New Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again

[Viet Writer]

Chapter 35: Getting Married to Clarence for So Long​

Dream on.


Clarence pressed the intercom and spoke coldly, “Contact SG Jewelry Magazine and ask how much is Stella’s penalty for breach of contract.”


“Alright.”


A few minutes later, Clarence received a reply from Nathan, “Mrs. Conrad’s contract was personally signed by the boss of SG Jewelry Magazine and only he knows the exact content of the contract and the penalty for breach of contract.”


And the boss of SG Jewelry Magazine was now on vacation in Greece.


He picked up his clothes and got up, “Book the latest flight ticket to Greece.”


Nathan answered and hurriedly went to handle it.


Seeing that Mr. Conrad could not even wait for a minute, Nathan almost forgot he sternly reprimanded him ten minutes ago for always mentioning SG Jewelry Magazine although the cooperation had ended for so many years.


A week later, Stella was discharged from the hospital.


She had actually recovered a long time ago but both Sherry and Channing told her to rest for a few more days. She felt like her limbs were going to become vestigial if she continued lying in bed.


What Stella did not expect was that when she was discharged from the hospital, Horace came.


Sherry pulled Channing away, leaving time for the two of them.


After keeping silent for a few seconds, Stella raised her lips, “Thank you for the matter before.”


Horace said, “Stella, you never have to say these two words to me.”


Stella let out a breath and felt that the atmosphere between them was getting awkward. She did not want to stay here, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first…”


“Stella, I have something to tell you.”




“Do you know who the sponsor for the Young Designers’ Contest was three years ago.”


When Stella was about to speak, Horace continued, “Origin is just a subsidiary. The real master behind it is the Conrad Group.”


Hearing this, Stella was stunned for a moment, “What do you mean?”


“I hear that you went to Francis who was the manager of Origin at that time, wanting to exchange the financial support to study in Paris for money. Francis had no problem with it and even helped you to apply but in the end, it was rejected. In other words, the person who rejected you was Clarence.”


It took Stella two minutes to digest the fact that the capitalist who capitalized her for not having a dream was Clarence. She laughed faintly, “What can I do even if I know this, it was already a matter of three years ago, not to mention that Clarence doesn’t owe me anything so it’s normal for him to reject.”


Horace grabbed her shoulders and his eyes slightly reddened, “Stella, if it wasn’t because of him, you wouldn’t have had to encounter those matters. We could also…”


Stella calmly pulled down his hands, “Horace, maybe I haven’t clarified clearly enough. Even if I didn’t marry Clarence, we wouldn’t be able to make it to the end.”


“Why not?”


“I was thinking of it in a too ideal way before and I’ve overlooked the gap between the two of us.”


Horace frowned, “Stella, those aren’t problems.”


Stella said, “Those are problems, big problems. If I didn’t marry Clarence, maybe I would have longed for the future. But because I married him, I realized that transforming into a lofty swan from an ugly duckling isn’t as simple as what I thought. I don’t want to suffer those mock and ridicule anymore.”


“That’s because he doesn’t love you. If he loves you, he wouldn’t let you be bullied by them.”


Stella was speechless.


Although this statement was reasonable, she felt slightly bad to hear it being pinpointed directly.


When Stella was about to speak again, a figure rushed over and slapped her face, “Stella, won’t you feel ashamed of yourself!”


Instantly, the taste of iron spread in her mouth.






The tip of Stella’s tongue pressed against the place where blood was spilling. She raised her hand to slap the person also.


Annie probably did not expect that she would slap her so after freezing for a while, she was about to get back at her but as soon as she moved, she was stopped by Horace.


He warned, “Annie, if you continue, don’t blame me for being rude.”


“Horace, can’t you see she hit me, you…”


Stella said coldly, “The dog hit me first.”


Annie wanted to move again but her hand was pulled by Horace. Her face suddenly turned red, “Stella, I’ve already told you, Horace is mine, mine! You still shamelessly seduce him, you asked for it!”


Horace pursed his lips, “Annie, let me tell you one more time. I don’t have any relationship with you.”


“What you’ve said is in vain! The marriage between our families is already being discussed, you’ll be together with me sooner or later!”


Since Annie returned from overseas, she passionately chased Horace every day. Horace was fed up with it.


The parents of the Jason family who originally did not like Annie suddenly agreed to their relationship. This made Annie directly felt that they would certainly get married so she chased Horace even more enthusiastically.


Stella did not bother her and said to Horace, “I’ll leave first.”


“Stella…”






Seeing her walking away, Horace lowered his head. He could not even handle the mess here now so what qualification did he have to keep her from leaving.


Annie locked his arm in hers, “Horace, let’s go shopping. I ordered a bag a few days ago, it should have arrived…”


Horace coldly shrugged off her hand, “Annie, you’re a woman. I don’t want to say bad words to you, I don’t like and won’t marry you. If you treat Stella disrespectfully again, I won’t be polite to you anymore.”


Annie’s eyes widened and she said hatefully, “Because of Stella, isn’t it? The reason why you don’t like me is because of her. Without her, you…If I’ve known this earlier, I should have pushed her harder to let her die!”


Horace frowned, “What have you done to Stella?”


Hearing this, Annie was a bit jumpy. Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, she pushed Horace away, “Nothing! I didn’t do anything to her. That bitch deserved it! It was her fault for shamelessly getting married to Clarence and now she’s seducing you again, I won’t let her go!”


After Annie finished speaking, she quickly ran away.


Horace stood in the same place. His hands that were hanging beside his body slowly clenched.


…


On the way back, Stella leaned against the car window and kept looking at the scene outside. She looked obscure and was apparently thinking of something.


Sherry wanted to speak several times to liven up the atmosphere but she was entirely stopped by Channing from doing so.


Let her be alone for a while.


Just like what Stella and Horace said, Clarence did not owe her so it was normal that he would reject her request.


Although she kept telling herself that she could not force herself to ask for something that was not hers, her sanity was annihilated eventually.


She could not help but think that what she requested was not an immoral request. She won first place in the contest and due to the reality factors, she could not go to Paris. She just wanted to try her best to obtain what she really needed which was within the reasonable range.


How could she be criticized without mercy that she was worthless and was also criticized for not having a dream.


If it was not because the reality was too cruel, who did not want to pursue the dream.


After getting married to Clarence for so long, she knew that he was an impersonal and extremely cold-blooded person so she had never had the intention to ask for something.
