Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 315

Although she had agreed to a date with Clarence the next day, she still had to go to her studio in the morning.

When she got up, the wretched man was still sleeping in.

Since he was always working hard, Stella didn’t wake him up.

She wrote a note and put it on the nightstand. Then she left home.

Standing in front of the elevator, she pressed the button to go downstairs, waiting there leisurely.

Right then, the neighbor’s door was open.

Daniel stretched out his head and looked around. After ensuring that Clarence wasn’t around, he quickly walked out.

Stella greeted him. “Good morning, Daniel.”

“Good morning, Ms. Radomil. It’s still so early. Are you going to work?”

Stella nodded. “Yeah. I have something to deal with in the afternoon, so I need to go to work early.”

Daniel stood next to her. “By the way, I haven’t been to your studio before, Ms. Radomil. May I take the chance to go there today?”

Stella knew that he had something to talk to her, so she slightly smiled. “All right.”

Out of the community, Daniel looked back again and ensured that Clarence hadn’t followed them.

Seeing that, Stella asked, “What are you looking for?”

Daniel let out a hollow laugh. “Nothing. By the way, is Mr. Conrad staying here recently?”

Upon hearing his question, Stella felt a bit awkward and didn’t know how to answer.

Fortunately, Daniel didn’t insist on getting the answer. He switched back to go down to the business. “What happened in the bidding the day before yesterday puzzled me a bit. Ms. Radomil, could you please...”

As she walked, Stella said steadily, “A few months ago, Jeffrey Radomil accidentally died because of the prison break. When Chan and I were sorting his belongings, I found a box of his, in which there were my mother’s remains.”

Daniel asked, “Her remains? What are they?”

“A few photos and a pocket watch. It wasn’t until then did I know that Jeffrey Radomil isn’t my birth father. The man in the photo is. Jeffrey Radomil was probably jealous. He had cut the man’s face on the photo.”

“Does that pocket watch belong to Charles Steward?”

Stella nodded slightly. “In the beginning, I guessed that Charles Steward might know my biological father, but I never thought in that way until I’ve found the selling records of the pocket watch.”

Daniel frowned. “How did you know Charles Steward might know your biological father?”

“Because Chan used to post a notice in the missing person’s column on the newspapers as well as use other means, trying to find that man. But Charles Steward was trying to stop him and blocked the information.”

“When did it happen?”

“Probably one or two months ago.”

Daniel frowned more deeply. “That means Charles Steward knew that they were looking for him, but he didn’t want you to find more information, so he deliberately blocked the information. Besides, when you went to see him with the photos, he should have known who you are.”

Upon hearing it, Stella was silent for a long while. Then she said, “It seems so.”

“But, don’t you feel it quite weird?”

Stella was confused. “Why weird?”

Daniel explained, “The Steward family is quite powerful. If he didn’t want you to find any clues, how could you find some?”

Stella paused for a long while after hearing his question. She said, “It was... My friend helped me find an owner of a pocket watch manufacture. He took me to the warehouse, in which the selling information of the pocket watch was kept.”

“Ms. Radomil, please don’t misunderstand me. The information that the person gave to you was correct. Charles Steward did buy that pocket watch, which also belongs to him. You were also correct to look into the matter behind it. However, it might be someone who purposely led you to investigate in this direction. Have you ever thought what would happen next if you went to find Charles Steward with the pocket watch?”

Daniel continued, “No matter what protection you have prepared ahead, you would definitely in danger.”

Stella knew what he meant. She had thought about this problem before. When Daniel mentioned it now, she realized that it was way too easy for her to find the clue.

It would be fine if the clue led to something else, but it led to Charles Steward, who had been always alert to her. He wouldn’t expose any flaw. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Upon realizing it, Stella immediately pulled out her cell phone to call the owner of the manufacturer, but the phone number didn’t exist.

She called her friend who provided her with the owner’s information, but her friend didn’t know the details at all. When he looked into the pocket watch, it was the owner who took the initiative to contact him, informing him that they used to produce that type of pocket watch.

Stella put away her cell phone, pressing her lips slightly.

It seemed that besides her, someone else also targeted Charles.

Stella suddenly looked up at Daniel.

The latter met her gaze, subconsciously taking a few steps back. With an awkward smile, he asked, “Ms. Radomil, what’s wrong?”

Stella said, “How did you know the direction that I looked into was correct? I just told you the pocket watch belongs to Charles Steward, but I didn’t tell you my doubts. However, it seems that you know what I’m thinking.”

Daniel didn’t expect that she could react so fast and even questioned him. He could only let out a hollow laugh and said, “Well... Phoebe Steward told me about it.”

“Did she tell you what I was doubting about? Probably she even didn’t know why I must move into the Steward’s, but you know it.”

“Me? I don’t know at all. I just said that at random.”

“No way. Since long ago, you’ve been reminding me to be careful with Phoebe Steward and Charles Steward. You should know much more than I do.”

Stella paused, and then added, “Is the reason that you approached Phoebe Steward and targeted Charles Steward...”

Daniel immediately interrupted her, “No. No. Ms. Radomil, you’ve truly misunderstood. As you said, I deliberately approached Phoebe Steward and targeted Charles Steward. I must have done a careful investigation before that. Otherwise, I would be seeking death.”

Daniel hadn’t expected that he wanted to ask Stella for some information but was questioned by her. He was almost exposed.

He had to admit that Stella had a clear mind.

However, his explanation also made sense.

Stella believed. She returned to her senses and kept walking forward. After taking a few steps, she turned around and asked, “Are you still coming to my studio?”

Daniel said, “Of course. I do want to see your studio.”

He rubbed the back of his head, following her quickly.

After walking for a moment, he added, “Ms. Radomil, I’m quite curious about something. May I ask about it?”

“Please go ahead.”

“Since your biological father might be a different man, Chan...”

Upon hearing it, Stella paused her paces slightly. After a few seconds, she answered, “May I ask you to do me a favor?”

Daniel nodded in agreement. “Sure. Go ahead.”

Stella said, “Please don’t mention anything about this matter to Chan.”
