After Nathan left the CEOâs office, he felt that the back of his shirt was soaked in sweat.
He simply packed up and left Conrad Group directly.
On the way, Nathan picked up a phone call. After hanging up, he called Clarence.
From the other end of the line, Clarence said indifferently, âSpeak.â
âMr. Conrad, I got the news just now. The payment for those people was wired from an overseas account in Phoebe Stewardâs name. The account was opened in New York City twenty years ago. A large amount of money was wired into the account every year. I guess it was gained from the illegal deeds that Armand Bernard has been doing.
âThis account number is quite confidential. There's only transfer-in but no withdrawal at all. No one else, including Phoebe Steward, knows about this account.â
Clarence asked, âHave you found when Lyndon Steward left City N?â
Nathan answered, âWilliam and we have sent our men to all entrances and exits of City N. Even if he chose to steal into another country, he couldnât have left quietly without alerting us. Hence thereâs one possibility...â
Either Lyndon was able to escape through underground, or someone helped him flee away. The person must be someone that they wouldnât investigate or suspect.
After a few seconds, Clarence said, âIâll stay in London for a while longer. If anything happens in City N, deal with it with Maxwell. Please also keep an eye on Stellaâs studio. If they are too busy, you can send two helpers over.â
Nathan answered and said with hesitation, âMr. Conrad...â
âGo ahead.â
However, Nathan held back his words in silence.
Clarence asked, âAre you getting married?â
Nathan gaped, âHow could it be possible?â
He was too busy to find a girlfriend. Who would he marry to?
âWhy are you stammering then? Do you want me to send you an invitation for a speech?â
Nathan was speechless.
He regretted it, if only he could speak directly just now.
With Clarenceâs remark, Nathan felt like what he was going to say would sound like he was blaming Clarence, mixed with threats and showing-off.
After a short while of silence, Nathan continued, âYoung Master Justin had a talk to me today.â
âWhat benefits did he offer?â
âHe asked me to be the deputy president with a five percent dividend.â
Clarence said, âThatâs nice. You can give me more lucky money for my wedding.â
Nathan choked up.
Suddenly, he realized that Clarence seemed to have succeeded in his marriage proposal.
Nathan let out a dry laugh and said, âIf I reject Master Justin's offer, may I skip the lucky money for your wedding?â
âDream on.â After a few seconds, Clarence added, âItâs all up to you if you want to accept his offer or not. Make your own decision. Don't mind about me.â
âI wonât go.â
Clarence said, âItâs your own decision. You canât blame me for it in the future.â
Nathan said solemnly, âMr. Conrad, do you know why it has taken you such a long time to gain Ms. Radomilâs heart? Itâs because you have an extremely sharp tongue.â
âSo what? Iâve won her heart.â
Nathan smiled wryly. What could he say? He decided to follow this man himself.
Clarence spoke again, âAll right. You can go back on your word at any time without telling me.â
After that, he hung up the phone.
Nathan held the phone, heaving a sigh. He wondered why he had become so popular suddenly as two men were "fighting" for him.
One of them was gentle and kind, and the other was cold-hearted and ruthless, bad-tempered, and sharp-tongued.
It was quite a challenge to make the choice, wasnât it?
On the other side, Stella heard the footsteps in the corridor. She walked over quietly, only to find that Clarence was standing in front of the window, lost in thought.
She walked over and asked, âWhat happened? Who has called just now?â
Clarence turned to look at her and sighed, âSadly, your vacant position without any competition might lose the only one candidate.â
Stella was confused, wondering what nonsense he was talking about.
Clarence withdrew his gaze and looked forward. After a while, he said, âNathan will probably stay in Conrad Group.â
It took a few seconds for Stella to understand what he meant just now.
Trying to hold back her laughter, she stood next to him and asked, âDonât you want him to stay in Conrad Group?â
âWhat does it have anything to do with me? I canât make any decision for him. Or he would blame me in the future if he think working for me is no better than staying in Conrad Group.â
âThat makes sense. If he continued working for you, he would become bald before turning thirty.â
Clarence corrected her. âHe is thirty-one.â
Stella was rendered speechless.
He sounded as if it was normal for a thirty-one-year-old man to become bald.
It started drizzling outside the window.
After a while, Clarence asked, âDo you think Iâve given him too much pressure?â
âA bit. Think about it. You even asked him to wash dishes. As long as you need him, he will appear immediately. Heâs always twenty-four hours standby. I guess he does have a lot of pressure.â
Clarence turned to look at her. âDo you know how much he earns a year?â
Stella chose to shut up.
Clarence continued, âJustin promised him a five-percent dividend. According to the average profit of Conrad Group, it will be ten times his current annual salary. I can understand why heâs interested.
âOf course, the amount was only based on the average profit of Conrad Group when I was still the CEO. After I quit, Conrad Groupâs profit will remain normal in the following two years, but it will go down later. Then he wonât get as much as the current salary Iâve offered him.â
Stella muttered, âEven though this is the case, he would've made enough money with the dividend in the following two years.
Clarence turned to stare at her expressionlessly.
Stella held back her smile. âCanât you just directly tell him you want him to continue working for you?â
âNo, I canât. It would look like I want to constrain him.â
Stella thought for a moment and felt that his words made sense.
At this point, a doctor and a few nurses came to measure Williamâs body temperature.
Stella said, âIâll go back to the ward.â
Clarence nodded.
After she entered the ward, Clarence stared at his phone. After a long while, he sent Nathan a message.
âIâll give you a raise and hire an assistant for you.â
After sending the message, Clarence put his cell phone into his trousers pocket and went into the ward.
In the ward, a doctor was changing dressing for Williamâs wound.
Looking at the horrible wound, Stella felt her hair stand on the end.
Clarence walked over and stood next to her. Covering her eyes with one hand, he whispered, âDon't look.â
With shaky breathing, she was clenching his sleeve tightly.

Twenty minutes later when Nathan finished showering and came out of the bathroom, he saw Clarenceâs message, and he was startled; his phone almost dropped on the floor.
He wondered if Mr. Conrad had been bewitched.
