Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 258

After seeing the news on the internet, Selina was stunned. She didn’t expect Stella’s studio to produce evidence, and coupled with Winnie’s influence, Selina instantly panicked. She quickly took out her phone to call Phoebe.

Selina asked, “Ms. Steward, this is not what you said before. How come they have evidence on hand?”

Phoebe said faintly, “She’s just scaring you. If you really believe it, then you’ll be playing right into her hands.”

Despite what she said, Selina was still feeling uneasy, “What if she really has the evidence?”

“It’s simple. You’re just a normal customer trying to defend your rights. Even if she comes up with evidence, you can just issue an apology statement then. No matter what, the stuff went out from her studio and she has the responsibility to bear any consequences.”

Selina let out a sigh of relief hearing this. Phoebe was right. Even if the public opinion on this matter were reversed, the problem would still lie with Stella’s studio itself. She just had to bite the bullet and say that this was how things were taken home.

After a while, Selina added, “Ms. Steward, then when are we going to sign the contract for the play you promised me?”

Phoebe said, “The contract can be signed at any time. But I think it would make more sense to wait until things are done before we talk about the specific details. Don’t you think so?”

Selina knew what she meant. After the matter was done, the benefits promised to her would be given to her. In contrast, she would get nothing if the issue was not settled.

Selina added, “Don’t worry, Ms. Steward. I have already made a report to the consumer association and her studio will soon be closed for investigation. When the time comes, my team will guide the public opinion again, letting the public think that she was really arrested for forgery.”

“Okay, you take care of it.”

After hanging up the phone, Phoebe curled her lips slowly, looking coldly ahead.

At this time, she heard the servant’s voice faintly coming from outside the door, “Master Steward is back.”

Immediately afterwards, the door of the study was opened.

After pausing for a while, Phoebe put away her phone and walked over to knock on the study door.

Soon, Charles’s voice came out, “Come in.”

Phoebe gently pushed open the study door, “Dad, I want to talk to you.”

Charles was sitting at his desk, and he put a pocket watch in the drawer, “Are you still wanting to talk about the marriage with the Conrad family?”

Phoebe nodded and slowly said, “The Conrad family’s power is currently in the hands of Clarence. Even if Justin and I did get engaged, it can’t change anything.”

“Phoebe, you’re wrong. The Conrad family’s power is deeply rooted in City N. Even without Clarence, the Conrad family shouldn’t be underestimated too, not to mention that Joanna isn’t as simple as it seems. Justin is gentle and polite. You won’t suffer when being with him together.”

“But I…”

“Phoebe, as long as you marry Justin and give birth to a child within a year, I promise you that the whole Conrad family and Steward family will be the child’s.”

Clarence’s existence was too dangerous both for the Conrad family and for Charles. This was why he had agreed with Dempsey.

On the other hand, the Conrad family was now trying to wrest power away from Clarence at all cost.

Phoebe frowned, “But what if there isn’t?”

Charles looked at her, “Phoebe, nothing is impossible in this world.”

“But I don’t want to marry Justin. You know how he is. Wasn’t this the reason you didn’t let me marry him back then?”
