Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 4

The Conrad family did not like Stella in the first place and their disgust towards her grew even more when the fake pregnancy issue was exposed. Their attitude towards Stella had been apathetic. No wonder Clarence was so mad this time, it turned out she had made a huge mistake.

Stella waited for another few days after she went back, yet she still did not receive any message from Clarence. Their encounter at the Twilight Club that day enabled her to have sufficient reason to suspect that the reason Clarence delayed their divorce was to completely disgust her, keeping on reminding her he had cheated on her wherever she went. That was to take revenge of what she had done to him back then.

Clarence was patient to delay the matter, yet Stella could not waste her time and energy on that anymore. What she thought beforehand was to make plans after she had gone through all the divorce formalities. She still needed to live her life, and she did not want to sit and wait there anymore.

Sherry stopped eating the chips in her hand when she heard that she wanted to find a job and she became energetic. “Come to our magazine, our magazine coincidentally wants to hire a designer to make our own brand recently.” Stella frowned when she heard that. “Am I…capable? I’ve not created anything for three years.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course you can, honey. Just try, you have nothing to lose.” Stella was persuaded and she nodded. “Okay.”

Sherry was a person of action and she took Stella’s work from three years ago to the chief editor’s office the next day. After finished looking through them, Stanford Leif’s eyes fell onto the signature on the work and asked at length, “Sharon is your friend?”

“Yes, she’s really brilliant, and her design was awe-inspiring. We won’t suffer loss if we hire her.”

Stanford certainly knew how brilliant she was, yet Sharon was like a short-lived flower in the jewelry design industry which vanished after blooming for a moment. Someone said she had been out of ideas after receiving award and could no longer design new things. Others said rich men had laid eyes on her and she had secretly gotten married and had children. Anyway, there were all kinds of rumor.

It was just that to one’s surprise, she had actually come back after three years’ time, when everyone had forgotten about her. Stanford said, “Does she have time tonight? Let’s have dinner together.” Sherry knew Stella had basically secured the offer when he said that, and she instantly nodded. “Of course, I’ll inform her now.”

Stella had quite a nice chat with Sherry’s chief editor when they were having dinner. Although she had kept on claiming she had not picked up the drawing pencil these three years, Stanford still replied he was okay with that. He only wanted her to make a draft of a product according to a specific style within that week. If the boss thought there was not much problem about that, they would officially hire her.

The time was already a bit late when they finished their meal. Stanford said, “It’s not easy to call for cab in this area, you two girls are not safe by yourselves, I’ll send both of you home.”

“Great, I’ll go to the washroom first.” After finished, Sherry looked towards Stella, “Do you want to go?”

“Let’s go.”

Sherry said, “Please wait for us for a while, Mr. Leif, we’ll be right back.” Stanford smiled. “No worries. Take your time.”

After getting out of the washroom, Sherry washed her hands while saying, “Excellent, we’ve finally made it!” Stella did not expect things to turn out that smoothly and she was still slightly worried. “I’m still scared that your boss won’t like my work afterwards. I’ll feel guilty towards you and Mr. Leif.”

Sherry said, “You’ve thought too much, honey. Our boss is a cheerful old man and he’s exceptionally nice. He almost doesn’t intervene in anything and Mr. Leif basically decides for every matter, small or big in the magazine. He only follows the standard operating procedure by letting the boss have a look. Mr. Leif values you, there must be no problem.”

As Sherry just finished her words, there was a series of the clacking sound of high heels on the ground outside the washroom. Vivian showed up before them the next second. As if none of them had expected seeing each other there, Vivian only snorted after they were startled, “What a pathetic follower”

Stella jerked a paper towel out and wiped her hands dry. She spoke casually, “Just say if you want to get beaten, you don’t have to beat the bush.”

“You…” Vivian knew she was no match for Stella since last time and since there were two people against her this time, she would have no hope for victory no matter how. Sherry said, “What, do you need me to call others to come over to see how a mistress should behave?”

Vivian sneered and spoke with an uncanny tone, “Stella, aren’t you being shameless enough, could you possibly not have any clue on what trick you’ve used to get married into the Conrad family? And you’re accusing me as the mistress, you don’t seem to be any better than me. Why, do you really think you could eliminate your deed after you’ve successfully married Clarence?”

Sherry wanted to retort, but Stella snatched her wrist and stared at Vivian with a level look. “Did Clarence tell you that?” Vivian was clearly a woman with boobs and hip but no brain. She had not mentioned that back then twice and seeing her complacent look while kicking her when she was down, the only explanation would be she just knew about it.

“Yeah, he said a woman like you has really disgusted him, and he said the thing he regrets the most in this life was to encounter you in the Twilight Club. You’re like a stinky and sticky doeskin plaster that

makes his whole body stinks the moment he takes it off. He can’t wait to rub every part of his skin which has come into contact with you.”

After finished, Vivian only became scared when she saw Stella’s expressionless face. She took a step backward with alert to avoid her hitting her again. Yet to her surprise, Stella did not say anything and did not intend to hit her. She only tossed the used tissue paper into the dustbin and left. Sherry quickly followed her when she saw that.

“Stella, don’t take that woman’s words to heart, the guy’s a bastard and the woman’s a shameless bitch, they don’t worth you getting mad at them…” Before she finished her words, Sherry saw the man whom she called bastard just now standing not far away at the front and he was chatting blandly with someone. Stella seemed to not notice him and she walked fast without taking a glance.

Vincent James could sense a murderous aura coming from behind and he could not help but turn. He was baffled when he saw the woman who was coming closer and closer. “Isn’t that your wife? Why is she here?” Clarence looked up and his eyebrows unnoticeably wrinkled. Impatience flashed across his dark eyes. She had followed him there, and she said she only wanted to divorce? When had this woman become more and more calculating?

As Clarence wanted to speak coldly when he saw her approaching, Stella did not glance at him and she did not intend to stop walking. She passed by him quickly like a breeze with an expressionless face. Sherry who was following closely behind her on the other hand stopped for a moment beside him. She opened her mouth and looked like she wanted to scold him, but thinking that the timing was not right, she ran away.

Vincent who had witnessed the whole process let out an awkward chuckle to resolve the embarrassment. “Have I mistaken her for someone else?” Clarence disliked his wife, and you could say that he hated her. Everyone who worked in the same industry knew about that.
