Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 392

When Stella walked out of the washroom after taking a shower and dried her hair, she noticed that her phone that was thrown on the bed was vibrating. She immediately got onto the bed and as expected, it was a call from Clarence.

When she answered the call, the man’s low voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “You haven’t gone to bed?”

Stella replied, “Not yet.”

She paused and then asked, “I can’t fall asleep.

It was true. Many things happened tonight and she couldn’t fall asleep.

Clarence said, “You miss me so much so you’re sleepless?”

Stella, “…”

He was so frivolous!

Stella asked, “How’s the situation at your side?”

Clarence replied in a flat tone, “I just finished the meeting of directors. Rest assured. They can’t do anything to me.”

“But this matter is so serious now. The Conrad family…”

“They were the one who planned this and they were quite complacent of it. It was also them who blew up this affair.”

Stella was stunned when she heard the words, “The Conrad family planned this? But shouldn’t it be Modesty who recorded it?”

Clarence wasn’t surprised when hearing this and said, “I have to compliment that she’s somehow smart and knows to find a scapegoat.”

“Do you mean that it was Modesty who made a voice recording, but she was afraid that she might offend you? Therefore, she turned to the Conrad family.”

The outsiders all knew that Dempsey and Clarence were the father and son on the surface, but they were indeed enemies who tried best to plot against each other. Especially Dempsey, he tried to plot against Clarence for several times and they were all in vain. Now he was trying all possible means to get something on Clarence.

Modesty was smart. She was so bold that she even schemed against Dempsey.

Stella continued after a short while of silence, “Now that we know who the one behind all these is, what should we do to cope with it?”

“Don’t be so hurried.” Clarence said slowly, “Wait for two more days.”

“Okay.

If she guessed it right, Clarence wanted to carry out his plan by making use of this affair.

Clarence asked, “Did Charles come to find you?”

“Nope.”

“Just wait. He will come to find you tomorrow morning at latest.”

Stella nodded her head. She also thought that this affair would be more serious tomorrow night after tonight’s fermentation.

If Charles wanted to end this matter before it became more serious and minimize its negative effect, he could at most wait until tomorrow morning.

Stella asked, “Are you still in the company?”

Clarence replied with a nasal sound, “Many affairs are delayed today and I haven’t handled them.”

“Oh, they will you have to work overnight?”

“Will you come here to accompany me?”

Stella replied, “Oh, I suddenly become sleepy. Bye.”

Stella lay face down on the bed for a while after ending the call and then walked into the washroom to dry her hair.

She took a glance at the clock and found it was already one o’clock in the morning. It was unrealistic for her to go out now.

When hearing the frivolous male voice from the other end of the phone, Modesty knitted her brows, “How comes it’s you?”

Arthur said, “Why can’t it be me? I asked you to come to my room in the hotel. Why don’t you come?”

Modesty retorted, “Are you insane? I’ve given you that I should give you. Why should I come there?”

Arthur laughed, “Don’t regard me as an outsider. You’ve give me that you should give me? But I haven’t gotten the thing that I really want. I will give you the last chance. Come to the hotel right now. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I disclose your scandals later.”

Modesty tightened her clench on the phone. Suppressing her anger, she asked, “Do I have any scandal?”

“Oh, our cooperation was just finished, yet you forget it so soon.” Arthur said slowly, “It doesn’t matter even though you forget it. I don’t mind reminding you.”

“No need.” Modesty took a deep breath, “You said it was just cooperation. Shouldn’t you shut up after getting the money?”

“Yes, you’re right. I should shut up after getting the money. But it’s just the reward for helping you in the competition. But I didn’t get any reward from the affair of bribing the two judges to help you get the champion.”

Modesty retorted in a cold voice, “It was not me who bribed the judges. It was Aurora…”

Arthur said, “She bribed the judges for the sake of you, right? And you’re the one who won the championship. It was not me, nor Ms. Barton, right?”

“Are you using this to threaten me?”

“How can it be a threat? I’ve told you that we’re the same kind of people and I just want to have more profound communication with you.” Arthur added, “I’ve sent you the address of the hotel and my room number. If you don’t show up in an hour…”

Arthur said as if he was talking to himself, “They’re enthusiastically discussing this competition on the Internet. I believe that many media is willing to buy this exclusive news at a high price. Looks like I will get a large sum of money again.”

Gritting her teeth, Modesty pressed the screen with great force and ended the call.

She stood in the room for several minutes and then called Adolph, yet still failed to connect the call.

Clenching her fists tightly, Modesty took a glance at the fruit knife on the table and put it into her bag. She changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
