Stella put away her smile, nodding slightly.
Sherry couldnât help cursing inwardly. She asked in a gentle tone, âHave you given her that necklace?â
âYep. Annie tossed it away.â
Sherry heaved a sigh, âForget it. Just let it be. Anyway, youâve got the design payment. Itâs their own business how to deal with it.â
Although her words made sense, Sherry knew that each designed product was unique containing a designerâs effort. Stella was definitely upset when seeing her designed end product be smashed and tossed in her presence.
Stella said, âLetâs go home.â
As soon as she finished speaking, Sherry saw Clarence walk out of the hotel. He was expressionless, emanating a cold aura. He strode over to a Rolls-Royce parked at the roadside.
He didnât spare any glance at them.
Nathan, who followed him, cast a hesitant glance at Stella. He wasnât sure if he should invite Stella to get into the car, so he could only nod at her and drove the car away hurriedly.
Sherry said, âWhat is wrong with the wretched man again? Itâs his fault that heâs so playful with women. How could he be so arrogant? I have mistaken him as a good man. Phew!â
Stella faintly smiled, âLetâs go.â
...
Back to Starry Lake Mansion, Stella was walking upstairs. The servant whispered to her, âMrs. Conrad, did you fight with Mr. Conrad again? Just now, he came back home with a long face as if he was quite angry.â
âNo worries. Heâs always like this.â
The servant left after exchanged a few words with her.
Walking into her room, Stella took out her suitcase from the cabinet and roughly put all her clothes in it. Then she pulled the suitcase out of her room.
When she walked out of the room, she saw Clarence lean against the door with both his hands in the trousers pockets. He stared at her expressionlessly, âWhere are you going?â
Stella answered, âMr. Conrad, you are getting married. I donât have any reason to continue staying here.â
Clarence suddenly sneered, âYouâve listened to one sentence from her and you believed her. Iâve said a lot of words to you but you donât care at all.
Stella, itâs just your excuse, isnât it?â
âMr. Conrad, if you are delighted to think this way, please go ahead.â
Stella wasnât in the mood to talk nonsense with him. Directly, she dragged the suitcase forward.
When she reached the stairs, she stopped.
She acted way too recklessly.
Not far away from her, Clarence didnât move a bit. He looked at her calmly.
There was fury suppressed in Stellaâs heart for some reason. Now he seemed to compete with her in silence. She thought for a moment and walked downstairs, âExcuse me, Alisa. Could you please help me take the luggage downstairs?â
Alisa was about to say yes, but she saw Clarence appear on the top of the stairs with a cold look.
She was enlightened. With one hand covering her waist, she said, âAlas... Mrs. Conrad, Iâve got a strong pain in my back recently. I canât lift anything heavy.â
After that, she escaped from the scene.
Stella was speechless.
Then she decided to give up her belongings.
She turned around and took a step. While walking, she heard Clarenceâs voice from her back, âYou should know the consequences after leaving here.â
Upon hearing it, Stella paused her pace.
Clarence walked downstairs slowly, sitting on the sofa.
Stella looked at him, âMr. Conrad, are you threatening me?â
âIf you are delighted to think this way, please go ahead.â
Stella was choked up.
She wondered the wretched man might have something wrong mentally.
Stella pressed her lips and tried to reason with him, âMr. Conrad, Miss Steward shouldnât know my relationship with you. She also doesnât know weâre staying in the same house right now. If she knew it...â
Clarence looked up at her, âIf she knew it, what would happen?â
Stella was interrupted by him. For a moment, she forgot what she was about to talk to him.
Clarence added, âStella, I believe you should explain why you showed up there. You shouldnât have questioned me about whom Iâm going to marry.â
Stella denied that she was questioning him.
It was him who obviously wanted to have two men at the same time.
Stella inhaled deeply, âMr. Conrad, I didnât mean to show up there. Miss Steward is my client. I went there to send her the end product. Later, because of the incident in the auction, I needed to explain it to Mr. Jason.â
âDid he listen to your explanation?â
âWell... No, he didnât.â
âWas your explanation useful?â
âNo, it wasnât either.â
Clarence looked over at her coldly, âThen, tell me. What were you doing there?â
Stella quieted down for a moment and said, âMr. Conrad, something happened to my design. As the designer, I should be responsible for it. Itâs not that I didnât need to explain because it was not useful.â
âI didnât see how responsible you were. I just saw that Horace Jason was against his father because of you.â
Clarenceâs tone was indifferent as if he was quite happy to see what had happened.
Stella didnât speak. She knew how stressful Horace would be when he clarified for her in public.
Clarence added, âStella, Horace Jason has the engagement with the Conrad family already. Now the Jason family knows your existence and has witnessed that Horace Jason could do anything for you. Do you think they would pretend that nothing has happened and not deal with you?â
Stella didnât understand it, âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean your enemies are not only the Conrad family but also the Jason family. As long as you walk out of this door, I have nothing to do with what youâll end up with.â
Stella was silent for a few seconds. She chuckled, âOh, right. Mr. Conrad, youâre not interested in dealing with such a matter, anyway.â
Clarence licked his thin lips, his black eyes gazing at her without a blink.
He had never been in a mood to explain anything. He didnât care how others would misunderstand him.
However, he suddenly wanted to dig out the ungrateful womanâs heart and see if she still had her conscience.
Clarence said, âIf I donât deal with things for you, do you think you can still stand here speaking to me?â
Stella smiled at him perfunctorily. She wasnât in the mood to continue speaking to him. She said, âNo matter what, Mr. Conrad, since youâve engaged with Miss Steward, youâd better find a chance and make everything clear to her. In a married, the most important is honesty and responsibility.â
Clarence cast her a glance, âDo you mean that I wasnât honest enough to you and I didnât take my responsibility in the past?â
Stella didnât answer.
He had admitted it himself.
âWell, Mr. Conrad, I just think since youâre getting married to Miss Steward, you shouldnât have hidden anything from her. Otherwise...â
âStella, are you jealous?â
Stella was confused.
Clarence stood up and approached her step by step, âYou kept talking about Phoebe Steward and marriage. Arenât you jealous?â

With a blushed face, she denied, âNo, Iâm not! Mr. Conrad, I just think your behaviors are way too shameless!â
While she was stepping back, she bumped into something. When she was about to fall, she grabbed the shirt in front of her in a panic.
