Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 257

Hearing this, Daniel smiled, “Ms. Radomil, are you trying to ask me what purpose I have in approaching Phoebe? Is that right?”

Although Stella’s words were euphemistic, the meaning was not hard to guess.

Stella didn’t say anything, which was considered as acquiescence.

Daniel added, “What if I told you that I did it because I really liked her?”

Stella smiled, “Of course, I would believe whatever you say. And since this question is personal, it’s okay for you not to answer me.”

“That’s not so much. Just that, even if I am up to something, I think we should be on the same side. Don’t you think so?”

The smile on Stella’s face slowly faded. She was clear of what Daniel meant. He expected her to also be on the opposite side of Phoebe. So, even if Stella had guessed that Daniel was approaching Phoebe with some kind of purpose, Stella wouldn’t use this to pin Daniel down.

After a while, Stella said, “Actually, for something so obvious like this, if I can see it, I bet so did Phoebe too.”

“This depends on what her ultimate goal is. Having the same goal is the only way to walk on the same path.”

For now, Phoebe just wanted to use Daniel to break the marriage contract with the Conrad family. So, she didn’t care about his reason for approaching her.

As for Charles, although he was clear in mind, he had no tangible evidence and didn’t know about Daniel yet. So, naturally, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

Stella raised her lips again, “I know.”

Just as she was about to turn around, Daniel spoke again, “Ms. Radomil, you should have noticed that Phoebe has a lot of animosity towards you. And with what happened tonight, she would make things even more difficult for you. No matter what happens afterwards, it would be best for you not to confront her face to face again like you did today.”

He continued, “After all, there are some tactics that are unimaginable, yet but not something that they won’t do.”

Stella nodded gently, “Thanks.”

“You are welcome. As I said earlier, you and I are on the same side.”

When Stella went back, Sherry was sitting on the sofa, hugging a pillow and concentrating on watching the TV, as if she didn’t care at all about what they had talked about.

After hearing the sound of the open door, she got up and said, “Stella, I’m going to take a bath. You get some sleep.”

“Okay, good night.”

“Good night.”

After entering the bedroom, Stella sat at her desk and took out the photos and a pocket watch from the storage box. She looked at them carefully, and her thoughts couldn’t help but drift away.

She struggled to recall, but there was nothing left in her mind other than the blaze.

After a while, Stella felt a slight headache and was just about to put the pocket watch back when she suddenly remembered what Clarence had said. She turned the watch over and saw a series of numbers at the bottom, which should be the production batch number.

For something twenty years ago, was it still possible to find any clues now?

Stella was silent for a while. She then took out her phone to photograph all the specific details of the pocket watch to see if she could find out anything when she had the chance.
