How could Modesty not take it to her heart after learning about this?
No wonder that Stella’s clothes were all baggy when she was working in SG. Modesty felt weird before.
It turned out that it was because Stella was pregnant.
Modesty paused and then asked tentatively, “Ms. Steward, is the Conrad family you mentioned just
now the one that controls the Conrad family.”
“Yep.”
After ending the call, Phoebe looked out of the window and gradually curled her lips into a smile.
She just needed to spread the information, and someone would take actions in place of her.
…
Ever since Clarence moved back to the Conrad mansion, the ambience in the house became more
oppressive. But Stella felt that her life, which was like that of a prisoner’s, became boisterous and lively
now.
She would be angered by him every day.
That wretched man suddenly became free recently. He didn’t go to the company and stay in the house
all day long and satirized her from time to time.
Time flew and it was only several days left to Dempsey’s birthday party.
The closer to the date, the more Stella was. She was afraid there would be some accidents.
But generally, your wish was hard to come true, while your foreboding would come immediately.
Two days before Dempsey’s party, the police received an anonymous report, saying that someone in
the Conrad family was taking drugs.
Dempsey’s expression was excessively hideous when the police officers came to the Conrad family,
“This is impossible! This is ridiculous!”
The police captain apologized to him, “Mr. Conrad, this matter have drawn the attention of many people
and the journalists also have learned about this. We have to come here according to the rules. Once it
is proved that the report was fake, we will investigate it and give you a satisfactory explanation.”

family has been engaged in business for several generations, yet all of them had never violated the
laws. We never touch the drugs, nor do we do harm others. But now someone even made a fake report
to the police. I want to see who is so bold to maliciously spread rumors about the Conrad family!”
“That’s right, Mr. Conrad.” The police captain added, “But please ask your families to cooperate with us
to have n examination. Only in this way can we prove that the Conrad family is innocent.”
Although Dempsey was displeased, he knew deep down that if he refused to be cooperative now, it
would give that reporter an opportunity.
Then all the members of the Conrad family left their samples for examination.
The police captain said, “Sorry to bother you guys. Is there anyone who hasn’t had an examination?”
Annie, whit her hands crossed in front of her chest, said disdainfully, “Stella is still upstairs.”
Dempsey took a glance at the maid standing beside him and said, “Ask her to come downstairs.”
“Roger.”
The maid went downstairs.
In a bush not far away, two journalists successfully sneaked into the mansion when the maids were
having an examination. They were nervous and excited.
Although they didn’t dare to offend the Conrad family, the one who called them before told them that
this would be a piece of breaking news. If they were the first to report this news, they might be famous
for it and earn much money later.
Stella, who was still sleeping upstairs, was woken up by the knocking on the door. When she heard that
the police officers were here to investigate drugs, she was still in a trance. Stella came back to her
sense after a long while, “I know it. I have to change my clothes first and I will go downstairs soon.”
When the maid left, Stella walked to the window and saw that there were many people and two police
vans in the garden downstairs.
It seemed like this matter was quite serious.
After going downstairs, Stella went to register her information first. When the police captain asked her
about her relationship with the Conrad family, she was stunned for a moment. She didn’t know how to
answer the question.
But it seemed like Dempsey also didn’t want to admit her identity openly. He said impatiently, “We won’t
run away. You just need to examine her and you can find me if there’s any problem.”
The police captain didn’t probe into this. After collecting Stella’s sample, he and his men leave the
mansion.
The two journalists also took part in SG’s news conference before, so they recognized Stella the
moment she went downstairs. Their eyes lit up. At the next moment, they shot photos of her crazily.
Rumors had it that Ms. Radomil was the mistress supported by a powerful businessman before, but
Stella denied it and they didn’t have any plausible evidence. Now they finally got the photos to prove it.
Right at this moment, two security guards found the two journalists and brought them to Dempsey.
The two journalists had figured out an excuse before and told him that they were here because
someone reported that someone in the Conrad family was taking drugs.
Dempsey was furious and impatient when he heard about this. He asked the security guards to check
their cameras and deleted all the photos in them and then directly drove them out of the mansion.
Nevertheless, the two journalists had sent the photos back to the office through their phones.
When the maids left, Annie looked towards Stella and sneered, “You’re a jinx.”
Justin said in a deep voice, “Annie.”
“I didn’t wrong her. Has such a thing ever happened in our family? But ever since she moved into our
family, many bad things happened.”
When Justin was about to say something, Dempsey said, “Justin, you can’t always scold Annie.”
His connotation was that he also agreed with Annie. It seemed like he indirectly blamed Stella for this
fuss.
Learning that Dempsey was supporting her, Annie became more complacent, “Everyone will detest her
no matter where she goes. It’s unlucky.”
Dempsey snorted and then came back to his bedroom with the support of the walking stick.
When Annie was about to leave, she was stopped by Justin, “Annie, apologize to Stella.”

“Impossible. Uncle also said that…”
“Apologize to her.”
Annie had never seen such an overbearing attitude from Justin. She hesitated and turned her head to
look at Joanna, “Aunt…”
Joanna said in a calm voice, “Didn’t you hear Justin’s words?”
Annie stomped her feet and squeezed out a word from between her gritted teeth, “Sorry.”
Stella said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t hear it.”
Annie was so angered that her face also distorted. But as Justin and Joanna had said that, she could
only swallow her anger and said loudly, “I said I’m sorry.”
Annie turned around and ran to her bedroom after saying that.
Stella curled her lips into a light smile.
Her apology was like a little pleasure in her bitter life.
Justin said, “Stella, Annie is just childish. Please don’t take it to your heart.”
Stella nodded her head, “Thank you.”
…
The police soon told them the result of the examinations – none of the members of the Conrad family
had taken drugs, so the anonymous report was fake.
They tried to investigate it, yet only found out that the anonymous report was provided by a person with
a fake identity and they couldn’t find out that person for the time being.
It seemed like it was an intentional and well-prepared plan.
When this matter was still heated, a commenter exposed on the official website of SG Jewelry
Magazine that Stella had a sugar daddy and was pregnant with an illegitimate child. And the evidence
provided was so plausible and logical. Even the photos of the pregnant Stella were posted on the
Internet.
In the photo, except for Stella, the other persons around her were mosaic. And the maids and police
officers in the garden were erased.
