Chapter 37
As soon as he said that he did not want the child, she would immediately go and do the abortion.
It was merely like that.
Did she actually do something unforgivable?
After leaving the office of SG Jewelry Magazine, Stella took a cab to the Conrad Group.
And it was as if the receptionist of the Conrad Group knew in advance that she would come. The receptionist only asked her surname and without even registering, the receptionist directly took her to the elevator that was exclusive for the president.
Stella still remembered that a long time ago, she came to deliver documents to Clarence and she did not dare to tell the employees of the Conrad Group that she was Clarence’s wife, fearing that he would be angry due to this. So, she could only stand at the reception like a fool and waited for them to be free to inform their superiors.
In the end, that wretched man gave her his attitude.
When she got off the elevator, Nathan was already waiting outside.
Nathan said, “Mrs. Conrad, Mr. Conrad is in a meeting. He has asked you to stay in his office for a while.”
Stella tried to control herself but she still failed in the end, “Stop calling me Mrs. Conrad, I’m not eligible.”
“…”
This was indeed like killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred soldiers.
Nathan coughed, reached out his hand and said, “Mrs. Con…Ms. Radomil, please.”
While sitting in Clarence’s office, when Stella saw the coffee given by Nathan, she said, “Can you help me to change it to a cup of hot water, the kind that can severely scald someone when I splash it.”
“Ms. Radomil…is really good at joking.”
Stella said while smiling hypocritically, “But I’m still not as good as Mr. Conrad.”
Seeing this, Nathan could immediately know that the reason she came here personally was to accuse somebody of something. He did not know how Mr. Conrad could be so confident in which he thought that the reason she came here was to thank and cozy up to him.
But, Nathan still changed her coffee to hot water but it was the kind that was not that scalding.
He thought thoughtfully that if Mr. Conrad was really splashed later, water would at least not make him look so embarrassed compared to coffee.
But Stella was just all talk and no action to vent her anger. She did not have the gall to splash it onto Clarence.
At this time, the little naughty thing in her belly was making trouble. She vomited dryly several times and was able to relieve slightly after drinking some water.
Clarence came back when the water in the glass was almost finished.
He unbuttoned his suit and sat opposite Stella. He spoke in a cold tone as if he was talking about a work matter, “What makes you come to me.”
This man was really wretched as he asked despite knowing the answer.
Stella also did not want to talk nonsense with him. She took out an IOU from the bag, “Regarding Mr. Conrad’s behaviour of being nosy, inconsistent and double-dealing, although I feel very…”
Halfway through her words, she felt that the temperature in the entire office abruptly declined.
Stella changed the subject without changing her expression, “I admire your deed but I also feel that Mr. Conrad’s method of killing people without causing blood to flow out is awesome.”
Clarence did not have the patience to hear her talking nonsense here. He interrupted her in displeasure, “Say something that humans can understand.”
“To put it simply, although I think what you did was shameful, I still can’t feel at ease to have a debt of large sum of money so I can only swallow the anger back into my stomach and write you an IOU while containing my anger.”
Wasn’t this what the wretched man wanted to see the most.
Clarence raised his eyes to look at her. His handsome and cold features did not show any emotions, “So, how do you plan to pay back this time.”
Stella pursed her lips and when she was about to speak, as if he knew what was she going to say, he slowly and methodically ruined her way of escape, “I don’t accept instalments.”
“…”
She felt that this evil capitalist was really an asshole.
Stella said, “Since Mr. Conrad does so many things in order to just embarrass me, I indeed don’t have money to pay you back, what do you want, you can say it directly.”
Clarence’s attractive eyebrows were slightly furrowed, “Do you think the reason I’m doing this is to embarrass you?”
“Isn’t it true? I don’t know how far Mr. Conrad wants to do before you’ll become satisfied. If what Mr. Conrad really wants is to let me leave SG Jewelry Magazine, fine, I promise you that I’ll terminate the contract and resign after going back today. I’ll go to a place where you can’t see me so that you won’t feel annoyed.”
Clarence said coldly, “Stella, is your brain made of glue? I sent my public relations team to SG Jewelry Magazine, chose a person from the show to strongly support and let Winnie fill the vacancy to do catwalk on stage. You think the reason I’m doing all these is to let you disappear from my sight?”
“The reason you did all those was for Vivian, what does it have to do with me, don’t try to muddy the water.”
“I did it for her? Why should I do it for her? Did her name ever appear in my spouse’s list?”
Not to be outdone, Stella retorted, “Aren’t you preparing to let her name appear?”
Clarence was directly exasperated and amused by her but his tone became calmer, “Stella, I’ve told you many times. Eat less junk food and eat more walnuts to boost your brain.”
“…”
She would occasionally make hot pot and crawfish at home before. When Clarence came back and saw this, he would throw everything into the trash bin outside and then held her down in the bathtub and got her washed entirely three times until he said that there was no more smell.
Wait, was this the right time to talk about this?
Stella brought the topic back to the track, “How does Mr. Conrad want me to pay you back.”
Clarence’s eyebrows raised without any trace. He did not speak and his long fingers were gently tapping the armrest of the sofa.
The only things that were not written all over his body were the two words ‘beg me’. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Nevertheless, Stella also knew very well that this wretched man not only wanted to hear her beg him.
But she really could not figure out what he really wanted.
Seeing her lowering her head and keeping silent, Clarence slowly spoke, “Stella, I’ve said that if you regret it, I can give you a chance again.”
This time, Stella reacted very quickly, knowing what was he referring to. She asked directly, “Why?”
“There is no reason.”
Stella laughed. She knew why. Everything was just because he wanted to get back at her.
In this marriage without love, she could be unfortunate, could also be disliked and detested and could even be a wife who could only quietly wait for him to come home forever.
But after getting divorced, she could do a lot of things that she wanted to do.
This should not be what Clarence wanted to see either.
Yeah, she brought him into the grave of marriage three years ago so how could she leave just like that.
After a long time, she said, “Although I was once criticized by a capitalist who was as proud as peacock for not having a dream.”
Clarence was speechless.
Stella continued wanly, “I always knew what I actually wanted and I also knew what I could get with my capability. After experiencing three years of a failed marriage, I initially thought I could rely on my own efforts to pursue my dream again but if Mr. Conrad is really unwilling to let me go, I can abolish this pair of hands. Then, I can no longer hold the pencil and can no longer design anything.”
“If this is still not enough to relieve Mr. Conrad’s anger, why don’t you just hire a murderer to kill me?”
Clarence closed his eyes and his voice was squeezed out from his throat, “Get lost. Leave the IOU here, pay me back in instalments.”
“Alright. Goodbye, Mr. Conrad.”
Stella picked up her beg and left directly.
When she reached the door, she stopped, “Mr. Conrad, I’ll transfer the money I owe you to your account every month on time. If you need anything else, just ask your assistant to contact me. My phone is on 24 hours a day.”
Her words meant that she did not intend to add his contact information back.
After leaving the Conrad Group, Stella’s mood did not get better even though she could pay back in instalments.
