Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

After Stella got out of the elevator, she was taken by a assistant into CEO office.

In the office, Justin was sitting in front of a tea table, reading documents.

Hearing the knock on the door, he looked up and smiled, “Stella, it’s been so long.”

Stella just nodded.

Justin told the assistant, “Serve Ms. Radomil a cup of tea.”

After the assistant left. Justin put down files and asked Stella to sit down.

Stella went to sit in front of him.

“Stella, I've been busy recently and didn't find the time to pay a visit. How are you and Clarenc…” said Justin softly.

Stella interrupted him flatly, “You set up my brother.”

It was not a question, but a statement.

Justin smiled with a little distress and confusion, “I’ve heard what happened to your brother. It seems he had

conflicts with Chassell Barret. One was hurt and sent to the hospital and the other to the police station. I don’t

understand what you mean. What does that have to do with me?”

“Chassell Barret should have been in jail. If it weren't for you who bailed him out, he wouldn't have gone to find

Chan?” said Stella.

“Stella, it’s only your guess.” replied Justin.

Stella knew he was implying that she had no evidence.

But Justin got the thing done so flawlessly, he wouldn't have left any trace behind.

So she continued, “I know why you did this. But no matter Chan or the two dead workers, they are innocent! You

shouldn’t have revenge on them.”

Justin only smiled.

He pulled a blanket covering his legs, “Did Clarence know you are here?”

“It doesn't whether he knows or not.”

Justin smiled, “If he knew, he wouldn't allow this. He has already thought I’m the bad guy.”

He paused and added, “Do you think so too?”

Stella remained calm, “Clarence and I regarded you as the only one who was different in the Conrad family.”

“The Conrad family?” Justin laughed, leaning back in the wheel chair, and signed, “it’s the Conrad family where

breeds my hatred. Growing up in a family like that, how good can I be?”

“You should live a happy life, not living in hatred.”

“You may forget, since the accident I have been confined to a wheelchair, and my life no longer belongs to me.”

Stella was lost for words.

Justin pushed himself to the floor-to-ceiling window and spoke, “In the last 20 years or so, I had never blamed

anyone for this traffic accident. I only told myself, it was my destiny. After Clarence came home, my mother hated

and insulted him. Whenever she beat and scorned him, I always stood in front of him to protect him. My mother

had told me that Clarence came home to compete with me for the family assets. At that point, I thought it was

harder for me to live than death. Money didn't mean anything to me, I was still condemned to a wheelchair.”

“In those years, I had no hope and did not want to see anyone. I didn't want them to look at me with sympathy and

pity. The Conrad family, like hell, had trapped me there.”

“I also envied Clarence that he could go out of the Conrad family and pursued what he liked, and wasn't affected by

gossips.”

“Until Caesar James came to tell me my miserable life was caused by Clarence’s grandfather. In order to take

Clarence to the Conrad family, his grandfather set me up and wanted me out of the way. Unfortunately, I didn’t die,

only disabled.”

Then he turned back to her and the smiled on his face turned even bigger, “Stella, if you were me, could you

accept all of these?”

Stella frowned, “You can take revenge on the James family, on anyone who hurt you. But not the innocent ones.”

“Innocent? Who?” Justin replied, “I only paid them back in their own coin. Why all of you see me as the bad guy?

What about the ones who hurt me?”

“No…”

“Lyndon Steward made all the efforts to get what did not belong to him, even having his own parents and your

mother killed. Shouldn’t he die?”

“So his death was in your plan.”

Justin chuckled, “Why? His death was no good to me. It was only a gift for you, do you like it?”

Stella asked, “Why did you kill Caesar James?”

“He is too reckless and impulsive.” Justin added, “I had indeed chosen the wrong ally. If I had known he would be

defeated by Darnell James so easily, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time on him.

“What about my kid?”

He turned back to look at her for a while, then signed, “Stella, you know, your kid shouldn’t have been born in the

first place. However, to a certain extent, he had shouldered part of the pain for you

Stella clenched her fist and glowered at him, “Did you do this to avenge your mother’s death?”

Justin smiled, “Certainly not. That’s her own choice. She thought she could use her death to induce me to hate

Clarence and thus live my life in the way she had wanted.”

Stella frowned and suddenly realized something, “Before her death, you already knew her plan, but you did not

stop her. You just watch her suicide?”

The smile slightly faded on Justin 's face, “In those years, she was the same as me, trapped in the Conrad family

and manipulated by hatred and jealousy. She hated Clarence but couldn’t kill him. She even didn’t find the relation

of the James family. She had lost the will to live in this world.”

Stella gaped. She found the man in front of her totally unfamiliar.

She had thought he was only against them, and had never expected that Joanna Perez’s death was also a part of

his plan.

Justin continued, “Since you have asked, I could tell you the whole story. The medicine bottle Clarence found in her

room, I put it there.”
