Emmett smiled and get another glass of wine for her, âThose people only focus on the interests and value from the marriage for convenience. Hence itâs not important whether she has engaged to Clarence Conrad before. Besides...â
It was because Clarence had canceled the engagement with Phoebe, Charles and Dempsey could cooperate.
Stella pressed her lips and didnât speak.
No wonder Phoebe was so hostile to her recently when they met. It turned out to be because of that.
Phoebe had been planning to marry Clarence, but in the end, she had to engage with Justin. Last time, she also saw Clarence and Stella having dinner together. That was why she wanted to vent her anger on Stella.
Stella paused a bit and asked, frowning, âWhat about Daniel and her?â
Emmett raised his head and gulped down the champagne and turned to look in a short distance, âPlease donât worry for him. He has ways to resolve it.â
Stella followed his gaze, only to find Daniel also had come. He was talking to Cameron now.
Emmett was close to Cameron and Daniel was his friend. It was not surprising that Daniel and Cameron were also close.
However, Stella didnât understand, wondering what kind of ways Daniel had to resolve the problem.
The engagement between Phoebe and Justin was a combination of interests from the Conrad and Steward families. She wondered if Phoebeâs father would change his mind just because of Danielâs reasons.
The only reason to cancel the engagement would be one party had a better choice.
Right then, a waiter walked to Emmett and whispered to him. Emmett frowned slightly. Then he said to Stella, âStella, please wait for me here for a moment. Iâll be right back.â
Stella slightly nodded in agreement, âOkay.â
Before leaving, Emmett looked around. After ensuring that Clarence wasnât around, he strode away with the waiter.
Stella held the champagne flute and took a sip. When she was about to look over at Daniel and Mr. Thomas again, she found they had disappeared in her sight.
Suddenly, she heard a manâs indifferent voice behind her, âAre you looking for me?â
Stella kept quiet.
She slowly put down the flute. She didnât want to look back at all.
The next second, she felt the manâs warm breath on her fair neck and he whispered in her ear, âAre you looking for Emmett Carter, then? Stop it. I donât think he would be back shortly.â
Upon hearing it, Stella couldnât help but frown. When she turned around and wanted to say something, she found the wretched manâs face was way too close to her. Her lips brushed through his cheek, leaving a slight lipstick trace.
Clarence looked into her eyes, raising his brows, âWeâre in public. Itâs not appropriate. After we got home, you can do whatever you want. I wonât resist.â
Stella choked up.
She wondered if he was in his right state of mind.
She took a step back and said crossly, âMr. Conrad, you know weâre in public. Arenât you afraid that others would watch the fun?â
Clarence said calmly, âThey have eyes, and I canât cover all of them, can I?â
Stella wasnât in the mood to talk nonsense with him. When she was about to leave, her wrist was grabbed, âWhere are you going?â
âThe ladiesâ. Mr. Conrad, would you like to go as well?â
âSince you are begging me, I can accompany you to go there.â
If it werenât that there were too many people, Stella wanted to teach him a lesson.
Shaking off his hands, she walked forward. After taking a few steps, she heard the wretched manâs voice, âWrong direction. Itâs that way.â
Stella suddenly stopped. After inhaling deeply, she walked towards the direction mentioned by Clarence.
She wondered what was wrong with the wretched man. He followed her to the ladies.
After going out of the banquet hall, Stella saw the sign of the restroom and also heard someone whispering. Right then, the man who had been following her suddenly wrapped around her waist, dragging her to the corner nearby.
Before Stella utter any sound, her mouth was covered gently.
Right then, the people who were talking were passing them by.
It turned out to be Daniel and Phoebe.
After they had gone far, Stella pulled down Clarenceâs hand, âMr. Conrad, what guilty things have you done? Why do you need to hide from them?â
Clarence withdrew his hands and put them in the trouser pockets, âDo you want to say hi to her then?â
Stella slightly snorted. Ignoring him, she walked into the ladiesâ.
When she came out, Clarence was smoking while leaning against the balcony. He looked quite calm.
Seeing her out, Clarence put out the cigarette butt and tilted his head, âLetâs go.â
After a few seconds, Stella couldnât hold back any longer. She asked, âWhat kind of excuse did you use to send Emmett away?â
âDo you truly want to know it?â
âForget it.â
Without thinking, she knew the wretched man wouldnât give her a proper answer at all.
When they approached the entrance of the banquet hall, they encountered William who was about to leave.
The latter greeted them with a smile, âHi, Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil.â
Clarence asked indifferently, âThe banquet has just begun. Mr. William, are you leaving now?â
William answered, âYes, I have something to deal with. I need to go now.â
âThe show tonight hasnât started yet. Mr. William, what a pity if youâre leaving so soon.â
Although Clarence was quite aggressive, William kept smiling politely, âMr. Conrad, I donât quite understand what you meant.â
He had known that Clarence was looking into him and he was alert on everything. Unexpectedly, he still let Clarence get some flaws.
William continued, âMr. Conrad, if thereâs nothing else, please excuse me.â

Stella looked over at Clarence, wondering what the wretched man was mocking at.
Clarence met her gaze. He bent her finger and knocked on her forehead, âWhat are you thinking about?â
Stella curled her lips and withdrew her gaze, walking into the banquet hall.
Since she had given Cameron the gift, she wanted to leave now, so she decided to tell him before taking off.
When she found Cameron, he was talking to Charles, Phoebe, and Daniel face to face.
After a hesitation, Stella walked over and said, âExcuse me, Mr. Thomas. Iâve gotta go now. Happy birthday to you.â
Cameron looked back, âSo soon? Where is Emmett?â
As soon as he finished asking, he saw Clarence who followed Stella to come over.
Instantly, he understood something.
The young man was truly capable.
Right then, Phoebe smiled and said, âMs. Radomil, you came to Mr. Thomasâs birthday banquet not only with Mr. Carter but also with Clarence. Youâll make others envious.â
Stella smiled without speaking. She said to Cameron, âMr. Thomas, Iâm taking off now.â
After that, she turned around to leave.
However, after she took a few steps, Phoebeâs voice rang out behind her, âWait, Ms. Radomil.â
