Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 122

The office of SG Jewelry Magazine.

As soon as the staff who was in charge of delivering the jewelry to the charity banquet was gone, Modesty showed up in a corner. She dialed a number, “They’re on the way to there now.”

A man’s voice was heard on the end of the other line, “Got it.”

Modesty added, “Remember what I’ve told you. You must deal with it before entering the jewelry exhibition hall. Otherwise, it’s easy for them to find you.”

After a moment of silence, the man on the other end of the line said, “Modesty, are you sure you’re going to do it?”

His questions seemed to have triggered the switch in Modesty’s heart. With an ironic smile, she said, “Do you think I want to do it truly? For the designer’s contest three years ago, I put in all my effort, but I only got the second prize. I should be the one who’s going to Paris originally, but it turned out that it was because she dumped it.”

As she spoke, she inhaled, “I just want to make the woman who stands in my way disappear. What’s so wrong with it? Only she will disappear that my dream and goals could come true. I don’t want to lead the life that everyone disdains me any longer. Mr. Miller, will you help me?”

“Modesty, once this is found out, please put all blame on me. I won’t get you involved.”

Modesty said, “Mr. Miller, just follow my instructions. You won’t be found.”

After hanging up the phone, Modesty clenched her fists tightly. Then she turned away.

This time, she definitely would make Stella get out of the design industry completely!

...

Cafe.

Channing poured a glass of milk to Stella. Sitting opposite, he asked, “Why do you have time to come over?”

Stella held the glass and took a sip. Then she answered, “It’s weekend today. I don’t need to work.”

Channing was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Sherry told me that you’re going to attend a charity banquet.”

Stella was silent for a moment.

She didn’t expect that Sherry would tell Channing so soon.

She smiled awkwardly, “Well, some accident happened. I can’t go now.”

“Is Clarence Conrad attending it? You don’t want to see him, right?”

Stella said, “What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with him. I just...”

She didn’t know how to explain to him. Hurriedly, she wanted to change the subject. She glanced at the girls who were peeping at their table, “I see so many girls have crushes on you. Don’t you like anyone?”

Channing answered indifferently, “I don’t plan to have a girlfriend.”

“Why not? Your age is just the right one to fall in love with. It’s a pity if you don’t have a girlfriend.”

“Why didn’t you fall in love with anyone at that time?”

Stella was rendered speechless.

This kid poked at her sore spot.

She didn’t answer him until a long while later, “I was busy working part-time to get my tuition fee and living allowance. Besides... although I didn’t have a boyfriend, I had a crush on a boy. It also felt quite good.”

“Hasn’t he engaged to another woman? You didn’t end up being together. What’s so good about it?”

Stella shushed, drinking the milk.

A few minutes later, Channing asked, “Do you... want to find that man?”

Stella didn’t get what he meant, “Who?”

Channing pressed his lips, “The man on the photos.”

“Chan...”
