Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 561

In the Conrad Group…

Vincent James pushed open the door of the office and said while walking into the office, “Nathan told me that you’re looking for me for some matters.”

Sitting in front of the office desk, Clarence said without even looking up, “Wait for a minute.”

Vincent sat down on the sofa in repose with his eyes closed.

Both Clarence and Vincent hadn’t had a good rest over the past few days.

Ten minutes later, Clarence walked towards him and sat down, “I remember that you’re from Riverside City.”

Vincent slowly opened his eyes when he heard the words, “Yes. What’s the matter?”

Clarence asked, “How much do you know about the James family?”

Vincent was stunned as he didn’t expect him to ask this question. He then replied, “Why do you suddenly…”

“This matter probably has something to do with that family in Riverside City.”

“Do you mean the matter that the baby was taken back to the Conrad family?” Vincent knitted his brows, “I think it doesn’t make sense. What’s the reason for the James family to do this?”

Clarence said faintly, “No matter whether this matter was planned by them or not, based on the current situation, it’s safe to say that the James family must have something to do with it.”

Vincent asked after a short while of silence, “What do you want to know?”

“Everything you know.”

Vincent said slowly, “The James family has lived in Riverside City for generations. Along with the family’s development and expansion, some of its descendants engaged in commerce, some of them engaged in police and some became soldiers. The family gradually became the biggest family in Riverside and became incomparable both in wealth and power.”

“However, the James family has an unwritten rule: the descendants of the family are not allowed to leave Riverside lifetime. If one chooses to leave the city, it will be regarded as cutting the ties with the James family and that person is not allowed to step into Riverside again. The James family will not care about it no matter that person will live happily or die miserably.”

“But the family was so big that it gradually developed many branches along with its history and the kinship was therefore weakened. As they didn’t take the rule seriously, that unwritten rule was gradually forgotten. However, I heard that the lineal descendants of the James family are still abiding by that rule.” Vincent added.

Clarence just looked at him silently.

Vincent was bewildered.

He explained, “Don’t think too much. I’m not a member of the James family. My parents went to City N and settled here many years ago and I don’t have any relatives or friends in Riverside. It’s meaningless for me to come back to the city.”

Clarence slowly tapped his knees with his fingers, “Go on.”

“Where were we just now? Oh…Bancroft James, the patriarch of the James family, had passed away. The one taking charge of the family now is Darnell James, Bancroft’s grandson. I haven’t seen him, but there have been many rumors about Darnell over the years. Anyway… Don’t provoke him if it’s unnecessary.”

Clarence asked, “Is that all?”

Vincent threw up his hand, “That’s all.”

At the next moment, he continued, “To be honest, although I haven’t seen Darnell before, I’m sure that this matter must have nothing to do with the James family. Riverside is far away from City N and Darnell won’t provoke you and seek troubles for himself.”

Right at this moment, Maxwell walked into the office. “Mr. Conrad, he confessed everything. Ms. Anderson and Little Noah are in the backyard of the Conrads’ Mansion.”

…

In the hospital…

Although Sherry was very scared, she had made up her mind.

Sitting on a chair with her eyes closed, she grabbed Stella’s hand tightly.

The TV next to them was playing the report of a piece of news.

“Early in this morning, someone found a woman’s dead body under the bridge. According to the investigation, the victim’s surname is Byron and she died at 15:19 yesterday. This case is still under investigation and we will report the follow-up later. Now let’s come to the next news…”

After a short while, a nurse called Sherry’s name, “Sherry Perry.”

Sherry subconsciously stood up.

The nurse said, “Follow me, please. I will lead you to have the examination.”

Sherry took a deep breath and then stepped forward.

Stella grabbed her hand, “Sherry…”
