Hence, if Stella wanted them to believe that Joanna was her ex-husbandâs mother, her coworkers would rather believe that it was the official wife who came to teach Stella, the mistress, a lesson.
Stella parted her lips, thinking that it would be useless for her to explain. Then she decided to just let it be.
She couldnât stop Clarence from talking, let alone hundreds of her coworkers.
After leaving SG Jewelry, Stella went to Conrad Group directly. She wanted to pass the envelope to Clarence. No matter what a farce their Conrad family would like to make, she didnât want to get involved at all.
When Stella arrived, she found that the receptionists in Conrad Group were changed. After she filled in the registration form, one receptionist said, âExcuse me, Maâam. A few days ago, Mr. Conrad said he wouldnât meet any designer from SG Jewelry Magazine.â
Stella realized that the wretched man was getting more and more short-tempered.
She pressed her lips and took out the envelope. âCould you please pass this to him for me?â
The receptionist said, âIâm sorry. I canât take any gift for Mr. Conrad.â
âThis isnât a gift. Itâs...â
âIâm sorry, Maâam. Itâs our company rule. I can do nothing.â
Stella could only put the envelope back into her bag. âOkay. Thank you all the same.â
She could only leave with such trouble.
...
In the CEOâs office of the Conrad Group...
Nathan knocked at the door and walked in. âExcuse me, Mr. Conrad. Iâve prepared the birthday gift for Mrs. Joanna Conrad. Would you like to take a look, please?â
Without raising his head, Clarence answered, âNo.â
âOkay,â Nathan answered.
He didnât leave right away. Instead, he stood at the spot and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Clarence looked up at him slightly. âWhat else?â
âThe security found a sneaking man on the second floor...â
Clarence looked at him with a cold face, as if he was asking why Nathan would be useful if he had to deal with such a trifle himself.
Nathan coughed and continued, âItâs Mrs. Conradâs father.â
Clarenceâs expression didnât change. His tone became cold. âDonât you know Iâm divorced?â
Nathan suddenly felt the cold sweat ooze on his back, wondering what Clarence was thinking about. Immediately, he changed, âYes... Itâs Ms.
Radomilâs father. He wants to see you.â
âWhat does her father have anything do with me? After catching someone suspicious, you should take him to the police station. Should I teach you such a simple lesson?â
âYes, Mr. Conrad. Iâll do it right away.â
After leaving the CEOâs office, Nathan felt as if he had got in and out of Hell and managed to survive.
He wondered what Stella had done to offend Mr. Conrad, who seemed to be so angry.
In the office, Clarence put down the pen in his hand, rubbing his temples.
Shortly, his phone rang. He swiped to answer and heard Vincentâs voice. âDude, come out for a drink?â
âWhere?â
âTwilight Club.â
...
When Clarence arrived at the box, a group of men was opening a bottle of champagne for celebrating. He sat on the sofa with his long legs across.
He asked casually, âWhatâs up?â
Vincent raised his flute. âI donât know either. It seems that the useless son of the Lewis family is going to college soon. His father has invited a lot of people to celebrate it for him.â
âCelebrate for what? To celebrate his last-place in every exam?â
As they talked, Antonio saw Clarence and came over with a flute in hand. With a bright smile, he said, âMr. Conrad, I didnât expect that you would come here. Itâs a great honor. Come on. Letâs have a toast.â
As he spoke, he raised his head and gulped down the champagne.
Right then, someone came over and put his arm around Antonioâs shoulder. âHey, Antonio, I heard that your son is going to University A. Heâs awesome!â
The Lewis family was nouveau riche, and none of their family members was well-educated. They were always mocked by the upper-class. However, Antonio only had one son. No matter how bad his exam results were, they couldnât do anything. They couldnât send him back to his motherâs belly and let him be born again, could they?
However, when everyone looked down on them, Antonio suddenly declared that his son had got admission to enter the nationwide number one university. He also invited so many people to celebrate it with him.
Vincentâs company cooperated with Antonioâs in business, so he received the invitation. He didnât want to come here alone to listen to others flatters, so he asked Clarence over.
Antonio answered modestly, âMy boy looks playful all the time, but he didnât disappoint me this time. Finally, he didnât disgrace our family.â
âIt seems your son truly amazed the world with a single brilliant feat.â
âYouâre flattering me. Fortunately, I always keep an eye on him and educate him myself. Otherwise, how could he get such a high mark?â
While they were flattering each other, Clarence cast a cold glance at Vincent. The latter looked away quickly.
With impatience written all over his face, Clarence stood up and was about to leave. He heard the two menâs conversation continuing, âSince your son is going to UNIVERSITY A, he must have got a high mark.â
Antonio smiled deeply. âJust so so. It seems he got over seven hundred forty points, almost the full marks. Itâs so unfortunate that he hasnât got the full mark. He didnât work hard enough.â
âOver seven hundred forty? Thatâs a brilliant score. I heard the student ranked in the first place in our province also got that mark. Is it your son actually?â
Clarence, who had already reached the door of the box, turned around and looked at them.

Come on. Letâs keep on drinking.â
Vincent walked up. âWhatâs wrong?â
Clarence said in a flat tone, âDo you think his son can enter a college with his exam results?â
âNot mention the college, Antonio put his son into the high school after he had donated several buildings.â
âThen how could he enter UNIVERSITY A?â
Vincent couldnât find his tongue. âWell...â
Clarence frowned and said in a cold tone, âFind me the manager here.â
After five minutes, the manager pushed open the door of another box. He asked gingerly, âGood evening, Mr. Conrad and Mr. James. What can I do for you?â
Clarence looked up at him. âWhy did Channing Radomil ask you for help a few days ago?â
âMr. Conrad, youâve asked me that evening. Chan needed some money...â
âHas he got the money?â
The manager answered after a long while, âYes, he has.â
Clarence looked colder. âWho gave it to him?â
The manager felt his legs weakened. For a moment, he couldnât find his tongue.
Channing came to ask him for help because he wanted to sell his university admission letter. Although it was illegal, a lot of rich families were willing to do this kind of trade. After they got the admission letter, the rich had their own ways to resolve the consequential problems.
