Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 40

Clarence did not want the child. Seeing that he would lose the bargaining chip to control him, the good thing was that the Jason family which was a lump of big and fat meat was in front of him.

How would he willingly give up this opportunity that was presented to him.

“Uncle!”

Joanna held her hand and comforted, “Annie, don’t be anxious. Things will always have a solution.”

Dempsey also knew Clarence’s personality. The most important thing right now was to bring about the marriage between the Conrad family and the Jason family. So, he could only use a consultative tone when talking to him, “Clarence, Annie is your younger sister no matter what. If you do this, you’re putting her and the Jason family in a bad and awkward situation.”

Clarence said indifferently, “Don’t you know very well that I don’t have a sister.”

Dempsey was livid, “What kind of bullshit are you talking about!”

Joanna spoke at the right time, “Clarence, we don’t owe you anything. You’re the heir of the Conrad Group and what should be given to you has already been given to you. Now, I just want Annie to marry into the Jason family with dignity. This is my only request but you still want to reject it?”

Clarence’s expression remained unchanged. He spoke slowly, “Horace doesn’t like her. How will she have dignity.”

“Feelings are something that can be cultivated slowly. When your father asked you to marry Stella that time, didn’t you also refuse.”

Clarence’s expression became colder. He did not say a word.

He really did not know what did Stella like about Horace. He was with her while talking about marriage with another woman. Did she really like to be abused?

Just when the two parties were at loggerheads and no one was willing to give in, a warm, smiling male voice sounded at the doorway, “I’ve apparently come late, are things finished?”

With the grievance, Annie complained, “Clarence doesn’t agree with my marriage.”

Justin was sitting in a wheelchair while Phoebe was behind him while pushing the wheelchair.

Hearing this, Justin was a bit surprised. He then smiled as if he understood, “Annie, Clarence naturally has his reasons for not agreeing. Don’t be at outs with him here. He had already used much energy to deal with the company matters.”

“But I…”

“Annie, a matter like marriage is only possible if both parties are willing.”

Joanna seemingly wanted to speak but after moving her lips slightly, she still did not speak.

Dempsey was a little upset due to his words, “Justin, you’re already not young. I’ve never forced you before but it’s time for you to think about your marriage.”

Justin’s smile was still warm. He slowly said, “I’m just a cripple with no achievement, who will want to marry me.”

Dempsey’s face froze for a moment and he did not say anything.

Joanna suddenly stood up and was a little agitated, “None of this is your fault. You can only blame the person who has taken everything away from you!”

“Enough!” Dempsey’s face looked very bad, “Aren’t we discussing Annie’s marriage, why do you say that.”

Joana sneered, turned around and went upstairs.

Dempsey also went to the study.

Annie stomped her feet. Being jumpy and jittery, she ran out.

Everyone parted in discord.

With a slight sneer under his eyes, Clarence’s expression was cold and indifferent.

When he got up and prepared to leave, Justin called him, “Clarence, talk to me.”
