When Stella came back, Sherry was the happiest person.
After Stella reported her work status and walked out of Stanfordâs office, Sherry immediately pulled Stella to her office, âStella, when did you come back? Why didnât you tell me?
âI came back on the day before yesterday,â said Stella, âSherry, Jeffrey Radomil was dead.â
Stella briefed what had happened to Stella, including the photos that she found in Jeffreyâs suitcase.
After listening to her, Sherry felt quite relaxed, âIâm not surprised at all. Jeffrey Radomil was a jerk. He didnât look like a father at all, you know. No matter how bad a man is, he wouldnât sell out his own daughter. Heâs such a shameless man!â
As she spoke, Sherry asked, âWhat do you plan to do now? Are you going to find your biological father?â
Stella shook her head, âForget it.â
âWhy not? Donât you want to know what happened in the past?â
âNo matter what happened, it has been so many years. I donât think it means anything if Iâve found him.â
Sherry thought for a while and asked tentatively, âStella, you donât want to find him because of Chan, right?â
She knew Stella very much. For Stella, comparing with her biological father who she couldnât recall what he looked like, her brother, with whom they relied on each other since childhood, was much more important.
Stella smiled faintly, âNot really. Youâve misunderstood. Jeffrey Radomil is dead, and finally, my life is back to peace. I just donât want to experience anything unexpected again. Besides, if my biological father was still alive, he should come to find me. Since he hasnât, I guess probably he has disappeared from this world already, or he married another woman and has a new family. If I went to find him, I might cause him trouble and not get what I want.â
Sherry thought about her words and found they indeed made sense. She changed the subject, âBesides this, Iâm more curious about another matter.â
âWhat is it?â
âAre you going to remarry Clarence Conrad?â
Stella was choked up by her question.
Sherry asked seriously, âDonât skip my question. After youâve told me what happened in another town last time, I kept thinking about it. Even if Clarence Conrad would like you, a wretched man like him wouldnât treat you truly. Look at Vivian Sean. Back then, there were so many rumors and a lot of people thought that she was marrying Clarence Conrad. What did it end up to? Nothing! I guess the wretched man just like your appearance, and he hasnât lost his interest in you yet. All driven by his lust.â
Stellaâs mouth corners twitched. After a long while, she said, âI know.â
Even if Sherry didnât remind her, Stella was quite clear. Suddenly Clarence declared that he liked her probably because he had been used to having her by his side quietly. After all, she was always a dutiful good wife.
When she left the position of Mrs. Conrad and began her own life, she didnât do things obediently. On the contrary, he felt quite interested and surprised. A typical wretched man was just like that, wasnât he?
Besides, he also admitted that they had been married for three years and they had sex countless times. If he would fall in love with her truly, it could have happened a long time ago.
Hence, Stella had a clear estimation of herself on this point.
Sherry added, âBy the way, Stella, you are back now. How about I move to your apartment? I plan to sell my apartment. As soon as I go home, I will recall that Liam Keith used to stay there, which disgusts me a lot.â
Stella put on a wry smile, letting out hollow laughter.
Sherry looked at her in confusion.
Stella rubbed her neck awkwardly, âYou can directly move in. Iâm not staying there.â
âWhat? Where are you staying now? Did you rent a new apartment?â
Stella knew that she couldnât hide it from her, so she told Sherry bluntly.
Sherry was speechless.
After a while, she said seriously, âStella, for the sake of our years of friendship, if you truly reconcile with that wretched... Mr. Conrad, please donât tell him that Iâve cursed him, leaving me a way to live!â
...
When Stella and Sherry walked out of Sherryâs office, they happened to meet Modesty, who just received a client for couture jewelry.
Sherry and Modesty couldnât get along at all. When they met each other, they could easily get into fights, so they didnât even try to maintain their relationship as coworkers.
When they brushed past each other, they heard a womanâs clear and indifferent voice, âWait a minute.â
The client looked back over at Stella, âExcuse me, Miss. Are you also a designer of SG Jewelry Magazine? If not mistaken, you must be the designer of the âPuppy Loveâ Series, Ms. Radomil, right?â
Stella nodded at her slightly, âYes. Nice to meet you, Maâam.â
âI never met you when I came to SG Jewelry Magazine several times. I thought youâve resigned.â
Stella answered politely, âWell, I had some personal errands to deal with earlier, so I took a few days off.â
Watching the scene, Modesty hurriedly walked up to them and said, âExcuse me, Miss Steward. We...â
Phoebe smiled and interrupted her, âItâs alright. No hurry. Iâm not quite busy today, anyway.â
As she spoke, she turned to Stella and continued, âMs. Radomil, I like the âPuppy Loveâ Series you designed very much. Recently, I have a friend howâs getting married. Sheâs younger than me. I want to give her a wedding gift. May I ask you to design for her, please?â
Modesty bit her lower lip, âMiss Steward, but...â
âMiss Parker, I wonât change our agreed design. This friend of mine is quite important to me. Besides, I can send her as many gifts as I want, canât I?â
Since Phoebe said so, Modesty couldnât find another excuse. She wasnât reluctantly though. It was quite hard for her to get this important client, and she wasnât willing to share her with Stella so easily.
After finishing her words to Modesty, Phoebe looked over at Stella and asked in a gentle voice, âWould you like to do it, Ms. Radomil?â
Before Stella answered, Sherry chimed in, âOf course. Of course. Miss Steward, you do have good taste. Ms. Radomil is the first contracted jewelry designer in our company. The âPuppy Loveâ Series is always the high demanded design in the market, always short in supply. Youâve made the wisest decision to ask her to design the jewelry for your friend.â
With a smile, Phoebe said, âCertainly. I heard that Ms. Radomil won the first prize in the Young Designersâ Contest three years ago. Iâm sure my friend would like the wedding gift designed by Ms. Radomil very much.â
Stella asked, âMiss Steward, do you have a preferred style?â

Letâs find a place to sit down and talk.â While she spoke, Phoebe seemed to recall Modesty was there, âBy the way, Miss Parker. Please use the previous version of your design. I like it a lot.â
After a while, Modesty nodded stiffly in agreement.
Phoebe was obviously not happy with that version of the design. She deliberately came to the company in person today for updating the design.
However, judging from Phoebeâs behaviors, Modesty didnât think her design was important at all.
In her opinion, Phoebe had chosen Stella already. The reason why Phoebe would still use her design was just to keep her dignity.
Thinking of that, Modesty clenched her fists deeply. Her fingernails sank into the flesh of her palms.
