Vincent took steps back to protect himself. In a hurry, he said, âDonât panic, Clarence. I just stated an objective fact. Just think what youâve done to her before. If you were her, would you just let it go so easily?â
âDidnât I treat her nicely?â
âDid you treat her well?â
Upon hearing Vincentâs question, Clarence withdrew his gaze. He gulped down two glasses of wine and said in a low voice, âShe lied to me first.
Otherwise, I wouldnât have done those things to her.â
Vincent said, âClarence, until now, based on how much you know about Stella, do you still think she has lied to you in the past? Do you still believed that she has married into the Conrad family with the excuse of her fake pregnancy?â
Listening to him, Clarence couldnât help tightening his pinch on the wine glass. He creased his brows a slight.
âStella is smart, pretty, and talented. She has a lot of advantages. Even if she hasnât married you, a lot of outstanding men would be after her. You like her also because you are attracted when getting along with her. However, if she were truly that kind of woman who uses every possible means to achieve her goals such as using the fake pregnancy as an excuse, would she still be a charming woman?â
Clarenceâs chin was tightened. The idea that he had ignored always was enlightened by Vincent. Suddenly, Clarence had an awful thought.
Since they got married, Stella only asked him for money a few times.
Each time, she didnât ask for much and she also wrote him the IOU notes.
She borrowed the money all because of Jeffrey.
Besides, she didnât use the position of Mrs. Conrad to gain any benefits.
After divorcing him, even if the rumors said that she was a mistress, she never explained and said that Clarence was her ex-husband.
Vincent raised his goblet and shook, âAnyway, you should look into the matter that happened three years ago.â
Clarence stood up and strode away with an annoyed look.
Vincent turned around, âWait. Wait. Are you done with drinking?â
Out of Twilight Club, Clarence said to Nathan, âGo investigate what happened during my business trip in London three years ago.â
At that time, he felt quite annoyed as soon as seeing Stellaâs face. He stayed in London for two months with the excuse of being on a business trip.
On the evening back, when seeing Stellaâs flat belly, Clarence sneered and mocked her. Without asking her anything, he directly confirmed that her pregnancy was fake.
Nathan followed him. After a thought, he said, âMr. Conrad, during that time, Miss Conrad suddenly went abroad. Shall I also look into this matter as well?â
Clarence paused his pace, frowning deeply, âYou meant Annie?â
Nathan nodded, âMiss Conrad went abroad quite suddenly. I heard that she also canceled a very important party. However, it was all arranged by Mrs. Joannaâs men. Iâll look into the matter in detail later.â
Clarence withdrew his gaze. He bent over and sat in the black Rolls-Royce on the roadside.
The driver asked, âMr. Conrad, shall we go back to Starry Lake Mansion?â
After a few seconds, Clarence answered expressionlessly, âNo. Go to another place.â
...
When Stella was sorting out things in the lobby, she heard fast and hurried footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, her wrist was grabbed. The person dragged her to stride forward without any stop in a one-go.
The two girls and Sherry in the studio gaped.
The two girls asked in shock, âWell... shall we call the police?â
Sherry returned to her senses and put on a wry smile, âProbably not necessary. Letâs wait and see how it goes.â
As she spoke, she approached the office inside, aiming to eavesdrop on what was going on.
She wondered what was wrong with Clarence the wretched man again.
In the office, Stella shook several times but shake off Clarenceâs grip on her. For a moment, she was irritated and angry, âWhat is wrong with you again? Let go of me!â
As she spoke, she turned around and wanted to open the door of the office.
However, when the door was opened with a crack, the door was pressed to close.
Clarence supported on hand on the door and gazed at her with his black eyes, âStella, I want to ask you a question. Answer me seriously.â
Stella laughed in anger, âMr. Conrad, do you look like that youâre going to have a serious conversation with me?â
âYour attitude to me recently is quite bad. If I didnât do so, would you be willing to talk to me?â
Stella didnât answer.
It turned out that wretched man truly had some clear self-estimation.
Stella tentatively struggled and found that she couldnât be comparable to him in terms of strength. She said, âMr. Conrad, go ahead.â
Heâd better get out after asking the question.
Seeing that she had given up struggling, Clarence loosened his grip on her a bit. In a low voice, he asked, âWhat exactly happened to you three years ago so you had a miscarriage?â
Stella had never expected that he would ask her such a question. She was startled and standing motionlessly for a long time.
Clarence didnât urge her. He just waited in silence.
After a while, Stella grinned. She raised her head and looked at him, âMr. Conrad, havenât you always accused me of the fake pregnancy before?
Since youâve confirmed, why are you asking me about it now?â
Clarence pressed his thin lips slightly, âTell me first.â
âMr. Conrad, if you asked me such a question three months ago, I might give you an answer that you never expect. However, now...â She paused, laughing more ironically, âI donât want to answer. Because I donât think you deserve to know it.â
Clarenceâs handsome face was tightened. She didnât say it was not necessary to answer but he didnât deserve to know.
Stella continued in an indifferent tone, âWhy? Mr. Conrad, did I say something wrong? For a man like you who doesnât respect life and could treat your own child so ruthless, what answer do you expect from me? What if I answered your question? Would the baby be back to life?â
Clarence asked, âWhy didnât you explain it to me?â
âExplain?â Stella was amused, âMr. Conrad, didnât you already confirm what kind of person I am? If I explained, would you listen? Is it useful? I would have humiliated myself instead.â

He even thought that she was playing tricks to deceive him again.
Clarence didnât deny it. His Adamâs apple kept bobbing. After a long while, he slowly released her, âIt could be my fault.â
âCould be...â The words were reechoed in Stellaâs mind.
The wretched man was always arrogant and conceited.
Stella said, âNo, Mr. Conrad. How could it be your fault? Youâve never made any mistake. You are always right...â
Clarence didnât want to continue listening, âShut up.â
âOkay.â
Stella straightened up the sleeve that was creased by his grip, âMr. Conrad, have you done asking questions? If so, Iâll go out.â
When she wanted to turn around, she heard Clarenceâs voice again, âHorace Jason has gone to Switzerland.â
