Chapter 319
In the horse ranch, because of the accident just now, the manager dared not to let those rich people ride the horse again. Instead, he gathered all the horses together and started checking them up one after another.
Vincent was quite idle, so he was standing there, watching the fun.
Others all heard that one of the horses almost bumped into someone, but they didn’t know who was so unlucky. Seeing there was such a huge scene, they all stayed and waited for the result, although they couldn’t ride the horse.
After Clarence and Stella walked over, the manager immediately came up to them and led them to the lounge. “Mr. Conrad, and... Mrs. Conrad, I’m sorry for the accident that happened in the club today. Your loss will be borne by our club.”
“That’s not what I want to hear,” said Clarence.
The manager wiped off the sweat on his forehead. “Yes. Yes. Mr. Conrad, you are right. The result came out... It was because a long nail was stabbed into the horse’s butts. We are repairing the fence of the horse ranch this afternoon, but I don’t know why the long nail was...”
Clarence said in a cold tone, “Do you want to tell me that the long nail stung itself into the horse? Or do you want to tell me the horse deliberately sat on the long nail?”
The manager’s legs shook. He didn’t know how to answer the question.
This incident was done by someone purposely.
However, people coming to this club were either rich or powerful, the manager didn’t have the guts to offend anyone, and nor did he dare to make a guess.
It was fine if the horse was startled, but how unlucky that it ran towards them.
Clarence continued, “Who had been to the horse ranch this afternoon? Give me the name list.”
The manager didn’t dare to refuse at all. He went to find the registration form.
When seeing Phoebe’s name on the registration form, Clarence wasn’t surprised at all.
His face turned colder. “Where is Phoebe Steward?”
One of the employees answered, “Ms. Steward just came out from the clinic. She should have left the club and gone home.”
Clarence looked up at him and said expressionlessly, “Call her back.”
The manager didn’t dare to provoke Phoebe at all. He stammered, “Mr. Conrad, well...”
“Tell her, if she doesn’t come back right now, I’ll go to find Charles Steward in Steward Group tomorrow.”
The manager became more nervous, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
In this case, he wouldn’t offend Phoebe, because he only needed to pass Clarence’s massage to her.
Stella kept silent when watching the scene.
A horse was startled suddenly, which could be an accident.
However, a long nail was found on the horse, which was done by someone purposely. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
She didn’t want to think that Phoebe was an evil woman. However, after the former incidents happened, she couldn’t help but suspect Phoebe.
Or, in other words, except for the accident, nobody else would have done such things.
Phoebe didn’t show up after half an hour.
She sat opposite Clarence and Stella with a cold look. “Did you want to see me? What’s up?”
Clarence tossed the long nail that was found on the horse in front of her.
Phoebe looked down at it and asked in confusion, “What’s this?”
Stella said, “A horse from the ranch was startled and attacked people. It was taken out from its butts.”
Phoebe smiled, “Ms. Radomil, what are you talking about? What do I have to do with the startled horse?”
As she spoke, she looked over at Clarence, “Did you call me back because of this?”
Clarence remained calm. “Of course not.”
“Then for what? Clarence, you threatened me on the phone. If you can’t give me a persuasive reason, I’m afraid that someone deliberately wants to make a fuss.”
When she was saying the last few words, she cast Stella a glance intentionally and unintentionally.
Clarence asked, “You said you were injured just now. Where did you get hurt?”
Phoebe’s expression changed slightly when hearing the question. She didn’t answer.
Clarence continued, “If not mistaken, you went to the clinic to ensure if it was Stella or me who got injured, didn’t you?”
Phoebe soon calmed down. “I don’t know what you are talking about. I went for a checkup in the clinic because I got injured. I don’t think it’s necessary to tell you my privacy.”
“I can ask the doctor if you are truly injured or not.”
Phoebe looked more annoyed. “What do you mean? I’m not a criminal interrogated by you. Clarence, I...”
Clarence interrupted her, “You should know more clearly than I do about what you’ve done.”
Phoebe burst into laughter and looked over at the woman sitting next to him. “Ms. Radomil, is this how you always talking about me in Clarence’s presence.”
Stella was suddenly cued by her. She smiled and said, “Ms. Steward, you reacted pretty fast indeed.”
Phoebe could switch from one subject to another.
Phoebe said, “If I don’t react soon, I’ll bear the slander by you. Ms. Radomil, I used to want to friend with you truly before. As you promised, you will leave Clarence alone and won’t want to be in touch with him. How about now?”
“Ms. Steward, only you know if you truly wanted to friend with me or you approached me with some purposes.”
“Ms. Radomil, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would I have to approach you with purposes? At that time, you are just a disgusted ex-wife. What could I get from you?”
“Ms. Steward, what you’ve done and you are doing are all your acts of revenge because your engagement has been called off, aren’t they? If so, you are not comparable to me, the ex-wife. At least
I’m doing things aboveboard, and I dare to take the blame for what I’ve done. What about you, Ms. Steward?”
Although Phoebe always mocked her for the fact that she was Clarence’s ex-wife, Stella didn’t care. She could retort Phoebe, couldn’t she?
Vincent and other idle rich men wanted to come in and join the fun. When they arrived at the door of the lounge, they heard the women’s argument. Immediately, they left.
The war between women was way too horrible.
Phoebe sneered. “I wondered how aboveboard you could be since you married him with the excuse of your fake pregnancy.”
“Ms. Steward, didn’t you use fewer means?”
Clarence slightly rubbed his temple with two fingers, feeling a migraine.
Right then, the manager standing aside couldn’t bear it any longer. He was afraid that there would be a fierce fight the next second. He asked in a frightening voice, “Ms. Steward, Mrs... Mrs. Conrad, shall we continue talking about the accident that happened now?”
Phoebe said with a cold look, “I’ve told you it has nothing to do with me. What should I say?”
Clarence said indifferently, “The fence of the horse ranch is being repaired today. To ensure the project's progress, cameras have been installed to video the process. Do you want me to disclose the video clip to the media, or do you want to admit it now?”
Phoebe probably had never expected it. Her expression was stiffened for a moment. She didn’t utter a word.
She knew the fence was being prepared. Hence, she took out a long nail when others didn’t pay attention.
Right then, she was fully focused on Stella, so she didn’t pay attention to anything else.
Hence, when Clarence mentioned that the repairing progress was videoed, she couldn’t be sure if it was true or not.
