Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 374

In Starry Lake Mansion…

Clarence naturally did not let Channing sleep on the floor. He asked Alisa to tidy up the vacant room downstairs for Channing instead.

Channing sat on the sofa. His clothes had dried blood stains.

After Clarence had gone downstairs, he threw the clothes in his hand into Channing’s arms, “Change your clothes.”

Channing acknowledged his orders and sat there motionless. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Clarence took a seat opposite him and crossed his long legs, “Are you reflecting on your mistakes, or are you contemplating how you can make Stella’s situation more difficult?”

After listening to Clarence, Channing couldn’t help but frown. He spoke after a long time, “I am not thinking about that.”

“But you have certainly done it.”

Channing pursed his lips and did not talk anymore.

Seeing that Channing was unwilling to answer him, Clarence then said, “I understand your intentions of killing Jeffrey to avenge your sister’s suffering. You thought that if you have succeeded in killing him today, you would have killed one of the dregs of society and your actions would have contributed to the elimination of evil people in the society. People would rejoice over his death. However, the law would not condone your actions.”

“If you have really killed him, besides being convicted of patricide, you would have done exactly what they wanted you to do. Stella would be in the centre of controversy. Everything that happened in the past would be under the spotlight. Malicious speculations and endless criticism would be the only things that await her. There would be nothing else.”

Channing frowned even deeply, “I thought that if Jeffrey is dead, everything would come to an end.”

“That is only your judgement.” Clarence said slowly, “Things are not as simple as that. Everything that happened today had been planned by Charles. He took advantage of you. Regarding his actual objective…”

In the midst of the conversation, Clarence squinted.

If his assumption wasn’t wrong, it was very likely that Jeffrey had currently fallen into Charles’s hands.

It turned out that the sly, old man was indeed capable. He was actually able to find Jeffrey.

Channing said, “But isn’t Charles…”

Clarence recollected himself and interrupted Channing, “He isn’t.”

A trace of surprise and bewilderment appeared on Channing’s face.

“Your sister refuses to tell you about this because she doesn’t want you to be worried. Unexpectedly, Charles took advantage of this.” Clarence continued to speak, “Your sister is right. You are only required to remember one thing. In this world, you are her one…”

Clarence paused for a while and said, “Of three family members.”

Channing acknowledged his words questioningly.

Clarence got up and took a glance at Channing. He said distastefully, “Go and take a bath.”

In a short while, Alisa finished tidying up the room, exited the room and handed Channing some daily necessities.

Channing said softly, “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. You are Ms. Radomil’s younger brother. This is my job.”

Channing nodded at her in greeting. Then, he entered the room.

After taking a bath, he went out of the bathroom, sat up in bed and looked at his unfamiliar surroundings in the room. He covered his eyes with his arm and remained silent for a long time.

He removed the arm on his face after some time. He held up his phone and phoned Stella.

After a few rings, Stella answered his call.

Channing said, “I’m sorry.”

Stella kept quiet for two seconds and replied, “Chan, you have nothing to apologize for. I should have told you everything in advance.”

“I have already known everything.”

Stella paused for a while, “Clarence told you?”

Channing acknowledged her words with a soft voice.

Stella let out an inaudible sigh, “Chan, this matter is very complicated. I don’t want you to get involved in this matter. However, I should have realized that it would be only a matter of time before Charles would make use of you in his schemes.”

Channing didn’t say anything.

Stella added, “How did you know Jeffrey was there?”

“He told me that.”

Stella’s mind went blank and then she realized that the person Chan mentioned was Charles.
