Chapter 511: The Capitalist’s Ruthless Oppression and Exploitation

Clarence wasn’t at home when Stella went back.

She fished out her phone and saw that Clarence had sent her a message an hour ago, saying that
something came up at the company and he probably wouldn’t be back tonight.

Stella replied with a few words, saying that she had reached home. She then put her things down and
slumped into the sofa.

Not long after, Clarence called, whispering, “Have you had dinner yet”

“I ate at Sherry’s home.”

Clarence added, “Get some rest, no need to wait for me.”

Stella paused, “Is… something wrong”

“There’s a little problem with the project in London, but it’s not a big deal.”

Stella said, “I’ll let you go.”

After hanging up the phone, Stella lay on the sofa for a while before getting up and going to the
bathroom.

Stella came out of the bathroom an hour later.

She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, it was as if she could hear the cries of the children.

Perhaps it was because God felt that she couldn’t even protect the two children given to her well and
reclaimed her right to be a mother.



In fact, before Stella’s first pregnancy, she didn’t like children that much.

It was just that when a new life began to gestate in the womb, gradually gaining its consciousness and
thoughts, and could even feel him moving in the womb, that wonderful feeling of kinship would
unconsciously amplify one’s senses.

It would also anticipate the arrival of the little one immensely.

Stella dazed until the latter part of the night when she got a little bit of sleep.

Not long after she fell asleep, she heard a subtle movement from the bedroom.

Stella opened her eyes in a daze and saw Clarence walking towards the cloakroom.

In a trance, she thought she was dreaming.

Clarence had just taken out his suitcase when a tired female voice came from behind him, “Where are
you going”

He turned around and saw that Stella was wearing a nightgown, looking tired.

Clarence walked over and took her in his arms, saying slowly, “The situation there is a bit complicated
and I need to go over there.”

“To London”

“Yes.”

Stella added, “So how many days are you going to be there”

“I’m not sure. A week if it’s quick.”



Stella got out of his arms, “I’ll pack your bags.”

Clarence held her wrist as she took a step, “I’ll do it. You get some sleep.”

Stella yawned and walked forward, “You once called me in the middle of the night to ask me to pack
your luggage, and now you’re being polite.”

Clarence curled his lips, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind and resting his chin on her
shoulder, “It was different then.”

“What was different”

“It was just an excuse for wanting to see you at that time.”

Stella couldn’t help but tut-tut, rummaging through the wardrobe for clothes, “I didn’t think it as an
excuse, but rather a capitalist’s ruthless oppression and exploitation.”

Clarence raised his eyebrows, “Will you even come back if I wasn’t being ruthless”

He kept holding her, and Stella couldn’t pack his things. She lifted her shoulders, “Let go of me.”

“No.”

Stella was puzzled.

Clarence nibbled her ear sideways, “I’ll be there for at least a week. Don’t you miss me”

Stella said, “You haven’t left yet. Why missing you”

Clarence chuckled, “Take care of yourself during my absence. If you run into any trouble or something
you can’t solve, you can find James and Donald.”



“Got it.”

Clarence was silent, yet he still held her, not letting go of her.

Stella whispered, “Is there anything else”

“The Starry Lake Mansion is renovated.”

“Ah… it’s quite fast.”

Clarence’s thin lips bit on her neck.

Stella couldn’t help but hiss and frowned, “Are you a dog”

“Don’t you always call me the wretched man”

Stella was speechless.

He was pretty aware of that.

Clarence added, “Let’s move over when I come back.”

Stella paused a while, and only after a moment did she say, “Okay. When you come back, I also have
something to tell you.”

“Can’t you say it now”

“Nope.”

Clarence said, “Luckily I’m not a curious person. Otherwise, I would have been overwhelmed by you for
the whole week.”

Stella was voiceless.



She got out of Clarence’s arms, “Okay, I have to continue packing. You go out and have some rest…
When are you leaving”

“The five o’clock flight.”

Stella asked, “What time is it now”

“Three o’clock.”

Stella said, “How about you take a nap for half an hour I’ll wake you up later.”

Clarence loosened his tie, “No need. Nathan is waiting for me downstairs.”

“I’ll pack up right away then.”

Ten minutes later, Stella closed the suitcase and sent Clarence to the door, waving her hand at him,
“Take care. Call me when you reach there.”

Clarence hummed, wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace, lowering his
head to kiss her on the lips.

Only when Stella was about to lose her breath did he let her go, “I’m leaving. Go back to sleep.”

Stella nodded, “Bye.”

After Clarence entered the lift, Stella closed the door, went back to her room and slumped back onto
the bed, unable to sleep at all.

But there was still a huge workload waiting for her to deal with. So Stella could only force her eyes to
close and sleep in a daze.

When the alarm clock went off, she stretched out and lifted the covers to get up.



All of the Steward Group’s suspended projects had now been fully launched, and the bank loan had
been approved too. After getting the loan, Stella had them pay out the wages owed to the workers
immediately.

Although this move made some of the senior management unhappy, they didn’t dare to say anything.
They could only hold their discontent back when seeing that even Armand’s objection to Stella’s
opinion was refuted at the meeting.

The people that Stella had sent to take charge of different projects had now arrived at their respective
posts and were gradually starting to catch on.

Now, as things stood, if things went on like this and nothing went wrong, it wouldn’t take long for the
Steward Group to get through this crisis.

But imagination and reality were always somewhat different.

As soon as Stella arrived at the company, Logan came to her, saying that after starting the construction
work, it was discovered that there was a batch of materials that had significant problems. There was no
way to continue using them. So, they had to be replaced immediately.

And the damning thing was that the same materials were used in almost all the projects.

This meant that all the projects would be stopped again if they couldn’t find the new replacement
materials soon.

However, it wasn’t easy to repurchase the new materials suddenly, and it would require a large sum of
money.

Logan said, “Ms. Radomil, what should we do now”
