Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

At the graveyard, the sky, which was originally clear, was slowly covered by a few dark clouds, and it darkened

instantly.

There was a great sense of oppression as a storm was coming.

Everyone held their breath as they waited for Darnell's answer. It was as if their lives were in his hands.

As they waited with bated breath, Darnell laughed softly, "So I should thank you?"

Caesar pursed his lips, and his eyes, hidden behind the glasses, had a baleful glint.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Caesar had quite a few men with him, but they had just been dealt with by Darnell's men, and most of them were

dead or wounded.

In a situation like this, he had no upper hand at all.

The only reason he was still standing here to negotiate with Darnell was that he still had Elaine in his hands.

Darnell took a step forward, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Your greatest triumph today is no more than ruining

Grandpa's ashes. But have you checked that it's really his ashes?"

Caesar's face changed, "You tampered with the ashes?"

"You're wrong. There are no ashes at all."

At that moment, Hilbert was helped out from the side by Darnell's mother. Although he was hobbling with a cane,

he still looked in good spirits and would have no problem living for a few more years.

Elaine was exhilarated, "Great-grandpa ..."

Caesar burst into a hysteric laughter, "You put on a good show. Well, well, well, turns out I'm the one who won't

leave here today."

He then looked at Franklin and sneered, "Brother ... I didn't expect that you had set up this trap with them, and

went so far as to use your own daughter as bait ..."

Hilbert sighed, "Caesar, after all this, you still won't turn back?"

"Turn back? Why would I turn back? In all the years I've been banished from the James family, you've never given

me a chance to turn back!" Caesar pulled Elaine over and put the gun to her head, "Fine, since you've all made it

this far, I'll finish this last show with you. Even if I die here today, I have Elaine to bury with me."

Elaine whimpered in a broken voice, "Uncle ..."

Franklin yelled, "Caesar! You've watched Elaine grow up. You're really gonna kill her?"

Caesar laughed indifferently, "Why should I care about that now that I'm going to die?"

Darnell said, "Let her go and you can leave Riverside City."

Caesar probably didn't expect him to make such an offer straight away, and his eyes narrowed slightly as if he was

evaluating the truth of his words.

Darnell continued, "You don't have any other choice."

A moment later, Caesar said, "Okay."

...

As Caesar took Elaine away, Caesar's men were all cleared out. All of the James family were completely relieved.

Hilbert said, "I've given you all a fright today, but I'm glad to see that there was no danger. The James family will not

spare this bastard and will definitely give you an explanation. It is getting late, so go home and get some rest."

Hilbert 's words sound thoughtful but at the same time unquestionable, so even some of the James family members

who had objections stopped talking and left.

Today had been such a fright for anyone that they didn't bother to dwell on the details or the reasons for it. As for

what to do with Caesar, since Hilbert had already said so, they would have to wait and see.

Stella looked at Clarence with confusion and disbelief in her eyes.

Clarence stroke her hair and said softly, "It's over."

Stella asked in a whisper, "Did you know what they were planning in advance?"

Clarence said, "I didn't know until after I got to Riverside City. But no one knew exactly what Caesar was trying to

do."

If he had known that Caesar had prepared the bomb, he would never have brought Stella here.

Stella still didn't quite understand, "But if they just wanted to deal with Caesar, then by using the excuse of Hilbert's

death, they could have lured him back to Riverside City and then had him under control as soon as he arrived. The

situation today where a number of people were injured and Elaine was held hostage by him could've been avoided.

Why ...?"

Clarence looked over, "We'll have to ask them about that."

At that moment, Hilbert came up next to them, "You guys come with me."

In just a moment, all of the James family had left, leaving only Franklin to deal with the aftermath.

Back at the James family, Hilbert said, "I'm sure you all have a lot of questions about what happened today."

Stella frowned, "Elaine ..."

"Don't worry. With Darnell following, she'll be brought back safely."

Clarence said, "I suppose it was expected that Elaine would be hijacked by Caesar."

Hilbert sat in his chair with his cane in both hands and spoke slowly, "Caesar is not really bad by nature. He loves

Elaine no less than any of us."

Stella actually agreed with his words. If Caesar really wanted to do something to Elaine, with all the opportunities at

City N, he would have done it already.

She said, "So ... Caesar would spare Elaine when he was planning to kill everyone in the James family, partly

because he had a hostage to negotiate with, as he said, and partly because he wanted to keep Elaine alive. "

Hilbert nodded slowly, "He was not going to hurt Elaine. All he wanted was revenge on the James family."

"Why exactly?"

Darnell's mother said, "You should have heard that Caesar once had a girlfriend who he had been in love with for

years, but was never accepted by the James family."

Stella said, "I heard a bit about that. As I recall, they finally got the permission from Caesar's father, but for

unknown reasons, Caesar broke up with the woman later. It wasn't long before she was killed in a car accident."

Clarence said, "There were also rumors that Caesar died in the accident with her."

Hilbert sighed, "It was just an excuse for the James family to keep the family secret. Since then, Caesar has been

banished from the family."

Darnell's mother said, "But in reality, this woman wasn't even Caesar's girlfriend, but his father's lover."

Stella couldn't help but gaped at her, "What?!"

Hilbert said, "Franklin and Caesar's mother died young and their father was so busy at work that both children were

taken care of by me for the most time. Caesar, in particular, was not on good terms with his father and didn't

usually get in touch with him. They only saw each other a few times at family gatherings, or during the New Year

holidays."

"Both children were aware of the presence of other women around their father, but because their mother was

dead, they did not bother about it. It was precisely for this reason that caused the tragedy later ..."
