Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 209

In the next few days, whenever Bernice wanted to make a fuss in Stella’s studio, she would be stopped for various reasons before reaching the door and she was quite confused.

But no matter what happened, she was still trying hard to get the great reward from Phoebe.

In the afternoon of a Friday, when her daughter came home from school, she pulled her aside and whispered some words into her ear.

The girl’s face was written all over with horror when she heard the words, “No… We can’t do this… We will be arrested…”

Bernice pinched her with great force and cursed, “You ungrateful child. It’s a waste to raise you. Whenever I ask you to do something, you would reject it. If you’re smart enough, we would have been living a rich life!”

“I…”

“Cut the craps. I will not let go of you if you fail!”

Seeing that her mom was going to slap her, the girl shrank out of instinct.

Bernice grabbed her and then hailed a taxi, “Go to the University A.”

She had been there to learn more about Stella and had arranged everything. And she had been waiting for her daughter to come home from school.

In the café…

The manager said, “Chan, tomorrow is Saturday, can you come here?”

“Sorry I can’t. I have to visit my sister.”

“Oh please don’t, tomorrow is the weekend and many girls will miss you. Please give them some time to have a look at you.”

“…”

Channing put the cleaning cloth on the table and said to the manager, “I finish the cleaning. I have to go first.”

Looking at his back, the manager heaved a long sigh. Being handsome was also a kind of trouble.

Channing walked out of the café and then took out her phone and made a call.

With his brows knitted, he asked, “Is there any news?”

The person at the other end of the phone replied, “Young man, I suggest you give up. The photos were taken twenty more years ago. Maybe the man you’re searching for has passed away.”

Channing slightly pressed his lips together, “I can pay more.”

“You know, it’s not a matter of money. There are many people in this world. And even though you can give me a great reward, I still don’t know how I can find out the person. Furthermore, it’s meaningless even if you manage to find him. Just give up.”

Channing wanted to say something, but at the next moment, he suddenly heard a weak cry for help from the roadside, “Someone helps me…”

He put his phone into the pocket and followed the voice.

A girl in school uniform was sitting behind the bush not far away with her arms around her knees. It looked like she was in agony.

Channing walked towards her and then squatted in front of her, “What’s wrong?”

The girl replied with her head lowered, “I sprained my ankle.”

Channing looked towards her leg and asked, “Can you stand up? I can send you to the hospital.”

The girl tried to stand up but fell again.

Channing immediately supported her by her arm, “Move slowly.”

The girl moved again and she almost leaned against his arms.
