Stella opened the door. When she was going to go downstairs, she was stopped by a maid waiting at the door.
The maid said, “Ms. Radomil, there are some distinguished guests downstairs, so you can’t go down now. I will send your breakfast here later.”
Stella didn’t ask any question when she heard this. She simply nodded her head gently, “Thank you.”
Stella then came back to her bedroom. She sat down in front of the desk and opened her manuscript book.
When she turned to the manuscript of the necklace she designed for the charity party, she was a bit stunned.
Maybe that necklace would be like the man in those scratched photos. They were all nowhere to be found and even though she found them back, the results would remain the same.
Expect for leaving this place, she didn’t have any idea or wish about any other matter at present.
At the downstairs….
Although Dempsey was not satisfied with Clarence and Phoebe’s marriage, he couldn’t refuse the temptation of such a big company as the Steward Group.
Charles Steward only had one daughter – Phoebe. As long as she married Clarence, the Steward would be naturally taken control by the Conrad Group.
This company was much better than the Jason Group, which was only powerful on the surface.
But Dempsey hadn’t expected that Charles would still agree with the marriage after last night’s scandal and went to the Conrad family in person to discuss the details of the wedding.
Naturally, he would not refuse such a good thing.
Moreover, even though Clarence married Phoebe, his child was still under Dempsey’s control.
Although this marriage would bring some troubles to him, it also brought more benefits.
Dempsey said, “Now that we’ve decided on the date of the wedding, we just need to arrange the venue and the wedding dress and suit. It’s not a difficult thing. We will deal with this. Mr. Steward, you’re in poor health, and in this way, you will not need to be busy arranging the wedding.”
As if he wanted to chime in with Dempsey, Charles cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Conrad, you’re right. But Phoebe is my only daughter and this is the main affair of her life. I need to do something by myself.”
Phoebe sat beside him, “Dad, please rest assured. Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad and Clare are all good to be. The wedding will not disappoint you.”
Charles said, “This is your wedding. And the most important thing is that you will like it.”
When speaking, Charles looked towards Dempsey with a touch of seriousness on his face, “I know that Clarence married a woman before. Now that they have divorced, their marriage is also a past. I won’t say anything more about that. I just hope that he will treat Phoebe well after marrying her and take the marriage seriously.”
Dempsey nodded his head, “Of course he will.”
After getting an answer from Dempsey, Charles looked towards the man who was sitting opposite him with coldness written all over his face and hadn’t spoken since they came here, “Clarence, can you do that?”
Clarence looked up at him. But he didn’t reply.
Seeing this, Phoebe hurriedly wrapped her arms around Charles’, “Dad, please rest assured. Clarence will definitely do that.”
Right at this moment, Justin got a word in, “Mr. Steward, please be tolerant to Clarence in the future.”
Charles chuckled, “As long as he doesn’t hurt Phoebe, I won’t intervene in his affairs no matter what he’s doing.”
It was a powerful understatement.
Undoubtedly, it was a kind of warming.
Justin nodded his head with a smile, “Mr. Steward, you’re right.”
Charles stood up, “Since we’ve basically reached an agreement on this matter, I will leave first. As for the things related to the wedding, just let Clarence and Phoebe decide on them.”
Dempsey also stood up with the support of his walking stick. When he was about to spoke, Charles continued, “On the way here I heard from someone that Clarence’s ex-wife is also living in this house, right?”
Dempsey’s expression changed slightly when he heard the words. He didn’t admit it, nor did he deny it.
Charles continued, “I will not intervene in the affairs of the Conrad family. It’s just that Clarence and Phoebe will get married one month later, so it’s emotionally and logically unreasonable to let his ex-wife live here anymore. What do you think of it, Mr. Conrad?”
Under such a circumstance, Dempsey couldn’t tell Charles that Stella was pregnant. He could only swallow his reluctance, “Mr. Steward, you’re right.”
“Not a big deal.” Charles waved his hand, “Phoebe, although your marriage with Clarence has been decided. No matter what, I will not let you suffer any grievance. I will make arrangements for the things after the Conrad family sends his ex-wife away. Just leave those matters to me.”
“Dad, are you planning to…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her. I just plan to send her away.”
Phoebe curled her lips into an inexplicable smile, “Thank you, dad.”
Charles nodded his head. When he was about to get on the car, he looked up subconsciously,
There seemed to be a familiar figure standing by the window at the distance.
He was stunned and burst into coughing again.
Phoebe asked, “What’s wrong, dad?”
Charles looked over again and found that there was no one by the window.
He said, “Nothing. Maybe I mistook it.”
“Then let’s go.”
When Charles got in the car, Phoebe turned around and looked in the direction that he looked at just now. It was Stella’s bedroom.
She went to the Conrad Group to find Clarence last night.
Clarence promised her that their wedding would be held one month later and that he would disclose the news to the media. But the premise was that she should take Stella out of the Conrad family.
She guessed that Clarence would arrange his men to pick up Stella later. Nonetheless…
Was it that easy?
Phoebe pulled herself back to reality and got on the car too.
