In the middle of the night, when Stella slept till semi-conscious, she felt the bed beside her sank slightly. Then, she fell into a warm embrace.
She closed her eyes, and her voice was filled with fatigue, âDid you just come back?â
Clarence said yes, patted her on the back lightly with his big palm, and said in a low voice, âContinue sleeping.â
Stella habitually wrapped her arms around his waist and fell asleep again very soon.
In the darkness, Clarence kissed her on the forehead.
Now, Phoebe was caught, but Lyndon was still nowhere to be found.
He was like a time bomb, no one knew when it would explode.
Right now, the Steward Groupâs internal chaos had become a huge mess, and many accounts had been in deficit, A group of high-level managers quitted and left the company, leaving only employees who knew nothing.
If no one stood up to preside over the situation, the company that had stood firmly in City N for centuries, the family business that had been passed down several generations would collapse overnight. Its collapse would be seen as if it had never existed before. Many Steward Groupâs employees would also suffer a huge blow.
The person who caused these consequences was Lyndon.
Because of one personâs selfish desire, thousands of people were harmed.
Regardless of how many times he died, it was not enough to compensate for what he had done.
...
The next day, when Stellaâs alarm clock rang, Clarence was no longer sleeping beside her.
She got up with a yawn, washed up and went out of the bedroom.
Alisa was already in the kitchen preparing breakfast, âMadam, youâre awake. The meal will be ready soon.â
Stella looked around, âWhere is Clarence?â
Alisa said, âI just arrived, and Mr. Conrad left, saying that there is something in the company, and he asked me to tell you that he might be quite busy recently, and you donât have to miss him.â
Stella was speechless.
Who missed him!
Halfway through the meal, Stella suddenly remembered something and asked, âAlisa, did the family next door give birth to a baby?â
Alisa shook her head, âIâm not sure, I havenât seen anyone next door.â
âI havenât seen them either.â
Alisa laughed, âIf you like babies, you can have one too.â
Hearing this, Stella paused and didnât say anything.
Seeing this, Alisa thought that Stella was thinking of the child she had before. She said cautiously, âMadam, did I say something wrong?â
Stella said, âNo, I just think that kids are really cute.â
For the last few times, Clarence didnât wear a condom when they did it, so she wasnât sure if she could get pregnant.
Just let God decide.
After the meal, Stella went to the studio.
After a rest, a lot of work had been backlogged.
Although fashion week was still a few months away, there were many things that needed to be determined in advance and must be prepared as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Sherry came knocking on the door and asked in a low voice, âStella, are you busy?â
Stella stretched out and said, âItâs okay, whatâs wrong?â
âThere two people outside... They say they are employees of the Steward Group, and they want to see you.â
Stella froze, âThey are here to see me?â
Sherry nodded, âYes, if you donât want to see them, Iâll just reject their request.â
It had been a while since the Steward Groupâs anniversary celebration.
Stella did not pay much attention to the Steward Groupâs affairs, but last night she saw the news saying that several major projects of the Steward Group were called to a halt. However, there was no one to lead the situation, which made the employees extremely panic.
Stella paused a while and said, âLet them in.â
âOkay.â
But what Stella didnât expect was that she knew both of them.
One was the leader who tried to get Madison drunk at the table before, Armand.
Another person was the single father that Madison once said she would introduce to her, Logan.
Compared to the time they met before, once Armand entered the office, he was very agitated, sobbing emotionally. He approached Stella and stretched out his hands to shake hers, âMs. Radomil, I really thank you for taking the time to meet us although you have a busy schedule, I really...â
Stella avoided his hand and said lightly, âNo need to be so polite, just go straight to the point.â
Armand awkwardly wiped the sweat on his forehead and sat in the sofa, âDuring the last anniversary celebration, we only know that you are the real heir of the Steward Group. You must have heard about the current situation of the company, so we have no choice but to...â
Logan took over the conversation, âItâs better for me to say it. Ms. Radomil, since the chairman disappeared, the Steward Group has become a mess.
Whether it is the partners or the employees, they donât know what they will face in the future. They also donât know what the company will become.
We canât make any decisions at all. Hence, we would like to ask you, what do you think about the Steward Group?â
Stella said, âI donât have any relationship with the Steward Group.â
Armand said, âYes, yes, yes. Those problems were created by the chairman... No, itâs Lyndon. We can differentiate between good and bad. Naturally, we will not let you take over this mess. But thousands of employees in the company are innocent, as well as those large and small partners. All of them have a family to feed. Losing the company may be not a big deal to others, but for them, they have invested all their assets and energy into the company. This will lead to an unknown number of companies to go bankrupt and families to fall apart.â
Hearing this, Stella frowned and did not speak.

Armand continued, âYes! The other senior members of the Steward Group have all run away. We have worked for so many years in this company, and the employees are like our family members. I really canât bear it.â
After hearing this, Stella looked at him, âYour relationship with the employees is like a family?â
Armand thought that Stella was going to accept their request. He patted his thigh and said, âIsnât it right? We canât leave our family alone!â
Stella said âOhâ, and continued, âMaybe Iâm too ignorant or Iâve seen too little about the world, it was my first time seeing that someone will actually force their family members to drink and trying to harm her.â
In an instant, Armandâs face was filled with indescribably embarrassment and awkward.
He forced himself to speak, âThat... that was because I was drunk at the time and started to say nonsense. I hope that you wonât take it to heart.â
Logan also said, âMs. Radomil, Mr. Bernard may have made some mistakes in certain aspects, but he has worked in the Steward Group for more than ten years, he must have feeling towards the company.â
âLogan is right. The Steward Group is considered as my home. Now, Iâm going to lose my home. I canât possibly stand aside and do nothing,â Armand sighed deeply, âIf you are still mad about what had happened before, I can go...â
Stella interrupted him, âYou guys came here to see me, so what do you want me to do?â
