Stella noticed Clarence car when she came downstairs. Then Joseph saw her and greeted her. "Assistant Radomil!" At first, Stella treated him kindly. However, she had lately engaged in a cold war with Clarence, and when she met Joseph, she gave him a hard time. She gave him a quick, stern gaze before turning away, avoiding him, and walking away. Joseph gave his head a tap. What had gone wrong, he wondered? Clarence came down shortly after that. He brushed him by without even looking at him as Joseph grinned and greeted him. Maybe they got back together and started fighting again? Stella took a day off and visited the hospital the following day for a physical examination. Upon reviewing the data, the physician advised her to increase her rest and avoid becoming overly fatigued because the fetal position was not stable. Stella took notes, closed the report, and turned to go. She was strolling outdoors when she suddenly recognized someone. Examining it more closely revealed that
Riley once mentioned her older brother to Stella. She always concerned that she would not be taken seriously because her eldest brother didn't appear to care much for her and that she was the younger sister who would eventually acknowledge her. Riley had been consoled at the time by Stella. However, she was clueless as to why Riley had suddenly become irritated. Now that Jeff had asked, Stella felt obligated to speak on Riley’s behalf because they are friends. Jeff did not respond to her as his expression somewhat darkened. "Then you know everything about her and she knows everything about you too?" he asked her after some time. Stella nodded, even though she didn't know what this question meant. Of course, she and Riley were together all the time. Jeff remained silent, the car fell silent again, and Stella was at a loss for words. They reached their destination not too long afterward. Stella thanked Jeff for the ride and said as soon as the car came to a stop, "Thank yo
"Yes, by myself. No matter what I suffer in the future, it has nothing to do with you,” Stella said with a pursed lip and a chilly gaze at Kelvin. “I'm hoping you won't entangle me anymore. Our company is structured in a very transparent way. Workers aren't allowed to fall in love with one another. I believe you are married, am I correct? You have constantly hounded me, a single girl, as a married man. I am able to file a direct complaint against you. Next, however...” Kelvin’s expression darkened. "I had no idea you had such a sharp tongue. Have you ever considered whose land you currently occupy? Would you dare say such a thing to me? Do you not think you would be kicked out of the Conrad Group by me?” "When did you have so much power that you can expel people from the Conrad Group casually?" Stella was cut off from speaking by a frigid male voice. The sound was not unfamiliar to her, and before she could respond, Kelvin blurted, "Mr. Jude , why are you here?" Jude? Stella’s
Stella gave her a quick glance but remained silent. "Have you heard? I'm conversing with you.” "You roar so loudly, do you think others can't hear it?" Stella asked with a cool smile after hearing it. "So you should answer me," Lily gave her a fierce gaze. "Are you lacking anything to say? I have to leave work soon, so hurry up." Lily wanted to run over and rip Stella apart because she was so furious, but she had to restrain herself because of her plan. "I am to blame for what we did earlier. I'm sorry to you." Stella hesitated, unable to resist raising an eyebrow and giving her a quick look. All she could see of Lily was a depressing appearance, and the intensity of the rage in her eyes made it seem as though she was eager to get over and start beating her up. "Miss Lily , you came to apologize to me with a vicious hatred," Stella remarked. “I believed you harbored a strong animosity toward me before you stated this." "You!" "To be honest, I don't really care what
Clarence halted his mobility aid. He raised his head and studied Stella’s pale face with his icy gaze. His tone was mocking, as was the way he stared at her. "Did you intentionally do it? Stella, you have too much confidence in yourself." She bit her lip and became pale, saying, "It is obvious whether or not I am telling the truth." Clarence wore a neutral expression. "Get out of way." Stella "..." After bearing with it, she turned around and walked away from him. Before he arrived, she shut the elevator door and thought angrily that he could wait for the next one. What a bastard! With the intention of going after the bath, she went straight back to the room and started to take a bath. John texted her as she lay there, asking if she had gone to sleep and if she had prepared the dress for tomorrow. He promised to come over and apply her makeup before they went to the event. Stella questioned John about Riley’s appointment while she was thinking about it. She felt better
Despite not seeing her coming, Stella nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead; I'll wait for you here." Riley waved her hand and said upon hearing that, "No, you don't have to wait for me, I'll be alright in two minutes, so come downstairs." "... Well then, I'll wait for you downstairs." After that, Stella grabbed her purse and cell phone and headed downstairs. Riley was at last relieved when she departed. She went without a second thought, feeling fortunate that Stella’s was not a cunning woman. Riley shut the door behind her and opened the wardrobe again, pulling out the suit she had tucked into the lattice. She removed the two buttons off the garment and hung it up. She smiled as she tucked the button into her purse. After the button was removed, Stella’s wouldn't have discovered the truth, right? Stella’s wouldn't be suspicious even if she came to see this clothing because the button wasn't there. However, Riley’s expression darkened once again. Charlotte had a button in her hand
Riley put Clarence up when she came at the car and did not get off again. Angrily, Stella stood where she was. Just then, a car pulled up in front of her. She spotted Jude when the window was rolled down. "Are you visiting the business? I'm able to let you go." Jude’s eyes had lost their coldness. He remained courteous and kind. When Stella unconsciously glanced at Clarence, she saw that Riley was bending over to get things ready for him. Clarence appeared to look at her on purpose, but he withdrew his view as though he didn't seem to care. "Stella, come here quickly." Riley turned to face her and waved. ".. Not necessary." Stella , for some reason, declined her advances, and before they could reply, she yanked open Jude’s car door and took a seat. "Please give me a ride, drive." Jude looked through the rearview mirror and nodded, "Ok." The car in front of it continued to drive away, but it stopped. Joseph asked as he sat in front of Riley and turned to face her, "Miss
Holding a box, Stella stood at the company's door, waiting for Riley. Riley unlocked Clarence’s car and shoved him down as it came to a halt. With a smile, she asked, "Lala, what is your hand?" Stella experienced a vision similar to a sharp knife striking her body as she spoke. Clarence’s sight was as horrifying as a deadly serpent, causing her to shrink backward and clutch the box firmly in her breast. Clarence saw this as a subliminal action, yet she still treated the box as a prize. She had nothing when she got in the car, but when she got out, she had a box. What was meant by that? What a considerate woman, oh. "Nothing." Riley smiled, moved closer to Stella, and shoved Clarence forward as Stella clutched the bag tightly and said. Stella could feel Clarence’s icy breath all over her. She retreated a step, attempting to pull herself from the embrace of his icy breath. “Is that a gift from Jude, Stella? You entered the automobile without bringing this box?" Stella’s fac
185 By the time Stella opened her eyes, she felt so weak that she was unable to stand up. Glancing up, she saw everyone looking at her and it then it dawned on her what took place before. “It’s alright Stella, the police has taken Kelvin and his accomplice away.” Clarence said as Stella froze in fear. “Clarence I..” Stella wanted to talk but she wept instead. She had been so scared thinking Kelvin succeeded in taking advantage of her before dozing off, but now that Clarence had told her that Kelvin got caught, she heaved a sign of relived. Clarence then held her arms and said, “in the past I used to believe that you had only become a substitute bride and got married to me because of my money, and I hated you for that. But now I know the reason why you got married to me in the first place. I also accused you of seducing men, and did other things to test you and see if you’ll truly pass my test and you did,” “So But today, I want to reveal the secret that I had kept a long t
184 "You can't get away." Kelvin put his hand on hers and held her slender wrist. It was vulgar because he dropped his with deliberateness. "Everyone is at the banquet, and there will be more fantastic events following the swimming competition. Nobody is going to come save you, not even if you flee. Accepting me will ensure that I treat you gently." "Let me go!" Stella gave him a firm handshake and took a few backward steps. What had gone wrong with her? Why did her hands and legs lack strength? Her beautiful cheeks were growing redder and redder as she stared at her shaking fingers. She felt as though a constant stream of hot air was emerging from her stomach. It was recognizable. Just like the time Flynn took her away and locked her in the room! Was she drugged once more? The instant this thought crossed her mind, she became desperate. “I tried to convince you to be with me, Stella, but you refused, so I had to do this, you know. I really enjoy you. I promise that no
With a blush on his face, Zach candidly explained to Stella. “Zach Filler is my name, and I am FIL Group's only son. Playing baseball and racing are my pastimes. I'd like to become friends with you." Stella, "........ John, "..." Riley pouted and uttered a sardonic, "FIL Group? Who believe you to be? Do you want to become our friends? Examine your deservingness." Everyone's face changed at the words. Zach looked at Riley , his face going pale and him frozen in place. Even though Stella didn't want to listen to him, she glanced at Riley in shock because she found Riley’s remarks to be too harsh and unbelievable. Riley believed she had a lot of respect since she came into the Red family. She was always haughty and in charge. People dared not touch her because she was true to herself. She always pretended to be a refined lady in front of Stella, but when she saw Zach, she forgot. Riley gave a gentle grin as she considered this. "Lala, I apologize for what I said. I simply p
The game started shortly after the minutes passed. Many girls applied for the girl competition after learning that the winner would receive surprise awards. Nara and Lily both applied for it. They returned and noticed Stella sitting there, so they had to come over and say a few snarky things. “This guy is new to our department, right? Why remain in a daze here?" “Yes, how about entering the competition? People such as yourself shouldn't be the most forceful, right?” With a fixed gaze, John asked, "What do you want?" "Nothing, just to see her." "Are you sure you won't apply for it?" Staring at Stella, Lily questioned. Stella gave her a quick glance. "Is there a rule that I must attend?" "You!" Lily felt enraged. At first, she believed there was a chance to hurt her, but she decided not to take part. “How much does it concern you if she chooses not to participate? You are welcome to participate. With all the others, why even bother?" John furiously stared at the two w
With this thought in mind, Stella closed her eyes and gazed silently at the glistening water. "Sorry, I didn't think that much..." Riley gave a mortifying little smile. With a snort and a mumble about having a lousy idea, John turned to face Stella and behaving like an antipath. "Charge up your phone so we can take pictures later when they are in competition." Riley asked as she had an epiphany, "Will everyone be present when the competition is on?" "Yes, everyone will come, and there will be judges," John said with a nod. "Are only men allowed to compete?" John turned to face Riley and asked, "What do you mean?" "I mean, men can compete, so can we girls." With a brilliant light in her eyes, Joh said, "Yes, but... They didn't make such arrangements and girls couldn't attend." "Isn't that easy?" Riley grinned, reached across to take Stella’s arm, and waved to him nearby, "Mr. Jude!" Riley’s cry caught other people's attention, and Jude turned to face her. His eyes were
Clarence gave her a feral look as he stared. She bit her lip and squinted, saying, "No!" "Do you want to walk around dressed like that?" Her neck was long and fair; she straightened her waist and lifted her chin slightly. "This is how everyone dresses. Why isn't one able to? Since you consider me to be a wantonly woman and you dislike whatever I wear. So why should it matter to me what you think?" Clarence scowled. After saying these things, she turned around and walked away, carefully lowering the shawl to reveal her lovely shoulders. Joseph says, "....." She had a tiger on her back! Clarence’s hands were clinched into fists, and his breath turned chilly. He cast a sardonic glance at that mysterious figure. "Mr. Conrad..... Shall we... bring Mrs. Conrad back?" stammered Joseph , standing behind him. "Who gave you permission to call her that?" "Did I make a mistake?" Joseph asked, swallowing a mouthful of spittle anxiously. When he addressed her as Mrs. Conrad in fron
"Zach Filler, enough. Do you think she is an ordinary woman? She stands together with Miss Red," Zavi remarked. “We can't afford to provoke her, even though she might be a group member's kid." They were a bunch of mostly womanizing individuals. They only played with ladies who lacked wealth and influence since those things could always be resolved with money. They followed regulations. They did not play with wealthy ladies, in contrast to Flynn Andrew, who, as you may recall, "got destroyed by playing with rich women." Although the Andrew Group held significant power in B City, it was eventually eliminated. “ How come we haven't seen her previously if she was a group member's daughter? It was an unknown group, even though she is." "Simple, investigate her." Stella located a seat and wrapped the shawl snugly around her. Riley could not resist making fun of her. What makes you so timid? The purpose of the clothing was to be worn and displayed to others. What is the cover art fo
That final comment seemed almost like a question. Stella had never seen Riley so dominant that she wasn't sure if her feelings were justified. After some while, Stella gave her a look. "Ri, what's wrong with you?" After hearing that, Riley abruptly regained consciousness and realized she was overexcited. She scoffed, dropped her eyes, and shook her head. "What's the matter with me? I have revealed the truth to you. Why? I'm hoping you can leave this situation as quickly as possible. But even though he was directly in front of you, you were too afraid to acknowledge or even speak about it. I wonder if you like Clarence, but I'm not sure what's on your mind." "Actually... I don't know." Stella’s cast her gaze down, gloomy. "I don't think I should like him, but..." Riley worried when she saw her entangled. Was her admiration for Clarence genuine? "However, what? Do you not see that? He's not at all fond of you." Riley realized she had said something unguarded and regretted
Holding a box, Stella stood at the company's door, waiting for Riley. Riley unlocked Clarence’s car and shoved him down as it came to a halt. With a smile, she asked, "Lala, what is your hand?" Stella experienced a vision similar to a sharp knife striking her body as she spoke. Clarence’s sight was as horrifying as a deadly serpent, causing her to shrink backward and clutch the box firmly in her breast. Clarence saw this as a subliminal action, yet she still treated the box as a prize. She had nothing when she got in the car, but when she got out, she had a box. What was meant by that? What a considerate woman, oh. "Nothing." Riley smiled, moved closer to Stella, and shoved Clarence forward as Stella clutched the bag tightly and said. Stella could feel Clarence’s icy breath all over her. She retreated a step, attempting to pull herself from the embrace of his icy breath. “Is that a gift from Jude, Stella?
