Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Stella opened the door and found Annie standing outside of her bedroom. She asked in a calm voice,

“What’s the matter?”

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Annie looked extremely arrogant and contemptuous, “It’s

such big trouble. But seems like it doesn’t affect you at all and you’re still living happily.”

Annie was so aggressive and it was obviously she was all the way here to go hard on her.

But Stella didn’t want to quarrel with her under such a circumstance. She simply asked, “What do you

want to say?”

“I don’t want to say anything.” Annie said sarcastically, “Aren’t you clear that ever since you came to the

Conrad family, bad things happen one after the other? How can you live in my house at ease?”

Stella retorted, “If you can persuade Dempsey, I can leave right away.”

Stella said this to protect herself.

She had been living in the house for one more week and nothing had happened during this time. But

Annie chose to trouble her now; apparently she wanted to take this opportunity to vent her anger on

her.

Stella mentioned Dempsey to remind Annie and oppress her aggressiveness at the same time.

As expected, there was a slight change in Annie’s expression. But it returned to normal soon. Annie

sneered, “Don’t think that I will be scared when you mentioned Uncle Dempsey. He just wants to use

the child in your belly to control my cousin… oh no, control Clarence. As for your life, he doesn’t give a

shit to it.”

Stella curled her lips into a light smile, “Yep, no one will care about my life. So Annie, are you going to

gamble with your life to go hard on me now? Or to hurt me without scruples after I deliver the child?”

A touch of hatred flashed across Annie’s eyes when she heard the words, “Stella, do you think that the

bastard child in your belly can be delivered?”

The smile on Stella’s face gradually disappeared. She looked at her coldly.

Annie was satisfied with her reaction. She said nonchalantly, “You also know that the child in your belly

is only a puppet and it’s not irreplaceable. Since Uncle Dempsey could take back an illegitimate child,

he could take back the second one and then the third one. Come on, do you think that the child in your

belly is irreplaceable?”

Stella finally figured out why Annie would come to her now when she heard the words.

Annie feared Clarence in the past. It seemed like she didn’t know that Clarence was an illegitimate

child before.

Therefore, she didn’t seek troubles for her during this time and Stella guessed it was because Clarence

warned her before.

But today, after the disclosure of illegitimate child, her attitude changed dramatically.

When she mentioned Clarence just now, her tone of voice was so contemptuous.

This wouldn’t have happened yesterday.

After a short while of silence, Stella looked up at Annie and said in an extremely calm voice, “If it’s

irreplaceable, do you think that he will confine me in this place?”

It was Annie to be silent this time.

Several minutes later, she satirized her, “Your complacency comes so early. I won’t let go of you easily.”

Stella smiled, “I also want to say this to you.”

Annie suddenly recalled Stella’s warning when she just came back to the country, her expression

changing slightly.

She wasn’t afraid of Stella. It was just that if Clarence learned the truth, he would definitely kill her.

After Annie’s leaving, Stella locked the door. And she thought this was not enough and locked the door

from inside and then sat down on her bed. She felt like all the strength in her body was drained out and

her palms were covered with sweats.

How dangerous!

She could not show any weakness when confronting an aggressive and arrogant person like Annie.

Luckily, she solved the danger tonight.

But Annie was like a bomb for her and she didn’t know when it would explode.

Right at this moment, Stella’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Sherry.

“Stella, how’s the situation there?”

“I…I’m fine.” When Stella spoke, she found her voice husky. “Did you find Channing?”

“He’s now staying by my side. You… Oh, wait!”

Before Sherry could finish her words, her phone was grabbed by Channing. He asked in a cold voice,

“They imprison you in the Conrads’ Mansion?”

Stella replied, “Nope. Chan, it’s not like what you’re thinking.”

“If it’s not like what I’m thinking, I will go to pick you now.”

“Chan.” Stella said in a soft voice, “I don’t want you to be involved in this matter. The Conrad family is

very dangerous and complicated.”

“You know it’s dangerous, but you…”

“I’m pregnant with Clarence’s child now and they won’t do anything to me. But you’re different. They

dare to do anything. Chan, listen, no matter what happens later, you should stay in your school. Don’t

get yourself involved in my things.”

Channing knitted his brows tightly and didn’t reply.

Sherry chimed in, “Just listen to your sister’s words. You’re just a student and you can’t do anything.”

Sherry tried hard to persuade Channing and finally got back her phone. She said to Stella, “Stella, I’ve

asked others about the situation of the Conrad Group. It seems like Clarence doesn’t give a shit to this

matter. Don’t worry about it anymore. Moreover, the discussion on the Internet has cooled down. It shall

not be a big deal.”

Stella nodded her head, “All right, got it.”

“It’s late now. You shall go to bed earlier. Why there’re many troubles every day?”

Lying on the bed, Stella was completely sleepless. She turned on her phone again and began to

browse the Internet. She found that the one who disclosed her pregnancy deleted the post one hour

ago. And the one who implied that Clarence was an illegitimate child also cancelled the account.

It seemed like nothing had happened and they all disappeared into the thin air.

Nevertheless, after tonight, all businessmen in City N all knew that Clarence was an illegitimate son.

Even though they wouldn’t mention it in the public, they would discuss it in private.

Stella didn’t want to cling to this. She turned off her phone and put it on the bedside table.

At the back of her mind, she guessed that the disclosure of her pregnancy and the implication of the

fact that Clarence was an illegitimate child were done by two parties.

And the later one was probably done by Joanna.

Stella didn’t fall asleep for the whole night. Although she was lying on the bed, she had been paying

attention to the noises from the corridor. Nevertheless, there never came a footstep.

Clarence didn’t come back to the mansion.

Stella hesitated about whether to call him or not, but it was true that she had no standpoint or

qualification to do so.

Moreover, he was going to marry Phoebe soon. Even she herself thought it inappropriate to call him

now.

When it was about to reach the daybreak, Stella finally fell asleep.

But she hadn’t expected that when she woke up again, she would saw the headline news being

‘Clarence Conrad, the CEO of the Conrad Group, and Phoebe Steward, the daughter of the Steward

family, will hold a wedding one month later.

When this piece of news was released, the stock price of the Conrad Group immediately went up and

even surpassed the price before the dropping.

It seemed like her worries last night were unnecessary.
