Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 136

Dempsey was the one who disliked that Clarence had moved back. He looked extremely annoyed, but he couldn’t say anything.

Obviously, the atmosphere in the Conrads’ Mansion had become more stressful and tense.

When Annie was about to go back to her room, she was stopped by Clarence in front of the stairs.

She was so frightened. Looking back at him, she tried her best to be calm, “Yes... Yes, Clarence?”

Clarence cast her an expressionless glance. He said flatly, “I remember I’ve warned you.”

Annie knew that he was getting even with her. In a hurry, she explained, “That woman... Stella’s pregnancy wasn’t exposed to me. I swear.”

Upon hearing it, Clarence looked at Annie coldly. She didn’t know if he bought it or not, but she just felt her hair stand on end, wrapped over by the fear.

Annie gritted her teeth. She knew if she didn’t tell him the truth now, he would sooner or later find it out. She whispered, “It’s Rebecca. She mentioned that Stella is pregnant, and Uncle Dempsey overheard her...”

Clarence asked, “How did she know?”

“I... I don’t know either. However, Rebecca said that she knew Stella has been pregnant long ago. She should get to know it on Aunt Joanna’s birthday. However, she always thought that Stella was pregnant with Horace’s baby...”

Annie was quite smart when speaking. She pulled Rebecca into the mere and also reminded Clarence that the matter Stella was pushed into the pond wasn’t an accident. She completely got away from being suspected.

Clarence suddenly chuckled. When he looked up, his black eyes were full of coldness. He said, “Annie Conrad, don’t play any tricks in my presence. I’ll look into the matters you mentioned one by one.”

Annie tried hard not to let out a trembling voice, “Clarence, I’ve told you the truth. I didn’t lie.”

After Clarence walked away, Annie trotted into her bedroom quickly. All her back was covered in a cold sweat.

...

Nathan walked behind Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, shall we look into the Jason family?”

Clarence said, “Not necessary.”

After a pause, he asked, “Has Rebecca Jason given birth?”

“Yes. She gave birth five days ago.”

“Send her a gift for me.”

Nathan nodded, “What should I write on the card?”

Clarence said indifferently, “It’s getting cold. Stay away from the cold water.”

“Okay, Mr. Conrad,” Nathan answered.

Then he walked away quickly.

When passing Stella’s door, Clarence paused a bit and cast a glance at it.

While Stella was sitting in front of the desk, drawing drafts to kill time, she heard the knocks on her door.

She checked the time. It was nine o’clock.

Usually, the midnight snack would be delivered at ten.

She glanced at the door and roughly figured out who was outside.

She put down her brush, stood up, and walked to open the door. She said crossly, “Why are you...”

Before finishing her words, she saw the person outside the door, her expression slightly changing.

Joanna said indifferently, “Do you think it was Clarence Conrad?”
