After taking Stella into the CEOâs office, Nathan said, âMs. Radomil, Mr. Conrad is in a meeting now. Please wait a moment.â
Stella nodded gently, âThank you, Nathan.â
Then Nathan poured her a glass of warm water and gave her a kindly reminder, âMs. Radomil, Mr. Conrad is in a meeting for the board of directors, so his father attended it as well. Probably they would have some conflicts. If he lost his temper on you later, please donât take it to heart...â
âItâs alright. Even if he would find a rope and strangle me, I wouldnât take it seriously.â
Nathan was speechless.
Subconsciously, he felt his neck tickled. Immediately, he walked out of the office.
The meeting that Clarence was in was far longer than Stella had imagined. In the previous evening during Joannaâs birthday banquet, Dempsey announced the marriage between Horace and Annie.
After Conrad Group and Jason Group had this official marriage for convenience, Dempsey couldnât wait to change the structure within Conrad Group, taking the power away from Clarenceâs hands gradually.
Stella had been waiting in Clarenceâs office from the morning until it was getting dark. She felt so starved while waiting. She wanted to go downstairs and grab something to eat, but she recalled the rule that was set particularly for the designer from SG. If she hadnât called Nathan directly, she would still be stopped downstairs.
Fortunately, Nathan kept an eye on her. He didnât only deliver lunch to her but also provided her with the high-tea.
Stella even wondered if she came here for negotiating with Clarence.
After finishing the last piece of the small cake, she cleaned up the junk from the desk. Then she sat back on the sofa.
She felt not bad - at least she would feel more confident with a full tummy instead of being starved.
However, as soon as she was full, she felt sleepy.
When Clarence went back to his office, he saw her lying prone on the sofa, sleeping soundly. The food packages were tossed in the garbage bin next to the sofa. He felt amused and angry.
Sitting opposite her, he loosened his necktie. His gaze fell on the belly that was covered under her loosened dress, his eyes deepened.
Stella hadnât fallen asleep last night at all. After the high-tea, she couldnât help sleeping as if she was sleeping in her own apartment. Dizzily, she turned around and felt that all most her upper body was suspended in midair. She suddenly opened her eyes, only to find a man standing in front o her. After being in a daze for a few minutes, she finally recalled where she was now.
Clarence sat back on the sofa. He asked in an indifferent tone, âHad enough sleep?â
Stella immediately rubbed her temples, adjusted her posture, and sat upright, âHello, Mr. Conrad.â
âIt hasnât been three days yet. Are you sure youâve made up your mind?â
Stella pressed her lips, âThings have come to this end. No matter how long I would consider it, it would end up in this way. Mr. Conrad, you wonât give me another option either.â
As she spoke, she pressed the Kraft paper bag in front of Clarence, âI wonât take the things that donât belong to me. Besides, even if Iâve signed on it, you still have a lot of ways to let this contract be void, Mr. Conrad.â
Clarence didnât retort. He said with a sneer, âYouâre always smart when you are supposed to be. I never disappoint.â
Although he had given half of the property in his name to Stella according to this agreement, it was actually just like the relationship between a primary and a second bank card. She has the right to access and use, but she wouldnât have the right to make a final decision.
Without his permission, she wouldnât be able to touch anything.
Stella ignored the sarcasm in his words. She continued, âI have two conditions. Mr. Conrad, if you could agree, Iâll also agree to your requirements.â
âGo ahead.â
âFirst, write off the debt I owe you. From now on, I donât owe you anything.â
Clarence stared at her with his black eyes. After a few seconds, he answered in a cold tone, âOkay.â
Clenching her hands tightly, Stella continued, âSecondly... Mr. Conrad, I hope you could help me resolve my brotherâs matter. I know you must have some ways.â
Clarence withdrew his gaze on her. With an expressionless face, he asked, âWhy do you think Iâm willing to offend others for you?â
âMr. Conrad, youâll do it not for me but yourself.â
âEhn?â
âMr. Conrad, you should know it quite clear that if I go to your parents directly now, they would give me everything I ask for.â
Clarenceâs eyes focused on her, in which the fury surged.
Stella felt that the temperature in the office abruptly dropped. She couldnât help but shiver.
However, she didnât withdraw her words. In this negotiation, if she showed her weakness, she would fail miserably, and in that case, she couldnât save anything.
After a long while, Clarence laughed out, âStella Radomil, good job.â
Although he was laughing, his eyes full of arctic ice cold.
Stella said calmly, âThose are the only two conditions I have. I believe itâs extremely simple for you, Mr. Conrad.â
âI promise you.â
Stella felt that the rock pressed in her heart finally dropped. She lowered her eyes slowly, âMr. Conrad, when do you want...â
Clarence answered in a flat tone, âTomorrow.â
Stella probably hadnât expected that it would happen so fast. She was choked up and couldnât utter a word for a moment.
Clarence stared at her coldly, âWhy? Do you want to break your promise?â
âNope.â Stella shook her head slightly, âMr. Conrad, thanks for giving me a night to get prepared.â
âIâm quite busy.â
Stella stood up, âOkay. Please allow me to take off. I wonât be holding you up so long, Mr. Conrad.â
After she took a few steps forward, she heard Clarenceâs voice from her back, âWhat else do you like to speak?â
She paused her pace and smiled faintly, âI do have a lot of words to speak, but Mr. Conrad, you might not be willing to listen to me.â
Clarence knocked on the sofa with his slender fingers. He said steadily, âI can give you such a chance now.â
âMr. Conrad, since you want to listen to me, Iâll speak directly.â Stella continued, âI do want to speak a lot of words to you, but they only mean one thing, which is the best regards that I wish for you. In short, may you be the last of your family line!â

After finishing her words, Stella left the office without looking back.
The biggest reason was that she was afraid the wretched man would toss her downstairs in anger.
After walking out of the Conrad Group, Stella finally felt that she had vented her anger.
When she was about to hail a cab, her way was blocked.
Stella looked up at the man and her eye pupils shrank. She took a few steps back.
With a bandaged head, Jeffrey smiled weirdly, looking quite hilarious and creepy. He said, âMy good daughter, I know I can catch you when waiting here.â
âYou...â
When Stella was about to speak, she felt someone covered her nose and mouth from her back. Before she could call for help, she was dragged into the van parked next to them.
Obviously, Jeffrey was well-prepared this time.
In the van, Stellaâs hands were tied up together. She looked at Jeffrey coldly, âWhat do you want?â
Jeffrey answered, âStella, donât worry. Iâm your father. How can I hurt you? Since youâve divorced, itâs my duty to find you another husband.â
Stella felt a chill rising along her spines. She asked in disbelief, âDo you know what on earth you are doing now?â
âDonât overreact. If it werenât me in the past, would you be able to marry into the Conrad family? Iâm doing it for your own good.â
