Chapter 24: Chapter 24

The reason used was either that it was a gift given by the company and everyone who saw it would get it or it was sent by a partner company, etc.

Various kinds of fancy excuses were used.

In the Rolls Royce, there was suddenly a strange and quiet atmosphere.

Clarence opened his eyes. His eyes were cold and lonely.

It had been more than a month but he would still often forget this matter.

Some habits that were already practised for long were hard to be changed.

On the contrary, Stella could get over everything very quickly.

Nathan said again, “Mr. Conrad, SG Jewelry Magazine has a show next week. As a former partner, shall we send some gifts to offer our congratulations? We don’t need to give gifts to the entire company, mainly to send people like the chief editor, photographers...designers and so on?”

Clarence kept silent for a few seconds. He suddenly spoke, “The artists of the Conrad Group have also been involved in the show this time so by right, we should give gifts.”

Nathan’s heartbeats had finally returned to normal. He began to prepare other people’s gifts.

So, three days later, the people from the assistant room of the Conrad Group arrived at the office of SG Jewelry Magazine and gave gifts separately.

When Stanford got the gift, he could not regain his presence of mind for quite a while. What kind of situation was this? Why did Clarence suddenly become so kind and cordial?

The photographers who got the gifts were also very confused. Was this so-called a free lunch that was obtained without any effort?

Only Stella who was the only contracted designer of SG Jewelry Magazine looked exceptionally calm when she looked at the gift that had been delivered to her after a long and arduous journey.

In the pantry next to her, a few staff members were excitedly having a discussion.

“I’ve said that long since! I’ve said that long since! The reason that the Conrad Group has been very bullish on our magazine lately is certainly that it wants to support Vivian! Mr. Conrad has really done everything he can in order to get a smile from her!”

“No wonder recently I heard that Mr. Leif has the intention of finding an endorser for the Puppy Love’ Series. With the support of the Conrad Group which is a powerful group, no wonder Vivian is able to stand out from many models who are better than her to do a catwalk in the show this time.”

“But I’ve heard that Mr. Conrad’s wife is quite beautiful and is not inferior to Vivian at all. He doesn’t need to do so, right...”

“This is the part where you don’t understand. No matter how beautiful the one at home is, the slut outside is still more coquettish. Don’t think that Vivian is apparently simple-minded, she’s actually very capable at pleasing men.”

“I still have big news which is certainly accurate. Mr. Conrad and his wife have divorced. Vivian may be able to become the successor.”

“My God, no wonder she has such good resources. She is preparing to marry into a wealthy family. But, will the Conrad family which is powerful accept her?”

“This isn’t a big problem. I recently heard that Mr. Conrad’s previous wife was even sold to Twilight Club. Even she also could marry into the Conrad family, how will Vivian fail.”

When Sherry came over, it was just nice that she heard the last sentence. She immediately said in fury, “What are you guys talking about here during working hours! If you don’t want to do the job, go and type the resignation report!”

It was the first time they saw her get so angry. They embarrassedly scattered and went back to their own work position.

After they left, Sherry walked up to Stella, “Stella, they’re just talking nonsense, don’t take it to heart.”

Stella regained her presence of mind and smiled, “It’s okay, did you receive a gift too.”

As a photographer that was also quite famous, Sherry naturally also received this unique gift.

She passionately insulted the wretched pair of man and woman for another ten minutes before she managed to relieve her anger. She asked, “The show will start next week. How is your progress of preparation?”

“Pretty good, everything goes smoothly.”

After leaving the office of the SG Jewelry Magazine, Stella went to the hospital.

Today was the day that she needed to do the prenatal check-up.

The doctor said that the little one in her belly was growing well and had grown from a yellow bean to a small pea.

After the check-up, she went out. Very soon, a male voice sounded behind her, “Stella?”

Stella’s body stiffened and she slowly turned her head.

Horace strode over and held her wrist, “It’s really you...Stella, I really want to talk to you, give me a little time, okay?”

Stella withdrew her hand and blurted out a word after a long time, “Okay.”

In the café outside the hospital, Stella and Horace sat opposite each other and for a long time, none of them spoke.

Not knowing how many minutes ticked by, Horace pursed his lips and said, “Stella, three years ago...”

“I’m sorry about what happened three years ago. If you just want to know why, I can tell you now,” Stella simply said, “On the day I won the award, I received the news that my father owed loan sharks a million yuan. I wanted to exchange the opportunity of going to Paris for cash but I was refused.

You should have heard from Annie about the matters that happened afterward.”

Horace frowned tightly and never expected that it would surprisingly be such a reason, “Why don’t you tell me directly, I can help you...”

Stella interrupted him, “How can you help me? Help me pay back the money? Horace, we don’t have any kind of relationship, what reason do I have to let you help me pay back the money.”

“Stella, you know my thought. We are obviously almost in a relationship. You can completely ask for my help since it’s only such an amount of money.”

Stella laughed while shaking her head, “I’m glad we weren’t together at that time, at least the pure feeling of love was kept. I didn’t want you to know what kind of environment I was living in and I didn’t want you to know that I had a useless father. You’re right, maybe you can give me money once or twice, but what if this continues for a long time, won’t you get tired of it?”

“In your view, am I so unworthy for you to rely on?”

“It isn’t a matter of reliance. Even I myself also can’t stand it many times and I wish to go to a place where nobody knows me, but there are things that people can never get rid of.”

Horace said, “What about now, I know you and Clarence have divorced. You should at least look back, I really...”

Stella’s voice was soft, “Did you see which place I came out of just now.”

Horace’s hand that was put on the table was slowly clenched into a fist.

He saw it, of course. It was just that he had thought of countless reasons in his mind to deceive himself.

What if she was accompanying a friend, what if she just went in to look for someone.

An Eight-year-old Princess However, the truth was shown right in front of him and he had to believe it.

Horace had apparently lost some of his strength, “Does Clarence know?”

“I don’t intend to tell him and I also want you to help me to keep this secret.”

“I promise you.”

After Stella left, Horace came out of the café and his entire person looked depressed.

If he could have been more proactive at that time, without the appointment of going to Paris, he would be able to confirm his relationship with Stella before attending the competition. Everything would have been different.

She would not have married Clarence and they would not lose the opportunity to be together.

“Horace, why do you come here?”

Rebecca called him and seeing that he did not respond, she reached out and shook her hand in front of him, “What are you thinking about.”

Horace regained his presence of mind, “Rebecca.”

Rebecca said impatiently, “Come on, you said you will accompany me to do the prenatal check-up but you disappear in the blink of an eye. If I don’t have Phoebe with me today, what if something happens to me who is with a big belly and left alone.”

Next to Rebecca, Phoebe locked her arm in hers while smiling, “Rebecca, don’t say that. The doctor has said that the baby in your belly is fine, nothing will happen.”

“Phoebe is always the best. If you can be my sister-in-law, it will be really great but unfortunately, you two never fall in love with each other. Alas, this guy is not young anymore but he has never brought a girlfriend home. My parents are really worried.”

Phoebe said, “Rebecca, I hear that the bratty daughter of the Conrad family is chasing Horace recently.”
