Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 170

Seeing that she kept silent, Sherry could roughly guess why she said so. She patted Stella on the shoulder, “Stella, what are you talking about? If you are tired, we can hire as many designers as we want, but I don’t want you to resign... Honestly, I don’t think the wretched man wanted to make trouble to you purposely. He seems to aim for something else.”

Stella frowned, “What does he want?”

Sherry thought for a moment and answered slowly, “What does a man want from a woman? You are beautiful and you have a nice shape. If I were him, I want you as well.”

Stella choked up.

She said crossly, “Could you please just shut up?”

Conrad Group.

Clarence was sitting on his chair, supporting his head with his right hand. His fingers knocked slightly on his temple, and he was lost in thought.

After two minutes, he pressed the button for the internal line, “Come over.”

Soon, Nathan showed up in his office, “Mr. Conrad, did you want to see me?”

Clarence looked up at him and asked indifferently, “What’s the relationship between Emmett Carter and Stella?”’

Nathan asked tentatively, “Mr. Conrad, do you remember Mr. Carter?”

Clarence leaned against the back of his chair with an expressionless look, “Star Ferry Technology is developing fast and aggressively since it was migrated back in May last year. Emmett is known as the future of the high-tech industry. Do you think I should ignore him?”

Nathan curled his lips in secretly. It turned out that he said he didn’t know Mr. Carter purposely.

He said, “As I know, Mrs. Conrad and Mr. Carter were there for their classmate reunion.”

Clarence frowned, “Horace Jason is her classmate. Now so is Emmett Carter.”

Nathan corrected him, “Mrs. Conrad and Mr. Jason were not classmates, but they were each other’s first love.”

Clarence looked over at him slowly, his features full of frost.

Nathan immediately added, “Mrs. Conrad and Mr. Carter should be ordinary classmates, different from her relationship with Mr. Jason...”

Before he could finish his words, Nathan sensed something wrong with the atmosphere in the office, so he shushed.

Ignoring him, Clarence said, “Star Ferry Technology was founded abroad. It has developed so rapidly in a few years. Emmett Carter can’t do it alone. What’s his background?”

Nathan answered, “Both Mr. Carter’s parents were scientific researchers. He doesn’t have any glorious background. However, all funds of Star Ferry Technology came from abroad. They should have the investment from companies abroad.”

Clarence quieted down. Suddenly he looked over at Nathan.

The latter stiffed, feeling that cold sweat oozed on his back.

“Mr. Conrad, anything else?”

“Have you chased after a woman before?”

Nathan couldn’t get what he meant, “What? ... Pardon me?”

Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips. Waving his hand, he said, “Forget it. You may leave now.”

Nathan walked out of the office in confusion. After he was standing outside, he finally got what Clarence asked - Mr. Conrad asked if he had chased after a woman before.

Nathan wondered why Clarence asked him this question. He looked back at the door. Hadn’t he always been helping Mr. Conrad chase after Mrs. Conrad?

In the office, Clarence picked up his phone and stared at Vincent’s name for a long while. When he was about to call him, there was a call incoming from another number.
