At six o’clock in the evening, a black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the hotel.
Clarence got off, walked around to the other side, pulled the door of the car open, and reached out to the woman sitting inside, slightly raising his eyebrows.
Stella cured up her lips slightly. Putting her hand in his palm, she got off while holding the hemline of her dress.
She was wearing a light purple dress tonight, which made her skin look more fair and smooth. On her neck, there was a dedicated necklace and the pendant was the shape of a pocket watch.
After Stella stood next to Clarence, the man gave her his harm.
She took it gently.
Then they walked into the hotel together.
A lot of guests had witnessed the scene, starting to discuss with each other.
“Are they Mr. Conrad and his ex... ex-girlfriend?”
“I heard that she’s good-looking. This is the first time I have met her. She’s prettier than the movie stars.”
“It seemed they are a good match. Why did they divorce?”
“Of course for those same old stories - back then, she managed to marry into the Conrad family by her fake pregnancy. Everyone has known about it. They must divorce for this reason as well.”
“I don’t agree. If so, why did Mr. Conrad keep a high profile when chasing after her earlier?”

“You are so ignorant. Mr. Conrad’s ex-wife had legendary life experiences. I heard that she was sold into Twilight Club before.”The man who was speaking lowered his voice, “It seemed she was sold by her father. Then she met Mr. Conrad. Then things happened between a man and a woman happened between them. After one night, she went to the Conrad family.”
“But, you still didn’t answer why Mr. Conrad started chasing after her again.”
The man continued, “Don’t worry. I haven’t finished yet. Do you remember last year Mr. Conrad and Phoebe Steward called off their engagement? It’s said that the Steward family disdains him as he’s an illegitimate son and doesn’t deserve the daughter of their family, so they canceled the engagement with him.”
Right then, a voice suddenly was heard, “Then?”
“Then, coincidentally, Mr. Conrad’s ex-wife went to find Charles Steward with some keepsake, declaiming that he was Charles Steward’s biological daughter who has missed for many years. Although Charles Steward didn’t believe her, she had his latest wife’s relic as well as with Mr. Thomas’s guarantee. Hence, Charles Steward took her in the Stewards’ Mansion for some reason.”
The man paused and then continued, “Hence, if his ex-wife was the real daughter of the Steward family, how couldn’t Mr. Conrad be interested? As long as he could marry her, Steward Group would fall into his hands, wouldn’t it? It had to say that Mr. Conrad does have a long-term vision. He has easily obtained Steward Group.”
After he finished speaking, he found guests around him had kept silent for a long time. Others who were gathering around him took a few steps back and distanced themselves from him. The atmosphere fell into a dead silence.
The man turned around stiffly, seeing a face with a faint smile.
Vincent said slowly, “That’s a good story.”

“Hi, Mr... Mr. James.”
“If Clarence knew you’ve made such an encouraging story for him, he might also applause for it as well.”
The man’s expression was stiffened, “I... I also heard it from others. It’s not made by me. I didn’t mean to slander Mr. Conrad in private. I was just...”
Donald approached him and said friendly, “Spreading rumors can make you be sentenced to a maximum of three years. If you need my help, I'll give you a discount.”
The man couldn’t utter a word.
In the banquet hall.
After Stella and Clarence arrived, they saw Charles talking to Cameron. They went over and greeted them, “Good evening, Mr. Thomas. Good evening, Mr. Steward.”
Cameron nodded with a smile. When looking over at Clarence, he didn’t seem to be quite happy, “Hi, Mr. Conrad. You are here as well.”
Clarence was puzzled, wondering if he shouldn’t have been here.
Right then, Emmett also arrived, standing next to Cameron.
Clarence said indifferently, “We are going to use the restroom. Please excuse us.”
After that, he dragged Stella away.
Taking a few steps, Stella said, “Why are you taking me to the restroom with you? I don’t need to use it.”
Clarence cast her a glance, “Do you want to stay with Emmett Carter alone?”
Stella was speechless.
She didn’t expect that Clarence would be so jealous.
Besides, if she stayed, they wouldn’t stay alone. There were hundreds of guests in the banquet hall. Even if she wanted to stay with him alone, it wouldn’t be possible.
In fact, Clarence didn’t go to the restroom at all. He had just found an excuse, taking her to a less crowded corner.
Stella asked, “Do you plan to avoid me from meeting Emmett in the future?”
After a pause, she was afraid that Clarence would misunderstand her, so she added, “On such kind of occasions today.”
Clarence grabbed a glass of champagne. He said slowly, “If not necessary, you can’t meet him. Haven’t you already discussed your wedding?”
Stella let out a hollow laugh, “It happened such a long time ago. How come you still remember it so clearly?”
It was said that women liked to dig up the past, and so did men, didn’t they?
Clarence took a sip of the champagne, “I can remember things that happened tens of thousand years ago. You and...”

Before he almost spoke out that name, Clarence pressed his lips and stopped.
Stella couldn’t help smiling, realizing how much he was jealous - he even didn’t want to mention that name.
Actually, Horace and she had already ended as early as three years ago. Even after she divorced, she had never expected to be with him. She wondered why the wretched man was so petty.
Stella said, “I’m staying in the same house with your ex-fiancee, but I never give any remarks, do I?”
Clarence said indifferently, “Whom am I doing that for then?”
“Think you are quite reasonable huh?”
“Of course.”
As they were speaking, Vincent and Donald walked over, “Stop arguing. There are new rumors tonight.”
Clarence glanced at him, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Vincent answered, “Nothing. I just heard a story about how you became Stella’s boyfriend again.”
Donald waved his hand at Stella, “Hi, long time no see. Please come to me if you want to divorce in the future. Free of charge.”
Both Clarence and Stella were speechless.
When everyone was enjoying socializing, the anniversary ceremony of Steward Group officially started. Charles also walked to the stage. He talked about the company culture, development, and some official lines. The guests applauded.
Vincent said slowly, “The good show will start soon.”
Clarence echoed indifferently, “He’s not the only one who directs the show tonight.”
Upon hearing their words, Stella pressed her lips. Her gaze fell on Charles.
