Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 142

How could Modesty not take it to her heart after learning about this?

No wonder that Stella’s clothes were all baggy when she was working in SG. Modesty felt weird before. It turned out that it was because Stella was pregnant.

Modesty paused and then asked tentatively, “Ms. Steward, is the Conrad family you mentioned just now the one that controls the Conrad family.”

“Yep.”

After ending the call, Phoebe looked out of the window and gradually curled her lips into a smile.

She just needed to spread the information, and someone would take actions in place of her.

Ever since Clarence moved back to the Conrad mansion, the ambience in the house became more oppressive. But Stella felt that her life, which was like that of a prisoner’s, became boisterous and lively now.

She would be angered by him every day.

That wretched man suddenly became free recently. He didn’t go to the company and stay in the house all day long and satirized her from time to time.

Time flew and it was only several days left to Dempsey’s birthday party.

The closer to the date, the more Stella was. She was afraid there would be some accidents.

But generally, your wish was hard to come true, while your foreboding would come immediately.

Two days before Dempsey’s party, the police received an anonymous report, saying that someone in the Conrad family was taking drugs.

Dempsey’s expression was excessively hideous when the police officers came to the Conrad family, “This is impossible! This is ridiculous!”

The police captain apologized to him, “Mr. Conrad, this matter have drawn the attention of many people and the journalists also have learned about this. We have to come here according to the rules. Once it is proved that the report was fake, we will investigate it and give you a satisfactory explanation.”

“Investigate it in details.” Dempsey held his walking stick tightly. He looked very angry, “The Conrad family has been engaged in business for several generations, yet all of them had never violated the laws. We never touch the drugs, nor do we do harm others. But now someone even made a fake report to the police. I want to see who is so bold to maliciously spread rumors about the Conrad family!”

“That’s right, Mr. Conrad.” The police captain added, “But please ask your families to cooperate with us to have n examination. Only in this way can we prove that the Conrad family is innocent.”

Although Dempsey was displeased, he knew deep down that if he refused to be cooperative now, it would give that reporter an opportunity.

Then all the members of the Conrad family left their samples for examination.

The police captain said, “Sorry to bother you guys. Is there anyone who hasn’t had an examination?”

Annie, whit her hands crossed in front of her chest, said disdainfully, “Stella is still upstairs.”

Dempsey took a glance at the maid standing beside him and said, “Ask her to come downstairs.”

“Roger.”

The maid went downstairs.

In a bush not far away, two journalists successfully sneaked into the mansion when the maids were having an examination. They were nervous and excited.

Although they didn’t dare to offend the Conrad family, the one who called them before told them that this would be a piece of breaking news. If they were the first to report this news, they might be famous for it and earn much money later.

Stella, who was still sleeping upstairs, was woken up by the knocking on the door. When she heard that the police officers were here to investigate drugs, she was still in a trance. Stella came back to her sense after a long while, “I know it. I have to change my clothes first and I will go downstairs soon.”

When the maid left, Stella walked to the window and saw that there were many people and two police vans in the garden downstairs.

It seemed like this matter was quite serious.

After going downstairs, Stella went to register her information first. When the police captain asked her about her relationship with the Conrad family, she was stunned for a moment. She didn’t know how to answer the question.

But it seemed like Dempsey also didn’t want to admit her identity openly. He said impatiently, “We won’t run away. You just need to examine her and you can find me if there’s any problem.”
