Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 20

Clarence’s voice became colder by the minute, “In your eyes, do you really think that any woman with my baby is allowed to marry into the family?”

“I am doing all this for your own good! Or do you want your child to become an orphan out there? Back then, you…”

“You don’t need to remind me of that. I won’t allow that kind of thing to happen.”

After saying that, Clarence directly hung up the phone.

He gazed at the divorce certificate on the table for some time, and then he suddenly stood up and placed it in his pocket. Then, he marched out of his office.

…

In the SG Jewelry Magazine, Stella had been maintaining her composure throughout the whole press conference. She didn’t avoid any of those sharp questions thrown at her by the reporters.

She was not a star, so she didn’t need clout to support her, and she didn’t have any stakes on herself too. She just wanted to make sure that the damage could be reduced further before everything was too late. She just wanted to clear her name and SG Jewelry Magazine’s name.

One of the reporters asked, “Miss Sharon, since you said that the story of you interfering with another’s marriage is just a rumour. Can you provide an explanation for your disappearance three years ago?”

“I got married.”

“Then, is your husband that rich man as depicted by that post…”

Stella interjected, “I’m sorry but I can’t disclose any information about my ex-husband to you. What I am trying to say is, before me and my ex-husband got together and got married, we were both single man and woman.”

Another reporter was quick to grasp that she was using the word “ex-husband”, so he dished out several questions concerning her marriage as well.

Stella simply laughed and began to explain, “The reason we are here is to clear that rumour hanging around on the internet. I don’t think I should explain more about my personal life.”

Her sentence successfully shut those reporters up. Her reasoning was indeed convincing.

Stella was not a public figure, so she didn’t have the duty to expose her personal life to the public. Things developed to this state because everyone thought that she was a shameless mistress. That was why everyone started to boycott her in the first place.

Now that she had personally cme to explain, and she was also backed by SG Jewelry Magazine, the reporters who attended the press conference had a good relationship with the magazine. Naturally, no one wanted to offend them.

After the press conference, news about it was published in no time.

The SG Jewelry Magazine made an announcement at the same time that the rumours on the internet were baseless. The magazine would pursue this matter and sue the perpetrator of this rumour, and they would accept all refunds. They hoped that everyone would continue supporting their work in the future.

After that announcement, a plethora of fashion blogger and artists reposted the news to show their support.

In no time, the three designs of the “Puppy Love’ Series” had their sales volume ramping up again instead of dropping further, and the rate of sales increase was three times more compared to the rate before that incident. The new orders completely filled in the void created by the previous refunds.

After the press conference, Stella dashed to the washroom first things first.

Although she looked calm and composed in the interview, her stomach was another picture of turmoil.

Sherry had to wait for more than ten minutes to see her reappear from the washroom. She asked worriedly, “Stella, are you alright?”

Stella shook her head, her face a little pale, “Help me to inform Mr. Leif that I am to blame for today’s incident, and that I am really sorry. If the magazine wants to terminate me, I am ready to sign my name anytime.”

“What nonsense are you spouting now? Any sensible person would see at a glance that someone is purposely targeting you. There is no way Mr. Leif would terminate you just because of this. Moreover, if he really wants to terminate you, he wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of holding a press conference for you. He could have announced to the public that you are responsible for everything.”

“I…”

Stella wanted to say something, but she was once again overwhelmed by a nauseating feeling. However, she wasn’t able to pour out anything from her stomach this time.

She rubbed her stomach helplessly. This little one was really a hot-tempered one.

Sherry brought her a cup of warm water, “Stella, let me send you home for now.”

At this time, a few employees of the SG Jewelry Magazine went past them. They were engaged in a hushed discussion.

“What do you think is the reason the Conrad Group is willing to help us this time? They are even prepared to send out their ace, the PR department. Not even Winnie could make this happen.”

“That’s right, no matter what happens, Winnie is still the ever popular actress. She is also the number one looker under the Conrad flag. Back then, when her scandal was permeating, the Conrad Group didn’t even send out their PR team.”

“I heard from a friend that Winnie’s team had asked for help from the president of the Conrad Group. They wanted the PR team to lend them a hand, but guess what did the president say? ‘You should resolve your own problems, if you can’t do that, just leave the entertainment circle.’”

“That is way too cold.”

“Hey, you guys are talking about something that is so out-dated. Winnie’s incident happened two years ago. Now, that president of the Conrad Group is someone who values and treasures women.”

A few other employees had their attention captured by these gossips.

Even Stella and Sherry were attracted by what they were saying.

One of them revealed, “You guys know about Vivian, right? She is the latest model being backed by the Conrad Group, and it turns out that she is actually Mr. Conrad’s favourite. A while ago, Vivian’s team wanted to occupy the cover page of our magazine, but Mr. Leif thought that she wasn’t suited for that, so he had refused them. However, when the “Puppy Love’ Series” was in preparation stage, Vivian got news of it and she wanted the magazine to collaborate with her and make her the cover girl.”

“I heard the same thing too. In the end, Mr. Leif has rejected her. However, Mr. Conrad is present at the press conference yesterday. I heard that he wanted to buy the “Puppy Love’ Series” as a gift. Do you think he is going to give it to Vivian? He must be trying to fight for her chance to be the cover girl.”

“Following that line of thought, does that mean the Conrad Group is trying to help us by sending their PR team this time because that wanted the SG Jewelry Magazine to owe them one. Maybe he is doing this to make way for Vivian’s future? Mr. Conrad is really a thoughtful one.”

They continued to gossip as they disappeared out of sight.

Sherry couldn’t help cursing, “I can’t believe that despicable couple is blatantly showing off their love. That’s disgusting!”

Stella put her hands on the divorce certificate in her bag and thought that the saying was true: A man’s words are full of lies.

If one could really rely on men, even a pig can climb the trees.

If he really didn’t have any intimate relationship with Vivian, she would rather cut off her own leg.

Stella pulled herself out of her thoughts and said, “Sherry, go back to your work. I have something else to attend to, so I need to go somewhere.”

Although she came out of this incident alive, and the conclusion was satisfying, she still had a score to settle with someone.

However, the moment she exited SG Jewelry Magazine, her phone immediately rang.

She stared at the blinking screen without accepting the call.

After a while, the phone finally died down.

She had made it clear last time that no matter the reasons, there was no reason for her to meet and contact with Horace again.

When Stella was about to hail a taxi, her phone rang again.

She was even more reluctant to answer this call.

This bastard was really a liar. He was very annoying.

Stella directly blacklisted his phone number.
