As soon as Stella arrived at the studio the next morning, a young woman came up with an invitation letter and
whispered, “Stella, this was sent over by Conrad Group just now.”
Stella froze, “Conrad Group?”
As she spoke, she opened the invitation letter.
It was about the anniversary celebration.
Stella turned her head to look at Clarence, “Do you know about this?”
Caesar strode to the office, “Yes.”
Stella followed him and closed the office door, “Then…will you attend?”
Clarence looked at her and spoke in a relaxed tone, “Dear, this is for you, not for me.”
Stella was speechless.
He was really good at passing the buck.
About the matter of Clarence stepping down as the president of Conrad Group, after a month, things had slowly
transformed from being discussed widely to being forgotten. People have their own life to mind about.
The employees in Conrad Group also gradually accepted the fact that the president of Conrad Group had changed
from Clarence to Justin.
In fact, the change of personnel at the top management of the company did not really matter to them. As long as
they did not sack employees or deduct salaries, everything would be fine.
It was proved that the overall situation of the company was stable without any chaos. Everything was operating as
usual in the past in an orderly manner.
From the role of a forgotten eldest son of the Conrad family, Justin instantly turned into the hot topic of various
banquets and parties in City N.
However, people’s comments about him were a far cry from Clarence’s.
One was arrogant, supercilious and brazen while the other was gentlemanly, elegant and polite.
The comments were obviously polarized.
No wonder one was the eldest son of the Conrad family while the other was illegitimate.
The anniversary celebration this time was undoubtedly just to bring these people together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJustin perhaps also knew Clarence’s personality and temper in which he definitely would not attend. Thus, he
directly had someone send the invitation to Stella.
As for Clarence, as long as Stella went, he would definitely go along.
Stella put aside the invitation. When Joanna died, she had said that she and the Conrad family would have no
connection anymore.
Thus, there was no such thing as she would find it difficult to refuse to attend for the sake of Justin.
In the following two days, Nathan came several times to report to Clarence about the work in Auckland.
When Nathan left, he just happened to meet the situation where Clarence bought dessert for Stella but she could
not finish it so Nathan was asked to take the rest away.
Although Stella would often bring them food when she went to Conrad Tower previously, this time, Nathan had a
weird feeling but could not tell where exactly it was weird.
Probably because when he took away the food, Clarence’s eyes that looked at him seemed to be amiable.
It was scary.
After Nathan left with uneasiness, Stella finally could not help but be curious, “Didn’t you already give Conrad Group
to Justin? What kind of work you have…in Auckland.”
Clarence raised his eyebrows, “You want to know?”
Stella seemingly could anticipate his next sentence so she immediately withdrew her gaze, “I don’t.”
Clarence said, “I remember someone says that when a woman says she doesn’t want to, it means she wants.”
He did not remember the good words but he remembered the nonsense quite clearly.
Seeing that she was really not going to ask, Clarence uttered slowly, “When I went for a business trip to Auckland
three years ago, I randomly invested in a project in my own name.”
Out of curiosity, Stella asked, “What happened later?”
“Later, after that project appeared on the market, its stock price skyrocketed and I became the largest
shareholder.”
Stella was speechless.
Damn these rich person.
Stella lowered her head and intended not to bother with him anymore.
Two days later.
Nathan went back to Conrad Tower and handed his resignation to Justin.
Justin sighed soundlessly, “Won’t you think about it more?”
“Thank you for your trust, Young Master Justin. With my qualifications, I’m not eligible to become the vice president
of Conrad Group.”
“It seems that among Conrad Group and Clare, you’ve chosen him.”
Nathan did not respond and only nodded slightly.
Justin put his resignation letter on the table, “Since so, I won’t force you to stay. However, the anniversary
celebration will be held a few days later. You should be more familiar with the process than me and many works
can only be handled by you. How about this, you leave after the anniversary celebration is over, okay?”
Since Justin had already requested in this manner, Nathan had no reason to refuse.
“Sure, Young Master Justin.”
Justin handed him a few documents, “These are the documents of the two partner companies that we’re
negotiating with recently. You go and check the details. Also, as I don’t know much about the processes of the
anniversary celebration, I asked them to draft a proposal for the time being. You see which part is not suitable and
can just directly replace it, don’t need to tell me.”
Nathan took it with both hands, “Alright.”
After taking these things back to the office, Nathan turned over the first document on the top. the Barret’s
information was written on it.
Nathan roughly flipped through the following pages and opened another folder. It was about the company under
Caesar’s name.
These two people…
When Mr. Conrad was at Conrad Group, they wanted to get the new project of Conrad Group. Now that Mr. Conrad
was gone and they seized the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Nathan then flipped through the process list of the anniversary celebration. In addition to the routine sessions as in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprevious years, there was an additional charity banquet initiated by Conrad Group.
When Nathan looked at the list of items to be auctioned, he could not help but stare at the introduction of one item.
At night, Clarence received a call from Nathan.
His tone was indifferent. Instead of the simple and concise word "speak", he said, “What’s the matter.”
Nathan answered, “Mr. Conrad, the anniversary celebration of Conrad Group has an additional charity banquet.
One of the items that is to be auctioned is a ring, which was the engagement ring of a couple of the Steward family
twenty years ago. The auction item provider is Caesar.”
Caesar’s action of flipping through a book paused, “Has the origin of the ring been confirmed?”
“Yes. This ring is kept by Chassell Barret and was once displayed in a jewelry exhibition some time ago. If I’m not
wrong, Ms. Radomil should have seen it.”
Clarence spoke slowly, “It seems that we have to attend the anniversary celebration this time.”
“This must be Caesar’s trap…”
“If he has no bargaining chips, how can he set this trap?”
Nathan answered, “Alright, I’ll go make arrangements now.”
Clarence said, “Send me the picture of the ring.”
“Got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Nathan immediately sent a picture over.
Clarence tapped on it and zoomed in the picture.
At this time, Stella came out after taking a shower and asked while wiping her hair, “What are you looking at.”
Clarence put down his phone, “Nothing.”
Stella asked, “Didn’t Nathan call you?”
Clarence hesitated, “Why?”
“He submitted his resignation today and Justin agreed to it?”
“He has legs. If he wants to leave, Justin can’t stop him.”
Stella pouted. His words should mean that it was successful.
She turned around and went back into the bathroom, “I’m going to blow-dry my hair.”
