Stella walked back to her room and opened the suitcase, putting her belongings back.
Done that, she lay down on the bed helplessly.
She hadnât done anything today, but she was extremely exhausted.
When she was looking out of the window in a daze, her phone rang.
Stella sat up and looked around in her room. Then she saw her phone on the desk.
It was a call from Phoebe.
âHello, Ms. Radomil. I want to apologize to you on Annieâs behalf. She was spoiled since her childhood. Please donât take it to your heart.â
Stella said calmly, âItâs alright.â
After a pause, Phoebe said, âAlthough it sounds a bit abrupt, Iâm quite curious, wondering if what Annie said was real. Please donât misunderstand. I didnât mean anything else. I just want to know your relationship with Clarence.â
âIâm his ex-wife.â
âIt turns out to be like this... Iâm sorry. I didnât know about your relationship before. Please excuse my offense.â
âMiss Steward, please donât mention it. Iâve already divorced him. I didnât expect that you are his fiancee either. I should apologize for that.â
Phoebe smiled, âYeah. Iâve been liking him for a long time. We were supposed to get married, but unfortunately...â
She didnât finish her words. Instead, she said, âBefore I met you in person, I heard a lot of comments about you from Annie, so I had misunderstood you a lot. But now, itâs quite different. Iâm so glad to have a friend like you. I believe that you are absolutely not the kind of person that Annie has thought.â
Stella said, âIn fact, Annie Conrad wasnât wrong. Iâm not a good person anyway. I forced Clarence Conrad to marry me.â
Phoebe said, âI still prefer to believe what Iâve seen personally.â
Stella slightly smiled and said, âThank you, Miss Steward.â
âIâve said that Iâll treat you for dinner after the end product is done. Now I believe I have more reason to invite you as an apology. When will you be free, Ms. Radomil?â
...
After hanging up the phone, Stella lay on the bed, feeling more bored.
If she had known that Phoebe was Clarenceâs fiancee earlier, sheâd rather refuse to make such money instead of taking this order.
She felt so annoyed.
Stella pressed her head into the pillow. How she wished to smash the wretched man to death! If it werenât because of him, she wouldnât have stuck in such a dilemma.
If she couldnât handle it well, she would be called the mistress between Phoebe and Clarence.
She couldnât help cursing the wretched man.
She wished him to go to hell.
The more she thought about it, the angrier Stella was. She got up and opened the draft book. After a few quick brushes on one page, she stood up and walked out of her bedroom with sticky tape. She taped the paper on Clarenceâs bedroom door.
After venting her anger slightly in that way, she finally calmed herself down.
However, in the latter half of the night, she still couldnât fall asleep.
No wonder Clarence didnât care about the baby in her belly at all. He would soon marry Phoebe. When they had their baby, the baby must be born noble.
Thinking that she would give birth in a few months, Stella wondered what she should do.
Clarence was so powerful, and the Conrad family kept an eye on her as well. She couldnât manage to escape at all.
However, if Clarence and Phoebe married before the babyâs birth, it might be an opportunity for Stella.
On the second day, when Clarence opened his bedroom door, he saw a piece of paper floating down next to his feet.
He bent down one knee and picked it up. When seeing what was on it, he sneered.
Looking up at the door of Stellaâs bedroom, he licked his thin lips. Then he took the paper back to his room and came out soon, taping it on her bedroom door.
...
Stella didnât get up until noon because of her insomnia last night. She felt quite weak.
When she pushed the door open and yawned, the paper that was supposed to be taped on Clarenceâs bedroom door was taped on hers.
Stella rubbed her eyes and found that there were extra brushes on the turtle on the paper. It had long hair and her name âStellaâ was written in the center.
She was speechless.
What was wrong with the wretched man?
Stella sobered up instantly in anger. Subconsciously, she wanted to fight back, but when she picked up her pen, she found it way too childish. Even an elementary student would disdain to do so.
Like rolling Clarence, she violently rolled the paper and tossed it into the garbage can.
After lunch, as soon as Stella arrived at SG Jewelry Magazine, Stanford asked her to go to his office. And so was Modesty.
Stanford said, âAbout the incident that happened last night at the charity banquet, weâre looking into it. However, the impact of this incident was too big and you both are involved. I want to know your opinions.â
Modesty said firstly, âI didnât take good care of my clientâs design. I must take the major responsibility.â
Stanford didnât answer her. He looked over at Stella, âWhat about you, Ms. Radomil?â
âWell, since the other party could take away Modestyâs necklace designed for Miss Steward, know which one of the three auction items from SG Jewelry Magazine was mine, and exchange it, I believe it was done by an insider.â
Stanford nodded in agreement, âI agreed. But there are too many employees in our company. Itâs quite difficult to investigate. I guess it will take a long time.â
Stella said, âThanks, Mr. Leif, but I donât want to continue looking into this matter.â
âWhy not?â

With a smile, Stella said, âThe person who set me up aimed to see my embarrassment on the charity banquet. However, she never expected that Horace Jason would help me declare the matter. She doesnât know the relationship between Horace and me, nor does she know if she has exposed any other flaws besides the surveillance. She must be in a panic now. If I keep on looking into the matter, she probably would use different means to make her innocent. If I donât look into it, she couldnât do anything. However, she would be in a panic every day and lead an uneasy life.â
As she spoke, she looked over at Modesty who lowered her head. With a brighter smile, she asked, âWhat do you think, Ms. Parker?â
Modesty heard Stella calling her, and her heart skipped a beat. She tried her best to maintain calm, âI... How do I know? But, if I were you, I would definitely keep on looking into it.â
Stella said, âSomeone told me yesterday that the world doesnât only contain black and white. I also want to take the chance to see besides black and white, what else colors this world has.â
Upon hearing her words, Modesty clenched her hands tightly.
She was almost certain that Stella had known what she had done. The purpose why Stella said those words was to warn her that she had caught on her. Hence, Modesty couldnât do anything against Stella at all.
