Chapter 377: Chapter 377

As time passed by, Stella finally started writing after about forty minutes.

The nervous people watching outside heaved a sigh of relief in unison.

Clarence sat in his seat with his legs crossed, watching this scene silently.

Stella wasn’t designing something new in the room but instead drawing a piece that she had done before.

That time, the necklace that she had sent to the charity dinner held by the Jason family had disappeared. And she didn’t know where it had gone till now.

Moreover, there was no topic for this competition.

From the competition rules at the beginning, to the progression later, and now to the final round, it had revealed a message overall. That was to break the boundaries and not just stick to any subject. The courage to innovate was the key.

So, what it meant was that no matter what the contestants turned in, it was all in line with the title.

Furthermore, that pocket watch necklace had never been shown in any public place other than to Stanford.

If anyone questioned her, it would mean that the stolen necklace was in that person’s hand.

However, Stella had still altered some of the intricate details that were hard to notice the difference other than herself.

The three hours were soon up, and Stella stopped drawing, letting out a breath.

After the staff had taken away their work, Stella and the girls left the room separately.

The judges who had been sitting in their seats also got up and went into the meeting room.

Before Aurora left, she gave Stella a look and hummed as if to say wait and see.

On the other hand, Phoebe behaved much more calmly, maintaining her condescending image.

When Stella was about to go to Clarence, she found him sitting in the press area while the original reporters had all gathered and stood in the corner, looking around and doing their best to lower their presence.

Stella was puzzled.

Clarence walked over to her, “What are you looking at?”

“Why are they...”

Clarence didn’t even turn his head as he said slowly, “Maybe they’re uncomfortable after siting for a long time.”

After a pause, he grabbed Stella’s hand, “Leave them alone. Let’s go to eat.”

After spending a long time inside, Stella was indeed hungry and said, “The contest isn’t over yet.”

Clarence said, “It will take an hour for the results to come out. There’s no point just sitting here and wait.”

That was also true.

“Let’s go then.”

It caused an uproar at the scene for them to leave like that.

And it seemed that they were confident in this match.

However, Stella didn’t feel much confident. She just thought that there was nothing else she could do since the work had already been handed in. So, instead of staying here to wait for the result, it would be better to have a meal and return later.

As she ate, Stella asked, “How was Chan doing at you place over the past two days?”

Clarence filled her cup with water, “Well, he’s fine and doing good.”

“I mean how was his injury...”

“It’s not like he had hurt his bone and joints, not to mention that it was someone else who got beaten up and not him. He had recovered long ago.”

Speaking of this, Stella frowned, “Still no news from Adolph?”

Clarence said, “If he was that easy to find, would he still be alive until now?”

Stella was silent and didn’t deny this.

Clarence added, “I’ve told you not to worry about these things. I’ll take care of it.”

“But you’re in a mess yourself.”

“What’s messy about me?”

“Hasn’t the Conrad family made another move recently?”

Otherwise, Clarence wouldn’t be so busy.

Hearing this, he just smiled, “Nothing new. I’m used to it.”

It was just a matter of holding a board meeting and making some unreasonable demands.

Seeing that Clarence was speaking light-heartedly, Stella was clear that this wouldn’t be simple to deal with it.

After a while, she added, “Ms. Anderson...”

Clarence looked at her, “What’s the matter?”

Stella looked away, “Nothing. I was just asking that when we are done with this period, can we go see her?”

“Sure.”

Stella was just testing, but she didn’t expect him to agree so quickly. So she was lost for words for a while. After a bit of silence, she got back to the topic, “What was Chan doing the past two days? Had he been staying and not going out?”

Clarence said, “Leaving early and coming back late.”

Stella was puzzled.

Stella wondered, “What has he been doing?”

“It’s fine as long as it’s not something harmful.”

Hearing his words, Stella knew that her worries were superfluous.

After the lesson learned last time, Chan probably would not act rashly again with Clarence by his side.

They finished their meal very quick, and when they returned, there were still fifteen minutes before the results were announced.

As soon as Stella sat down, the reporters wanted to come over for an interview.

Many people had placed their bets on Stella and Modesty as to who would win this time. Moreover, she had such a significant backing. Even if nobody said anything about it, they all felt that the organizers would more or less show respect to Clarence.

So, the winner would most likely be Stella.

And that was why they all came to interview her first.

Stella smiled faintly and responded politely, “Let’s wait until the competition is over.”

If the champion wasn’t her, it would be awkward for her to accept this interview now.

The reporters left with regret seeing her refusal.

Clarence asked her in a low voice, “Having no confidence?”

“I just think it’s better to be more modest.” Stella said slowly, “What’s more, it’s not my fault to lose this match too. I’m just taking a bullet for you.”

Clarence was puzzled.

Stella said, “I’ve heard that the rich and powerful are all very close to each other, especially those celebrity girls who usually like having afternoon tea and skin care those, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, do you think that the two women that you have offended will woo other ladies to target me together?”

Clarence pursed his lips slightly for a while before saying, “There’s one that you have offended.”

Stella hummed.

What a wretched man.

Clarence held her hand and said generously, “It’s okay if you lose the competition. I’ll take care of you forever.”

Stella ignored him and took out her phone to reply to Sherry’s message a few minutes ago.

No matter she won or lost in the end, she had put in all her effort.

So it was agreed before that once today’s competition was over, everyone from the studio would go to dinner together.
