Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 326

After Charles had ended his sentence, Stella came downstairs.

She smiled and greeted Cameron, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Thomas.”

Cameron gestured Stella to come forward, “Come here and sit, Stella.”

Stella walked towards him and sat beside him.

Cameron held his walking stick with both hands and spoke with a smiling face, “When did you arrive? I offered to give you a ride before but I was worried that I might delay your matters.”

“I arrived not long ago.”

“Then, there is no big difference,” Cameron said. He looked at Stella’s clothes and was confused, “Where did you get so much dust on your clothes?”

After Charles heard Cameron’s question, he froze as he reached for the tea cup.

Stella said, “It was nothing serious. Ms. Steward played a joke with me just now. But I do not have the time to change my clothes now.”

Cameron frowned deeply and looked at Charles, “What kind of joke?”

Charles stifled a laugh and said, “Phoebe has acted foolishly. I have already talked sense into her.”

Seeing that Charles was unwilling to speak the truth, Cameron directed his gaze towards the servant behind Charles and yelled, “Tell me!”

“It’s… It’s…”

The servant stammered and did not dare to say anything.

Cameron hammered the floor strongly with his walking stick and said angrily, “What did I tell you just now? You acted so sincere when you agreed with me. In the end, you were just patronising me!”

“It was a misunderstanding. I promise you that this will never happen again.”

Cameron’s mood darkened. He thought about the servant’s words about tidying up some items, the dust lingering in the mansion and Stella’s dusty clothes. He was able to piece together what happened.

He said, “You better keep your promise. Or I will see how will you face Miranda when you die!”

At that moment, a servant came in again and whispered something to Charles.

He nodded, “Invite him in.”

Cameron asked, “Who came to the mansion?”

Charles said, “My business partner. Since you have good judgement of character, you can help me to take a look at him.”

“With my old age and blurry vision, what can see in him?”

In that situation, Stella thought that her presence was unneeded. She decided to take a bath, change her clothes and go to her office.

Just when she wanted to get up, Cameron held her back softly and motioned her to remain seated.

Charles did not notice Cameron’s slight movement.

Stella understood him and sat there properly without any intention of leaving.

After a while, the guest came into sight.

The guest was William.

William stood in the living room. After exchanging greetings with Charles, he looked at Cameron and Stella. He greeted them politely, “Mr. Thomas and Ms. Radomil, it is my pleasure to meet the both of you.”

With a calm look on his face, Charles said steadily, “I see that we all know each other.”

William smiled faintly, “I have met Mr. Thomas once overseas. After returning to City N, I had the honour to visit Mr. Thomas’s house. With regard to Ms. Radomil, I had a collaboration with Mr. Conrad in the past and met her several times coincidentally.”

Charles seemed to have disliked the mention of Clarence. He invited William to take a seat and ordered the servants to prepare a cup of tea for William.
