Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 290

There was a slight change in the man’s expression when he heard the question. He picked up the pen, trying to write down something on the paper, yet still didn’t write anything.

When Stella prepared to give up and leave, a cold voice sounded from behind, “Why are you here?”

Stella turned around and found that it was Adolph. There was a scar on his face, which seemed to be resulted from the car accident. The scar started from his left cheek and ended at his chin.

He looked more ferocious than in the past.

Stella said, “Let’s have a talk at the other place.”

When they walked out of the alley, they bumped into five children who were running towards them and one of them accidently knocked onto Stella.

The little boy wiggled his fingers. When seeing the ball of dusts on Stella’s cloth, he became so nervous, “I’m… I’m sorry…”

Stella chuckled and gently rubbed his head, “It doesn’t matter. Enjoy your time.”

The boy looked towards her timidly and then looked towards Adolph.

When seeing Adolph nodding his head at him, he smiled again and ran away.

Adolph shifted his gaze and said, “This play is messy and disorderly. Yet you come alone. Aren’t you afraid?”

Stella replied in a clam voice, “It’s less horrible than human beings.”

Adolph was silent.

They walked out of the alley and came to a lawn. Adolph asked, “Why do you come to find me?”

No matter it be the debts of Jeffrey or the matter related to Modesty, they all had been a past long time ago. So Stella wouldn’t pay a special to him simply because of the above-mentioned matters.

Stella looked towards him, “I want to know about Jeffrey’s whereabouts. And I guess you can find him.”

“Jeffrey?” Adolph knitted his brows, “Didn’t he die in the prison?”

Stella chuckled, “Yeah, maybe he wasn’t dead as a doornail and he comes back again.”

Adolph could roughly guess what Jeffrey would do after coming back.

To be Jeffrey’s daughter was so disgusting.

Adolph asked, “Why do you think that I will help you.”

“You’re not helping me, you’re helping yourself.” Stella fixed her eyes on the rustling leaves and continued after a long while of silence, “Jeffrey threatened me with the pictures taken when I was sold to the Twilight Club three years ago. Do you think that you’ll be able to evade the responsibility if I report it to the police?”

Adolph frowned. He didn’t reply.

Stella continued, “I feel thankful that you sent me to the hospital before, so I will not probe into this matter as long as you can help me find out Jeffrey. In addition, you will get the corresponding reward. You effort will not be in vain.”

Although Stella had gone to the police to cancel the suitcase against Adolph before and the police had stopped chasing him, the Conrad family didn’t plan to let go of him. Therefore, he didn’t dare to appear in the public and could only hide himself in such a place.

Apparently, Stella didn’t give a shit to her relationship with Jeffrey now. Once she called the police and once the police began to investigate the past, the situation will be worse.

Adolph said after a long while of silence, “I can help you find out Jeffrey. But I want a reward of one million.”

“Deal.”

The studio had been making profits during the past several months, so she could afford the reward.

Adolph continued, “I will find him in one week. Then I will contact you.”

Stella gently nodded her head, “Thank you.”

Adolph was stunned when he heard the two words. He hadn’t expected that Stella would say ‘thank you’ to him.

As Stella had achieved her goal, it was unnecessary for her to stay here. She slightly nodded at Adolph and then left.

Adolph fixed his eyes on her back, seeming to be thinking of something.

…

When Stella came back to the studio, it was already the noon.

She wanted to ask Sherry whether she had lunch or not, but Sherry tipped her a wink and looked towards the office.

Stella was confused and then quickly understood it at the next moment.
