Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Stella just could not fall asleep.

Maybe it was due to the strange environment that she couldn’t help thinking about the reasons why Channing acted

so brutally. Though she had had a cup of hot milk, she just kept getting more and more agitated.

Then she chose to got up and stroll in the room, trying to calm herself down.

As she was taking a deep breathe, she heard the door opened.

It was Clarence. Seeing what she was doing, he asked, “Are you hungry?”

Stella shook her head, “No, I am not hungry. I just couldn’t fall asleep.”

Clarence loosened his tie with one hand and threw it onto the sofa before he walked over to her and patted her

head softly, “Just because I’m not with you?”

Stella smiled and pushed him gently, “Well, you should take a shower first. Have you had dinner yet? I will make

something for you.”

“No, you don’t have to. I will take a shower first.” Clarence turned away and took the lid of a small box on the

bedside table. In the box there was a wood cube and Clarence dripped one or two drops of oil which was used to

soothe the nerves.

A faint fragrance of wood was sent over immediately, conveying a sense of coolness and calmness.

And it was quite comfortable to smell.

Stella took out some clothes from the wardrobe. Clarence took those clothes and gave her a gentle kiss before she

said slowly, “You don’t have to wait for me. You should go to bed early.”

Stella nodded, “I know.”

Seeing Clarence headed into the bathroom, Stella lied back on the bed. Maybe the oil worked. She finally felt a little

sleepy.

She yawned and closed her eyes slowly.

After a while, she found herself in a warm embrace.

Stella was still conscious right now. She mumbled. “Elaine said you had gone out together with Archer …”

With Stella in arms, Clarence halted for a second before he said, “I led him to meet someone.”

Stella nodded. She didn’t ask who the one was. She remained silent for a while before she said, “My father called

me this evening. He has been back and has met Channing. But he didn’t tell me what he said to Channing.”

Clarence said, “You don’t have to worry. He knows what he is doing.”

Stella nodded in his arms, “I hope this time William and Channing can get closer.”

Clarence patted her back and said, “They will. Don’t bother.”

The sound of Stella’s breath got more and more stable. After a while, she fell asleep.

…

In the Conrads' Mansion.

Sitting in Dempsey Conrad’s room, Justin stared at the empty bed. Seemingly he was wonder something.

Harris got closer to him and said, “Mr. Conrad, I will take Mr. Conrad back soon.”

Justin got back from his wondering and said opened his mouth slowly, “You don’t have to. They have noticed you

when you got to the hospital.

Harris gritted his teeth, “It’s my fault. I …”

In the morning when Dempsey Conrad was taken by Clarence’s men, Harris was afraid that their action would put

Justin in a disadvantaged position. And he had no idea about the situation of Chassell. To ensure Justin’s safety, he

chose to act immediately on his own.

Though he had prepared well, he was a bit late. Their men had come.

If it were not the woman, Chassell must have been dead now!

Justin said, “Did you show up before them?”

“The woman was the only one who noticed me. I will have her killed.”

Justin maintained a poker face, “Let Jon do it. The woman has seen you. If you missed the target again, you won’t

be back.”

Harris lowered his head without a word.

Justin drove his wheelchair and headed outside, “Now not even a fly would get in Chassell’s room. Don’t waste

more time on him. We should try another way around.”

Harris ran over to help her, “You mean … Stella Radomil?”

“Two workers have been dead in the new studio. But no information on such a piece of sensational news is available

online. We can work on it and I want you to be responsible for that.”

“But Clarence still got Master Conrad in hand. And news reports on the New Coast Project have already rendered us

in a disadvantaged position. I’m afraid …”

“He will die soon. He is of no use to Clarence even if he was in his hand,” Justin smiled, “And I’m not the man who

cares most about the project.”

The partners were the ones who were most worried.

Justin continued, “Although we haven’t reached our goal, what we have done is enough to have them anxious.”

After all the money invested could not be retrieved.

“But apart from Steward Group, Clarence also owns another two multinational companies, Complex and Southwest.

If Steward Group is involved in the case and the group ends up bankrupt, the other two he owns can still run

smoothly.”

Justin smiled faintly, “He won’t let Steward Group go bankrupt in his hands. Don’t you forget that the two

companies have had financial interactions with Steward Group.”

He’s right. One had invested in Steward Group and the other been in strategic cooperation with Steward Group.

If Steward Group was involved in the New Coast Project, the other two companies would definitely fail to remain

intact.

Should in Clarence’s mind Steward Group was something that could be discarded easily, it was hard for Justin to

fight against him.

But in fact, Steward Group really meant a lot to Clarence.

It was because Clarence had his own thoughts and concerns that Justin could have all those people involved dead

with him together through the New Coast Project.

After Harris had told him what he had to do on the phone, Jon remained for a few seconds before he asked, “So in

your mind, the sudden death of a super star in her home in midnight is something that can be easily neglected by

the general public?”

Harris said, “She have many reasons to commit suicide. She was harassed by Chassell. She suffered cyber-violence.

Channing was arrested for her. She can’t forgive herself and commits suicide. It’s simple, isn’t it?”

“Do you think someone as smart as Clarence Conrad would fail to realize what really happened?”

“It’s none of your business. You just take care of what I told you.”

After that, Harris hung up the phone.

Christian Atwood was standing beside him. He frowned and said, “As a secretary, he is too arrogant. Even Justin

won’t dare to speak to you like that.”

Jon sneered, “Indeed, Justin won’t talk to me like that. He is not a man of that kind. But if you think he respects me,

you are wrong. For him, I am nothing but a gun which would be abandoned anytime.”

“So… we don’t have to cooperate with them, right?”

Jon was originally a man collecting and selling information and intelligence. He used to take the money and leave

quickly regardless of what he had done to other people.

But since his cooperation with Justin began, he got involved more and more deeply.

Justin got the evidence which could prove what he had done those years. The cruel man wouldn’t let him go readily.

Plus, even someone as cruel and cunning as Amanda ended up killed by him immediately.

Now even if Justin would let him go, Clarence wouldn’t forgive him.

It’s a dead end anyway.

But if Justin won in the end, he could get what he wanted. That’s why he finally decided to fight for his own

survival.
