Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 373

When Stella returned to the Steward family, Phoebe was reading a magazine in the living room.

Stella asked the maid directly, “Where is Mr. Steward?”

The maid looked at her, then looked at Phoebe. She stammered for half a day, refusing to speak.

Phoebe did not raise her head and was casually flipping through the magazine in front of her. She said indifferently, “Why do you want to look for my father?”

Stella was furious at the moment and talked to her in a bad tone, “This is between him and me. Is there anything to do with you?”

After hearing those words, Stella was stunned for a moment and frowned. She raised her eyes to look at her and snorted, “It’s true to say that you are rude.”

“Ms. Steward can go and do some skin treatment when you are free. I’m not in the mood to talk pedantically with you. Does Ms. Steward think that it’s okay for me to send out the video in the club?”

As expected, Phoebe’s face instantly turned pale.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly said, “Master Steward is in the study room.”

Stella did not say any more nonsense to her. She directly withdrew her gaze and walked towards the study room.

Phoebe got up, looked at her back, and threw the magazine heavily into the dustbin.

In the study room, Charles was flipping through the contract when the door was suddenly opened.

He looked over and said lightly, “Due to courtesy, shouldn’t you knock on the door first?”

Stella laughed and said coldly, “Mr. Steward went to look for my brother and didn’t tell me beforehand, respect is a mutual thing.”

Hearing her words, Charles was not surprised. He closed the contract, “I went to look for him for your good sake.”

“I don’t see what’s so good about it.”

Charles leaned back in his seat, clasped his hands together, and said indifferently, “You said you were Miranda’s daughter, I’ll believe you for now. Looking at Miranda’s relics, I won’t do any investigation. But if everything you say is true, your brother is the one who has brought the Steward family into disrepute, I am just reminding him of this fact so that he will have the self-awareness to stay away from you. If this is not for your good sake, what is it for?”

Even though Stella knew that Charles would not say anything good when he went to look for Chan, she merely thought that he would make use of Jeffrey to hurt Chan. She never expected that he would actually say these words!

Stella pursed her lips tightly, “He is my brother, this is a fact that no one can change.”

Charles said, “In this world, there are always trade-offs. Since you choose to enjoy glory and wealth, I will give you everything that belongs to you. However, you have to make the payoff, that’s to stay away from those people that will hold you back. It doesn’t matter if you don’t care. Now that you’re in the Steward family, everything that you do represents everything that the Steward family does, so it’s important to think thoroughly before you do it.”

Stella snorted, “I don’t know that I’m so powerful.”

“That’s the truth, you shall be well aware of that from the moment you step through the doors of the Steward family. There are countless pairs of eyes that are watching you.”

“Since Mr. Steward cares so much about the Steward family’s face, instead of wasting time on me, why don’t you discipline Ms. Steward?”

“I have my plans for Phoebe.” Charles added, “Phoebe grows up in a different environment from you, she has her own sense of propriety and will never do a thing that will make other people take advantage of her. In comparison, I don’t need to worry too much.”

Stella calmed down, “From what Mr. Steward said, you think that there is nothing that Ms. Steward has done that cannot be exposed to the public, right?”

Hearing those words, Charles narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Stella continued, “Mr. Steward should know very well that what I want is very simple, but if someone I care about gets hurt, I’ll fight desperately. I have nothing to lose anyway, so I have nothing to be afraid of.”

After saying that, Stella did not stay any longer but turned around to leave.

Behind her, Charles’ face gradually turned cold.

When she came back to her room, Stella counter locked the door, put down her things and lay on the bed.

It was clear that she did not do anything, but she felt exhausted.

Not long after, the mobile phone in her pocket rang.
