Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 425

Modesty looked pale. Moving her lips, she explained, “No…it's not like that, I don’t have the intention of doing that… I just want…”

“What do you want?” Dempsey narrowed his eyes, “As I see it, you are afraid to offend Clarence, so you want me to take this responsibility for you!”

As he roared at Modesty, she felt that she seemed to stop breathing. She trembled uncontrollably and did not know what to say next.

At that moment, Justin appeared behind her and said slowly, “Don’t be afraid. If you want to say something, stand up first.”

Modesty’s mind went blank for a moment. When she turned her head, her pupils noticeably dilated and constricted. But she still didn’t dare to move.

Justin gave a chuckle, leaned down and extended his hand to Modesty.

Modesty’s gaze fell on his palm. After hesitating for a long time, she tentatively held his hand and slowly stood up.

At the same time, Dempsey said in an unsatisfied tone, “Justin, don't always waste your kindness on places that don’t deserve it.”

Justin replied, “There may be some misunderstanding in this matter. The last time we checked the identity of the person who ordered the reporter to infiltrate the Conrad family, wasn't the person a man?”

“I guess that he is her accomplice!”

Justin looked at Modesty, “There's still time, so tell us what is going on. Don't worry. If you didn’t do it, we will definitely not make your life difficult.”

Modesty stood beside him and bit her lower lip strongly. After a long time, she said, “I didn't do it…I don't know what is going on either, really...”

Dempsey hammered the floor strongly with his walking stick and scolded loudly, “There is concrete evidence. You are still denying responsibility!”

Modesty was frightened and hid behind Justin instinctively. She said hurriedly, “This really has nothing to do with me, but I know the man who approached the reporter last…last time. He has been…has been…”

“What has he been doing?”

“He has been helping Stella to do things.” After making up her mind to continue lying, Modesty was more composed instead, “Moreover, he was also the one who took Stella away from the Conrad family at the beginning. I don't know how he has become my accomplice. It is most likely that I have offended Stella at the designers’ contest this time, and she has deliberately said this in order to get back at me…”

After hearing her words, Dempsey narrowed his eyes and did not speak for a moment.

On the day that Stella left the Conrad family, there was indeed a man in the car.

After further investigation, the man was not one of Clarence’s men.

If what she said was true, then the incident in which the reporter infiltrated the Conrad family was planned by Stella!

He didn’t expect that women to have such clever tricks that could even fool him!

After thinking about it for some time, Dempsey asked, “How do you explain the incident involving the recording pen?”

Compared to his previous voice, his current voice was much softer.

Modesty gritted her teeth. Since she had already started this, she would continue to do it, “It was…Ms. Steward who instructed me to do so.”

Dempsey frowned, “Ms. Steward? Which Ms. Steward?”

“The young lady of the Steward Group, Phoebe Steward.”

“How did you know her?”

Modesty clenched her fist and spoke, “Just like Stella, I was a designer in SG Jewelry Magazine. At that time when Ms. Steward was not yet engaged to Mr. Conrad, she already knew that Stella was Mr. Conrad’s ex-wife, so she deliberately got close to Stella. She often used me to deal with Stella.”

Dempsey said, “The bribery of judges in the designers’ contest was ordered by Phoebe?”

“No. That was done by Aurora Barton.”

“Aurora Barton? How did she get involved again?”

Modesty breathed in, “Aurora was holding a grudge because Mr. Conrad had rejected her, so she wanted to deal with Stella. She asked me to bribe the judges for her. But she casted me aside after she had achieved her goal. After I had done as I was told, she didn't care about my situation. As a result, I took the recording pen to Ms. Steward. She instructed me to say that the only person who is not afraid to offend Mr. Conrad is Master Conrad, so she told me to come to you.”
