Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

When Stella heard of what happened in the Conrad Group from Logan when she was in the Steward Group, she

remained silent for a while, then sent Logan out of the room.

Stella wasn’t surprised at the result at all.

Donald sat on the couch and clicked his tongue, “I’m going to defend Clarence next time if anybody tells me that

Clarence was a cold-blooded person.”

Stella was speechless.

It seemed like Clarence’s choice was within their expectation.

Stella paused a while and continued, “Would it be hard for Clarence to survive in the Conrad Group in the future?”

Donald replied, “Not necessary. When Clarence took over the Conrad Group a few years ago, Dempsey arranged

many of his people in the Conrad Group to monitor and control Clarence. He did well back then, and Dempsey’s

people got chased out of the company at last.”

“Since he was able to get to where he is and fully in charge of the Conrad Group today from scratch, there’s

nothing he couldn’t do. Furthermore, the situation now is way better than when he first took over the company.”

Stella sighed. She didn’t know what to say.

After a while, Donald said, “But…”

Stella looked at him, “What?”

Donald raised his brows, “It was nothing. Alright. So, we’re done for today. I shall head back to the chamber. Call

me if you need me.”

Stella nodded, “Sure.”

Donald headed to the Conrad Group after he got out of the Steward Group.

Clarence was in his office, as well as Vincent when Donald arrived at Clarence’s office.

Donald walked in, “So, what are you all talking about? Isn’t it a little late to feel regret?”

Vincent said, “I’ve dug up Jon’s background. He was an ordinary British Born Chinese. Even his resume was clean.

Nothing is special about him. Before this, he hadn’t gone back to Britain in over ten years.”

“Then how Dempsey contacted him in the first place? I couldn’t figure that out.”

Clarence said calmly, “Joanna was probably the connection.”

Donald said, “Speaking of which, who was the person behind Joanna? We haven’t got any clue about it even after

we’ve watched her for so long.”

Vincent replied, “The person was well-hidden. I think even Joanna didn’t know who the person is. He only offered

help once a while for Joanna.”

“What should we do now then?”

Vincent and Donald looked at Clarence after the question was raised. Clarence raised his brows and said slowly,

“Why are you all looking at me? Just go with our plan.”

Donald said, “Based on how you treated Justin, I’m thinking you’re probably not going to do anything to Joanna.”

Clarence sat on the couch and sounded cold, “Justin and Joanna are different individuals.”

“That’s what you think, but is Justin seeing things that way as well?”

After a long pause, Clarence replied, “It’s different.”

Donald asked, “How so?”

“The Conrad Group was initially belonged to Justin. It doesn’t matter to me if I had to give everything I had to

Justin,” Clarence sounded cold, “But it’s a different case for Joanna. She almost killed Stella.”

Donald said, “It would be best if Justin could let go. If he clung onto the past, he’s going to be a problem.”

Vincent sighed, “Justin sees things much clearer and deeper than us. It’ll be unsolvable trouble if this happened to

us. After all, he had to choose between the reality and his mother who raised him.”

Justin had been a kind person all along.

Heaven and hell were only within a flash of thought.

…

Stella had promised Sherry to go shopping with her the night before. So, Stella headed to the workshop after

sending Clarence a text.

Clarence probably wouldn’t leave the company so early as he just had a board meeting today. Clarence would

probably still be in his office after Stella finished shopping with Sherry.

Stella received Winnie’s call when she was driving.

Winnie came back as she finished her roadshow.

Stella said, “Great! I’m on the way to go shopping with Sherry. You want to tag along?”

Winnie replied, “Sure. Where to?”

Stella sent Winnie the destination after she hung up the phone.

After Stella, Sherry and Winnie met up, three of them looked like they had something on their mind. They were

sighing along the way.

Stella, Sherry and Winnie were sitting in the coffee shop. Sherry bit her straw and asked, “What’s wrong with your

guys? Is there anything worse than what I’m going through? It’s not easy for all three of us to gather here. Lighten

up yourself!”

Winnie didn’t know what happened to Sherry. She asked, “What happened to you?”

Sherry answered casually, “Nothing big. It’s just that I got pregnant after a one-night-stand.”

“What?”

Winnie was surprised, “Who?”

Sherry tried to fake a smile. She didn’t know how to tell Winnie.

Winnie sounded out Sherry on her reaction, “It was Daniel’s?”

Sherry chocked over her drinks. She coughed, then gave Winnie a silent acquiescence.

Winnie asked, “What are you going to do now?”

“The doctor said it is too early to have an abortion now. He asked me to wait for a suitable time. I think it’s only a

few days away.”

“Did Daniel know about it?”

“I’ve told him, and he said he needed some time with it. We’re grown-ups. I understand what he meant.”

Winnie’s tongue was tied. She didn’t know what to say to Sherry.

After a long pause, Winnie glanced at Stella, who zoned out. Winnie bumped Sherry with her elbow, “What about

her? What’s wrong with her?”

Sherry whispered, “You haven’t gone back to the office after you came back, right?”

“… Usually, I don’t go to the office unless there are important agreements to sign or discuss.”

“Then you wouldn’t know that the Conrad Group has been turned upside down.”

After Sherry told Winnie what happened in the Conrad Group, what surprised Winnie the most was, “Mr. Conrad had

a brother?”

Sherry nodded, “I’ve only seen him twice. I guess whom the gods love dies young, or in this case, full of

misfortunes.”

After a long while, Stella returned from the spaced-out status, “What were you guys talking about?”

Winnie and Sherry both felt speechless.

Stella didn’t think it was a big problem for Justin to get into the Conrad Group and held forty per cent of shares.

After what happened, it was obvious that the conflicts between Clarence and the Conrad family surfaced instead of

being kept hidden like how they used to be.

The battlefield was transferred to the Conrad Group.

Stella used to think that Justin could keep himself out of the battle, but based on what happened in the Conrad

Group, Justin was probably trapped in the eye of the storm now.

Joanna was a foe, but Justin helped Stella before.

Furthermore, Justin was special to Clarence.

Justin was forced to be involved in the battle, and no matter how hard Clarence tried, the harm was inevitable.

Most importantly, nobody could change the fact that Joanna was Justin’s birth mother.

But Stella couldn’t let go. She couldn’t’t forgive Joanna.

Stella guessed nobody would feel easy when the time to make decisions came.
