Chapter 418: Worthless Things

Clarence’s expression remained unchanged, “Not long ago.”

Aurora’s father took two steps backwards on the spot. His face turned red and white for a moment.

How could he not know about the things Aurora had done all this while? He had even given her a lot of
help, otherwise, things would not have ended so easily.

His original intention was to take the opportunity to release his anger on Clarence in the incident where
he had been rejected by Clarence. Furthermore, even if they suspected that it was done by Aurora,
they had no evidence to investigate them. Clarence had been busy dealing with Conrad Group and
Steward Group. He could not spare the time to deal with such a small matter, not to mention that he
had even shown goodwill last night.

He thought that the issue had ended.

He did not expect that Cameron planned to adopt Stella as his granddaughter.

If that was the case, as long as Stella complaint to Cameron, even if Cameron had no proof, just by
giving an order, the projects that Barton Group was currently working on would not be as smooth as
before.

William looked over at him and asked, “Is Mr. Barton not feeling well?”

Aurora’s father squeezed out a smile with difficulty, “No ... no, Mr. William, Mr. Conrad, I have to settle
some business issue, excuse me for a moment.”

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Clarence withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, “Why Mr. William is here.”



William said, “How about Mr. Conrad?”

“I am here for my fiancée. So is Mr. William?”

William spoke nonchalantly, “It’s too early to say fiancée, has Mr. Conrad proposed yet, I don’t think
Ms. Radomil will say yes.”

“How can Mr. William conclude whether she says yes or not.”

William said, “I think that unhappy marriage had a big impact on her, otherwise you would have
remarried in the first place, not just being boyfriend and girlfriend.”

William’s voice was a little cold as he said these words.

Clarence twitched his thin lips slightly but he could not say anything to retort him.

He was not sure now whether he could get Stella to marry him. His third gift was not ready yet.

On the other side.

After Aurora left, she went to find Emmett and said in a high-minded manner, “I just heard from that
person that you once confessed to Stella?”

Emmett nodded, “What business does Ms. Barton have?”

Aurora could not help but frowned, “Why do you like her, I thought you have good taste, but it turns out
to be just like that.”

Hearing those words, Emmett smiled lightly.

Aurora was unhappy, “Why are you smiling?”



Emmett said, “If in your eyes, Stella is that bad and liking her means that I have a vision problem, then
shouldn’t Ms. Barton examine why so many people like her but no one likes you, is it because you are
not as good as her who you despise in the eyes of others?”

“You ...”

Aurora was momentarily dumbfounded by his words and she looked very pale.

Emmett seemed to not realize anything and continued saying, “Ms. Barton is a rich young girl. Your
insight is better than normal people, but don’t judge others with your standard.”

Ever since Aurora came to look for Emmett, people around her thought they had caught a whiff of
some gossip and gathered over, but they did not expect to hear these words.

Some of them who were uncomfortable with Aurora laughed openly and whispered about it.

Seeing this, Aurora was even more furious, but she could not vent her anger on Emmett, so she yelled
at the onlookers, “What are you looking at, what’s there to see!”

After saying that, she left in a rage.

Aurora had just walked a few steps when someone came to her side and said, “Ms. Barton, Stella is
here and is right outside.”

When Aurora heard the name, the fire in her heart burned wilder, “What is she doing here?”

“She said she comes to give Ms. Barton a birthday present.”

Aurora was full of anger at the moment and she wanted to find a place to vent it. That vixen came at
the right time, she gritted her teeth, “Let her in!”

Soon, Stella, who was waiting outside, was allowed to enter.



As soon as she arrived at the banquet hall, Aurora appeared in front of her with some of her best
friends, with a look of unspeakable arrogance.

Stella said, “Ms. Barton.”

Aurora obviously looked down on her. Clasping her hands to her chest, she said lightly, “I heard that
you have prepared a gift for me, so I come out to see what it is.”

As soon as she said that, the girl next to her echoed, “Yes, yes, we are also curious about what it is, so
take out quickly and let us widen our horizons.”

Stella smiled and spoke slowly, “Ms. Barton, please wait a moment, my gift hasn’t arrived yet.”

Aurora snorted disdainfully, “If you don’t have it, what are you pretending for? You thought that I won’t
let you come to my birthday party as you don’t prepare any gifts for me? Why do you give such
excuse?”

The person beside her said, “I think her gift is too poor to be shown in public.”

“That’s right, don’t take those things from your studio as a birthday gift, the cheap brand is considered
plastic for me, let alone Aurora, who usually wears luxury items that you’ve never seen.”

“I remember that Mr. Conrad is here, how come you arrive after him? I think Mr. Conrad doesn’t even
care about you, right? You look at yourself. I don’t think you’re wearing any branded item. Judging from
your look, your relationship with Mr. Conrad is just very normal.”

“You’re right, if she’s that important, she wouldn’t have gotten divorced in the first place. Who knows
what kind of tricks she’s playing to pester Mr. Conrad? After all, she even faked her pregnancy to force
him to marry.”



“I don’t think a single thing on her body is worthy.”

As a response to their words, Stella kept her smile on her face.

This loud drama had attracted many guests.

A sharp-eyed person listened to their discussion and put his eyes on Stella, whispering, “It can’t be the
case, that necklace around her neck looks quite valuable.”

The person next to Aurora mocked, “How much can a broken necklace worth, is it a ruby? I think it’s
just a glass composite.”

Another person said, “No, isn’t her necklace ‘To encounter’? It was said to have been auctioned off
from a London jewellery store for 18 million two years ago.”

Hearing that, Aurora’s face was a bit unnatural, “Nonsense, does she look like someone who can afford
such expensive things?”

The smile on Stella’s face deepened, “Of course I can’t afford it, it’s Clarence who gives it to me.”

As saying that, she lamented, “You guys are right, I’ve never seen luxury items, so I can only wear
these worthless things.”

For a moment, all those who had just said that she did not have a single valuable item on her body and
those who had said that Clarence despised her were silent with different expressions.

Aurora gritted her teeth fiercely, “This is absolutely impossible!”
