Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

When Stella walked out of the washroom after taking a shower and dried her hair, she noticed that her

phone that was thrown on the bed was vibrating. She immediately got onto the bed and as expected, it

was a call from Clarence.

When she answered the call, the man’s low voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “You

haven’t gone to bed?”

Stella replied, “Not yet.”

She paused and then asked, “I can’t fall asleep.

It was true. Many things happened tonight and she couldn’t fall asleep.

Clarence said, “You miss me so much so you’re sleepless?”

Stella, “…”

He was so frivolous!

Stella asked, “How’s the situation at your side?”

Clarence replied in a flat tone, “I just finished the meeting of directors. Rest assured. They can’t do

anything to me.”

“But this matter is so serious now. The Conrad family…”

“They were the one who planned this and they were quite complacent of it. It was also them who blew

up this affair.”

Stella was stunned when she heard the words, “The Conrad family planned this? But shouldn’t it be

Modesty who recorded it?”

Clarence wasn’t surprised when hearing this and said, “I have to compliment that she’s somehow smart

and knows to find a scapegoat.”

“Do you mean that it was Modesty who made a voice recording, but she was afraid that she might

offend you? Therefore, she turned to the Conrad family.”

The outsiders all knew that Dempsey and Clarence were the father and son on the surface, but they

were indeed enemies who tried best to plot against each other. Especially Dempsey, he tried to plot

against Clarence for several times and they were all in vain. Now he was trying all possible means to

get something on Clarence.

Modesty was smart. She was so bold that she even schemed against Dempsey.

Stella continued after a short while of silence, “Now that we know who the one behind all these is, what

should we do to cope with it?”

“Don’t be so hurried.” Clarence said slowly, “Wait for two more days.”

“Okay.

If she guessed it right, Clarence wanted to carry out his plan by making use of this affair.

Clarence asked, “Did Charles come to find you?”

“Nope.”

“Just wait. He will come to find you tomorrow morning at latest.”

Stella nodded her head. She also thought that this affair would be more serious tomorrow night after

tonight’s fermentation.

If Charles wanted to end this matter before it became more serious and minimize its negative effect, he

could at most wait until tomorrow morning.

Stella asked, “Are you still in the company?”

Clarence replied with a nasal sound, “Many affairs are delayed today and I haven’t handled them.”

“Oh, they will you have to work overnight?”

“Will you come here to accompany me?”

Stella replied, “Oh, I suddenly become sleepy. Bye.”

Stella lay face down on the bed for a while after ending the call and then walked into the washroom to

dry her hair.

She took a glance at the clock and found it was already one o’clock in the morning. It was unrealistic

for her to go out now.

But… That wretched man had a bad habit- he would always forget to have a meal when he was busy.

Lying onto the bed, Stella ordered a takeaway for him.

After that, she recalled that Nathan was his assistant and had many affairs to deal with every day, so

she ordered a takeaway for Nathan too.

After that, Stella opened the Weibo and found that the topic about Channing was still heated and many

people were still criticizing Phoebe.

It seemed like many people would be sleepless tonight.

As the evening wore on, the surroundings became quieter and quieter and she could only hear the

rustle of the leaves occasionally.

After a short while, there came the raining sound.

And the temperature in the room became lower.

Looking at the dark night outside of the window, Stella thought of the night when the bloody Adolph

showed up in her studio and Eugene who lay in the mortuary lonely.

After a long while, Stella heaved a gentle sigh. This time, she didn’t owe them anything. Therefore, she

would not show mercy to them again.

…

This rainy night was destined to be not calm.

After sending the recording pen to the Conrad family, Modesty had been paying attention to the news

on the Internet. When the recording was exposed, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling

unprecedentedly satisfied.

Many people knew about this affair now and it even got the Conrad Group involved. The organizer and

the Conrad family would assert that the contents in the recording were deceitful to disassociate

themselves from this matter. In this case, Stella would lose the opportunity to have a special

performance.

Modesty waited for the whole night, yet the organizer and the Conrad Group still didn’t clarify this

matter and what she got in the end was the scandals about Phoebe.

Modesty became a bit flustered when seeing the news about Phoebe becoming more heated than the

news about Stella.

Right at this moment, her phone suddenly rang. Looking at the stranger number on the phone, Phoebe

thought it was a call from Adolph. She hurriedly answered the call as if she had grabbed a life-saving

straw, “Adolph, I…”

“Oh?”

When hearing the frivolous male voice from the other end of the phone, Modesty knitted her brows,

“How comes it’s you?”

Arthur said, “Why can’t it be me? I asked you to come to my room in the hotel. Why don’t you come?”

Modesty retorted, “Are you insane? I’ve given you that I should give you. Why should I come there?”

Arthur laughed, “Don’t regard me as an outsider. You’ve give me that you should give me? But I haven’t

gotten the thing that I really want. I will give you the last chance. Come to the hotel right now.

Otherwise, don’t blame me if I disclose your scandals later.”

Modesty tightened her clench on the phone. Suppressing her anger, she asked, “Do I have any

scandal?”

“Oh, our cooperation was just finished, yet you forget it so soon.” Arthur said slowly, “It doesn’t matter

even though you forget it. I don’t mind reminding you.”

“No need.” Modesty took a deep breath, “You said it was just cooperation. Shouldn’t you shut up after

getting the money?”

“Yes, you’re right. I should shut up after getting the money. But it’s just the reward for helping you in the

competition. But I didn’t get any reward from the affair of bribing the two judges to help you get the

champion.”

Modesty retorted in a cold voice, “It was not me who bribed the judges. It was Aurora…”

Arthur said, “She bribed the judges for the sake of you, right? And you’re the one who won the

championship. It was not me, nor Ms. Barton, right?”

“Are you using this to threaten me?”

“How can it be a threat? I’ve told you that we’re the same kind of people and I just want to have more

profound communication with you.” Arthur added, “I’ve sent you the address of the hotel and my room

number. If you don’t show up in an hour…”

Arthur said as if he was talking to himself, “They’re enthusiastically discussing this competition on the

Internet. I believe that many media is willing to buy this exclusive news at a high price. Looks like I will

get a large sum of money again.”

Gritting her teeth, Modesty pressed the screen with great force and ended the call.

She stood in the room for several minutes and then called Adolph, yet still failed to connect the call.

Clenching her fists tightly, Modesty took a glance at the fruit knife on the table and put it into her bag.

She changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
