Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 424

Stella thought that the Steward Group was not largely affected compared to the past. But after listening to Clarence, she realized that the Steward Group was not as transparent as she had expected.

It seemed that the current Steward Group was an empty shell company and had a fake appearance.

Thinking about it, she said, “But isn’t the Steward Group collaborating with William? This is a big project. Can Charles leave as he pleases?

Clarence replied, “To Charles, this is not just a simple project, but his last cover-up.”

Stella asked, “What does that mean?”

“As long as this project is running normally, nobody will suspect that the Steward Group won’t last for much longer. Charles can also take the opportunity of collaborating with William to transfer his money abroad rightfully. When his plan is completed, he can leave straight away. As for how the project ends up, he doesn’t even care.”

Stella furrowed her brows, “Does that mean he is going to leave the mess to William?”

“That is pretty much it.”

“Then…”

Reading her thoughts, Clarence said calmly, “You can rest assured. William has his own plans.”

After listening to Clarence, Stella pursed her lips and gently nodded her head.

As she was lost in thought, she didn’t even notice that the man’s hand had lifted her shirt and was exploring what was under her shirt.

“By the way, I have always felt…”

After she had said half of her sentence, Stella finally noticed Clarence’s movements. She lowered her head to look at it, met his gaze at once and glared at him.

Clarence lowered his head and bit her neck. He said in a low-pitched and husky voice, ‘Is there something else?”

Before Stella could open her mouth to speak, Clarence pressed his lips against hers.

After a long kiss, Clarence placed a kiss at the center of her forehead between her brows, “If you want to talk about something, we will do it tomorrow. I won’t run away. Ok?”

Stella didn’t reply to his words.

Clarence acted like an uncivilized person for the whole night.

In the end, Stella was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Clarence leaned down to kiss the center of her forehead between her brows. He then covered her with a blanket and went out of the bedroom.

Standing in the living room, Clarence dialed Maxwell’s number, “Recently, Stella will stay here. Tell them not to go out and wait for a few days.”

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Clarence looked at the night view through the window. He remained silent for a while and then dialed Vincent’s number, “How is it going?”

Vincent replied, “Still making a fuss. I guess that tonight will not be a peaceful night. But William is very capable. He actually knew about this and acted appropriately to the situation. He used extreme measures. I suppose that Aurora does not have the spirit to plot against someone anymore.”

Clarence said slowly in a steady pace, “After that air crash, Charles and Lyndon were able to snatch the Steward Group back from a group of people who were having their eye on it and resolved the crisis of being near bankruptcy. Based on these achievements, their capabilities are evident.”

“Indeed. If it wasn’t for that conspiracy twenty years ago, the Steward Group would never be in this today’s situation.”

“The reason why someone had successfully schemed against him was because he never thought that the people closest to him would one day betray him and leave his family in ruins.”

Vincent knew the person Clarence had mentioned without a second thought.

After a while, Vincent then said, “Although Charles is not in the country, he would certainly notice that this thing is deliberately done after he has returned to the country.”

“He can hardly protect himself now. He no longer has the effort to care about the Barton family. Even if he finds out that something is wrong, it is already too late.”

Vincent said, “They have been preparing for the plan for a long time. They are finally going into action.”

Clarence then added, “Is there still no news about Jeffrey?”
