Chapter 157
Before he finished his words, he pondered for a moment and then said to the housekeeper, “Go and prepare a gift right now. I will go to the house of the Steward family to make an apology in the morning.”
In this situation, it was inevitable that the Steward family would turn against the Conrad family.
It was just that the problem was caused by Clarence, so if he took the opportunity to collaborate with the Steward family and show his goodwill, they might make peace with him.
If Charles was willing to collaborate with him, he would regain the power of managing Conrad Group again one day.
…
The next day, Stella decided to go to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine to resign after spending a night thinking about it.
There was already a lot of criticism about her and SG Jewelry Magazine in the public, plus she had been not working for a long time. If she continued to stay here, she would only bring negative influence to the company.
When Stanford received her resignation letter, he sighed as if he had expected it. Then, he only said, “You can always come back to work in SG Jewelry Magazine.”
Stella nodded with a smile, “Thank you, Mr. Leif. Thanks for taking care of me and helping me during this time.”
Stanford said, “When did I help you. Last week Sherry also asked me for resignation. What are your next plans?”
Stella said, “Maybe we will open a studio. We haven’t thought of it deeply yet.”
“Okay. I know many people in the fashion industry. If you decide to open a studio, remember to let me know and I will introduce you to some clients.
“Thank you, Mr. Leif.”
As Stella was about to leave, Stanford added, “SG Jewelry Magazine had already ordered Modesty to stop working and delved into her matter. Now we just have to wait for the investigation results to come out. Don’t worry, even if you leave, I will let you know the truth.”
“I have decided to let it go.” Stella paused for a moment before saying her words, “The only reason she did all this was that she treated me as an imaginary enemy. After I leave SG Jewelry Magazine, everything should be over."
"Ms. Radomil..."
Stella knew what Stanford wanted to say. She smiled lightly, “I’m not being forgiving either, I just owe her a favor.”
Hearing her words, Stanford did not persuade her further. He nodded, “Since you have decided to let it go, then we do not need to investigate the case further.”
The only thing was that SG Jewelry Magazine wouldn’t continue to hire Modesty as a worker as she had such a personality.
After leaving Stanford’s office, Stella was just about to go home when she heard a group of people gathered in the pantry discussing something.
“Hey, did you guys see the news? The marriage between Clarence and Phoebe is canceled. It’s said that the reason is that Mr. Conrad is an illegitimate son.”
“Oh my God, is it real? Didn’t Conrad Group refute the rumours earlier?”
“It’s an official statement issued by Conrad Group. How can it be false? It clearly states that Clarence cannot match the rich young lady from the Steward family. If Mr. Conrad didn’t ask the worker to publish such statement, who would dare to do so?”
“This statement is too astonishing. However, if Mr. Conrad is an illegitimate son, then who is his mother? I never heard of any drama in the Conrad family that Mrs. Conrad was quarrelling with the mistress also.”
“No one would know that… But compared to this, I’m actually quite curious. Do you guys know that what is the relationship between Ms. Radomil and Clarence from the Conrad family?”
Stella who was just about to leave the office was speechless.
“I am also quite curious of this. This news is not complete at all. Is there any follow-up on this story?”
“Conrad Group is a family business. There are so many people related to the company. If she appeared in the house of the Conrad family, it does not prove that she is related to the people from the Conrad family. Maybe she is only their relative.”
“But then I think she is also quite powerful to get pregnant. I think she is going to have a better position.”
“Isn’t that right? She is quite competent to have a relationship with someone from the Conrad family.”
“And that middle-aged woman who came to look for her last time looked like she came to catch Stella cheating. Stella was not embarrassed to say the woman was her ex-husband’s mother, and she was not afraid…”
Just when everyone was gossiping happily, the door to the pantry was suddenly opened.
Stella stood there with a cold look on her face.
The people who had just been discussing enthusiastically were all like roosters which had been strangled, remaining silent.
Stella glanced at them, “Why don’t you all come and ask me since you are so curious about my relationship with the Conrad family?”
The group of people could only laugh dryly, not only how to answer her question.
After all, they wouldn’t have thought that Stella would hear them gossiping about her behind her back.
This was because they had thought that she wouldn’t come to the office as she hadn’t come to SG Jewelry Magazine for a long time.
Stella said indifferently, “As I said before, the person who came to the office to look for me was my ex- husband’s mother. Now I can also tell you that she is the wife of the chairman of the Conrad Group.”
The crowd was stunned. Did she say that she was the wife of the chairman of the Conrad Group? Then wasn’t that…
Stella had no intention of waiting for them to make any kind of reaction either. After she finished speaking, she strode and left the office.
The reason that she didn’t say anything before this was because she didn’t want to make her and Clarence became the topic that everyone would discuss when they had their meal.
But now she regretted it. She had been married once only and she already felt shameful enough to have that marriage, yet many people were saying that she was a mistress of a rich businessman.
She had already quit her job anyway, so she didn’t care what they would say if they knew she was Clarence’s ex-wife.
After leaving the office, Stella let out a deep breath.
After taking two steps, she turned her head to look at the place where she had worked for six months and smiled with relief.
It was from here that she had started afresh six months ago. Standing there, she felt like she wanted to say goodbye to the past.
She averted her gaze and strode forward.
She did not turn around to look at the place again.
…
After two months, Sherry laid on the sofa and stretched herself, “Finally it’s done. I feel exhausted after busy doing this these two months.”
Stella laughed, “Alright, let’s take a break and eat something.”
When she heard of eating, Sherry instantly became energetic, “My friend recommended a Hunan restaurant to me. Let’s go there. Hey, by the way. Is Chan having winter break now? Ask him to join us.”
“Yes, he’s having a holiday now, but it seems like he’s still working part-time at the cafe. Let me ask him.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Stella grabbed her bag and texted Channing while taking her keys and closing the door, “Let’s go.”
In the past two months, she and Sherry had been busy preparing for the opening of the studio. They had a hard time finalizing the shop they would be renting and doing the renovation.
But the good thing was that they had finally got everything done before the opening of their studio.
They realized that one had to be busy and shouldn’t think about all the nonsense to enrich himself or herself
When they arrived at the Hunan restaurant, Sherry asked after ordering the food, “How is it? Will Chan come?”
Stella put down her mobile phone, “He said he was on the morning shift today and he would come over later.”
When Sherry heard Stella mentioning Channing, she couldn’t help but try to ask for his matter, “Eh, Channing has been in college for half a year. Hasn’t he fallen in love with anyone?”
