Stella believed she had misheard. How was he going to say welcome? However, he truly said it, and he told Riley.

For a minute, she felt disappointed, yet delighted that Riley was welcomed.

"Joseph ,go to the study."

Joseph replied, "Then you guys play, I still have some work to finish with Mr. Conrad."

"Ok." Riley waved at Clarence and Joseph with a charming smile.

"Actually, I think Clarence is not as scary and cold as I thought," Riley said, glancing behind Clarence . "What do you think?"

Stella froze, glancing likewise at that lofty back. "Maybe."

"Stella, you're so lucky!"

"Lucky?"

"Yes, you are lucky to marry such a quality man as him."

Fortunate? Stella’s smile was slightly sour as she withdrew the corner of her mouth. She was unsure if her marriage to Clarence was a benefit or a drawback.

"But sooner or later you guys will have to divorce, it is useless."

    After supper, Stella sent Riley out, but upon noticing that she was not under a favorable mood, Stella inquired, "What's wrong?" Riley didn't hear her comments because she was preoccupied with thoughts. "Riley ?"Stella’s halted her stride. Riley just realized this at that point, and her clumsy smile only appeared when she met Stella’s worried look. “I apologize for not hearing you, Stella. I was simply thinking about something. Have you spoken to me at all?" "What's wrong with you?" Stella worriedly asked. Riley forced a smile at her "I'm fine" “Are you near to Clarence, by the way?" Stella wrinkled her eyebrows, finding this question a little odd. With haste, Riley clarified, "I just asked casually." Stella paused her speech and gave her a silent glance. Riley became a little anxious at the calm stare and said, "Stella, I just care about you." I had to leave right now.” "Okay, drive carefully." Having sent Riley away, Stella returned to the room. The notion of Ril

    "Afraid?" Clarence quietly laughed observing the terror in her eyes, "You have no guts, but you dare to marry into the Conrad family instead of your sister?" His smile was nasty. She felt his breath on her lips as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She slowly turned her back to face him, staring at him. "No." He asked with narrowed brows, "No?" "No!" Strongly, she remarked, "Riley will never conspire against you. I brought her only as a guest, and I won't let you think anything of her." He appeared to be moved by the last words, as his pupils briefly paused. "Not allowed?" “Indeed! I forbid it!" "Woman, are you jealous?" He started giggling. Not only was he attractive, but he also had a lovely voice and great kissing skills. Hold on, what was she contemplating? "I'm not envious. I simply won't allow you to cause harm to Riley." When he heard that, his eyes grew icy. Abruptly, he shoved her away. She collapsed on the floor. She gave him a furious look. "You think

    Clarence froze in place, and Stella was in shock. as neither of them anticipated such a thing would occur. She looked at him, who was nearby, and shivered her lips before saying, "I'm sorry." Clarence gritted his teeth and looked at her, his face blue. "Sorry?" Squeezing out of the teeth were the words, "Take your hand away." Stella:..... She felt the space she touched become larger as his words left her. With a flushed face, she shrieked and pulled back her hand, gazing at him. "Pervert!" Her face flushed as she chastised. Clarence: Oh my god! Did she really have the audacity to accuse him of being a rogue after having touched it herself? He asked her with narrowed eyes, "Who are you calling a pervert, say it again?" His body had a harsh and frightening atmosphere, like to a ferocious beast that would attack and tear you to pieces if you darted away! Even though she chastised him occasionally, she never ventured to test his boundaries or provoke his rage. He questioned he

    In an attempt to keep Riley from hearing, she spoke softly. With a curvature of his thin lips, he asked, "Afraid?" Stella cast a sidelong glance at Riley . She wore a crimson skirt today, which perfectly framed her form. Riley has always had an excellent figure. Did Clarence find her attractive? Stella thought about this, clenching her fist and biting her lip, "Why did you agree to come to breakfast with us, when you know she's my friend? What is your precise plan of action?" "You don't seem to have a clear picture of the situation." Clarence sneered, mockingly infusing his tone. "It's your friend who invited me, even if it's ill-intentioned, it's your friend who has ill-intentions towards me." Stella: That was a logical remark that she was unable to dispute! Not at all! Riley was not that kind of person! "Stop talking gibberish. Ri merely extended her invitation out of courtesy; she did not anticipate your acceptance." Stella, for her part, was not going to accept that Riley w

    They soon arrived at the prearranged location. After getting out of the automobile, Joseph felt relieved as he opened the door. Wiping away his perspiration, he turned back to face the two occupants of the car. With a neutral attitude, Stella stood up and pushed the icy-faced Clarence out of the vehicle. Joseph had the sudden impression that they were a perfect match. Clarence’s breath was usually sufficiently frigid. Though Stella was furious, he felt she could breathe new life into the car. Their union was intended. Jude and Riley also showed up. Riley approached her because of her dejected expression. "Lala, you don't look right, are you ok?" When Stella heard this, she unwillingly grinned and muttered, "I'm fine." "Good, let me help you." Riley said that, stepping forward and grabbing the wheelchair before waiting for Stella to respond. For a brief moment, Stella froze, and her hand unconsciously released. Watching as Riley pushed Clarence inside, she stood motionless.

    "Lala, what do you mean?" Riley asked with a rigid smile, "Do you suspect me?" "It's not like that!" Stella said and shook his head, "How could I possibly suspect you?" She simply feared that Riley was too close to Clarence and that he would pursue her; after all, she believed that his remarks shouldn't be made merely for amusement. Moreover, the rumors may not be accurate. Although there were allegations that he was infertile, his disability might be real. Ultimately, the contact on her hand earlier in the day was genuine. "Lala , why did you say these things?" Riley’s expression turned shamed. Her eyes lowered, she continued softly, "Are you misinterpreting what the boss said just now? However, didn't I already inform you that she was merely kidding? I'll bring Duke Young here to speak with you the next time if you don't trust me." Stella scowled at her without saying anything. She was eager to clarify, but she was unsure of where to begin. Riley yanked her phone out of her

    After a moment of shock, Jude let out a helpless laugh. "Are you blaming me for advocating your marriage to grandpa?" “How come? Stella was astounded— Jude was supporting Clarence’s marriage? Clarence scoffed and didn't say anything more. "You should find someone to take care of you because you are not young anymore and you also have a leg injury. I requested that your grandfather make the marriage proposal on your behalf because I am acquainted with the Radomil family's daughter. Clarence , I hope you can see my good intentions." Upon hearing the afterwords, Stella’s expression abruptly altered, and she unconsciously glanced at Jude. Prior to that, she had only been shocked that Jude had genuinely supported Clarence’s marriage. Had he looked into the daughter of the Radomil family already? Does he realize she's not Jenna then? Stella abruptly realized that he had not intended to speak her name during their previous conversation! Because she had grown accustomed to the name,

    "Why should he?" Clarence was chilly in his speech. She frowned slightly and could not figure it out, "If he was the one who advocated the marriage, then why didn't he reveal it if he found out that I was not Jenna?" "Heh. Was your brain born to be a poseur?" Clarence asked her, looking at her like a foolish fool. "I..... Do you have to say that?" he asked. "Is it necessary?" Stella "In your eyes, am I a vain, deep-hearted and brainless woman?" Clarence scoffed, pulling at his lips, saying, "You know yourself well." When she heard this, she balled her fist and forced herself to look at him. So how is it possible for a lady with a big heart to be stupid? Clarence, it seems like you're speaking incoherently." Clarence’s eyes narrowed and his eyelids jumped. This fucking woman! Abruptly, he looked up, his hard eyes glaring at her. "Say it again?" His abruptly hard glare stunned her , making her shoulders shrink reflexively, but her eyes met him with unwavering resolve.

    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? You entered the automobile without bringing this box?" Stella’s fac
