Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 124

Stella looked at the jewelry box that fell next to her feet - the necklace in it had broken into two pieces, scattering on the ground.

It wasn’t until now did Phoebe came back to her senses. In a hurry, she said, “Annie, what are you doing...”

Annie said, “Phoebe, this woman faked her pregnancy to force my cousin Clarence to marry her. Then she tried every possible mean to hit on Horace.”

“Ms. Radomil isn’t such a person. Annie, did you misunderstand something?”

Annie laughed out ironically. She stared at Stella and said, “You are so good at pretending. With your skin, others don’t know what kind of person you are.”

“Well...”

Stella slowly turned around and looked at Annie calmly, “What kind of person am I?”

“Don’t you know yourself? After you divorced Clarence, you pestered Horace. Now Horace has engaged to me, you are still pestering him. You can’t live without men, can you?”

Stella slightly smiled and said, “If I did keep pestering Horace, do you think you still could get engaged?”

Annie gritted her teeth fiercely, “You finally admit it!”

“What can’t I admit? You’re always afraid that Horace would be snatched by me one day, aren’t you? Since you are so fearful, why don’t I just make your wish come true?”

“You...”

Annie raised her hand and wanted to slap her, but she was stopped by Phoebe, “Annie, don’t be reckless.”

Annie had already lost her mind right now, “Since she could say such shameless words, no matter what happens, she deserves it!”

Phoebe frowned, “It’s such a big occasion today. Horace and his parents are also there. If you made a scene, it would be bad for you.”

Upon hearing it, Annie calmed down a lot. She wasn’t afraid of what Phoebe had said. It was just because Clarence was also in the hall.

If he knew that she slapped Stella, he definitely would give her a hard time.

Annie drew her hand. She cast a glance at Stella’s belly, an idea coming up to her.

Right then, there was a mess in the banquet hall. One subordinate came over and whispered to Phoebe in her ear. Her face slightly changed. When she turned around and was about to go back, she looked over at Stella, “Ms. Radomil, probably you should come with me. Something went wrong with the auction item from SG Jewelry Magazine.”

After they all left the scene, a figure walked out of the corner. The person stood motionlessly for a moment, looking over at the broken necklace. After a few seconds of thought, the person picked it up, put it in the pocket, and turned away.

The charity auction.

Pieces of jewelry of SG Jewelry Magazine were exhibited according to the sequences. When it was the turn of Stella’s design, not only Stanford looked surprised, but also Modesty walked up. She said in confusion, “Isn’t it the necklace I designed particularly for Miss Steward...”

Although she didn’t speak loudly, her words raised a huge uproar in the quiet banquet hall.

All the attendees started to discuss in low voices, “What’s SG Jewelry Magazine doing? How could they present the customized necklace in an auction?”

“Wait... Isn’t it supposed to be Ms. Radomil’s design? How come? What on earth happened?”

“Ms. Radomil? Is she the designer who was the mistress of a rich man? I went to the new product launch event of SG Jewelry Magazine last time. She’s indeed quite beautiful. It’s not bad to have such a plaything.”

Right after the person finished speaking, he felt a cold and sharp gaze. When he turned around, he couldn’t find anything.

Upon hearing those discussions, Stanford was the most troubled one.

Before the jewelry was delivered, he had checked and confirmed it a few times. There were no problems at all.

He found Modesty and asked with a frown, “What happened?”

Modesty shook her head, “I don’t know either. But, I found my designed necklace was gone. Miss Steward didn’t inform me that she has taken it. Mr. Leif, I’ve seen Ms. Radomil’s end product earlier. It shouldn’t be her.”

Stanford didn’t expect that she would explain for Stella, so he fell into the silence for a moment.

Frankly speaking, Modesty was the biggest suspect for this incident.

Stanford looked over at Modesty thoughtfully. The latter looked quite easy, not guilty at all.

He said, “Modesty, let’s go to explain to Jason Group together. We should try our best to limit the influence of this event.”

“Sure.”

When Stella and Phoebe walked into the banquet hall, the host had announced that the auction was paused. Everyone was talking about this incident.

The rumor that she was a mistress of a rich man was talked about again. Some of them even said that her designs were all plagiarized, so it was her karma that such an incident happened this time. Some of them said the reason why SG Jewelry Magazine backed her up several times was that she had affairs with some senior executives.

Those people said quite affirmatively as if they truly had the evidence.

Annie stood aside with her arms across her chest. She said sarcastically, “What can’t she do? She always takes others as her own. This is not the first time.”

Phoebe said in a low voice, “Annie, stop saying that. The truth of the matter hasn’t been found out. Don’t slander others.”

“She knows herself if it’s a slander or truth.”

Stella wasn’t in the mood to argue with Annie meaninglessly. She found a coworker from SG Jewelry Magazine in the crowd and asked, “Where is Mr. Leif?”

“Hi, Ms. Radomil?” The coworker looked quite surprised when seeing her. Then immediately, he answered, “I saw Mr. Leif and Modesty go to talk to Mr. Jason.”

Stella asked, “Where were they heading to?”

“The VIP lounge.”

Stella nodded at him for appreciation. She turned around and said to Phoebe, “Miss Steward, I’m sorry. Please excuse me.”

Phoebe said, “Let me go with you.”

Stella was about to refuse, but she added, “After all, the incident has something to do with me as well.”

“All right.”

In the VIP lounge, George also heard a lot of rumors about Stella. He looked obviously angry, “What are you doing? How come you’ve sent such a designer’s product for auction? And even such an incident happened!”

Stanford said, “Mr. Jason, I’m quite sorry for what happened. But, you’ve misunderstood our designer. The rumors are not real. Besides, the jewelry for auction was indeed designed by her. There should be some mistakes in between...”

“I don’t care. You’ve ruined my charity banquet. I’ve asked my men to take down her jewelry. You’d better give us a clarification for this event later.”

Stanford frowned, “Mr. Jason if you’ve put down all her jewelry in this way without any explanation, you would make others misunderstand her...”

George interrupted him coldly, “It’s none of my business.”
