Chapter 38
She planned to keep the money to raise her child but she ended up with a huge debt inexplicably.
She did not know whether to say that the wretched man was generous or stingy.
If he was generous, in order to let her return the two million yuan, he came to stay beside the hospital bed, fearing that she would run away.
If he was stingy, he helped her to pay the penalty for breach of contract which was about ten million yuan in the blink of an eye.
However, the debt had come full circle in which the debt was back to her again. So, Clarence was both wretched and stingy.
…
After Stella left for a long time, Clarence realized that he had been cheated by her once again.
She was such a scheming and calculating woman. How would she willingly abolish her hands. Everything was just her means.
Clarence pressed the intercom to call Nathan in.
He said coldly, “What is going on with Vivian.”
As soon as he spoke, Nathan knew that a big disaster was coming. He hurriedly explained the matter from the beginning to the end.
When it almost came to the end of his words, he added sincerely and wholeheartedly, “I intended to tell you last time but before I said it, you said that the cooperation with SG Jewelry Magazine was already a cooperation that ended a few years ago and you let me not mention them in the future…”
Clarence coldly raised his eyes.
Nathan was shocked upon seeing this, “Mr. Conrad, I’ll go to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine now to clarify.”
“No need.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Stella already dared to scold him several times now. If she knew about all those things, it was inevitable that she would be full of herself.
Although everything he did was just for the sake of SG Jewelry Magazine, she would not necessarily think so and would only be cocky!
Maybe one day, she would dare to walk all over him and do whatever she wanted.
When Clarence was about to get up, he saw a medicine bottle that was left in the place where Stella was sitting.
He reached out to pick it up and saw the two words on the bottle, folic acid.
Clarence frowned, “Why does she take this.”
Nathan answered very cautiously, “I hear that taking this during the pregnancy preparation period can effectively prevent neural tube malformation of the foetus.”
Clarence darkened abruptly. He clutched the bottle in his palm and his entire body was enveloped in coldness.
Pregnancy preparation? The relationship between her and Horace had already come to this extent?
After three years, was Stella surprisingly planning to use the same means to marry into the Jason family!
…
Along the way, Stella was depressed and when she arrived home, she opened the door.
“Darling, you’re back, surprise!”
The fireworks exploded in the air. Then, a man who was holding roses appeared.
Stella was speechless.
Liam was speechless.
The two people were a little embarrassed. Only after a long time did Liam dryly laugh twice and silently put away the roses in his hand, “Sorry, I thought it was Sherry.”
Stella said, “There are many works in the magazine publisher recently. Sherry probably will come back slightly later than usual.”
“Ah…my bad. I was originally going to give her a surprise.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I won’t tell her. If she sees the surprise you’ve prepared for her, she’ll be very happy. I’ll go out first then, I won’t disturb you guys.”
Liam symbolically kept her from leaving, “Or I’ll do it next time. Sherry will scold me if she knows it.”
Stella smiled, “I have something to do. Help me to tell Sherry that I won’t come back tonight.”
“Then let me see you off.”
“No need, I’ll just take a cab.”
Knowing how to behave in a delicate situation, Stella left after she finished speaking.
Liam was Sherry’s boyfriend since they were in college. Their relationships were very close and last year, Liam was sent abroad by the company and he would go at least two years. Now, it seemed that he had come back in advance.
The two of them had not seen each other for so long so they must have a lot of things to talk about and do. Wasn’t she an eyesore to stay there like a third wheel.
Stella found a café and sat inside. She began to browse the rental information.
Gradually, the sky outside darkened.
Stella moved her neck and went to find a place to eat.
Halfway through her meal, she received a call from Sherry, “Stella, where are you.”
“I’m eating out, have you gone back.”
“Yes…That bastard by the name of Liam tries to give me surprise. He has almost scared me out of my wits. I thought someone has broken in, my fists were clenched tightly.”
Although Sherry was complaining, it was not difficult to feel that her tone of speaking was sweet and happy.
Stella laughed, “Don’t scold him anymore. It isn’t easy for him to come back, celebrate nicely tonight.”
“We’ve been together for four to five years and we’re already like a long-time married couple, what for to celebrate. Stella, you better come back to stay tonight, I’ll let him go out to stay in a hotel.”
“Don’t like that, it is fine for me to live outside. How can I disturb you guys to enjoy with each other.”
Hearing this, Sherry was a little shy, “What are you talking about…Then you must be careful if you stay outside, send me the address of the hotel later.”
“Okay, sure. Go and do your thing.”
After hanging up the phone, Liam wrapped Sherry’s waist from her back and asked worriedly, “She won’t come back, right?”
Sherry patted his arm, “You still dare to say it. Why do you come back without telling me? See, it’s so embarrassing now.”
“I don’t know that she is staying at our place. The reason I did all this is to give you a surprise, I wouldn’t have done it if I knew. Well, darling, it’s my fault, don’t be angry.”
Sherry turned around and hugged him, “I’m not blaming you. I’m just a little worried to let her stay outside alone.”
“She’s already an adult, don’t need to worry about her. Don’t mention her anymore, it’s been so long since we saw each other, don’t you miss me?” Liam’s hands began to move on her body.
“I was about to ask you, didn’t you say that it would at least take two years before, it isn’t even a year, how come…”
Hearing this, Liam’s eyes flickered slightly. He tried to laugh to hide his emotion, “It’s because I miss you too much, I’ve mentioned this many times before the company allows me to return. You don’t know how much I’ve suffered while being alone over there.”
The light of the living room was not turned on and there was full of candles that he prepared for the surprise. So, Sherry did not notice that his expression was abnormal. She just tenderly said, “Okay, okay, I know that you’ve suffered a lot. I’ll love and treat you well in the future.”
Liam kissed her lips and said eagerly, “Don’t need to wait until the future, do it now.”
The things left in the living room were the flames of candles which were dancing.
…
After Stella arrived at the hotel, she took a shower and lay on the bed. She looked at her balance and kept the money that was used for renting the house and her daily needs. Then, she transferred all the rest to Clarence.
She then deleted all the posts about scolding Clarence that she posted in the Moments which were only visible to Winnie. What was the use of scolding him for a period, she was still manipulated by him though.
Before going to bed, Stella poured a cup of hot water. She originally wanted to take the folic acid but after rummaging through her bag, she still could not find it.
As if she had lost her energy, she sat on the bed and felt that all her nerves were throbbing with pain.
She went to many places today so she did not know where did she lose her thing.
The crucial point was that she also went to Clarence’s office.
After Stella had calmed down for a while, she decided to feel him out carefully.
She found Clarence’s number on the blacklist and called it using the telephone in the hotel. It took quite a long time before the call was answered.
“Mr. Conrad…it’s me.”
