When they arrived at the dining hall, a maid walked in and whispered into Cameronâs ear.
Cameron slightly nodded his head, âAsk him to come in.â
He then smiled at Stella and Emmett, âI have another guest. Please wait a minute.â
Several minutes later, a maid led a man into the dining hall.
Stella was a bit surprised when she saw the man, âMr. William?â
William looked towards her and nodded his head to greet her, âMs. Radomil.â
Cameron asked, âDo you know each other?â
Stella moved her lips for a reply, but didnât know what to say.
Williamâs chuckled and alleviated her awkwardness, âI once met Mr. Radomil before.â
âOh, what a rare coincidence.â
Then Cameron introduced William and Emmett to each other.
William said, âIâve heard of Mr. Carter before coming to City N. Itâs true that youâre really young yet outstanding.â
Emmett shook hands with him and greeted, âMr. William.â
Cameron said with a smile, âDonât just stand there. Take a seat.â
As they just had sat down, a maid walked into the dining hall hurriedly and whispered to Cameronâs ear again.
Cameron was astonished, âWhy is he here?â
William said, âMaybe itâs my guest.â
Cameron nodded his head and gestured the maid.
William looked towards Stella and said apologetically, âMs. Radomil, Iâm sorry. I donât know that youâre also here today.â
Emmett knitted his brows. He didnât say anything.
Stella was stunned. She had guessed who the guest was although William didnât tell her his name.
Sometimes the God of destiny likes to make fools of the people.
Stella forced a smile, âIt... It doesnât matter.â
She didnât know what else she should say.
When Clarence entered the dining hall, he fixed his eyes on Stella for several seconds as he hadnât expected to see her here.
Stella felt inexplicably unease. She picked up the glass and hided her awkwardness by drinking water.
After a round of greetings, Clarence sat opposite to Stella. She couldnât read through his mind from his cold expression.
Cameron said, âItâs the first time that I had many guests at the same time. Your presence really graces my house. Now that you know each other, please donât be courteous. Letâs start the meal.â
William held up his glass, âSorry for bothering you as I came here without invitation. Please forgive me, Mr. Thomas.â
âYouâre not an outsider. I told you to regard my house as your own home before and you can come whenever you want.â
Clarence said in a calm tone, âI havenât expected that Mr. William knows Mr. Thomas.â
William replied with a smile, âItâs my great honor to meet Mr. Thomas in a seminar abroad.â
Cameron nodded his head, âYep. I felt familiar with William when I met him before and learned that he was also from City N later.â
William curled his lips into a light smile. He didnât further explain it.
Clarence continued, âI heard that the members of the Perez family have been pestering Mr. Carter and they even came to bother Mr. Thomas. Is it solved?â
Cameronâs expression turned gloomy. He knew that Clarence was here for this matter.
Emmett replied, âIt has been solved. Please donât worry about it, Mr. Clarence.â
Clarence sneered meaningfully, âLooks like Mr. Carter has put great effort in it.â
âI just did the things that I should do.â
Cameron coughed, âNow that it has been solved, we should not mention that displeased topic again. Just regard todayâs meal as a family banquet.
Letâs talk about the others.â
After Cameron finished the word, Clarence asked, âNow that Mr. Thomas said that this is a family banquet, Mr. Thomas, can I ask you some private questions?â
Emmettâs eyes met with Clarenceâs in the air. He didnât dodge his gaze, âMr. Conrad, what do you want to ask?â
Not just Stella, even William and Cameron felt that there was an invisible fight between the two men.
It seemed like they would flatten the house at the next moment.
Clarence said in a calm voice, âMr. Carter, youâre not young now. I think you should consider your marriage.â
âMr. Conrad, youâre not in a hurry, why should I worry about it?â
Stella almost finished the water in her glass when racking her mind, but she couldnât find a way to stop them.
Clarence said in a cold voice, âMr. Carter, you should consider it. Otherwise, you will cover the other manâs wife every day.â
âCough...â
Stella was choked by the last mouthful of water she drank.
Emmett, who sat beside Stella, was the first to react. He raised his head and patted her back, âStella, are you alright?â
Stella shook her head. She took the opportunity and said, âI want to go to the toilet...â
Emmett also stood up, âYou havenât been here before. Let me take you there.â
When they walked out of the dining hall, they found Clarence also followed behind them.
Emmett turned around, âMr. Conrad?â
âI also want to go to the toilet. Mr. Carter, please take me there.â
â...â
Cameron asked after their leaving, âWhat happened between Clarence and Ms. Radomil?â
William replied, âThey divorced not long ago.â
Cameron finally figured out what was happening.
No wonder that they had that conversation in the tearoom before.
After a short while, Cameron said in a deep voice after making sure that they couldnât hear the conversation, âDidnât you say that you will come back after the New Year? Why do you come back in advance?â
William poured a cup of tea and said slowly, âThe Steward family has taken many actions recently. Itâs the most appropriate time.â
Cameron had also heard of the conflicts between the Conrad family and the Steward family.
He asked, âIs this the reason why you bring Clarence here?â
William smiled, âClarence is still young. Although heâs capable and has many means of doing things, the Steward has a profound background after all. Moreover, it has accumulated many interpersonal relationships over the years. Itâs impossible for him alone to assail the family.
âDo you want to use Clarence to get rid of...â
Cameron didnât finish his words. But William knew what he wanted to say.
Under current situation, as Clarence had a conflict with the Steward family, it would probably not cause any suspicion if he started his plan on Clarence.
Cameron asked in confusion, âBut I canât understand why Clarenceâs ex-wife is involved. I heard some news about her. This girl has a miserable past.â
William added some tea into his glass, âTo be honest, even I canât see through Clarenceâs mind. Heâs so young, yet both the Conrad family and the Steward family have scruples towards him. They even formed an alliance to fight against him.â
Cameron sighed silently, âClarence will be outstanding no matter where he is. But because of the mistake of the Conrad family, he has been accused as an illegitimate child. I guess that the Perez family must have sought troubles for him again and gain ever since he was taken back to the Conrad family. But maybe itâs these sufferings that fostered his growth and he has made such a great achievement now.â
After all, he once struggled in the dark days and this helped to form his supernormal schemes and fortitude.
