Time flied.
On the day before the charity party…
When Stella came to SG Jewelry Magazine, she contacted Phoebe, telling her that the product was already finished.
Phoebe said, “I will be busy in the next two days and maybe I will not have time take it. By the way, I heard that SG will take part in the charity party tomorrow night. Ms. Radomil, you’re a jewelry designer of SG, so you will also take part in the activity, right?”
“Yep.”
“Good. Then please give it to me tomorrow.”
The charity party organized by the Jason Group targeted at those rich and powerful people, so Stella wasn’t surprised that Phoebe would also go to the party.
Stella replied, “Okay.”
Phoebe smiled, “Then see you tomorrow night.”
After ending the call, Stella put the customized necklace into her handbag and went to Stanford’s office to hand in the product for the auction of tomorrow’s charity auction.
…
In the Jason family…
Rebecca, who was collecting the jewelries for tomorrow night’s auction, sighed emotionally, “Phoebe, are you really donating these jewelry to the auction. I can’t drag myself away from them.”
Phoebe, who was sitting beside her, said, “Rebecca, I can gift you the ones you like.”
“Oh, I can’t take them. It’s for the charity auction, and I can’t take advantage of you on this matter.” Rebecca out aside the jewelry box and held up Phoebe’s hand, “I heard from Annie that you have a surprise for her. What’s that?”
“Nothing but a present for her wedding.”
Rebecca involuntarily furrowed her brows when she heard the words. She heaved a sigh, “Although the date for their wedding have been decided, I’m not sure whether the wedding can be held successfully or not.”
Phoebe asked, “What’s wrong? I heard that Annie has been behaving herself recently. I guess she won’t make a big trouble.”
“It’s true that she hasn’t made a big trouble. But you’re also clear of Horace’s personality. Although he has agreed to marry Annie, it… it was just a perfunctory agreement. He has no feelings for Annie at all. I will not worry about it if the bride-to-be were the other person who knows about the nature of the marriage between two companies and doesn’t dream of the other things she shouldn’t covet. But Annie is different. She will try all she can to get the things she wants. I’m afraid that…”
“Rebecca,” Phoebe comforted her, “It’s true that Annie doesn’t have a good sense of propriety, but I believe that as long as she doesn’t trample on Horace’s bottom line, they will live in peace with each other.”
Rebecca became more worried when mentioning about this, “By the way, Phoebe, do you know Clarence’s ex-wife?”
Phoebe replied in a soft voice, “I heard something about her before.”
“I haven’t expected that she and Horace were once in love, and she…” Rebecca kept down her voice, “She’s pregnant. Horace said that it’s not his child. But she has divorced Clarence for several months. What do you think who’s the child’s father?”
Phoebe curled her lips into a light smile, “If it’s Clarence’s child, the Conrad family won’t allow the child to be raised outside of the family.”
Rebecca nodded her head, “Yeah, I also think so. They key is that I heard that she was sold to Twilight Club back then and she forced Clarence to marry her by fake pregnancy. Clarence detests her a lot.”
She then sighed, “I really can’t understand Horace.”
Phoebe consoled her, “Let’s stop here, Rebecca. Don’t think too much of it. You’re going to deliver the baby, right?”
“It’s expected to be delivered five days later.”
“Then please take a good rest. You will be very tired on the party tomorrow night.”
Rebecca said, “So do you. You’ve helped me a lot in these days, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. That’s what I should do.”
