Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 77

On the next day, when Clarence walked downstairs, Nathan rushed in, “Mr. Conrad, something happened.”

No matter before or after the engagement, Horace always treated Annie coldly. Besides, both the Conrad and the Jason families considered this marriage for convenience as business cooperation. None of them cared if the young couple-to-be would love each other.

Probably Annie was the only one who cared about this marriage.

Before the engagement, she might be afraid that Horace would reject this marriage, so she restrained herself a big. After the engagement, she felt feel reassured and emboldened.

The matter that Stella got pregnant was like a thorn stabbed in her heart. Hence, she also blamed Stella for how cold and distant Horace treated her.

Besides, she knew that Stella didn’t get pregnant after marrying her cousin for three years. Once they divorced, she got pregnant. Hence, Annie guessed that Horace was the father of the baby for sure.

Hence, in the early morning today, Annie started making a fuss at the dining table. However, she was quite smart that she didn’t mention Stella’s name. She just said a woman got Horace’s baby and asked Dempsey to be her backer.

If Dempsey would look into the matter and find out the woman was Stella, Annie didn’t think that it has anything to do with her.

Upon hearing it, Dempsey went ballistic. It was alright if they didn’t love each other, but this matter was relevant to the Conrad family’s dignity. Moreover, it had only been a few days after their engagement, but this matter was exposed at this critical moment, which was a scandal of the Jason family. It would impact their cooperation absolutely.

Nathan continued, “Your father asked the Jason family for an explanation. The Jasons should be on the way to the Conrads’ Mansion now.”

Clarence’s expression didn’t change. He asked in a flat tone, “How did Annie find it?”

“I’m not certain. I’ll look into the matter now.”

“Not necessary.” Clarence strode out. He said in a cold tone, “I’ll go ask her.”

...

In the Conrads' Mansion…

With both hands pressing on the walking stick, Dempsey sat on the sofa and didn’t speak with a cold face.

Opposite him, Annie kept weeping.

Hearing her sobs for a long time, Dempsey started running out of patience, “It has already happened. What’s so useful if you weep. You wanted to marry Horace in the beginning. He doesn’t like you at all. Sooner or later he would have a mistress outside.”

Annie said in a grievance tone, “But it’s that woman who keeps pestering him. Now she got his baby. They don’t care how I feel at all.”

Dempsey said angrily, “So what she’s pregnant with his baby? I don’t think Horace dares to take in that baby and make it one of his families.”

Right then, Joanna cast a glance at the door. Suddenly, she chimed in, “Indeed. Not all bastards are so fortunate.”

The next second, a servant's voice was heard, “Good morning, Mr. Clarence.”

Clarence hummed indifferently. His cold and handsome face looked expressionlessly.

The whole house quieted down instantly, the temperature dropping.

Seeing that Clarence arrived, Annie didn’t have the guts to weep and complain at all. She started sobbing in a low voice.

When Justin came downstairs, he saw the scene. He heaved a sigh in silence, “Clarence, could you push me to have a walk in the garden, please? I want to talk to you.”

After they were gone, Dempsey said with a frown, “Why are you trying to piss him off?”
