Stella put her phone back. Looking at the rain outside, she felt sleepless.
She always felt that Clarence was quite weird recently. It seemed like he was upset. But she thought maybe it was because he had too much work to deal with that he was so tired.
However, judging from Nathanâs tone of voice, it seemed like this was much more serious than she had imagined.
Stella heaved a long sigh and lay down on the bed.
At seven oâclock the next morning, Stella prepared breakfast after getting up and put it into an insulation bottle before leaving.
It was still drizzling outside and it was misty. There were also many puddles on the road.
Luckily, it was still early. As it was raining, there were few people on the road. It seemed like the whole city was still sleeping.
When Stella arrived at the Conrad Group, it was almost eight oâclock.
The employees hadnât come to work and there were only two security guards at the door. There were few people in the hall.
When Stella walked out of the lift, she found there were several people in the assistantsâ office.
Stella recalled what Nathan said last night and walked over.
The several assistants greeted her simultaneously when seeing her, âMs. Radomil.â
Stella slightly nodded her head and looked around, âWhereâs Nathan?â
âNathan left half an hour ago. Ms. Radomil, if you have any problems, you can tell us.â
Stella chuckled, âDonât bother. Is Clarence here?â
âMr. Conrad is in his office.â
âOkay, thank you.â
After leaving the assistantsâ office, Stella directly walked to the CEOâs office.
Stella knocked at the door and then gently and slightly opened the door.
Through the gap, Stella found Clarence was dealing with some documents. His features appeared to be indifferent and she couldnât read any expression from his face.
It seemed like he didnât sleep last night.
Stella walked into the office, âHave you had breakfast?â
Clarence looked up when hearing her voice and slightly raised his brows, âOh, you woke up so early.â
âDidnât you say that I canât sleep without you by my side?â
Clarence curled his thin lips into a light smile when he heard the words. He stood up and walked towards her, âThatâs true.â
Stella opened the insulation bottle, ladled out the chicken porridge and put it in front of Clarence, âHurry up to eat it.â
Clarence sat down on the sofa, grabbed Stellaâs hand and pulled her into his arms, âI want to eat it later. Itâs hot.â
âIt has been cooled down before I put it into the insulation bottle. Itâs warm.â
Clarence remained silent and just hugged her, After a short while, Stella asked, âDid Maxwell tell you what happened yesterday?â
âWhat?â Clarence explained, âI had had a meeting for the whole yesterday and I required them to deal with the insignificant matters themselves.â
âNot a big deal. Itâs just that... When Elaine delivered the goods to a customer, she encountered a small accident. Then she was sent back by her uncle.â
âUncle?â
Stella nodded her head, âIâve asked Archer. He told me that Elaineâs uncle had been in a relationship with a woman for many years, but the members of the James family had been objecting to the marriage. However, they broke up when they were about to agree to it.â
Clarence put his chin on Stellaâs shoulder and said blandly, âThen?â
âThen... Short after that, that woman had a car accident. The James family told the public that Caesar, Elaineâs uncle, also died in the car accident.
But the fact is that he left Riverside alone.â
Stella continued, âArcher told me that there were some rumours in the James family. But these rumours were not plausible. As for the details of this matter, only the several people involved are clear of them. I think now that Bancroft, who has died, and Hilbert, all suppressed the spreading of this news, it would have a great impact on the whole James family.â
Clarenceâs mother left the James family even though she had to be removed from the family tree and then left Riverside. This was serious.
But Stella thought Caesarâs matter was more serious.
Clarence asked, âHave you met him?â
âYes. We met when he sent Elaine back yesterday.â Stella recalled it, âHow to say it... Although his appearance is not that stunning, his temperament is quite outstanding. He will still stand out even if heâs among a group of people. Heâs not a person that others would neglect.â
Stella then added, âMoreover, I guess he comes for you.â
âOh?â
âHe told me that he was curious as some things happened in Riverside recently, so he came to City N to have a look.â
âDid he say anything else?â
Stella replied, âNope. Maybe he perceived that I donât like him, so he left after a small talk.â
Clarence nodded and said, âI will let Nathan investigate him later.â
Stella recalled something when mentioning Nathan. She tried to say something but swallowed the words she wanted to say in the end.
Never mind. Maybe Clarence didnât want her to know about it.
Even if she asked about it, he wouldnât tell her.
Seeing that Stella was silent, Clarence asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Stella pulled herself together, âNothing. I just feel that many matters had happened recently and there was no stop. Moreover....â
Stella always thought that they were led by an invisible string and there seemed to be no end.
Clarence rubbed her head and comforted her, âDonât think too much. Everything will come to an end soon.â
Stella pressed her lips into a straight line, remaining silent.
She broke the silence after a short while, âWell. Itâs late and I have to go to my studio. Eat the porridge.â
Clarence said, âI will ask a man to send you.â
âDonât bother. I drove here.â Stella stood up from his embrace, picked up her bad and reminded him again, âEat the porridge.â
Clarence smiled, âOkay.â
Short after Stellaâs leaving, an assistant sent some documents into the office.
Clarence asked, âHas Nathan come back?â
âNot yet. Mr. Conrad, do you have any problems.â
Clarence paused for several seconds, then he ordered blandly, âI want you to find a person.â
...
It was during the rush hour in the morning when Stella drove to her studio and the road was crowded.
Stella slowly drove along with the traffic flow, gradually became impatient.
Right at this moment, her phone that was put aside rang.
Stella pressed a button of the car to answer the call. Then there came a womanâs voice, âHello, this is a childrenâs educational institution. Does your child need any...â
âNo thanks.â
Stella directly ended the call.
But as her attention was distracted, she didnât notice the red light. Plus that it was raining, the road was wet and slippery. Even she stepped on the brake, her car still real-ended the car in front of hers because of inertia.
Stella stopped the car and hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Stella apologized to her, âIâm sorry. Itâs my fault. I will be fully responsible for it. What would you like to deal with it? To claim for insurance or would you like me to compensate for you?â
âMy car is very expensive. Can you afford the compensation?â
Just as the driver finished the words, the door to the backseat was opened. A man who was holding an umbrella walked to them and checked the condition of the car, âItâs not that serious. It just peeled some paint.â
He was surprised when he saw Stella, âMs. Radomil?â
