Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

The report released by the police stated that Arthur died the night before and his dead body was

thrown into the lake. If it was not because last night’s heavy rain, which brought up his body and carried

it along the river, they would only find it several days later.

Arthur’s head was hit heavily before and there were many stabbing wounds on his body, deep and

shallow. It could be told that this was a revengeful murder.

But they hadn’t found out the exact deadly wound

When Stella was readying the news, Sherry’s voice sounded from aside. She sighed emotionally,

“Stella, see, human beings can’t do too many evildoings; otherwise, they will suffer the consequences

in the end. But after a second thought, I think this is really horrifying. That person called me several

days ago, but today he has become a dead body.”

Stella put down her phone. She was suddenly lost for words.

After a short while of silence, Stella suddenly broke the silence, “Where’s Modesty?”

“I don’t know.” Sherry pondered for a while and then continued, “Do you think that he’s killed By

Modesty? This is impossible. Arthur is robust, so Modesty is not a match for him, not to mention

throwing his dead body into the river. There’s no doubt that it requires great strength. I guess the

murder is a man who has similar bodily form with Arthur.”

Stella also thought this guess reasonable. If it wasn’t that she bumped into Adolph this morning and

that he told her he hadn’t met with Modesty recently, Stella would still think that Modesty was the most

suspicious person when she saw the news.

But according to the current situation, Modesty could by no means kill Arthur and throw away his dead

body by herself without Adolph’s help.

Sherry continued, “Now that Arthur has died, why there isn’t any progress of the matter of bribing the

judges? They’re so patient. If I were them, I would have chosen a desperate fighting against Aurora.”

Stella said, “Let’s wait.”

The two judges had too many benefit entanglements with the Barton Group and they were not that

impulsive. Even though they wanted to seek revenge on Aurora, they wouldn’t allow their benefits to

suffer a loss.

As for Aurora, her life was also not that satisfactory recently. Ever since the appearance of her

biological mother, her father insisted on let that woman live into the Bartons’ Mansion regardless of how

Aurora cried miserably. And it seemed like he wanted to marry her.

Aurora’s birthday party was a big event and many journalists were invited. Now people in the whole

City N had learned about this. Aurora felt it shameful to go out and stayed in the Bartons’ Mansion all

day long, cursing at her mother and throwing things to show her resistance.

The whole Bartons’ Mansion was in a mess because of Aurora.

After noon, Daniel finally came to the studio lazily with a bunch of red roses in his arms.

The employees of the studio were not surprised when seeing this.

But Sherry still couldn’t help but feel awkward. She directly pulled him to the door of Stella’s office and

said, “Stella is waiting for you inside.”

Daniel handed the roses to her and raised his brows, “I will come out soon. Tonight I…”

Sherry pushed him into the office, “Hurry up. Don’t be sluggish.”

Daniel, “…”

When Stella was studying Arthur’s news, she heard a loud voice. When she lifted her head, she saw

Daniel being pushed into the office.

Stella curled her lips into a smile, “What an extraordinary way.”

Daniel coughed, “Sherry told me that you’re looking for me. What’s the matter?”

Stella pressed her lips together, “Do you see the car parked outside?”

“I saw it. It has been following me. But not knowing why, when I woke up today, I didn’t see it. I thought

it has disappeared in my life, but I didn’t expect that it comes here in advance and waits for me here.”

It was in this case that he had the chance to deal with a matter.

Stella said, “I guess they’re here to watch me.”

The smile on Daniel’s face immediately disappeared when he heard the words, “What’s going on?”

“I told Charles last night that I plan to move out of the Stewards’ Mansion.”

“What did he say?”

Stella replied, “He denied it and let me wait until the end of the anniversary celebration of the Steward

Group.”

Daniel knitted his brows, “He must have some conspiracies. Don’t listen to him. Leave that place right

away.”

Stella nodded her head, “Originally I planned to do so, but…”

She paused and then added, “I bumped into Adolph this morning. He told me that they hide Jeffrey in a

place that’s not far away from the Stewards’ Mansion.”

Even though she didn’t utter the rest words, Daniel could still guess it.

He asked, “Do you plan to stay there until find out Jeffrey’s exact whereabouts?”

Stella slightly pressed her lips together, “They have arrested Jeffrey for a long time, so definitely they

must have met for more than once. I don’t know that Jeffrey has told him, nor do I know what he wants

to do by taking advantage of Jeffrey. But I know that he must have a big plan on the anniversary

celebration of the Steward Group and Jeffery will be his biggest bargain chip.”

“But you must be clear that you’re Charles’ target no matter what he wants to do by taking advantage

of Jeffrey.”

“So I plan to stay there. Maybe I will find out some other clues.”

Daniel asked, “Have you gotten Mr. Conrad’s agreement?”

Stella moved her lips trying to something, yet was lost for words.

Clarence was still looking forward to come here to pick her up tonight.

She hadn’t figured out how she should tell him about this.

Daniel continued, “See, you also know that he won’t allow you to do such a dangerous thing. So please

drop the idea. Now that you’ve found out Jeffrey’s whereabouts, we’ll definitely find him.”

Stella asked, “We?”

Daniel realized that he had had a slip of the tongue. He laughed awkwardly, “I… I… and Mr. Conrad. I

believe that he must have been trying to find out Jeffrey’s whereabouts.”

Stella said slowly, “Clarence investigates Jeffrey for the sake of me. But seems like it’s unnecessary for

you to do so.”

Before Daniel could justify for himself, Stella continued, “Even though we’re friends, it’s abnormal for

you to do so. What do you think of it?”

She didn’t give him any chance to justify himself.

Daniel pondered for several seconds and then sighed silently, “Actually this is the case. Emmett

wanted to give you a hand, but he was afraid that you may refuse his help and at the same time that

Mr. Conrad will be unhappy. So he asked me to take care of you. Then aren’t your problems mine?”

Stella smiled, “It’s more unnecessary if it’s because of Emmett. Originally he has helped me a lot

before and I feel quite thankful, but I don’t know how I can return his favors. I don’t want to owe him.”

“Er…”

“No matter what, I want to thank you for your kindness. I will handle this by myself.”

Daniel felt it inappropriate to say anything else when he heard the words. He could only nod his head.

When he walked to the door, he turned around and walked back to Stella, “You’d better discuss it with

Mr. Conrad. I think that he won’t allow you to take the risk.”

After Daniel’s leaving, Stella heaved a sigh and looked out of the windows.

It was true that Clarence wouldn’t agree to it.

Stella took a glance at the clock and quickly handled the tasks to be finished. She then stood up and

walked out of the studio, preparing to go to the Conrad Group.

After driving for several miles, she found that the black car which was parked opposite to her studio

was following her.

Her guess was right.
