Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 439

As soon as Stella went back to the studio, Sherry trotted over, pulling her into the lounge, “How did it go? What did the police say? Is there any result?”

Stella shook her head, “Not yet. They just asked me what happened.”

Sherry clicked her tongue, “It seems Arthur Barnett has offended a lot of people. It should be quite difficult to find out the murderer in a short time.”

Stella happened to be a bit thirsty. She turned around and picked up a glass to get some water. She said slowly, “I also met Modesty Parker in the police station.”

“Modesty Parker? Why was she there?”

“Same as me, doing the record.” Stella took a few sips of the water and continued, “But, I always feel...”

Sherry asked, “What do you feel?”

Stella returned to her senses, shaking her head, “Nothing. We’d better wait for the investigation result disclosed by the police.”

Sherry said, “Oh, by the way, Doreen and I want to hang out in the bar we went to last time. Why don’t you join us? Let’s relax. I also invited Daniel. Would you like to invite that wretched man?”

“Better not. He’s angry with me recently.”

Since last night till now, the wretched didn’t send her a message or called her. In the morning, she sent him a message to greet him, but he didn’t answer her at all.

Sherry said directly, “All right. Just ignore him, then. We’ll enjoy ourselves more without him.”

Stella exhaled, “Forget it. You guys have fun. I need to deal with the design drafts. I’m still behind the schedule.”

Upon hearing it, Sherry didn’t insist, “Okay. Don’t work too late. Go home early.”

Stella said with a smile, “Okay, I will.”

For the whole afternoon, Stella stayed in the office and finished several drafts.

After finishing the last one today, she stretched. It was already dark outside. She checked the time - it was eleven o’clock in the evening.

Stella didn’t expect that it turned out to be so late.

She picked up her cell phone and checked. The wretched man still hadn’t replied to her message.

What a petty man!

Stella packed her belongings. While walking out of the office, she called Nathan.

After the call was connected, Nathan asked, “Hi, Ms. Radomil. What’s wrong?”

Stella asked, “Is Clarence still in the company?”

“Yes, he is. Mr. Conrad is still in a meeting. He has been quite busy recently. He has been in meetings for a whole day.”

Stella asked again, “Where did he stay in the past few days, Starry Lake Mansion or his apartment downtown?”

Nathan probably had no idea why she was asking about it. He recalled that Stella didn’t like Starry Lake Mansion, so he tentatively answered, “I guess it’s his apartment downtown.”

“I got it. Thanks. Please go back to your work.”

After hanging up the phone, Stella locked the door of her studio, driving towards Clarence’s apartment downtown.

After ten minutes, Clarence came out of the conference room.

Nathan followed him immediately, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad. Mrs. Conrad called just now.”

Clarence asked indifferently, “What did she say?”

“She asked... if you are still in the company.” As a qualified and outstanding assistant, Nathan also repeated his answer, “I told her you are still in a meeting and you’ve been in meetings for a whole day.”

Clarence recalled that Stella had sent him a greeting this morning, which he hadn’t replied to yet.

He pulled out his cell phone and looked over at Nathan, “Is that all?”

“Yes...” Suddenly, Nathan recalled something, “Mrs. Conrad also asked if you went back to Starry Lake Mansion or your apartment downtown.”

Upon hearing it, Clarence slightly frowned, “What did you tell her?”

“I said the apartment downtown.”

Pressing his thin lips, Clarence paused his pace. Suddenly, he turned around and walked into the elevator.

On the way, he called Stella several times, but she didn’t answer.

He ordered the driver in a cold tone, “Speed up.”
