On the other side...
After leaving the venue of the bidding, Phoebe immediately came to find Daniel.
She asked in a cold voice, âDo you know that Stella would come to the bidding today?â
Daniel raised his brows when he heard the words, âI donât know. Why do you suddenly ask this?â
âIt seems like that you have a good relationship with her. I think that she would tell you in advance.â
Daniel smiled, âYouâre wrong. I and Ms. Radomil are just neighbors. Except for greeting her when bumping into her in the community, we have no other contacts. Oh, exactly itâs not true either. After all, sheâs the one that Emmett likes, therefore itâs inevitable for us to have other contacts.â
Daniel continued, âBut no matter what, weâre just a bit more familiar than normal neighbors. So how will she tell me about this?â
Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Phoebe took a deep breath and didnât reply.
Daniel secretly studied her expression and asked in a casual tone, âI went out to deal with something just now. I simply heard that Ms. Radomil came to find Mr. Steward, but Iâm not clear of the details. What happened?â
âNever mind.â Phoebe knitted her brows and said impatiently, âI donât want to talk about this. As for you, can you tell me now?â
Daniel chuckled, âOf course I can tell you if you really want to know it.â
âSpill the beans.â
Daniel leaned against the counter behind him and gently clicked it, âActually itâs not a big deal. Itâs almost like what your father has told you.â
Phoebe had been suppressing her anger that was arouse because Stella would move into the Steward family, but now she didnât deliberately control her tempter and said in a stern voice, âI donât want to hear the things that I have learned. I want to know the things that I donât know.â
Daniel took out a photo and put it in front of Phoebe. He said slowly, âThe man on the photo is Lyndon Steward, your fatherâs brother.â
âThen?â
âHe coveted everything your father had and became resentful. He kidnapped you and your mother twenty years ago and planned an explosion.â
Phoebe became more and more impatient, âI know all these. Can you talk about...â
Daniel chuckled, âYou only know the most surface thing.â
Phoebe was a bit stunned, âWhat do you mean?â
Daniel didnât answer her question and continued, âEveryone thought that Lyndon wad hosted by his own petard and died in the explosion. This was what he deserved. But no one knows that heâs still alive.â
âYou...â
Phoebe paused as she suddenly realized something.
She paused and then asked, âWhereâs Lyndon now? Did he instigate Stella to move into the Steward family?â
Daniel replied, âI donât know whether he has instigated Stella or now. But have you thought of this, since your father looks similar o Lyndon, who was the one that survived in the explosion?â
Phoebe abruptly looked towards Daniel, âWhat do you mean?â
âNothing. Itâs just my assumption, so of course you donât need to believe it. After all, I have no evidence to support my assumption. I can investigate it if you need me to do so.â
Phoebe sneered, âNo need. I already know it.â
Stella was definitely Lyndonâs daughter. It was good that she came back now. Since Lyndon didnât die in the explosion, all of them would be screwed if they brought up the past again.
She would let Clarence know that regretting the engagement with her would be the stupidest decision he made in his life.
Only she could help him.
Watching Phoebe leaving, Daniel gradually pulled a long face.

In the Conrad Group...
In the CEOâs office, Dempsey asked the assistant impatiently, âWhen will it end?â
The assistant wiped the sweats on his face, âA... Almost.â
Dempsey banged his walking stick, âI have been waiting for him for two hours. Does he have any respect to me?â
The assistant didnât dare to reply and even didnât dare to breathe heavily.
Dempsey said, âGo to find him. Tell him to come back right away.â
âBut... Mr. Conrad never allows others to bother him when heâs having a meeting...â
Dempsey said angrily, âBother him? Hmm, he deliberately leaves me here. He really becomes more and more unruly. Doesnât he know that he gets the current status because of me? If I had known that heâs so overweening, I shouldnât have...â
Before he could finish his words, a calm voice sounded from the door, âWhat shouldnât you do?â
Dempsey took a deep breath, yet he didnât continue his words.
The assistant slightly nodded his head at Clarence, âMr. Conrad.â
Clarence waved his hand at her, gesturing him to leave the office.
Seeing this, Dempseyâs subordinate also slightly bowed to Clarence and then left the office.
When the door of the office was closed, Clarence sat opposite to Dempsey, crossed his long legs, and said without showing any respect to him, âSpill the beans.â
Dempsey looked displeased, âClarence, although I didnât discipline you during this period, Iâm still your father after all. Shouldnât you mind your attitude towards me?â
Clarence curled his lips into a cold and sarcastic smile, âI suggest you to come straight to the point. In this way, it will reduce the unnecessary communication between us and will effectively advance the progress. Of course, if youâre just here to correct my attitude, I have to say sorry to you because itâs inherent.â
Dempseyâs face became gloomier when he heard the words and thought that Clarence was really an unfilial son.
After a short while of silence, he still decided to go straight to the point, âYour brother has cancelled the engagement with the Steward family. I guess you must have learned about it, right?â
Clarence didnât reply, waiting for his following words.
âOur family cancels the engagements with the Steward family twice, so the Steward family must hate us very much. I think youâre clearer of this.â

He hadnât expected that the most anxious one after learning that Stella would come back to the Steward family was not Charles, but his father.
Dempsey directly ignored is impoliteness and said, âAnnieâs matter has been a past. As she was the one who was wrong first, I will not probe into the matter. But Clarence, you have to reconsider your marriage.â
âMarriage? To marry who?â
âI selected several girls who have matching family backgrounds with you. I will arrange you to meet them several days later.â
Clarence said slowly, âGirls who have matching family backgrounds to mine. Are they illegitimate daughters?â
Dempsey knitted his brows tightly, âWhat nonsense are you talking? Theyâre all the ladies of prestigious and noble families. You...â
âOh, then I have to say that Iâm not a good match for them.â
