Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 173

The airport, City N.

While pulling out his cell phone, Clarence walked out of the exit.

Nathan followed him. After receiving a call, he walked up and whispered, “Mr. Conrad, Miss Conrad went to Mrs. Conrad’s studio tonight.”

The man creased his good-looking brows. He asked in a cold tone, “What has she done?”

“Miss Conrad took a few men from the Conrads’ Mansion and wanted to make a scene, but...”

Clarence paused and cast a glance at him, “Go on.”

Nathan immediately continued, “Mr. Carter happened to show up and stopped Miss Conrad.”

Clarence pressed his lips. When he was about to say something, a few messages popped up on his cell phone.

The latest one was sent to him by Vincent half an hour ago.

In the photo, Stella and Emmett were sitting in a restaurant, chatting and laughing as if there were nobody around.

Clarence tightened his grip on the cell phone, and his knuckles had gone pale.

Nathan tentatively called him, “Mr. Conrad?”

Clarence said in a cold tone, “Got back to the Conrads’ Mansion.”

“Yes, Mr. Conrad.”

On the way, Clarence kept staring out of the window. After a while, he asked, “How’s your investigation going? Found anything?”

Nathan nodded and reported, “Although Mrs. Joanna has almost erased every evidence, I found the person who called the emergency call. According to her, Mrs. Conrad fell off the stairs in the shopping mall. When she saw the scene, only Mrs. Conrad was there alone. Hence, she didn’t know if she missed the step and fell or was pushed down. However, Miss Conrad went abroad that evening after the incident happened to Mrs. Conrad. In my opinion...”

Clarence didn’t speak. His handsome and cool features were covered with a murderous look.

Half an hour later, the black Rolls-Royce passed through the carved gate and was pulled over next to the garden.

When Dempsey heard that Clarence came back, a trace of unhappiness flashed through his face, “Why did he come back?”

Since Stella had the car accident and Dempsey failed to attain his hopes, he wasn’t in the mood to maintain the thin family affection with Clarence anymore.

The most regretful thing that he had done this life was to take in Clarence after Justin had encountered the car accident, despite the objections from others.

Otherwise, he would have to put on so much effort to snatch Conrad Group back.

Dempsey took a deep breath. He walked out of the study with his walking stick.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he saw several men come upstairs.

Seeing that, Dempsey frowned and looked at Clarence, “What are you doing?”

Clarence answered indifferently, “I’ll get even with someone for the incident that happened three years ago.”

Dempsey snapped, “Get even with someone? Haven’t you done enough to make a farce recently? You said you’ll marry the girl from the Steward family, and then you called it off. Now, you’ve made it so embarrassing. How could I explain it to the Steward family?”

Clarence remained expressionless, “Really? I thought you’ve been maintaining a pleasant relationship with the Steward family recently.”

Since the truth was exposed, Dempsey didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He stroked the top of the walking stick and said, “I’m trying to make it up for them on your behalf.”

Clarence snorted and didn’t buy it.

Right then, they heard Annie yell from upstairs, “What are you doing? I dare any of you to lay a finger on me! Believe it or not. I’ll chop off your hand!”

Dempsey followed the voice and looked up. When he was about to say something, Clarence said in a cold tone, “If she didn’t want to move, drag her downstairs.”

Annie stiffed.

She had never expected that Clarence would come to get even with her so quickly.

She looked around the men who were surrounding her, realizing that Clarence wasn’t kidding with her. Most probably, she would be dragged downstairs.

However, she was still in the Conrads’ Mansion, and both her uncle and aunt were there. She didn’t think Clarence dared to do anything to her.

Biting her lower lip, Annie walked downstairs.

Seeing her come down, Dempsey withdrew his gaze and asked unhappily, “What the heck do you want?”

Clarence ignored him. His gaze passed him and fell on Annie.

Annie walked slowed to him and said with hesitation, “Clar... Clarence, did you want to see me?”

“Must I repeat what you’ve done?” Clarence said in an arctic cold tone, “Annie Conrad, I’ve warned you more than once, haven’t I?”

“But...” Annie’s face was full of grievance, “I went to find her just to ask why she had made Horace call off our engagement. I truly haven’t done anything to her. Besides... another man was defending her. How could I have the chance to make a move?”

Dempsey understood what was going on. He turned to ask, “Annie, did you go to find Stella?”

Since it had come so far, Annie knew it would be useless for her to make any excuse. She could only put Stella on the blame, “I just went to ask her, but she directly slapped me... A man from nowhere helped her. She has hooked up with countless men. I don’t think the baby earlier wasn’t the child of our Conrad family at all...”

Dempsey didn’t like Annie, but her surname was Conrad. Now she was slapped, and it was a disgrace for the Conrad family.

Hence, he decided to defend her.

Dempsey said in a deep voice, “Annie was the person getting bullied. Why didn’t you go to get even with Stella but come here for Annie? Clarence, you...”

Clarence interrupted him, “As I said, I came here for the incident that happened three years ago.”

Upon hearing it, Annie suddenly widened her eyes, feeling a chill rising from her spines.

Three years ago...

She wondered if Clarence had known the truth.

Before Dempsey spoke, Annie said in a harsh voice, “Stella told you, didn’t she? Clarence, please don’t believe her. The woman tried every possible means to marry into the Conrad family. It’s one of her conspiracies. She did it on purpose. She aimed to revenge on me.”

Clarence looked at her expressionlessly, “Tell me. Why would she want to revenge you?”

“I...”

Annie was in a panic. For a moment, she couldn’t figure out any proper excuse. In a hurry, she said, “Clarence, you know, she hates the Conrad family and all of us. Hence, she wanted to set me up. I’m truly innocent. I have nothing to do with that incident. It was her own fault. She had a fake pregnancy and she tried to set me up. I’ve done nothing.”

Upon hearing it, Dempsey frowned deeply, “Annie, what have you done?” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Looking at the straw in front of her to save her life, Annie grabbed Dempsey’s sleeve, “Uncle Dempsey, I’ve done nothing at all. Believe me. I truly haven’t done anything. It’s all that woman’s fault. She hates the Conrad family and she wants to set me up.”

Clarence said indifferently, “You’ve overthought. Stella didn’t tell me anything.”
