Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 27

Clarence was silent for a while, “No need.”

He did not want to see her right now.

From the time Clarence was taken back to the Conrad family with the title of being an illegitimate son, he was disgusted with the things so-called blood ties and inheritance.

Especially when he stepped into the door of the Conrad family and saw Justin who was partially paralyzed in a wheelchair with gloom in his eyes, the filth and inferiority that could not be concealed even by the golden bricks and tiles almost suffocated him.

So, the matter that Stella used the child as a bargaining chip had really gone beyond the limit of his patience.

Clarence opened his phone again. As he had blacklisted and deleted her previously, in the dialog box between him and Stella, there was neither her careful concern nor her tireless exhortation. There was also no action of her waiting quietly and obediently. There were only blanks.

He tapped the input box with his long fingers and typed a few words. Then, he deleted all of them.

An hour later…

When Stella was about to hit the sack, the phone that was placed beside the bed suddenly vibrated.

She blinked her eyes and what she saw was only a few cold words from the wretched man. ‘Twenty- five days left’.

Stella was speechless.

Did he really need to do up to this extent? He gave her a countdown to death in the middle of the night.

Stella thought for a while. She was lazy to even type a word so she just replied with an OK gesture.

It was serious and formal.

It symbolized her determination to pay back the money on time.

However, she was not satisfied with Clarence’s action of disturbing others at night. She changed his name from ‘the wretched man’ to ‘Clarence the Exploiter’ overnight.

Only then did she put down her phone again and hit the hay satisfactorily.

However, Vivian also heard the news from SG Jewelry Magazine. After self-doubting for a while, she then affirmed a fact.

That was, although Mr. Conrad was ostensibly indifferent to her, he actually liked her.

Thinking back carefully now, whenever he reprimanded her, it was because Stella had made a mess and she played mind games in order to impress him.

But afterward, he did not do anything to her and had even given her the resources of SG Jewelry Magazine. He had already done up to this point.

It seemed that because of Stella, Clarence detested the matter of playing tricks very much.

But if that was the case, she totally did not need to use any tactics anymore and by being obedient in the future, she would naturally be able to distance herself from a person like Stella. Clarence would also like her more.

With this idea in mind, when Vivian met Stella backstage at the show, she did not go and taunt her like before but she just coldly snorted in disdain and left.

Sherry showed a speechless expression and made a ‘tsk’ sound, “How come she doesn’t pounce on us like a mad dog today?”

Stella was arranging the jewellery in front of her, “Perhaps she has done the rabies vaccination.”

Even if Sherry did not tell Stella that Vivian would be the main focus of the entire show, when she went to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine a few days ago to come to Stanford, she had already heard many people discussing the matter that Clarence had spent a lot of money for Vivian.

Not only the staff of SG Jewelry Magazine but also the models who did the catwalk in the show this time and the other designers were also envious.

It was needless to mention the benefit for a model to be able to pick those top resources at will but if a designer got this opportunity, it undoubtedly meant that one would be able to get more platforms to show the talent. On top of that, one could even cooperate with the foreign famous designer and get guidance.

Whether one would become famous or not hinged on this one action.

Such a golden opportunity was near but it was almost impossible to be seized. It made people actually sighed about a capitalist’s abomination.

In contrast, Stella did not care about these at all. If it was three years ago, she would probably still want to fight against fate to the end. But, the cruelty of reality also made her clear that she did not have the qualifications.

Not to mention that she was criticized three years ago for being a person without dreams.

Now, she only wanted to pay back the money to Clarence as soon as possible. Then, she would raise the little one in her belly safely and healthily.

As for what kind of flirtation that Clarence and Vivian wanted to portray, it was none of her business.

But when Stella saw that the necklace that she had stayed up all night to design was hung on Vivian’s neck, she still had some impulsive thoughts of wanting to commit a crime.

Vivian sat in front of the make-up mirror and her fingers were casually fiddling with the necklace on her neck. She spoke carelessly, “If it isn’t for the sake of SG Jewelry Magazine, I’ll never wear such a thing that is designed by a designer without fame. Even if she begs me, I also won’t wear it.”

Sherry was originally taking pictures of the backstage models during preparation that were used for the next magazine. When she heard this, she slowly replied, “Yeah, you’re big-headed. But the contract of someone who has taken shots for the advertisement before has been terminated before even releasing the materials.”

Hearing this, Vivian’s expression changed. She wanted to stand up and retort that it was because of that bitch by the name of Stella but then, as she thought that there were too many people here, she wanted to preserve her image. So, her butt that was lifted sat down again.

She coldly harrumphed, “That is better than being disliked and detested by one’s own husband.”

When Sherry was about to fight with her, she was pulled by Stella, “The show is about to start. Let’s go out.”

Vivian was liked by Clarence now. It would not do them any good to directly have a conflict with her.

…

As the grand fashion show this time was held in City N, and as SG Jewelry Magazine was the organizer, many people from all walks of life came. Even famous celebrities of the entertainment industry also came.

Winnie, being a popular actress right now, was naturally also present.

And as she was the artist of the Conrad Group, her position was next to Clarence.

After the show started, the lights in the auditorium went down.

Winnie was a bit bored after watching for a while. She yawned and simply talked about a subject, “I hear that Mr. Conrad has even sent the best public relations team of the Conrad Group in order to please your new sweetheart.”

Clarence looked askance at her. His facial features were hidden in the partially dark light and his voice was abnormally cold, “What nonsense are you talking about.”

“Is there no such thing? I’ve received many private messages from people who feel sorry for me and comfort me. This matter is spread widely with basis and it isn’t like a rumour without any proof.”

“Comfort you for what.” Clarence’s expression remained unchanged, “Regret that the new sweetheart isn’t you is it.”

Winnie was speechless.

She slightly curled her lips, “Mr. Conrad is really good at joking.”

This wretched man surprisingly sent a public relations team for Vivian. Being the person who was comforted by many people on the Internet, could not she ask him. In the end, she was even mocked by him…

Just when Winnie thought that all the topics today were over, Clarence took the initiative to say, “She isn’t a new sweetheart. She also can’t be counted as a person I loved before.”

“…”

What kind of delirious words was he saying? Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Although Winnie wanted to criticize him severely in her mind, after all, Clarence was her own boss. She just laughed twice perfunctorily, “Haha, is it, that’s really unfortunate then.”
