Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 304

On the other side…

After leaving the venue of the bidding, Phoebe immediately came to find Daniel.

She asked in a cold voice, “Do you know that Stella would come to the bidding today?”

Daniel raised his brows when he heard the words, “I don’t know. Why do you suddenly ask this?”

“It seems like that you have a good relationship with her. I think that she would tell you in advance.”

Daniel smiled, “You’re wrong. I and Ms. Radomil are just neighbors. Except for greeting her when bumping into her in the community, we have no other contacts. Oh, exactly it’s not true either. After all, she’s the one that Emmett likes, therefore it’s inevitable for us to have other contacts.”

Daniel continued, “But no matter what, we’re just a bit more familiar than normal neighbors. So how will she tell me about this?”

Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Phoebe took a deep breath and didn’t reply.

Daniel secretly studied her expression and asked in a casual tone, “I went out to deal with something just now. I simply heard that Ms. Radomil came to find Mr. Steward, but I’m not clear of the details. What happened?”

“Never mind.” Phoebe knitted her brows and said impatiently, “I don’t want to talk about this. As for you, can you tell me now?”

Daniel chuckled, “Of course I can tell you if you really want to know it.”

“Spill the beans.”

Daniel leaned against the counter behind him and gently clicked it, “Actually it’s not a big deal. It’s almost like what your father has told you.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Phoebe had been suppressing her anger that was arouse because Stella would move into the Steward family, but now she didn’t deliberately control her tempter and said in a stern voice, “I don’t want to hear the things that I have learned. I want to know the things that I don’t know.”

Daniel took out a photo and put it in front of Phoebe. He said slowly, “The man on the photo is Lyndon Steward, your father’s brother.”

“Then?”

“He coveted everything your father had and became resentful. He kidnapped you and your mother twenty years ago and planned an explosion.”

Phoebe became more and more impatient, “I know all these. Can you talk about…”

Daniel chuckled, “You only know the most surface thing.”

Phoebe was a bit stunned, “What do you mean?”

Daniel didn’t answer her question and continued, “Everyone thought that Lyndon wad hosted by his own petard and died in the explosion. This was what he deserved. But no one knows that he’s still alive.”

“You…”

Phoebe paused as she suddenly realized something.

She paused and then asked, “Where’s Lyndon now? Did he instigate Stella to move into the Steward family?”

Daniel replied, “I don’t know whether he has instigated Stella or now. But have you thought of this, since your father looks similar o Lyndon, who was the one that survived in the explosion?”

Phoebe abruptly looked towards Daniel, “What do you mean?”

“Nothing. It’s just my assumption, so of course you don’t need to believe it. After all, I have no evidence to support my assumption. I can investigate it if you need me to do so.”

Phoebe sneered, “No need. I already know it.”

Stella was definitely Lyndon’s daughter. It was good that she came back now. Since Lyndon didn’t die in the explosion, all of them would be screwed if they brought up the past again.

She would let Clarence know that regretting the engagement with her would be the stupidest decision he made in his life.

Only she could help him.

Watching Phoebe leaving, Daniel gradually pulled a long face.

…

In the Conrad Group…

In the CEO’s office, Dempsey asked the assistant impatiently, “When will it end?”

The assistant wiped the sweats on his face, “A… Almost.”

Dempsey banged his walking stick, “I have been waiting for him for two hours. Does he have any respect to me?”

The assistant didn’t dare to reply and even didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

Dempsey said, “Go to find him. Tell him to come back right away.”

“But… Mr. Conrad never allows others to bother him when he’s having a meeting…”

Dempsey said angrily, “Bother him? Hmm, he deliberately leaves me here. He really becomes more and more unruly. Doesn’t he know that he gets the current status because of me? If I had known that he’s so overweening, I shouldn’t have…”

Before he could finish his words, a calm voice sounded from the door, “What shouldn’t you do?”

Dempsey took a deep breath, yet he didn’t continue his words.

The assistant slightly nodded his head at Clarence, “Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence waved his hand at her, gesturing him to leave the office.

Seeing this, Dempsey’s subordinate also slightly bowed to Clarence and then left the office.

When the door of the office was closed, Clarence sat opposite to Dempsey, crossed his long legs, and said without showing any respect to him, “Spill the beans.”

Dempsey looked displeased, “Clarence, although I didn’t discipline you during this period, I’m still your father after all. Shouldn’t you mind your attitude towards me?”

Clarence curled his lips into a cold and sarcastic smile, “I suggest you to come straight to the point. In this way, it will reduce the unnecessary communication between us and will effectively advance the progress. Of course, if you’re just here to correct my attitude, I have to say sorry to you because it’s inherent.”

Dempsey’s face became gloomier when he heard the words and thought that Clarence was really an unfilial son.

After a short while of silence, he still decided to go straight to the point, “Your brother has cancelled the engagement with the Steward family. I guess you must have learned about it, right?”

Clarence didn’t reply, waiting for his following words.

“Our family cancels the engagements with the Steward family twice, so the Steward family must hate us very much. I think you’re clearer of this.”

Clarence curled his thin lips into a smile when he heard the words and clicked the arm of chair consecutively.

He hadn’t expected that the most anxious one after learning that Stella would come back to the Steward family was not Charles, but his father.

Dempsey directly ignored is impoliteness and said, “Annie’s matter has been a past. As she was the one who was wrong first, I will not probe into the matter. But Clarence, you have to reconsider your marriage.”

“Marriage? To marry who?”

“I selected several girls who have matching family backgrounds with you. I will arrange you to meet them several days later.”

Clarence said slowly, “Girls who have matching family backgrounds to mine. Are they illegitimate daughters?”

Dempsey knitted his brows tightly, “What nonsense are you talking? They’re all the ladies of prestigious and noble families. You…”

“Oh, then I have to say that I’m not a good match for them.”
