Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 61

After all, what Adolph wanted was the actual money instead of Jeffrey’s life.

Hearing that Jeffrey’s howling was becoming weaker and weaker, Adolph stopped his men.

He glanced at the almost dead Jeffrey and withdrew his gaze. He looked over at Stella. “I never expect that you’ll be so heartless. You even stood and watched without doing anything. After all, he’s your father, isn’t he?”

Stella had a dried-out throat. After a few seconds, she answered, “If he still cared about my brother and me, he wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

Adolph didn’t speak. He couldn’t agree with her more.

He continued, “What do you plan to do now?”

Stella inhaled. “You can take this fifty thousand. As for the rest of the debt, no matter in what way you want him to pay back, it’s between him and you only. It has nothing to do with me.”

Only after cutting ties with Jeffrey completely would those debtors know that it was useless to ask her to pay the debt for her father.

After thinking for a few seconds, Adolph looked over at Channing and asked. “What about you? Don’t you want to take care of it either?”

Channing looked quite cold. “He deserved it. It’s none of my business.”

As he spoke, he took Stella’s hand. “Stella, let’s go.”

Watching them go out of the box, a man asked, “Boss, are we letting them leave like this? What about our money?”

Adolph turned around and hinted him to look at Jeffrey, who was lying on the floor. “Isn’t the indebted still there?”

He recalled that Jeffrey had owed someone else earlier. Later, he managed to get two million from somewhere. Since Jeffrey was capable to do so, Adolph wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t be able to pay back his debt.

Adolph squatted down and said to Jeffrey, “I’ll give you a few more days. You should know the interest increases every day. You’d better not escape. I’ll ask my men to follow you all the time. If you dare to make a move, as long as I can’t receive my money, you can’t blame me for being cruel to end your life.”

Walking out of the gate, Stella suddenly felt her legs weekend. If it weren’t that Channing helped her up, she would probably fall on the ground.

After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice, “Chan, have I don’t something wrong? After all, he is...”

Channing interrupted her, “Haven’t you said that if he still cared about us, he wouldn’t have done so? Since he could do something without any rock bottom, why can’t we?”

Stella fell into the silence and didn’t speak.

Although she had become numb for what Jeffrey did, when she saw him being beaten up by a group of men, she still felt quite upset.

Channing added, “No worries. He’ll be fine. You’ve given them some money, haven’t you?”

Fifty thousand wasn’t a big amount, but it could save Jeffrey’s life for the time being at least.

“I hope so.”

She had looked into Adolph’s background in the past few days. He was a typical usurer, smart and thoughtful. He would never kill the indebted in anger just because he wouldn’t receive the debt, which wasn’t worthy for him at all.

Sending Stella home, Channing pulled out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to her.

Stella was stunned. Instead of taking it over, she asked, “What’s this?”

“There’s some money in this card. It’s useless for me for the time being. Please take it.”
