Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 370

Stella broke into several car game houses and underground gambling houses consecutively, yet she still failed to find Channing. Instead, the gamblers were annoyed. Seeing that Stella was here alone, they talked to her frivolously.

“Yo, beauty, why are you here? Do you want to play with us?

“Don’t be restrained if you want to play. Looks like you want to compare several gambling houses before chose a place to play.”

“Beauty, the gambling house is different from man. It has its own rules. As for man, you can choose the one you like. You will like it.”

They exchanged a glance and their smiles were ambiguous and obscene.

Right at this moment, a person walked over boldly, “How about let me have a try first? You will be satisfied with me, haha…”

Before he could finish his words, someone grabbed his hair and hit him onto the wall with great force.

The man cursed an abusive sentence. He turned around and prepared to fight against the person, but when he saw his face, he took a step backwards, “A…Adolph… How comes you’re here?”

Adolph looked at them expressionlessly, “Do I have to inform you guys first before coming here?”

Those men immediately changed their expressions and smiled at Adolph apologetically, “Oh, how can it be possible. It’s just that we’re caring about you. We haven’t seen you for a long time. What are you busy with recently?”

Adolph ignored them and asked, “Did a boy aged around nineteen years old come here today?”

“No. Definitely no. Only this beauty is a newcomer to this place today.”

The other men chimed in, “Yes. Adolph, you also know that only some obsessive gambler would come to this place and we’re quite familiar with them. How will we have no impression if a stranger comes here?”

Adolph turned around and said to Stella, “He probably hasn’t come here.”

Knitting her brows, Stella glanced over the men in front of her and said after a while, “Let’s go.”

When Stella turned around, Adolph said to those men, “Tell me right away if you see that boy.”

After finishing the words, he kicked the man that talked frivolously to Stella just now, “Mind your own business. Don’t think of those dirty and evil things every day.”

“Okay, Adolph, you’re right. I won’t make such a mistake again.”

Adolph shifted his gaze, turned around and left.

Right at this moment, a man who had been silent ran to Adolph and said, “Wait, Adolph, I suddenly recalled that I saw Channing today. Are you looking for him?”

Both Stella and Adolph turned around when they heard the words.

Adolph asked, “Where did you see him?”

“At the cross in the front. He was alone. I thought he was familiar, but I won’t recall it if it wasn’t…”

Adolph’s expression became serious. He suddenly grabbed the man’s collar, “Did Jeffrey come here recently?”

The man’s expression became stiff. He then laughed awkwardly, “No. How can it be possible? Didn’t you instruct us to contact you once Jeffrey shows up here? He never comes.”

“I don’t have the patience to repeat my question.”

Seeing this, the man’s legs shivered. But he still gritted his teeth, “What I said was true. I won’t dare to lie to you.”

Right at this moment, the man that was slammed onto the wall by Adolph stood up, his head bleeding. He said, “You’d better tell him honestly. Jeffrey is not a good thing. What benefit will you get by working for him?”

“I didn’t…”

Stella said in a flat tone, “How much reward does he give you? I can double it.”

Adolph said, “Wait for me here. I will come in to have a look.”

Stella gently nodded her head.

As Adolph walked towards the building, Stella also slowly looked towards it.

She saw the reinforced concretes, wood planks and building materials left after the construction and the puddles on the ground.

It was not a place for people to live in from every aspect.

Even though Jeffrey was hiding himself from place to place now, since he would give that gambler a large sum of reward before, he wouldn’t aggrieve himself to live in such a place.

Right at this moment, except for the sound of the wind, Stella suddenly heard the sound of fighting from the top floor afar.

She quickly looked up and Channing’s figure flashed.

Stella’s eyelashes shivered. She moved her lips in an attempt to call him. However, fearing that this would stimulate Channing, she pushed aside the weeds in front of her and ran towards the building.

However, when she arrived at the downstairs of the building, a huge wood plaque fell down on the place beside her feet.

Stella instantly felt her hair standing up and her back broke out into cold sweats. She stopped. When she looked up again, she vaguely saw a man’s upper body hanging in the air and he was waving his hands. It seemed like he was struggling for his own life out of the instinct.

If she guessed it right, the man was Jeffrey.

But the building was so tall and Stella couldn’t hear their conversation at all. She could only pray that Adolph would arrive there in time and stop them.

She slowly clenched her hands into fists, took a deep breath and then walked into the building.
