Chapter 3: All She Wanted was to Get Married into the Conrad Family​

“Is that so, but no matter how unbearable it is. It’s still incomparable with the mistress who wants to ruin other’s marriage.” Stella’s listless words made Vivian startled for several seconds and she only reacted after that. She was so mad that her face went pale and she raised her hand, wanting to slap her.


Stella snatched her wrist and gave her a hard slap in the face without hesitance. “I didn’t argue with you before because getting pregnant with Clarence’s child is your own ability, but that doesn’t mean you can use this to keep on bragging in front of me. Why, do you feel that superior being a mistress?”


Stella’s slap had caught many attentions from people around them. Vivian’s face flushed and went pale at the same time. She wanted to retrieve her hand but she could not match Stella’s strength. She yelled, “Don’t you make unfounded accusation against me, I’m not a mistress, it’s you shameless enough to refuse letting the position as Mrs. Conrad go. You disgust Clarence!”


“Don’t you think that what you said is kind of illogical? Shameless or not, I’m still Clarence’s legal wife. I have to thank you too, because the child in your tummy is the evidence of him cheating on me. Do you believe that I’ll sue both of you and manage to succeed? I’ll make sure he leaves the marriage without being able to take any property with him. Do you want to make a bet?”


Vivian widened her eyes in disbelief. “Don’t you dare…”


“Try it.”


Although it was July turning August and was hot summer at the moment, the voice of the man from behind was so cold and icy that made the hair of her back bristled. Stella was startled and she slowly loosened her grasp towards Vivian’s wrist. Vivian immediately ran to Clarence’s side. She covered the part of her face being slapped and tears flowed from her eyes. She cried sadly.




Clarence’s eyes fell onto her and he raised his head, looking at Stella. His eyes were cold and the words he said lacked any warmth. “Should I introduce you a lawyer?” The corner of Stella’s lips twitched. “No, thank you.” Was he joking with her? How would she have the money to hire a lawyer to engage herself in a litigation that was both time and energy consuming? She was only trying to scare Vivian.


Clarence took a step forward. He turned his head slightly to the side and spoke with a voice only both of them could hear, “So that’s what you meant by “leaving marriage without taking any property” in the divorce agreement.” Stella raised her head and saw the blatant cold light in his eyes. She instantly got what he meant and wanted to explain, “No, I…”


“Money could no longer satisfy you, what you want is the Conrad Group, right?” Without waiting for her to answer, he continued, “If not, what is the purpose of you putting up a divorce show this time?” It was to quickly complete you two sickening couple. “Stella Radomil, have you overestimated yourself? If I’ve really signed it, the price you pay would be far too dear.” Please, be straightforward like a man and quickly give me a relief. Stop with the trash talking.


Stella smiled when she met his sarcastic eyes. “Then please do sign as quickly as possible, Mr. Conrad. We’ll see each other at the civil affair bureau.” Clarence spoke with an indifferent tone, “After I sign, what do you plan to do afterwards? Sue me while taking the divorce agreement as the evidence?”


Stella still maintained her smile and she replied, “You’ve thought too much, Mr. Conrad, could we make it quick and free ourselves from this agony? If you’re still worried about it, I can write a letter of guaranty for you. I promise that after we divorce, I’ll not blackmail you a single penny with any purpose and title. I’ll also put my thumbprint on it to make it legally valid, is that okay?”


Clarence probably did not expect that she would be that determined, as if she was so eager to get rid of him. His eyebrows unnoticeably twitched and his thin lips slightly pursed. Seeing them talking for too long, Vivian quickly stepped forward. “Mr. Conrad…Let’s go, I’m feeling a bit unwell.”






Stella once again looked towards her and reminded her kindly, “Miss Sean, I suggest you to not wear such high-heels, put on such a thick makeup and wear such a strong perfume in the future. You’ll only be taken advantage by those terrible men and the ones who suffer would be you and the child in your tummy.” Clarence was speechless. Who was she implying? After finished, Stella retrieved her look with a cool vibe and left.


The moment Stella left, Vivian’s friends who had been watching the fun all went to her and flattered, “Vivi, Mr. Conrad really defended for you, that woman’s expression just now was too amazing.”


“Yeah, Mr. Conrad is too handsome. I’m so envious of you to have such a boyfriend that’s willing to stand out for you.”


“I have to say Vivi is right, that woman is truly shameless. Vivi’s already gone pregnant and she still refuses to divorce…”


Clarence slowly retrieved his look and glanced at them. He spoke, “Is there something wrong with your brains?” No matter how much he disliked Stella, he would never go as far as cheating in a marriage that would become his scandal. Those at the scene, including Vivian were all shocked and they had no idea what they said had offended him.






Clarence then continued, “Give me an explanation for the pregnancy issue.” Those words were directed to Vivian. Vivian grabbed her dress nervously and only stammered after a while, “I…I heard that Mr. Conrad has always disliked that woman, therefore I…I found an excuse to let her divorce with you…”


Clarence interrupted her with a slightly gloomy look, “Don’t think that I don’t know what you are planning. Using such a reason to force me to marry you, having Stella Radomil alone is enough. If I hear such a rumor again next time, you know the consequence.” Vivian bit her lip and did not dare to speak.


Her friends only heaved a sigh of relief when Clarence left. They then asked, “Vivi, isn’t Mr. Conrad your boyfriend? Why did he talk to you like that?” Vivian’s face was pale. Clarence had brought her to quite many banquets recently and he did not stop the spreading of rumor regarding their relationship. Therefore she had naturally thought she was the woman by his side.


It was due to that she deliberately went to the Conrad’s house and wanted Stella to give up her position, even making a fake pregnancy test report. But from what Clarence had said just now…


Vivian finally inquired something about Clarence and Stella’s marriage that night. Stella’s father had owed high debt from usury and the debtee sold her to the Twilight Club. She encountered Clarence after she escaped and she begged Clarence to save her.


To one’s surprise, Stella took the pregnancy test report and went to the Conrad’s house two months later. The Conrad family was a highly prestigious family and they exceptionally cared for their reputation. Since they refused to make the matter worse and caused damage to their reputation, and Stella had gotten pregnant, they let Clarence married Stella. Yet the child was suddenly gone when they got married for less than two months.


It was all a show put up by Stella from the beginning. Being drugged in the Twilight Club, encountering Clarence, forcing him to marry her with fake pregnancy, all she wanted was to get married into the Conrad family.
