Chapter 330: Chapter 330

Stella sat on the sofa, opened the food boxes one by one and ate directly without caring about Clarence.

Clarence sat next to her, “Aren’t these for me?”

Stella said deliberately, “Mr. Conrad is a picky eater so how will you like all these. You’re used to eating delicacies, how will you like these home-

cooked dishes.”

“Home-cooked dishes?” Clarence raised his eyebrows slightly, “You define yourself that way?”

Stella was speechless.

This wretched man was indeed the originator of behaving weirdly as he could even get the point upon hearing this.

Stella ignored him and continued to eat with her head down.

Clarence said, “Still jealous?”

“Who is jealous, I...”

“I know, you like to eat spicy food.” As he said, he added, “Spicier than all of them.”

A mouthful of rice was stuck in Stella’s throat. Her face reddened upon being choked.

Clarence patted her back and brought her a glass of water, “No one is eating yours, eat slowly.”

Stella glared at him as she took the water.

Clarence said, “I’m not deliberately hiding it from you. There are too many things going on so I didn’t have time to tell you, not to mention I only said a few words to her. Before you came, I didn’t even see her.”

After being informed by the receptionist saying that Aurora had arrived, Clarence went to the office downstairs.

Aurora had been sitting here alone all day without even having lunch and that was why she was so livid.

Stella drank water and said after calming down, “Mr. Conrad has a lot of good fortune in attracting women recently, how many times are there in total?”

“...” Clarence asked, “Who did you hear that from?”

“Do I need to hear from anyone, if you don’t want others to know, you shouldn’t do so. Why didn’t you tell me this morning?”

Clarence laughed and looked at her calmly, “You’re jealous about the incident about Phoebe until now. If I told you this, wouldn’t you take this to heart until you’re old.”

Stella’s cheeks burned upon hearing his words. Bah, he was a shameless wretched man!

After a moment of silence, Stella said, “Why do you suddenly have so many blind dates?”

Clarence and his father were already at loggerheads. Even the harmony on the surface had long collapsed, let alone how tempestuous the situation was behind the scenes.

Under such circumstances, it was too bizarre that Dempsey would suddenly cosy up to him.

It was absolutely impossible that he was unable to fall asleep at night so he suddenly realized his mistakes and decided to make it up to his son for the rest of his life.

Clarence used his long fingers to caress her strands of hair and said, “You want to hear the truth?”

“Did you take the initiative to ask for it?”

Clarence was puzzled.

He said, “I can’t even cope with you, how will I make myself a glutton for punishment.”

Stella said, “Cope with?”

She sneered twice, “Then I really have to thank Mr. Conrad for finding the time to palter with me.”

Clarence laughed lightly and vibrated against her chest, “Look at how petty you are, you keep paying excessive attention to the wording.”

Stella was annoyed with him, “Are you going to say it or not? If not, I’m leaving.”

Clarence’s chin rested on her shoulder and he said slowly, “You know that Dempsey has always wanted to degrade me from the current position and in order to do this, he even wanted to have cooperation with the Jason family and the Steward family via marriages.”

Stella knew, of course. This also showed how the members of the Conrad family were afraid of him.

Clarence continued, “In the entire City N, the power of the Steward family can’t be underestimated. Even though it has encountered so many incidents, with its strong foundation, it’s still quite powerful.”

“But when the Steward family ran into problems at that time, you...didn’t Master Conrad immediately call off the marriage.”

“That is because he can’t take control of the Steward family alone and he knew that I’ve been looking for Charles’s weakness. He was afraid of running into troubles so he quickly denied any connection with the Steward family.”

Stella understood what he meant. Although Dempsey denied the connection with the Steward family, he would not wait there and see the Steward Group fall into the hands of Clarence.

In that case, the Conrad family would have no power to fight against Clarence in the future.

Stella asked, “So, he is now arranging these blind dates for you to divert your attention?”

“Yes, but also no.”

Stella did not understand.

Clarence’s thin lips curled and he gazed at her, “Do you hate him.”

Stella pursed her lips and did not say anything.

She hated Dempsey, Joanna, Annie and everyone other than Justin.

Clarence said again, “How do you think will he react when he finds out there is a 50% chance that you’re Charles’s biological daughter and you’re even in a relationship with me?”

Undoubtedly, he would do his best to make her and Clarence break up. He absolutely would not let Clarence and the Steward Group work together to deal with him.

So that was exactly how it was.

Stella pushed the food box in front of her to him, “Eat.”

Clarence said, “Not angry anymore?”

“I didn’t get angry.”

It was just that she did not want to care about him.

Clarence approached Stella and quickly kissed her side face when she was not paying attention.

Before Stella could react, the wretched man successfully took advantage of her.

After eating, Clarence glanced at the watch, “Do you need me to take you back?”

“No need,” Stella said, “Don’t you still have work, I can go back by myself. Besides, you’ve given me a car.”

Even though she did not say anything, Clarence also could know her situation in the Steward family.

He said, “What else do you need, I’ll give it to you together.”

“There is nothing needed,” Stella added, “By the way, Mr. Thomas also went to the Steward family this morning. For his sake, Charles shouldn’t be making things too difficult for me.”

Clarence raised his eyebrows, “He went there?”

Stella nodded, “It’s quite coincidental as not only did Mr. Thomas go, but Mr. William also went there. Was he the one who got the project that the Steward Group called for tenders a few days ago?”

“Yes.”

“Does he know about those underhand matters done by the Steward Group?”

“Why?”

Stella heaved a sigh of relief, “Nothing, I just think he is quite a nice person and he doesn’t know many people in City N, what if he is being cheated by Charles...”

Clarence said, “Don’t worry, he is a businessman. He will investigate the background of the Steward Group before having cooperation with it, not to mention that he surely knows about something since the news not long ago were widely spread in that way.”

Hearing this, Stella was relieved.

She looked at the sky outside, “It’s late, I should leave now.”

Clarence held her wrist, “I’ll walk you downstairs.”

The wretched man was so clingy.

At this time, it was drizzling outside. Although it was not a heavy downpour, it was quite cold as there was a cold wind.

Stella opened the car door. When she was about to turn around and ask him to go back, there was sudden darkness in front of her eyes. Clarence’s thin lips fell on hers and his broad palm was clasping the back of her head. He kissed her passionately.

Stella was dumbfounded.

Just when she was about to suffocate, Clarence finally let go of her and gently fixed her wind-blown hair, “Give me a call when you arrive.”
