Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 66

Clarence took a glance at the lobby calmly and said, “The banquet is going to start.”

He walked towards the second floor after finishing the words.

Stella felt more flustered when she heard his words, “Mr. Conrad…”

Clarence didn’t turn around and she could only see his indifferent back.

Stella gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and then followed him.

Clarence walked upstairs to the second floor, pushed open the door of the bedroom and then directly walked to the cloakroom.

Stella followed him without a second thought, “Mr. Conrad, what’s wrong with my brother? Please make it clear!”

Clarence, who was picking neckties, said in a cold voice, “This is my private space, Miss, please leave right away. Otherwise, I’ll call the police.”

Stella was rendered speechless. “Clarence, are you insane?” She asked in her heard.

“Mr. Conrad, please tell me what happens to my brother. I promise I will leave here right away if you can tell me and I won’t stay in this place for a single more second.”

“Your brother? Like you, he made the silliest choice for the sake of money.”

Stella recalled that Channing gave her a bank card before and felt overwhelmed by uneasiness. She didn’t have any mood to care about any other things and grabbed Clarence’s arm, “Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence looked down at her hand. Stella hastily took back her hand. When she was about to say something, Clarence pressed a necktie on her palm.

He said in a cold voice, “The most urgent thing now is the banquet downstairs.”

Stella gritted her teeth and had an impulse to strangle him with the necktie in her hand.

When he tied the necktie for him, Clarence landed an emotionless gaze on her face, “Horace will engage today. He will be happy if he sees you here.”

Stella finally failed to suppress her resentment and abruptly tightened the necktie.

Clarence slightly knitted his brows.

Stella hurriedly adjusted the necktie, “Sorry, sorry, I’m not skilled in this.”

Clarence found out her small tricks soon. He sneered and casually took out a dress from the wardrobe, “Wear it.”

Stella was a bit stunned, “Me?”

Clarence became impatient, “It’s that for me?”

Stella was rendered speechless and pondered why Clarence was so temperamental today.

After a long while, she said, “Mr. Conrad, I just want to know what happens to my brother. If you can answer my question, I will leave immediately.”

“I don’t want to talk about this now.” Clarence continued, “If you’re impatient, you can go and directly ask your brother.”

Stella felt that her mind was going to explode. If Channing could tell her when asked, why did she have to beg Clarence now?

She pondered for a while and said, “Mr. Conrad, I don’t want to take part in the banquet, you…” Stella wanted to ask him to make the other request.

Clarence, who was leaning against the wardrobe, spoke after several seconds, “You think I want to take part in it?”

Stella was silent and recalled what Justin said before.

She doubted that Clarence asked her to go to the banquet with him with a purpose of using her as an excuse to deal with Joanna.

Stella said in a low voice, “This dress is not suitable to me.”

“Each of the clothes here is of your size.”

Stella blushed, “I… I have gotten some weights recently.”

Clarence was rendered speechless.

Phoebe turned around and smiled at her, “Nothing. I saw something incredible just now.”

Rebecca heaved a long sigh, “Will Horace’s engagement ceremony be smooth today?”

Although it was a birthday party for Joanna, today’s banquet was more like an opportunity that the two families had arranged in advance to declare the engagement in front of those guests.

Although both Horace and Clarence would be in a dilemma after the declaration, their main target was not Horace, but Clarence.

Even though the two families had reached an agreement on the engagement, the Conrad Group was basically controlled by Clarence for the time being.

It was a union of the two families on the surface, but the nature of this engagement was the cooperation between the two companies.

Phoebe said, “Horace has tacitly approved this. Otherwise, he won’t come to this banquet today.”

Rebecca looked a bit helpless, “Based on the situation of the family, this seemed to be the only way for us to get out.”

The outsiders might not be able to perceive this, but they were quite clear that the Jason family had been going downhill over the past two years. Rebecca’s father had tried many approaches, yet they were all proved to be useless. Therefore, when they got the opportunity to build connection with the Conrad Group through marriage, they agreed with it without hesitation and regardless of Horace’s opinion, even though they knew that Annie was an unruly and self-willed woman.

Last now, Horace’s parents invited Horace to the study and they talked for the whole night. For commercial marriages, there was always a clear distinction between interests and affections. If Horace really didn’t like Annie, he could divorce her when the cooperation between the two companies came to an end.

So far, commercial marriage was the plainest excuse.

Both Clarence and Annie were all Dempsey’s chess pieces.

When he lost control of one chess piece, he would immediately use the other one to achieve his purpose.

Phoebe sent Rebecca back to the lobby of the banquet. When she was about to find Stella, she saw Annie walking to her with a gloomy expression.

Phoebe asked, “What’s wrong?”

Annie squeezed out the words from between her teeth, “That shameless woman also takes part in this banquet. She knows that I will engage with Horace and she must be here to make a fuss. If Clarence is not here, I will directly drive her out of this place!”
