Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 553

In the hot pot restaurant…

Clarence still didn’t show up when they finished the meal.

Stella dialed Clarence, yet only to learn that his phone was turned off.

Seeing this, Sherry asked, “Stella, what’s wrong?”

Stella put her phone back into her pocket and shook her head, “Nothing. Clarence told me that he will come here just now, but…”

Daniel asked, “Did anything happen to the Conrad Group in these two days?”

“I think so. But when I asked Nathan about this today, he told me they are some insignificant interior affairs and they’ve been solved.”

“Some insignificant interior affairs?”

Stella uncontrollably pressed her lips together when she heard the question. She guessed that Nathan probably didn’t tell her about the truth. However, now that they didn’t want to talk too much about this, she didn’t probe into it.

But based on Daniel’s attitude, it seemed like this problem was much more intractable than what she had imagined.

Stella pondered for a while and then asked, “Do… Do you know something about the condition?”

Daniel replied, “I heard this afternoon that Clarence deployed all his men in these two days and searched the whole City N. I’ve never seen this before. As for the details, I’m also not clear about them. But I feel it’s something about the Conrad Group’s interior affairs.”

“Could it be that he’s looking for Lyndon?”

“It’s not likely because we’re mainly responsible for looking for Lyndon. Even when he was looking for Phoebe back then, he didn’t use so many forces like this.”

Hearing their discussion, Sherry asked Stella in a low voice, “Could it be that he cheats you and raises the other woman outside?”

Daniel twitched his mouth, “This is more impossible. But…”

Daniel seemed to think of something and suddenly paused. He knitted his brows, his expression getting more serious.

Stella asked, “What do you know?”

Daniel’s expression returned to normal after a short while. He replied with a smile, “Nothing. It’s just that I suddenly thought of something. It’s not important.”

Daniel took a glance at the clock, “Then let’s go.”

After walking out of the hot pot restaurant, Stella expressed farewell to Sherry and got into a car that was parked by the roadside.

Sherry withdrew her gaze and asked Daniel, “You know what Clarence is doing, right?”

Daniel smiled awkwardly, “How can I know about his affairs?”

“Your reaction just now was abnormal. You must know something.”

Daniel was lost for words. Several seconds later, he replied, “Don’t think too much. I know nothing, seriously.”

He received a piece of news that Stella’s child was probably alive and asked his men to investigate it several times, yet they found no clue.

Daniel also tried to find some clues from Clarence, but Clarence didn’t give him any chance.

It was safe to say only Stella and that baby deserved Clarence to use all his forces just to find them.

But it was just his guess.

Moreover, based on Stella’s reaction, he guessed that she knew nothing of it. Therefore, he couldn’t tell her about this secret under such a circumstance.

Originally this was Sherry’s trick. Seeing that she couldn’t get any information from Daniel, she pouted, “Well.”

…

On the other side…

Sitting in her car, Stella dialed Nathan.

But it was Clarence to answer the call.

Stella paused when she recognized his voice and asked, “Didn’t you say you will come to have hot pot together. Where are you now?”

Clarence replied in a flat down, “There was suddenly an emergency in the company, so I came back.”

Stella asked after a short while of silence, “Then why was your phone off?”

“It was out of power. I prepared to call you just now.”

“Will you come back tonight?”

“Nope. I have to deal with many things. Go to bed early.”

Stella replied with a simple answer and added, “Go on with your business, goodbye.”

Clarence replied, “Okay. Be careful when driving.”
