Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 385

Sherry sat on the couch to consider Daniel’s suggestion for quite some time. She looked down the ground and sat still.

Daniel was standing in front of her. He thought Sherry fell asleep at some point.

Daniel said carefully, “Maybe…you can try putting that bat down. It’s quite scary.”

Sherry held onto the bat even tighter after hearing Daniel’s suggestion.

Daniel cleared his throat and took a step back.

After a while, Sherry asked, “The enemy you were saying. Are you talking about Charles?”

Daniel nodded.

Sherry questioned, “Phoebe and you…”

Daniel explained, “It was just a show. I have my reason to get close to her. She knew it, and she was using me as well.”

Sherry asked after a while, “A show… Just like what we’re doing?”

“It’s not the same thing,” Daniel said, “We are doing this for justice. It’s different.”

Sherry replied, “I see.”

After a few minutes, Daniel asked, “So, what do you think about my suggestion?”

Sherry wanted to confirm with Daniel, “Are you sure that they won’t harm Stella if I agreed to put on an act with you?”

“At least they couldn’t find a reason from me to threaten her. I’ll think of something if they try to find a reason from other aspects.”

Sherry frowned, “Who…are you? No, I meant, why did you come here?”

Daniel smiled, “I’ll tell you after our ‘act’.”

…

When Stella got back to the Steward manor, she felt like the manor was covering in a depressing aura. All the maids avoided her, just like how they treated her when she first arrived in the manor.

When Stella walked into the living room, a maid came over, “Ms. Radomil, Mr. Steward asked for you in his study room.”

The maid quickly left Stella after she finished her sentence. She didn’t even wait for Stella to answer.

Stella stood still for a few seconds, then headed to Charles’ study room.

Stella knocked on the door and asked, “Mr. Steward, is there anything I can help you with?”

Charles raised his head from the pile of documents in front of him, “Sit.”

Stella pouted and sat in front of Charles.

Charles pushed a document to Stella. Stella took a glance and saw it was a Bill of Indictment accusing Phoebe.

Stella smiled, “This is?”

Charles didn’t answer her question, but instead, he said, “I knew you had conflicts with Phoebe because of Clarence, but no matter what, it’s an internal matter between the Steward family. You shouldn’t make it a big deal.”

Stella said, “I don’t understand what you’re saying, Mr. Steward. I wasn’t the one who got accused in that Bill of Indictment. What does it have to do with me?”

“You are the reason why these started. You are going to clarify that the accusations in the Bill of Indictment are false. That should make the bill of indictment a useless piece of paper.”

Stella now knew what Charles wanted. In fact, it was easy for Charles to handle a person like Bernice. However, Stella was involved in the case.

Stella smiled, “It’s fine if you don’t agree with my conditions. I’m only telling you what I wanted. I’ve done my calculation. All these lands were only one-third of the Steward Group’s assets. I think I deserve those.”

“Don’t talk big. You won’t know how to use the lands if I give it to you. You are going to ruin the Steward Group in the long run.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Steward. I know I didn’t know anything about running a business. All I wanted was a few pieces of land. I won’t involve myself in any of the projects. All I care about was the money.”

Charles was dead silent after hearing what Stella said.

What Stella offered was to cash out the share. If all she wanted was the share, Charles knew how to keep Stella at bay, but the lands she wanted was something so solid that once she got them, they’ll be under her name. If anything happened to the Steward Group and they needed to cash out the land or do anything about the projects on the land, they’ll need Stella’s permission and signature to proceed.

How could Charles agree to such a condition?

Stella wasn’t in a hurry either. She slowly said, “Well, I’ll leave you here to consider my suggestion. Don’t rush. Take your time.”

The person who was in a hurry was the person who got accused.

Stella stood up and left the study room once she finished what she had to say.

Charles looked even sulkier when he looked at the Equity Transfer Agreement in front of him.

When Stella was about to go into her room, Phoebe’s voice rose behind her.

Stella turned around, “What’s the matter, Ms. Steward?”

Phoebe said coldly, “You’re the one who did this, aren’t you?”

Stella smiled after hearing what Phoebe said, “If it helps to make you feel better, I’m fine with it. But…”

“What?”
