Chapter 18
In the backseat, rence didn’t even open his eyes as his cold voice came, “Throw that to the dogs.”
Nathan reminded him after a moment of silence, “Mr. Conrad, dogs can’t eat chocte.”
“…”
In the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ste had calcted all the possible misgivings and the traffic and in order
not to bete, she arrived at the entrance an hour before the stipted time.
Compared to the section where pairs of sweet couples finally became husband and wife, it was much
more deste in the divorce section here. A few divorcees here had a look of numbness and
resentment on their faces, and even the workers working here had a kind of indifference to his
expression.
At this sight of this, Ste tried to force a rigid smile on her face. She never had any grudge against
rence. They didn’t start their marriage in a good ambience, so she hoped that she didn’t have to be
consumed with too much hatred as if the whole word was her enemy while she was going through this
divorce.
At the thought of this, the smile on her face grew wider.
She wanted to be the happiest divorcee today.
rence happened to arrive at this moment and saw her face. He stopped in his tracks and he silently
watched her from a far.
After some unknown period of time, the smile on her face eventually became unnatural. She took a
look at the time and cursed softly, “This bastard, how can he bete for a divorce? Even the president
of the country isn’t as busy as him.”
rence’s temples jumped slightly upon hearing that. With his lips pressed into an indifferent line, he
strode towards her.
Ste heard the sounds of footsteps and when she saw him, her eyes seemed to light up, “Mr. Conrad,
you’re here.”

rence mumbled a response and asked, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“Not at all, I am actually touched by your investment of time in this divorce matter, seeing how busy you
can be. I can wait as long as it takes.”
Seeing that she was putting on such a hypocritical face, rence couldn’t help snorting.
It was a waste that she didn’t dabble in the show business world.
They sat down on a window for divorce registration, and rence swept his gaze over Ste who was
signing her name. He suddenly tightened his grip on the pen when he asked without any warning,
“Ste, I will give you onest chance. Is it true that you are really pregnant?”
Ste froze for a second before looking up to meet his eyes. A smile formed on her face, “Didn’t I show
you my pregnancy report not long ago?”
Under the glow of sunlight, her smile was charming and dazzling.
rence felt that he couldn’t discern the authenticity of her smile at that moment.
His voice gradually became cold, “Three years ago, you gave me the same thing. I trusted you at that
time.”
Ste looked a little astonished and the smile on her face gradually faded. She didn’t refute him as she
replied, “Didn’t you make sure to avoid pregnancy every time we do that?”
It was precisely because of this that he couldn’t tolerate her using him and lying to him time and again.
If she coulde clean with him and tell him that the pregnancy was a lie, he would have been able to
forgive her.
However, she didn’t seem like she would change her ways. She continued to make the same mistakes
over and over again.
rence retrieved his gaze and signed his name without hesitation.
After exiting the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ste carefully kept her divorce certificate and with her palms
sped together, she said with a wide grin, “Mr. Conrad, happy divorcing.”
rence stared at her without any expression.
Ste added, “Mr. Conrad, in order to show that this is a peaceful parting, shouldn’t you say something
simr and wish me happiness?”
“You can be happy on your own.”
After saying that, he immediately left her and got into his Rolls-Royce which was parked near the
entrance.
Ste raised her brows as she once again took out her divorce certificate. She said to herself in a
serious tone, “Ste, I wish you happiness after this divorce.”
No matter how deep rence’s misunderstanding was towards her, and no matter how scheming he
thought she was by carrying out their divorce, she finally was able to arrive at the end of the road.
Time would prove to everyone that she simply wanted a divorce, nothing more.
In the afternoon, Ste arrived at the office of SG Jewelry Magazine.
She came here this time to discuss about the aftermath of her “Puppy Love’ Series” with Stanford. The
pre-sales of the first three designs was doing very well, and SG Jewelry Magazine intended for her to
add to the collection with new designs to ride the wave of this hot debut.
In the middle of the meeting, an employee suddenly came in and whispered something by Stanford’s
ears. His expression changed slightly as he stood up and said to Ste, “There’s an emergency
situation. I need to take my leave for a moment.”
Ste nodded, “Alright.”
The moment Stanford left, Ste suddenly felt that the noise outside the meeting room suddenly
became louder. The other employees had various expressions on their faces and some of them were
even ncing in her direction while engaging in little talk.
The ss walls separating her and them allowed her to feel the scrutinizing and teasing gaze
directedat her.
Ste messaged Sherry to find out what was happening.
After around ten minutes, Sherry didn’t reply.
Ste had a feeling that something major had happened.
Half an hour ago, the originally rising pre-sales data of the “Puppy Love’ Series” not only stopped, the
data actually showed that the sales volume had dramatically dropped.
Not only that, a huge wave of refund had been requested.
In order to make sure the sales volume could be maintained, SG Jewelry Magazine had contacted
several OEM factories to start the production, and they had been rushing with the production since the
press conferencest night. If the orders were cancelled inrge volumes, it would no doubt be a huge
loss on SG Jewelry Magazine’s part.
The whole explosion began from a single post that appeared on the inte an hour ago.
Compared to the spections by everyone that didn’t have any basis, this post detailed the story with
time stamps, which in turn increased the authenticity of the whole story.
The post detailed the reason for the disappearance of Sharon, the newly signed designer of SG
Jewelry Magazine, three years ago—
“Ever since she had won the award, she hooked up with a wealthy man in no time. After learning that
this wealthy man was a man with family, Sharon didn’t give up just yet. She got herself pregnant after
putting in a lot of effort and forced the hand of the rich man with her huge belly. The rich man’s wife
couldn’t take on this humiliation, so she had parted ways with him, which allowed Sharon to be his
official partner.”
“However, after marrying into the rich man’s family, the baby in Sharon’s stomach was suddenly no
more. The rich man felt cheated by her, which caused his attitude towards her to be cold and
indifferent. He no longer cared and talked to her, which began his parade out there fooling around with
women. The reason Sharon had decided to make aeback was because the rich man had grown
completely tired of her, and he had sted her away from his family.”
In thest part of the post, it said that ever since SG Jewelry Magazine had signed her, her first line of
product which had “Puppy Love” as their theme was simply a humiliation and let down to the concept.
For someone so shameless and unruly like her, someone who had hooked up with married man, she
was not worthy of talking about Puppy Love, let alone bing a jewellery designer in the first ce.
Although Ste was not a member of the entertainment circle, the SG Jewelry Magazine was a well-
known magazine in the nation, and it often times coborated with the top artists, which meant the
magazine was involved in some way with the entertainment circle.
Besides, in this day and age of social media, nothing could escape the scrutiny of the public. There
was never ack of busybodies wanting to watch interesting scandal explode in front of their eyes.
“I used to love the ‘Puppy Love’ Series’, and I have pre-ordered the first three designs. However, I
never thought that the designer is someone like that, and it makes me sick whenever I think of her.
Luckily, I am able to get a refund as soon as possible.”
