In the disclosure, although it didnât point out which big shot in business was Stellaâs sugar daddy, it could be perceived from the lines that he was a person that even SG didnât dare to offend. This explained why Stellaâs scandals were oppressed again and again and why SG gave her strong support.
This matter went virus comprehensively after the disclosure. Suddenly a person, asserting to be a person in the know, disclosed that the photos were photographed in the Conrad family in City N.
There were many replies to this post. Someone asserting to be an employee of SG said that she once saw a rich lady come to SGâs office for Stella.
The onlookers recalled the scenes and guessed that the rich lady she mentioned should be Joanna.
A commenter then mentioned illegitimate children. In the beginning, they were all discussing which member of the Conrad family was the father of the illegitimate child in Stellaâs belly. A commenter suddenly mentioned, the Conrad family had an illegitimate child now.
When Stella learned about this, it was already ten oâclock in the evening.
And it was Sherry who called her and told her about this.
This matter had triggered heated discussion and the stock price of the Conrad Group had been affected to some extent.
Sherry swallowed salvia, seeming to be frightened, âStella, will they blame you for all of these? Can you escape now? Should I call the police and ask them to rescue you?â
Stella thought it weird. It seemed like the disclosure was targeting her from the beginning, but it suddenly changed its target out of no reason and took aim at an illegitimate child.
Both she and other members of the Conrad family were clear that illegitimate child had been the biggest barrier and reason for estrangement between Clarence and the other members of the Conrad family. And it was also the source of all the problems.
When thinking of this, Stella shook her head, âPlease help me observe the tendency of public opinion and this matter. If thereâs any problem, please tell me in time.â
She paused and continued, âAnd help me take care of Channing too.â
âI see.â But Sherry was still worrying about Stella, âHowâs this. You shall send me a message to prove that youâre safe once an hour. Only in this way can I make sure whether they have hurt you or not.â
âOkay.â
After ending the call, Sherry asked, âBy the way, how is Clarence going to solve this problem?â
Stella shook her head, âI donât know. He went to the company this morning and hasnât come back yet.â
Sherry said, âI see. I will ask my friend about the current situation of the Conrad Group and I will reply if thereâs news.â
When Stella ended the call, Stella heard a loud sound from the study downstairs.
It seemed like Dempsey was throwing temper tantrums and was smashing things.
Stella clenched her phone tightly and only opened the door after taking a deep breath.
When she was about to go downstairs, she bumped into Justin.
Justin asked, âStella, why are you going out so late?â
Stella pressed her lips together, âThis problem is caused by me. I want to ...â
âStella, you donât need to think too much of it. Itâs not your fault.â
Stellaâs phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Clarence.
Stella hesitated and then received the call. Clarenceâs cold voice immediately sounded from the other end of the phone, âStay in your bedroom.
Youâre not allowed to go anywhere. This matter has nothing to do with you.â
Stella, â...â
Did he install a surveillance camera on her?
After finishing the words, Clarence hung up the phone without waiting for Stellaâs reply.
Watching Stella put down her phone slowly, Justin chuckled, âIs it Clarence?â
Stella nodded her head.
âJust listen to him. He will solve all of these.â
Stella didnât say anything else and went back to her bedroom.
It was true that she couldnât help in this matter and she would at most be the one for them to vent their fits of anger if she went downstairs.
But tonightâs matters were fishy.
They were so closely linked.
...
Justin found Joanna in the garden. Looking at her back, Justin only spoke after a long while, âMom.â
Joanna turned around and it seemed like she was not surprised at all, âItâs so late now. Why do you ding me?â
âDid you plan that matter related to Clarence?â
Joanna curled her lips into a light smile, âWalls have ears. Maybe itâs because even God canât bear it any longer.â
Justin was a bit helpless, âIt has already evolved to such a situation. Arenât you afraid that itâs not chaotic enough?â
âWhy am I afraid of it? Iâm just afraid that it will not be boisterous enough. Youâve suffered grievance for many years, canât I vent the anger for you?â
Joanna continued, âMoreover, I didnât arrange this. I just stirred up the trouble.â
Joanna was true. She was indeed not the dominant intriguer of this matter.
This matter not only related to the Conrad familyâs reputation but also hers. Therefore, she didnât take action even though she had thought of ruining Clarenceâs reputation and status through this means.
But now since someone had disclosed this, she just took the opportunity to guide the public opinion.
Justin said, âBut can you change anything by doing this?â
âI would like to bring some troubles to him even though I canât change anything.â Joanna stood up, âAll right. Donât involve in this matter. I will deal with it according to the situations.â
Annie, who hid in the darkness, bit her lower lip tightly.
She hadnât expected that Clarence was Dempseyâs illegitimate son, which meant that he had no blood relation with her and he was not her real cousin.
No wonder that Joanna didnât like him since childhood. Annie had been thinking that this was because Joanna favored Justin before after he was crippled.
But now she finally realized why Joanna asked her to call Justin âbrotherâ, but call Clarence âcousinâ.
It turned out that he was just an illegitimate son.
Since this was the case, why should she be afraid of him?
Annie turned around and went upstairs to the second floor. Standing in front of Stellaâs bedroom, she narrowed her eyes.

In the Conrad Group...
The whole company was enshrouded in an oppressive ambience in the face of this sudden negative news.
Now no one cared about who the sugar daddy of that designer was and who the childâs father was.
What they cared more about was the news that was indistinctly pointed out on the internet â Clarence, the CEO of the Conrad Group, might be an illegitimate son.
As for a rumor of a rich family, the more obscure it was, the more curious the others were.
In the CEOâs office...
Nathan felt that her career was encountered by an unprecedentedly serious challenge. His back broke out into cold sweats, âMr. Conrad, we canât oppress the trending news and there are many negative comments and we canât delete them all for the time being...â
There was still no change in Clarenceâs expression. He casually strolled the disclosures and said in a cold voice, âDo you find out the first discloser?â
âNot yet.â Nathan replied in a low voice, âHe used a fake identity and the IP address was in an internet bar. The surveillance cameras in the vicinity didnât get his face.â
Clarence said in a calm voice, âStella just divorced me half a year ago. But it seems like she has many enemies.â
Nathan, â...â
