Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 481

Clarence put his focus on Lyndon all these times.

But details about what happened 20 years ago were slowly resurfacing and there were many doubtful points about that explosion.

Stella’s mother managed to escape, and Lyndon was unconscious in the hospital for 3 months. She could’ve gone to Cameron or go to someone else she knew, but she didn’t. She brought her daughter with her and married a rascal.

Maybe Jeffrey wasn’t a rascal back then, but Stella’s mother’s decision was bizarre.

Unless she was afraid of getting discovered, or maybe, she couldn’t help it…

No matter what happened, this wasn’t planned by Lyndon who was lying unconscious in the hospital.

Not to mention that Lyndon thought they had died in the explosion.

Stella tried to ask, “The same year?”

Clarence hummed, “When Justin got into the car accident, the Conrad family’s driver and the driver who caused the accident died immediately on the scene. Justin was the only survivor, but his lower limbs were paralyzed, and he couldn’t stand again after that.”

“How… did the accident happen?”

“The other driver was driving under influence.”

Stella frowned upon hearing it, “2 people died in that car accident, both of them were probably not driving slowly. The other driver was driving under influence, but what about the Conrad family’s driver? Justin was in the car, so why was he driving so fast?”

Clarence smiled, “You’re smart.”

Stella was speechless.

She said, “Tell me properly.”

Clarence was always playing around.

Clarence continued saying, “Here’s the problem. They checked the scene for traces after the accident and didn’t find any brake marks on the road.”

“So, the cars just collided without stopping.” She paused and continued saying, “If that’s the case, then it’s obvious that it’s not an accident. Your… Did Master Conrad launch an investigation?”

“He did, but couldn’t find anything. The driver worked with us for many years. He didn’t have a family and there was no motive. The other driver that caused the incident just got promoted as a department manager. He was going home after a celebration, so he didn’t have a motive either. Hence, the accident was considered as a coincidence.”

Stella continued frowning, “It seems like they didn’t have a motive, but…”

Something was off.

Clarence then said, “I also investigated this incident a few years back and couldn’t understand what happened. But now, at least I know a bit more about it.”

“What do you know?”

“The Conrad family and the Steward family got into trouble the same year, it definitely wasn’t a coincidence.” Clarence tapped his finger on the steering wheel, he said casually, “It only made sense that someone else was behind all of these. And the two drivers, there had to be something about them that we couldn’t think of right now.”

Stella thought that this would be all over after Lyndon showed his true colors.

But it was just the beginning.

Suddenly, Clarence’s phone rang. He stopped his car on the roadside and picked it up, “Yes?”

Stella couldn’t hear the conversation. Clarence frowned and he seemed tense.

Stella got worried, after he hung up the call she quietly asked, “What happened?”

Clarence said in a wintry tone of voice, “Jeffrey is dead.”

Stella was taken aback, she couldn't believe her ears.

…

She stood in front of Jeffrey’s body. His body was green and his limbs were tense.

Stella finally realized that he was gone for good.

The police said, “When we found him, he had already died for a while. The preliminary judgment was that he committed suicide. We had to wait for an autopsy report to really know what happened.”

Stella closed her eyes, she felt weak.

She wanted to see if she could find out more from him, but now he couldn’t answer her questions anymore.
