As soon as the incident happened, Horace went to find the employees of SG Jewelry Magazine and confirmed with them that there were no problems with the jewelry when they delivered them here. Then he directly requested the hotel for the surveillance.
However, the person who set up Stella was fully prepared. The other party knew that there was surveillance in the hotel, so before entering the area covered by the monitor, they disguised themselves as the employees of Jason Group and requested to enter the exhibition hall for the final confirmation. Since they had arrived at the hotel, the employees of SG Jewelry Magazine didnât suspect and let them in.
That was when the other party secretly changed Stellaâs end product.
The other party must have guessed that they had everything in control. However, since they had done something, there would always be a trace.
The surveillance showed that one man passed the jewelry to another man, who wasnât shown on the monitor. However, it was obvious that Stella was set up.
After informing the attendees about what he had seen on the surveillance, Horace added, âBesides, Ms. Radomil is a friend of mine for a long time.
Sheâs not that kind of person in those rumors. For those who slandered Ms. Radomil and spread the rumors, Jason Group will pursue legal responsibility on them.â
The attendees never expected that the incident would turn to be that way.
Nobody expected that an unknown designer from SG Jewelry Magazine would be a friend of the son of the Jason family.
In the crowd, with a livid face, George rushed away in anger.
The farce finally ended.
Horace walked to Stella, âStella, let me drive you home.â
Stella parted her lips. She said, âHorace, you donât have to do that for me.â
Horace said, âIn the past, I didnât protect you well, so Iâve lost you forever. Now, Iâm just doing something that I can.â
Stella didnât know what to speak. Suddenly, she recalled something and looked around, âWhereâs Annie Conrad?â
Theoretically, since Horace was making the clarification for her, Annie shouldnât be so quiet.
âMy men are watching her now. Please donât worry. She wonât make trouble for you again,â said Horace, âLetâs go. Let me walk you out.â
Stella nodded. In such a situation, she couldnât go out alone.
She followed Horace to turned away, completely ignoring the indifferent gaze on her from the corner.
After they were gone, Phoebe said, âI didnât expect that Ms. Radomil knew Horace Jason. I asked her to design a wedding gift for Annie. What a coincidence!â
Clarence cast her a glance expressionlessly.
With a smile, Phoebe met his eyes, âWhatâs wrong?â
âYou are far better at acting than Iâve imagined.â
Phoebe paused a bit and knew that he was referring to what had happened in the lounge. She curled up her lips into a smile and said, âOf course, I need to be professional when acting. If itâs too fake, others would find the truth out.â
Clarence snorted and didnât comment.
Phoebe added, âClarence, I wasnât acting only. What I said was serious. Please consider our marriage.â
Clarence raised his head and gulped down the champagne in the flute of his hand. Then he put the flute aside, âThe show is over. Iâm leaving.â
Looking at his receding figure, Phoebe gradually put away her smile.
...
In a lounge, Annie was making a scene by smashing the door.
âYou assholes! How dare you lock me up here! Believe it or not! Iâll kill you. Let me out. Hurry up!â
She kept yelling such things for twenty minutes. Someone answered outside, âMiss Conrad, Mr. Jason asked us to do so. After he has time, he will come to pick you up. Please wait for a moment.â
âLet me out now! Do you hear me? If my aunt knows that youâve locked me up here, you all will be doomed!â
Right then, Phoebe appeared at the door. She said to the men who were guarding the door and said, âEverything is over. Just let her out.â
The two men exchanged glances with each other and didnât answer.
Phoebe added, âHorace Jason has left. If you donât believe me, you can call him to ask.â
The two men didnât dare to suspect. Hurriedly, they opened the door.
Annie came out. When she was about to blow up, Phoebe stopped her, âThey just listened to Horace Jasonâs order. Whatâs the use if you vent your anger on them?â
As she spoke, she looked back at the two men, âYou can leave now.â
âThanks, Miss Steward.â
âThank you, Miss Steward.â
The two rushed away.
Annie stomped in anger, âWhat about me? You just let them go so easily!â
Phoebe said, âI didnât mean to let go of them easily, but you must know why youâve locked up by Horace in here. You should know your target. Donât waste your time.â
âMy target? What target?â
Phoebe answered indifferently, âI donât know either. Since Horace locked you up here, there must be something that he didnât want you to see.â
Upon hearing it, Annie instantly understood. Deep hatred surged into her brain. She gritted her teeth fiercely, âIt must be because of Stella Radomil again! All because of that bitch! Whenever she showed up, Horace only cared about her. Iâll never let her go!â
...
When Stella and Horace arrived downstairs, Sherry happened to arrive.
âStella, are you...â
Stella hinted at her to hold on for a moment. Then she said to Horace, âYou can stop here now. Thank you for what youâve done for me today.â
Horace pressed his lips, âStella, you never have to mention that to me.â
After finishing his words, he nodded at Sherry and turned away.

Looking at Horaceâs receding figure, Sherry couldnât help being confused. She asked in a soft and excited tone, âWhat happened? Why are you with Horace?â
âSomething happened on the charity banquet...â Since it was quite complicated, Stella couldnât tell her clearly right away, âI can tell you the details later.â
Sherry nodded, âAfter you went upstairs, have you met Clarence Conrad?â
Upon hearing it, Stella was taken aback and answered, âYes, I have.â
âThen, did he...â
Sherry wanted to ask her if she had seen Clarence being with another woman. However, if she didnât see the woman, Sherryâs question might break her heart again.
Stella didnât notice that she wanted to say something but stopped. With a smile, she said, âBy the way, I got gossip to share with you. Clarence Conrad should get married soon.â
Sherry was shocked, âThat soon!â
âProbably. You also know his fiancee.â Stella paused before continuing, âItâs Miss Steward, who asked me to design a necklace for her friend.â
In the photos that Sherry received earlier, she only saw the womanâs back, so Sherry couldnât recognize her. Upon hearing Stellaâs words, she was agape, âNo way! How could this be possible?â
Sherry suddenly was enlightened of something. She asked, âThen, Annie Conrad is the best friend of hers who will get married soon, isnât she?â
