After a long while, she gained her sights and breathed the fresh air again.
Clarence gently patted her face, his brows furrowed tightly, “Stella, wake up.”
But Stella who was lying on the ground didn’t response.
Clarence leaned forward to check her breathes and pressed her chest again. Stella coughed out a mouthful of water. When Clarence was about to press her belly to let her spit out the rest water, Horace, who got the news not long ago and rushed to here, suddenly grabbed his hand.
Clarence said in a cold voice, “Fuck off.”
Many people walked over to watch this when they heard the commotion. Horace pressed his lips tightly. He didn’t explain it and simply said, “The doctor will be here soon.”
Clarence shoved off his hand, “I have to repeat my words. Fuck off.”
Right at this moment, Stella weakly grabbed Clarence’s hand, “I… Cough… I’m fine…”
Clarence looked down at her and found that Stella had waked up and her face was bloodless. She slightly knitted her brows, seeming to be uncomfortable at the moment.
After two second, Clarence withdrew his gaze and took back his hand. He shot an emotionless glace at Horace and then stood up and left. After Clarence’s departure, Horace walked over and supported Stella in his arms, “Stella, let me send you to the hospital.”
When Horace just held Stella in his arms, Rebecca emerged from the crowd and stopped him hastily, “Horace, what are you doing?”
“I have to send her to the hospital.”
“To hospital? Do you know what today’s banquet is for?” Rebecca took a glance at the woman in his arms, “She’s Clarence’s woman, but he doesn’t want to intervene in this. Why do you get yourself involved? It’s none of your business. Don’t forget what promise you made to father and mom before. If you screw up today’s banquet, the Jason Group will be all up.”
Rebecca continued, “She has waked up and I guess that her situation is not that serious. She just needs to have a check-up in the hospital. Leave her to me and rest assured, I will take good care of her.”
When speaking, Rebecca’s security guards took Stella from Horace’s arms.
When they were about to bring away Stella, Horace’s voice suddenly sounded, “Sister, you’re also a mother and you must have resonance for her feelings.”
Rebecca froze when she heard the words, “Horace, what did you mean?”
“Nothing. I can give her to you, but if the child in her belly is aborted without her knowing, I will not agree to this commercial marriage even if I have to offend the Conrad family openly.”
“She really… Horace, you…”
Horace continued, “It’s not my child. It’s just that I don’t want anything bad to happen on her.”
The ambulance arrived soon.
Horace watched Stella being carried onto the car and then slowly withdrew his gaze.
In the car…
Sitting beside Stella, Rebecca subconsciously bit her lower lip.
Twenty minutes ago…
Annie had been looking for Stella among the crowd for a long period of time, yet still couldn’t find her. When seeing the fuming Annie, Rebecca walked over and asked her what was going wrong.
Annie told her that Stella managed to marry into the Conrad family by fake pregnancy and she flirted with Horace after divorcing Clarence. Now she wanted to use the trick she used before and was planning to use the child in her belly as a bargaining chip to make a fuss in their engagement banquet, so that she could stop her from marrying into the Jason family.
Rebecca was older than Annie after all and she was not as impetuous as Annie. She asked Annie not to be worried and comforted her that the engagement celebration would be held as scheduled tonight. She asked Annie to leave the other things to her.
After consoling Annie, Rebecca asked a security guard to come over and asked him whether he knew about Horace’s whereabouts or not. The security guard said that he saw Horace walking towards the swimming pool together with a woman.
Rebecca immediately had a plan in her heart. Originally, she planned to save Stella at an appropriate moment because she just wanted to kill the child in her belly and didn’t want to kill Stella.
This plan was made on the spur of the moment and she didn’t have time to plan it in detailed. She hadn’t expected that the maid would happen to see Stella falling into the water. Moreover, she hadn’t expected that Clarence would come to the pool so soon.
Luckily, it seemed like Clarence really didn’t like his ex-wife and he left soon after pulling her out of the water.
