Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 18

In the backseat, Clarence didn’t even open his eyes as his cold voice came, “Throw that to the dogs.”

Nathan reminded him after a moment of silence, “Mr. Conrad, dogs can’t eat chocolate.”

“…”

In the Civil Affairs Bureau, Stella had calculated all the possible misgivings and the traffic and in order not to be late, she arrived at the entrance an hour before the stipulated time.

Compared to the section where pairs of sweet couples finally became husband and wife, it was much more desolate in the divorce section here. A few divorcees here had a look of numbness and resentment on their faces, and even the workers working here had a kind of indifference to his expression.

At this sight of this, Stella tried to force a rigid smile on her face. She never had any grudge against Clarence. They didn’t start their marriage in a good ambience, so she hoped that she didn’t have to be consumed with too much hatred as if the whole word was her enemy while she was going through this divorce.

At the thought of this, the smile on her face grew wider.

She wanted to be the happiest divorcee today.

Clarence happened to arrive at this moment and saw her face. He stopped in his tracks and he silently watched her from a far.

After some unknown period of time, the smile on her face eventually became unnatural. She took a look at the time and cursed softly, “This bastard, how can he be late for a divorce? Even the president of the country isn’t as busy as him.”

Clarence’s temples jumped slightly upon hearing that. With his lips pressed into an indifferent line, he strode towards her.

Stella heard the sounds of footsteps and when she saw him, her eyes seemed to light up, “Mr. Conrad, you’re here.”

Clarence mumbled a response and asked, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

“Not at all, I am actually touched by your investment of time in this divorce matter, seeing how busy you can be. I can wait as long as it takes.”

Seeing that she was putting on such a hypocritical face, Clarence couldn’t help snorting.

It was a waste that she didn’t dabble in the show business world.

They sat down on a window for divorce registration, and Clarence swept his gaze over Stella who was signing her name. He suddenly tightened his grip on the pen when he asked without any warning, “Stella, I will give you one last chance. Is it true that you are really pregnant?”

Stella froze for a second before looking up to meet his eyes. A smile formed on her face, “Didn’t I show you my pregnancy report not long ago?”

Under the glow of sunlight, her smile was charming and dazzling.

Clarence felt that he couldn’t discern the authenticity of her smile at that moment.

His voice gradually became cold, “Three years ago, you gave me the same thing. I trusted you at that time.”

Stella looked a little astonished and the smile on her face gradually faded. She didn’t refute him as she replied, “Didn’t you make sure to avoid pregnancy every time we do that?”

It was precisely because of this that he couldn’t tolerate her using him and lying to him time and again.

If she could come clean with him and tell him that the pregnancy was a lie, he would have been able to forgive her.

However, she didn’t seem like she would change her ways. She continued to make the same mistakes over and over again.

Clarence retrieved his gaze and signed his name without hesitation.

After exiting the Civil Affairs Bureau, Stella carefully kept her divorce certificate and with her palms clasped together, she said with a wide grin, “Mr. Conrad, happy divorcing.”

Clarence stared at her without any expression.

Stella added, “Mr. Conrad, in order to show that this is a peaceful parting, shouldn’t you say something similar and wish me happiness?”

“You can be happy on your own.”

After saying that, he immediately left her and got into his Rolls-Royce which was parked near the entrance.

Stella raised her brows as she once again took out her divorce certificate. She said to herself in a serious tone, “Stella, I wish you happiness after this divorce.”

No matter how deep Clarence’s misunderstanding was towards her, and no matter how scheming he thought she was by carrying out their divorce, she finally was able to arrive at the end of the road.

Time would prove to everyone that she simply wanted a divorce, nothing more.

In the afternoon, Stella arrived at the office of SG Jewelry Magazine.

She came here this time to discuss about the aftermath of her “Puppy Love’ Series” with Stanford. The pre-sales of the first three designs was doing very well, and SG Jewelry Magazine intended for her to add to the collection with new designs to ride the wave of this hot debut.

In the middle of the meeting, an employee suddenly came in and whispered something by Stanford’s ears. His expression changed slightly as he stood up and said to Stella, “There’s an emergency situation. I need to take my leave for a moment.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Stella nodded, “Alright.”

The moment Stanford left, Stella suddenly felt that the noise outside the meeting room suddenly became louder. The other employees had various expressions on their faces and some of them were even glancing in her direction while engaging in little talk.

The glass walls separating her and them allowed her to feel the scrutinizing and teasing gaze directedat her.

Stella messaged Sherry to find out what was happening.

After around ten minutes, Sherry didn’t reply.

Stella had a feeling that something major had happened.

Half an hour ago, the originally rising pre-sales data of the “Puppy Love’ Series” not only stopped, the data actually showed that the sales volume had dramatically dropped.

Not only that, a huge wave of refund had been requested.

In order to make sure the sales volume could be maintained, SG Jewelry Magazine had contacted several OEM factories to start the production, and they had been rushing with the production since the

press conference last night. If the orders were cancelled in large volumes, it would no doubt be a huge loss on SG Jewelry Magazine’s part.

The whole explosion began from a single post that appeared on the internet an hour ago.

Compared to the speculations by everyone that didn’t have any basis, this post detailed the story with time stamps, which in turn increased the authenticity of the whole story.

The post detailed the reason for the disappearance of Sharon, the newly signed designer of SG Jewelry Magazine, three years ago—

“Ever since she had won the award, she hooked up with a wealthy man in no time. After learning that this wealthy man was a man with family, Sharon didn’t give up just yet. She got herself pregnant after putting in a lot of effort and forced the hand of the rich man with her huge belly. The rich man’s wife couldn’t take on this humiliation, so she had parted ways with him, which allowed Sharon to be his official partner.”

“However, after marrying into the rich man’s family, the baby in Sharon’s stomach was suddenly no more. The rich man felt cheated by her, which caused his attitude towards her to become cold and indifferent. He no longer cared and talked to her, which began his parade out there fooling around with women. The reason Sharon had decided to make a comeback was because the rich man had grown completely tired of her, and he had blasted her away from his family.”

In the last part of the post, it said that ever since SG Jewelry Magazine had signed her, her first line of product which had “Puppy Love” as their theme was simply a humiliation and let down to the concept. For someone so shameless and unruly like her, someone who had hooked up with married man, she was not worthy of talking about Puppy Love, let alone becoming a jewellery designer in the first place.

Although Stella was not a member of the entertainment circle, the SG Jewelry Magazine was a well- known magazine in the nation, and it often times collaborated with the top artists, which meant the

magazine was involved in some way with the entertainment circle.

Besides, in this day and age of social media, nothing could escape the scrutiny of the public. There was never a lack of busybodies wanting to watch interesting scandal explode in front of their eyes.

“I used to love the ‘Puppy Love’ Series’, and I have pre-ordered the first three designs. However, I never thought that the designer is someone like that, and it makes me sick whenever I think of her. Luckily, I am able to get a refund as soon as possible.”
