Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 469

While Adolph was smashing the wardrobe, everyone looked inside nervously.

The space behind the wardrobe was very small. After Adolph walked in, there was not much space left.

Stella stepped forward, “Do you find anything?”

Adolph frowned and shook his head, feeling strange.

Had Jeffrey gone to all that trouble to build a one-person high compartment but did not put anything in it?

Channing walked in and observed the compartment behind the wardrobe. Then, he reached out his hand, touched the wall next to him and said slowly, “This wall is different from the others in the room, it is rough and some parts aren’t even plastered with cement.”

Stella opened her mouth and understood what Channing meant. However, she still could not figure out what Jeffrey was hiding. To her surprise, he built a wall behind the wardrobe.

Sherry also came over and asked softly, “It’s quite troublesome to break down the wall, right? Shall we call a professional construction team to come over?”

Adolph looked at the mottled wall and tentatively knocked it with the rod. Immediately, stones fell down.

He said, “This wall is not sealed with cement, it’s not difficult to break it down.”

It could be said that Jeffrey had limited energy and ability to build this wall in the first place and had simply built it, just to hide his things.

Adolph found the largest gap in the wall and then smashed it very hard. Then, the whole wall collapsed instantly.

In the corner behind the wall, a rectangular wooden box appeared.

Seeing this, Sherry could not help but said, “He’s really hiding something. Will it be a precious treasure?”

At the moment she saw the box, Stella was stunned, with a vague sense of bad premonition. She could not help but grabbed Channing’s arm.

Adolph squatted on the stones. He took out a small knife from the pocket of his trouser and pried the box.

The moment the wooden box was opened, everyone froze in place.

Sherry felt a chill run through her spine and she almost bit her tongue.

She subconsciously moved backwards, but suddenly bumped into something.

Sherry turned her head and saw Daniel staring ahead with a face that seemed even more grave than Stella’s and Channing’s.

After a long time, Stella gently closed her eyes and her voice trembled, “Call the police.”

She had always thought that Jeffrey was just a gambling addict and a jerk, but she never thought ...

It was unbelievable that he could do such a thing.

The corners of Channing’s lips were taut, as if he was also trying his best to suppress something.

Sherry fumbled for her mobile phone and was about to call the police. However, Daniel held her hand, “Wait.”

Sherry was puzzled, “Wait ... for what?”

Daniel looked at Stella, “Ms. Radomil, I want to talk to you for a few minutes.”

Stella came out from her absent-minded state and looked at Adolph, “You go first, I will tell the police that we found this place unintentionally.”

Adolph nodded. He was shocked too.

No one would expect that Jeffrey, that old bastard who looked immodest and wimpy, would actually hide a corpse in the wall.

After Adolph left, Stella and Daniel walked to the living room. She said, “What do you want to talk to me about?”
