he was going to make up for it.
But no matter what, she forged a pregnancy check sheet and came to his house to force him to marry her. This was a matter that could not be changed.
…
Two days after the chaos of giving gifts, there was a commotion in the office of SG Jewelry Magazine once again.
“Oh my God oh my God! Mr. Conrad is really too infatuated. He surprisingly does things up to this extent for the sake of Vivian!”
“This is too awesome. It’s the key support of the Conrad Group, which is equivalent to the chance in which a variety of top resources are placed in front of you to be chosen. Mr. Conrad is totally intending to support Vivian so that she can be in the highest position, his action is so lovey-dovey.”
Someone raised objections, “Isn’t it stated that there is no restriction on the occupation so it isn’t necessarily Vivian. Everyone that has been involved in this show should have the opportunity to become the candidate.”
“Who will believe such a reason? It’s just an excuse used by those capitalists to give people the run- around. During this period, Mr. Conrad has given our magazine a lot of benefits for the sake of Vivian. Anyone with a discerning mind can see it.”
When the news reached the office of the chief editor, Stanford was silent for a long time. He had had contact with Vivian several times and he somewhat did not like that person. He did not know why was Clarence so intrigued and fascinated by her.
The problem was that, who could withstand upon seeing his action of spending like this.
It seemed that in the near future, Vivian was really likely to settle in SG Jewelry Magazine.
After Sherry finished shooting, she also heard about this matter. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. This wretched pair of woman and man was really having no moral compass.
Thinking that the free lunch that could be obtained without efforts was meant for Vivian, she did not tell Stella about the bad news.
…
Ever since Clarence asked Stella to pay back the two million yuan within a month, she had been thinking of ways in the past few days.
In order not to lose her only dignity, Stella agreed with it very quickly.
However, the punch of reality came even faster. Two million yuan was not a small amount for her. She absolutely could not get that much money within such a short time.
SG Jewelry Magazine had signed a full contract with her and there would be six hundred thousand yuan per year. This meant she could not take on other casual work outside. But, it was impossible for her to go and get her salary for a few years in advance as it was not long since she signed the contract.
Stella thought calmly for a long time and finally made a decision.
However, before she could put this into practice, she received a friend request.
Looking at the familiar, simple and cold-toned avatar, Stella still had self-awareness. Clarence had blacklisted her for so long but now, he came to add her back. This was certainly because of the matter that he wanted to let her pay back the money.
Stella was actually a bit annoyed. Since the divorce, she did not want to have any connection with Clarence anymore. She knew that she had to pay back the money but if she still kept the contact information, she always felt that her secret would be found by him at any time.
But if she did not accept it, it seemed like she did not want to pay the money back.
After half an hour, Stella accepted his friend request and directly set that he was only permitted to chat.
She had already prepared to blacklist him again as soon as the money had been paid back.
On the other hand, Clarence was sitting in the dining room of the Conrad family when he saw Stella’s name return to his chat list.
“There isn’t a lot of things in the company recently. If you have time, come back home more often, don’t let me urge you to do so every time.”
Clarence stared at his phone while thinking about what should he sent to remind this insensitive and stubborn woman that it was time for her to come and beg him.
Seeing that Clarence totally did not listen to his words, Dempsey said in a deep voice, “Clarence, I’m talking to you, do you hear me!”
Clarence put the phone upside down on the table. He took the glass of water in front of him and took a sip. He said indifferently, “Yes.”
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Dempsey became even more furious. But, because of Clarence’s power now, he could not say any harsh words so he could only change the subject, “You should think about what I’ve told you before. You’ll soon be 30 years old, you’re no longer young. It’s time to think about the future. It’s just nice that you and Stella have divorced; she doesn’t deserve to give birth to the child of the Conrad family anyway. This time, you should choose a woman with a good and compatible family background…”
“I don’t plan to have children.”
Dempsey froze for a moment and said furiously, “What did you say!”
Clarence’s voice remained calm, “No matter who my spouse is, I don’t plan to have children.”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about! What do you want if you don’t want children!”
“Children aren’t an accessory or a necessity to me. If you want it that much, you can go and have another one yourself.”
After finishing the words, Clarence did not look at him anymore. He got up and left straight away. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Dempsey was gasping. He was on the verge of being pissed off by him.
After Clarence walked out of the door, Joanna, who had not spoken, put down her cutlery and elegantly wiped her mouth. She smiled mockingly, “It seems that your wish isn’t going to happen.”
Since Clarence took over the Conrad Group in the past few years, it became more and more difficult to control him. So, Dempsey had the idea of training the next heir.
But because Dempsey was too afraid of Clarence, he did not dare to let him have a marriage that involved business, fearing that his power would grow and become even more difficult to be controlled.
Therefore, when Stella appeared with the pregnancy check report, this undoubtedly let Dempsey who was holding a wolf by the ears see hope.
Due to this, the Conrad family did not bother to check whether Stella was really pregnant or not. This was not important.
In other words, if she was faking her pregnancy, Dempsey could even help her conceal it until the day that she was really pregnant.
Since they were married, they would have children sooner or later.
But unexpectedly, something like that would happen afterward and she also had not been able to get pregnant again.
After Joanna went upstairs, Dempsey frowned and pondered. Now, he increasingly felt that the matter of taking Clarence back was a wrong choice.
Once the chess piece went out of the player’s control, the whole situation of the chessboard would develop in an unpredictable direction.
On the way back, Nathan asked, “Mr. Conrad, are we still going back to Starry Lake Mansion?”
Clarence closed his eyes and his nose let out a soft ‘um’ sound.
When Nathan saw that he looked a little tired, he tried to feel him out, “Do you need me to ask Mrs. Conrad where she buys the headache medicine that she has been preparing before?”
