Stella couldn’t get what he meant, “Pardon me?”
Clarence wasn’t in the mood to continue talking to her. He hung up the phone directly.
Hearing the beeps on the phone, Stella was still confused. She couldn’t get what he meant by saying
that.
Right then, Sherry came out from the box, “What happened? Did that wretched... Mr. Conrad call you?”
Stella shook her head, “Nothing much. Let’s go back.”
After dinner, Stella received a reply from Phoebe. She said she was fine with the design draft and
asked Stella to draw the product draft. No matter what kind of materials and jewelry Stella needed, she
would ask someone to send it to Stella.
Stella replied to Phoebe. Then Winnie said, “Stella, I also want to have a set of jewelry designed by
you. Could you do it as a private project? I don’t have time to go to SG in person.”
Stella put away her phone, “Of course. Just tell me your favorite style. I’ll give it to you as a gift.”
“How could I accept it? It’s your job. I can’t take advantage of you,” Winnie said. She added in a low
voice, “Besides if Mr. Conrad knew that I took your design for free, he would crush me to work to
death.”
Stella was speechless and confused.
She didn’t think that she mentioned what her relationship with Clarence was to Winnie before.
Sherry was also confused, “How did you know it?”
Winnie looked at them in confusion, “Is it so difficult to guess?”
Long ago, when Nathan asked her to go to visit Stella in the hospital, Winnie sensed that the
relationship between Stella and Clarence was not simple.
Although Clarence always had some gossips about his affairs which were guessed by the paparazzi,
Winnie knew him more or less after working for him for so many years.
She knew that no matter Vivian or other actresses or models who had gossips with Clarence were all
talking robots in his eyes.

him, how could he want to know what a jewelry designer posted on her WeChat Moments?
It was way too obvious.
Upon hearing Winnie’s words, Stella quieted down for a long time. She seemed to figure out roughly
what Clarence meant by his ending words.
He said that she was his right and proper official wife, which meant that he had never planned to hide
this fact from others.
If not mistaken, Stella guessed what he meant was that in the future, if someone said she was a
mistress in the dark, she could feel free to let others know that he was her ex-husband.
However, Stella believed that she would face a bigger problem if she did so.
Since the public knew about their divorce, Stella had heard a lot of versions about herself from others.
Finally, the heat was gone, if Stella told others that she was Clarence’s ex-wife suddenly, wouldn’t it
become another hot topic online again?
She just wanted to lead a peaceful life.
Besides, people like Liam were just a few. As long as she didn’t do anything guilty, she didn’t care.
...
Twilight Club.
After receiving the call from his company, despite Jolie’s entanglement, Liam rushed home and
changed his clothes. Then he went to the company in a hurry.
The CEO of Group Wisdom Company said, “Liam, Mr. Conrad appointed you to join the project. Cheer
up! The cooperation success relies on you.”
Liam nodded immediately, “Mr. Davis, please rest assured. I’ll behave well to gain the cooperation.”
Originally, he was still bothered by encountering Sherry in the afternoon. Much to his surprise, he had
such a good opportunity. He thought it was a blessing in disguise.
“Let’s go. Hurry up. Mr. Conrad is arriving soon.”
As soon as they left, Vincent appeared from the corner, wondering what Clarence was doing again.
What was so good about the project of Group Wisdom Company?
Ten minutes later.
The door of the box was pushed open. A man’s figure showed up at the door, looking cold and upright.
Andrew Davis immediately walked up to him, “Good evening, Mr. Conrad. Long time no see!”
Clarence didn’t change his expression, “Have we met before?”
“Yes. Of course. At a business cocktail party, I met you once from afar. I wanted to greet you but there
were so many people. Besides, you were quite busy at that time, so I didn’t disturb you, Mr. Conrad.”
As he answered, Andrew immediately pulled Liam over and introduced, “Mr. Conrad, this is Liam
Keith.”
Upon hearing it, Liam immediately reached out his hand, “Hello, Mr. Conrad. It’s my great honor to
meet you...”
“Let’s get straight to the point.”
Clarence withdrew his gaze. He strode over and his tone was quite cold.
Andrew was quite unhappy with Liam’s behavior. Immediately, he followed Clarence.
Liam withdrew his hand awkwardly, knowing that he was being presumptuous.
He didn’t think that he should be blamed. This was the first time that he met such a bigwig like
Clarence. Besides, Mr. Davis told him that Mr. Conrad appointed him particularly to join the project, so
he couldn’t help...
At the thought of it, Liam felt a bit annoyed. Sure enough, those tycoons’ minds were quite hard to get.
Since Liam made a mistake just now, Andrew was afraid that Clarence would vent his anger on Liam,
so afterward, he personally started to introduce the project.
Clarence was sitting on the sofa. With the index and middle fingers of his right hand, he tapped his
temple, looking quite lazy and aloof.
Although he didn’t speak, he made others stressed for some reason.
Liam was sitting far away from them. He wondered why he always felt that this man looked familiar.
However, he couldn’t recall where he had met him before.

Even Andrew had met Clarence from afar only, so Liam didn’t think he would have any chance to meet
him.
After introducing the project in detail, Andrew asked gingerly, “Mr. Conrad, how do you like this
project?”
Clarence answered flatly, “Just so-so.”
Andrew immediately echoed, “Exactly. I also sensed that something is missing. Mr. Conrad, if you could
give us some suggestions, I’m sure our project would be improved.”
Clarence looked up at him slightly, “Mr. Davis, haven’t you brought along another manager. Let’s what
he thinks, shall we?”
Hearing that Clarence mentioned him, Liam immediately returned to his senses, “Yes, Mr. Conrad. I...”
However, he couldn’t utter another word for a long time. Andrew reminded him, “Mr. Conrad wanted to
hear your opinions about this project. Hurry up and answer.”
When Liam was about to answer, they heard some noises outside the door.
Clarence said in a cold tone, “Since this is a difficult question to answer, think about it. Answer me
when you are ready.”
After finishing his words, he stood up and was about to leave.
“Mr. Conrad... Mr. Conrad...”
Andrew panicked and followed him. It was so hard for him to finally get this chance. How could he be
willing to let go of it so easily?
The door of the box was opened. Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad.”
In the corridor, there were a lot of onlookers gathering together. It seemed that something happened.
From the crowd, they heard women’s screams from time to time.
Clarence looked over expressionlessly.
Right then, Andrew and Liam all followed over. Instantly, they were attracted by the harsh screams.
Some passers-by asked, “What’s going on here?”
An onlooker who knew the inside story answered, “It seems someone caught adultery in the act. Holy
moly! This is the first time I saw such a big scene. They fought so violently. I’m sure the mistress would
be beaten up to death or disabled.”
