Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 599

At the same time, in Riverside city.

Clarence was standing in front of a French window and gazing at the panorama of the whole Riverside city. There was no expression on his face.

He had been here for two days, but there was still no sign of Darnell.

Nathan came in, “Mr. Conrad, I just received news that Darnell will join a party at night. The invitation card will be here soon.”

Clarence mumbled a vague response, “Is there any news from Vincent?”

Nathan shook his head. Ever since they arrived at Riverside city, they had lost contact with Vincent.

Nathan then said, “I have sent some men to look for him. I’m sure we will have some news soon.”

Clarence sounded uninterested, “You can stop looking.”

Everything that was happening now had revealed to him the actual problem.

Nathan nodded, “I will go ahead and prepare the suit you are going to wear tonight, Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence retrieved his gaze and fished out his phone only to discover that it was switched off at some point.

Clarence turned on his phone again.

His brows were knitted together, and at this moment, Nathan came in anxiously, “Mr. Conrad, Maxwell called just now and said that madam and Little Noah were abducted.”

Clarence’s face immediately lost all colour and his fingers strapped themselves around his phone, “Who is behind this?”

“It is probably not Madam Conrad’s doing.” Nathan hesitated before continuing, “What’s more, Maxwell told me that it was Donald who had diverted him. Besides that, Mr. James’ men had tried to stop them.”

Maxwell was never wary of Vincent’s men all along, and he only started to suspect something was amiss after Stella’s disappearance.

Clarence pressed his frosty lips together and there was a chill that overcame his indifferent features.

After a while, his lips parted slightly only to speak these two words mechanically, “Vincent James.

Nathan probed, “Mr. Conrad, are we still attending the party tonight? Or should we return to City N as soon as possible?”

“We will go.” Clarence put down his phone and his tone was devoid of any warmth, “If we didn’t go, how would we know what is inside their heads.”

It was eight at night.

As the younger ones who were most beloved by Bancroft when he was still alive and kicking, Elaine James’ birthday celebration was unprecedentedly bashful and eventful. Not only that most of the socialites and elites of every industry were present, but even the media was also invited to report on the scene at the entrance.

The entrance to the birthday bash resembled an official red carpet event.

The scene outside the hall was glittery and full of pompousness as camera lights continued to flicker away.

Just when the journalists were busy clicking away, suddenly an unfamiliar figure who was never seen before around here emerged from a dark Maybach.

A few onlookers murmured amongst themselves, “Who is this? Why have I never seen this man before?”

“I don’t know, but from his looks, he must not be from Riverside city, right?”

“Hey, wait, isn’t he from the Conrad Group?”

“The Conrad Group? Do you mean that Conrad Group from City N? Why in the world would he be here?”

“This is big news. The missus from the James family really did garner a lot of prestige. I can’t believe that the president of the Conrad Group would come from City N just to attend her birthday bash.”

“Are you serious with what you just said? Miss James here is the princess of Riverside city after all, and besides this president, all the other attendees of the birthday celebration have impressive backgrounds too. Furthermore, what’s so great about the Conrad Group? James family possibly won’t even entertain it.”

“My brother, you are way overstepping the line. Everyone knows that this current president has had impressive power over the group ever since he overtook it. Not only in the nation, but he is also top-tier even compared across the whole of Asia.”

“Hmph, that is because the James family is famous for being low-key. Did you forget about that rumour? The James family can’t operate outside of City N, otherwise, there won’t be any grounds for another party to compete over.”

“Excuse me, allow me to interrupt you guys, is the Mr. Conrad you are talking about that Mr. Conrad who was the hot topic on social media when he confessed to someone while playing the guitar?”

The others all stopped talking and looked at the mysterious gentleman.

From his cold and indifferent demeanour, he didn’t resemble the man captured on the video no matter how you look at it.

After entering the hall of the birthday bash, those reporters stopped their bantering.
