Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 116

“I don’t need you to teach me.” Modesty said in a mocking tone, “You must be very complacent, right? Although I replaced you to be the first prize of the Young Designers' Contest and studied in Paris for three years, I’m still inferior to you. Stop pretending. You must be laughing at me in your heart, right?”

Stella retorted, “You’re really funny. I never have such a thought and never want to compete with you. It’s you who secretly compared yourself with me. On the one hand, you know that you’re inferior to me in strength; on the other hand, you think that you studied in Paris before and I should be inferior to you.”

She continued, “No matter it be the first prize of Young Designers' Contest, or the opportunity to study in Paris, they happened three years ago. It was you who refuse to let go of these and keep using this matter to make a trouble.”

Modesty retorted, “Sounds like you’re a righteous person, but everyone knows that you abandoned this opportunity for the sake of money. Do you think that you’re nobler than me? I don’t think my creation is inferior to yours. It’s just that I’m not as lucky as you.”

Stella smiled lightly and chose not to argue with her anymore. She turned around and then left.

Thanks to Modesty, otherwise, she would never be able to hear others praise her good luck.

After Stella’s departure, Modesty bit her lower lip while taking a glance at the necklace in the waste container.

…

When Stella walked pass the door, she was stopped by Stanford.

Stanford said, “Ms. Radomil, what a coincidence, I want to talk with you about something.

The Jason family organized a charity party to auction jewelry and raised some jewelry from rich ladies for the auction. And all the benefits generation from the auction party would be used in charitable activities.

Naturally, as a first-class jewelry magazine in the country, SG Jewelry Magazine received an invitation to the auction party.

Stanford discussed it with his boss and decided to take a piece of jewelry that the magazine had been collecting for a long time to the party. They also decided to let Stella and Modesty bring their designs to the party. In this way, it could only help SG Jewelry Magazine win favorable impression from the public, but also help the two designers gain popularity in the jewelry industry of the country so that they would get more clients of advanced customization.

It was just that the charity party would be helped in the next weekend and there was not much time left for them.

Stanford said, “You can take the works you designer before to this auction party, every style is welcomed.”

Stella nodded her head, “I see.”

…

After coming back home, Stella sat down before the desk and began to modify Phoebe’s design drawing. Then she uncontrollably thought of what Stanford told her today.

Ever since she married Clarence until she divorced him and joined SG Jewelry Magazine, she had never picked up her drawing pens. Therefore, she didn’t design anything in the past three years. As for the jewelry she designed three years ago… When she had a look at them now, she felt dissatisfied with them.

Luckily, whenever she had a light bulb moment, she would record it on the notebook.

Stella leafed through her notebook and found that the most impressive inspiration for her was the one recorded on the page that was ripped down before.

Stella randomly rummaged the things on the desk and accidently knocked off a thing.

She picked it up from the ground and found that it was the pocket watch they found from Jeffrey’s leather suitcase.

Stella opened the pocket watch. Looking at the group photos of them three, she gently rubbed the edge of the watch, seeming to be lost in her thoughts.

After a short while, she suddenly put down the pocket watch and opened her painting and began to sketch the drawing.

When she finished the drawing, Stella stretched her arms lazily.

She took a glance at the clock and found it was already eleven o’clock.

After that thing, Alisa, a maid in the house, never reminded her to have dinner again. She simply put the dishes she prepared in the pot and used soft fire to keep it hot.

Stella then went downstairs to have dinner.

When she finished the dinner, it was already half past eleven.

Clarence hadn’t come back.

Stella hesitated for a while and then sent Nathan a message: [Is Clarence still working in the company?]
