Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 7

“I know you suspect my purpose, I’ve also mentioned that I can write a guaranty letter. You could even ask the lawyer and cameraman to follow us all the time when we divorce to prove that it’s me who propose the divorce, and I’ll not blackmail a single penny from you.” Clarence pursed his lips and did not speak a word.

“Or are you scared that I’ll use the divorce to defame you and the Conrad family in front of the press? You don’t have to worry for that too. I promise, if I, Stella Ramodil, want to get any benefit from our divorce, I’ll be doomed.” Clarence only said after a while, “Do you think I’ll believe you when you say like that?”

Stella looked like a deflated balloon at once. “Then what on earth do you want me to do? Could you possibly want to maintain your identity as a husband while having a mistress outside the house? Clarence Conrad, I’ll rather die than raising other’s kids.”

Clarence glanced at her and sneered. Even though he did not say anything, Stella could still get what he meant. He was only teasing her for using the same trick as Vivian. How would she have the right to accuse others? As Stella still wanted to defend for herself for one last bit, she heard Clarence’s cold voice. “I have to go for a business trip tomorrow, we’ll talk after I come back.”

Stella let out a smile at once. “It’s okay, I’ll wait for you no matter how long. Do notify me once you return.” Seeing her changing her attitude drastically, the contempt in Clarence’s eyes surged. He turned around and went upstairs. What a foolish and cheeky woman.

The one week deadline soon arrived. Stella gave Stanford the design draft and he gave her the reply straight away that night. Her design was approved by the boss and she was asked to sign the contract the next day. Stella finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that reply. She was really quite scared that they would not be satisfied of her design.

SG Jewelry had been promoting the project’s progress in the first place and the first series to be introduced had long been decided. It was just that they needed one designer. Now that they had hired Stella, they certainly hoped the progress could be made as quick as possible. Coincidentally, there was one month left until the magazine’s anniversary celebration. The office planned to take the opportunity of the celebration to organize a press conference and officially declare the introduction of their jewelry brand to the press.

Besides the necklace Stella designed this time, the remaining two jewelries mainly promoted were the bracelet and the ring. After designing the draft and the draft was approved by the magazine office, she had to fix the flaws before the product was made. One month time was actually short, or maybe too short.

In order to not ruin the press conference this time, Stella did not dare to slack off. Besides staying at home drawing every day, she even had to choose the material for the jewelries. She had to make the final product based on her design and after the press conference ended, she would hand it to the agency shop to be further processed and sold.

She was so busy that she had forgotten the divorce she promised Clarence, and she had no idea when had he returned from the business trip. Nevertheless, he had not contacted her ever since.

As Stella just put down her pencil and was going to rest for a while, her phone which was placed on the table vibrated. She turned around and the call was from Jeffrey. She frowned and only picked up the call when her phone rang for the second time.

“Stella, your brother is going to sit for the national college entrance examination next year. The teacher says he needs to go to tuition class. I’m lack of money, please give me.”

“How much is it?”

“Let me count…Tuition fee is kind of expensive. Please give me 200 thousand Yuan first. I’ll save the rest as his tuition fee for next semester.”

Stella replied calmly, “Firstly, it’s this year Channing sits for the exam. Secondly, he’s top in the whole province, and he doesn’t need extra tuition. Thirdly, I’ve never heard that any tuition class needs to charge 100 or 200 thousand Yuan for tuition fee.”

Jeffrey was slightly annoyed when his lies were exposed. “Stop giving me so many excuses, just give me the money.”

“I don’t have any money.”

“If you don’t, ask from your husband! He’s so rich, 200 thousand Yuan should be nothing to him.”

“No one earns money without paying effort, his money is none of my business. Plus, I’ve already divorced him, so I don’t have any reason to ask money from him either.”

“What!” Jeffrey bawled at the other end of the call. “Who permitted you to divorce? Did I? Even if you’re divorced, he should give half of the family property to you, how could you possibly not have any money? Stella Ramodil, you’re getting rebellious, do you not want to support your father anymore? Give me 2 million Yuan this instant, or else I won’t be done with you!” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Stella replied, “No, I don’t get a single penny.” After finished, she straight away hung up the call. Not long after that, Channing called her. “Did Jeffrey call you and ask for money again? No matter what he said, don’t give him. He’s gambled again recently and has owed a few hundred thousand Yuan. He’s now hiding.”

“I know, I didn’t give him.” When Stella had paid off his debt worth one million Yuan, she had said that if he gambled again, his life would no longer be her concern, and she warned him not to look for her. Yet

how would Jeffrey change that easily? He had used different tricks to ask her for money all these years, either lying that he had broken a leg and needed money for surgery, or saying Channing had fought with someone and they wanted to make matter worse by involving the school authority.

He knew even she refused to care for him, she would never not care for her younger brother. Stella and Channing had been tricked by him twice in the beginning, but after that, they were not surprised by his trick anymore and had even gone numb with it. Stella asked him, “Have you figured out which university to apply to?”

“Yeah.”

Stella paused and spoke, “Chan, do you want to go abroad? I still have some money, and there should be no problem sending you abroad, plus you’re able to get scholarships…” She wanted to send Channing away, far away from Jeffrey. She did not want him to be trapped in the bog like her. Channing interrupted her. “No thanks, I’ll stay here. I won’t go anywhere.” Stella secretly sighed and she knew his temper. “I’ll leave you to decide for yourself, tell me if you need any money.”

“Keep the money to yourself, I can earn it if I need it.” He then asked, “Did he treat you good recently?” Having mentioned Clarence, Stella was slightly speechless. She then smiled and spoke, “Yeah, it’s quite good. Chan, I’m going to divorce him.”

Channing only fell silent for two seconds, as if he was not surprised to hear that, he spoke, “That’s not a bad thing though, you can count on me in the future.” Stella smiled. “I’m able-bodied, I can take care of myself. Just focus on your studies okay.”

After hanging up, Stella walked out of the bedroom. She saw Sherry curling up on the couch and she looked lethargic. Her face was slightly pale. She then asked, “What’s wrong, Sherry? Are you unwell?” Sherry shook her head and she sounded weak. “I’m on period, I’ll be okay after resting for a while.”

Stella poured a glass of hot water for her. “You can’t be like this. I’ll buy some ginger and brown sugar soup, and heat pack downstairs for you. Do you have anything more that you would like to eat?” Sherry became energetic once again when she heard that. After placing meal orders passionately, she fell back to the couch. “Stella, you’re the best, that bastard is foolish for not loving you.”
