Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

The bail of Channing did not run smoothly.

The media may have got the information from someone and now there were a large number of journalists waiting

eagerly outside the police office.

Seemingly if Channing managed to get out of the gate of the police office, they would produce articles criticizing

the manipulation of the police system by the rich as soon as possible.

Facing the pressure from both sides, the police chief was concerned so much so that he felt like retiring instantly.

Looking at Clarence who was sitting on the sofa, the chief finally opened his mouth cautiously, “Mr. Conrad, I think

you’ve noticed the situation outside. Maybe you can have your younger brother staying here for some days until all

has settled down. Then I will send him to you on my own.”

There was no change on Clarence’s face. He just said coldly, “Sir, I have no intention to put you in a dilemma. But

I’m just curious about why someone like Chassell Barret who was under a prison sentence could be bailed. And I

can’t help but wonder why an excellent student with no criminal record who has not been judged guilty yet and has

made great contribution to our country could not be bailed.”

“Ah ...” The Chief looked quite embarrassed, “Don’t worry, Mr. Conrad. I will make it clear why Chassell Barret could

be bailed and inform you as quickly as I can. But you know how powerful the media is nowadays. I know you don’t

want to make a big deal out of this case. So ... maybe you can wait for a few days.”

The Chief continued, “And Chassell is still in the ICU now. If after a few days he woke up, it would turn into a case of

intentional injury and the situation would get better. By then the journalists could do almost nothing about it no

matter how they exaggerate what has happened. Am I right Mr. Conrad?”

A sense of concern welled up on Clarence’s face and he became speechless.

Indeed, he should not bail Channing today. Otherwise, Stella would definitely know what happened.

Noticing Clarence’s attitude having become less aggressive, The Chief instantly stood up and said, “I will definitely

take good care of your younger brother.”

Clarence said, “I hope you could make it clear as soon as possible why Chassell Barret could be bailed.”

“I’m on it.”

Winnie had been waiting in the hall. Now seeing Clarence coming over, she instantly walked to him and said with

one hand clenched in another, “Mr. Conrad, can he be bailed?”

Clarence stopped, “No.”

He had a glimpse at the journalists outside and said, “You wait here until the journalists have all left.”

Winnie opened her mouth but failed to utter a single sound.

She wanted to ask Clarence why Channing could not be bailed.

But if someone as prominent as Clarence couldn’t make the situation better, then there was no need to ask

anymore.

And then Donald came out.

Winnie looked at him. Before she could say anything, Donald shook his head and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses

up his nose, “Not good. He seemed to be reluctant to cooperate.”

Winnie asked, “Then... can I meet him?”

Donald said, “Yes, you can. But he was unwilling to meet you.”

Winnie was stunned, “Are you sure of that?”

Donald coughed, “You may get me wrong. I don’t mean it literally. It’s just...”

He was not adept at explaining things like that. He was afraid that Winnie may misunderstand what he said.

When he was talking to Channing, he could judge from Channing’s attitude and words that the photos did not affect

his love for her.

But now he had no idea how to face her, nor did he know what to say to her. By no means did he want to let her

see he was confined to such a place.

A boy of Channing’s kind had his own pride.

He had glimpse at Donald, “I’m leaving now. You are in charge here.”

After that, Clarence walked away directly.

Winnie was standing there silently. After a while she looked at Donald, “May I have a conversation with you in

private?”

In the corridor of the police office, Winnie said in a hoarse voice with her phone held tight in hands, “How would

Channing be judged in court?”

Donald replied, “It depends on whether Chassell Barret would make it. If he dies, then Channing would become a

murder. He will be sentenced fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than 10 years. But

if f Barret is alive, the lawsuit will be easier to win.”

Winnie said, “But shouldn’t the judgement be based on that fact that it was Chassell Barret who started the

quarrel?”

Donald asked, “Have you seen the videos online?”

Winnie shook her head.

Donald fumbled out his phone and showed a video to her.

Donald said, “It’s the original video going viral online. Obviously, Chassell did not even try to fight back. So ... so

according to what is shown in this video, even if Chassell won't die, it will be almost impossible for Channing to be

acquitted.”

Winnie frowned, “But obviously it was Chassell Barret who kept talking. He was deliberately trying to provoke him.”

“It is quite difficult unless Channing is willing to repeat what Chassell Barret said to him in court. And ...”

Winnie said hurriedly, “And what? You mean evidence? I have the picture Chassell Barret sent me. He tried to

threaten me. I can prove it.”

Donald halted for a few seconds before he said, “The pictures in your phone can only prove that Chassell Barret

tried to threaten you or harass you. But that’s not enough. As to crucial evidence ...”

Winnie said, “Crucial evidence? I would definitely find it!”

Donald said, “No, you can’t. The evidence had been burnt by Channing.”

Some other videos showed that Chassell Barret took out a stack of photos out of his big and after that Channing

instantly began to beat him with all his strength.

Only with the video and the pictures at hand would they have the possibility to win the lawsuit.

Otherwise, the evidence provided by Winnie could not

Winnie was stunned, “What do you mean?”

As the things had happened and Winnie was the victim and witness in this case, Donald decided not to hide the

truth from her, “Channing would do that because Chassell Barret showed a stack of pictures to him...”

Winnie was unable to stand upright and couldn’t helping but lean back against the wall. Tears began to trickle down

her cheeks.

So, the son of bitch had more than one picture of that kind and Channing must have seen those pictures.

Donald said, “I have no intention to invade your privacy. But may I ask you, do you know anything about the

pictures?”

Winnie buried her face in her hands with much agony. She said with quiver in her voice, “I have no idea. They must

have been taken in a sneak way. I’ve never seen those pictures before ...”

Luckily, the picture was taken after she fell asleep. There was at least nothing worse.

But it failed to make things better.

Donald Shawn said, “Here is my advice. You should call the police first and then file a lawsuit against Chassell

Barret. But before that you need to provide evidence. So, the picture would be inevitably seen by the court.”
