Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 39

“Say.” The tone was cold, simple and direct.

While holding the earpiece, Stella licked her lips before speaking cautiously, “I just found out that my… antacid is missing, I don’t know if I’ve left it in your office…”

“No.”

After Clarence finished, he did not wait for her to speak again and hung up the phone without hesitation.

Stella was speechless.

It was fine if he did not have. Why did he have to be so fierce, what a wretched man.

Stella was lying on the bed. Although she deliberately said that the folic acid was antacid, if it was really left there, with the function of folic acid, the wretched man would definitely criticize her for having wishful thinking.

But even if the situation was like this, Stella was still a little worried. She did not manage to sleep soundly that night. When she woke up the next morning, she went to the café and restaurant she went to yesterday to ask but the staff of both places said that they did not see it.

She could only hope that it was left on the road.

Stella was not free in the afternoon. She made a few appointments to look at some houses and was preparing to sign a contract to move out when she saw the suitable one.

…

In the Conrad Group.

Clarence looked up from a pile of documents. He coldly gazed at the IOU and folic acid placed next to him. He suddenly sneered.

She surprisingly said that it was antacid.

Clarence’s thin lips were pursed. After a long time, he took out his phone, found the number that Stella called her last night, and called back.

He wanted to see how would Stella look like when she received the bottle of folic acid in front of him. He also wanted to see what kind of fresh excuses she could use.

After the call was answered, a gentle female voice sounded, “Welcome, you’re calling Cloud Top Hotel, how may I help you?”

Clarence’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Hotel?

Wasn’t she staying at her friend’s house, why did she go to the hotel.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Clarence’s face instantly turned cold. A thin layer of coldness was covering his eyes.

After hanging up the phone, he got up and strode out of the office.

When he walked to the door, he walked back to pick up the folic acid on the table and put it in his shirt pocket.

Seeing him coming out, Nathan hurriedly followed him, “Mr. Conrad…”

Clarence’s tone was slightly cold, “Go to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine.”

“Yes.”

Halfway through the journey, Nathan received a call and his expression was somewhat gloomy, “Mr. Conrad, the members of the Jason family has gone to the Conrads’ Mansion and I hear that they are going to discuss the marriage of Mr. Jason and Miss Conrad.”

No emotions could be found on Clarence’s facial features that were fully covered with coldness. He spoke only after a few seconds, “Go back.”

The Rolls-Royce made a turn and moved in the direction of the Conrads’ Mansion.

…

In addition to Horace’s parents, the people who came to the Conrad family this time also included Phoebe.

The Steward family and the Conrad family had been friends for generations. Phoebe was gentle, quiet and well-educated so Joanna liked her very much.

After greeting the elders, Phoebe knew that she was not suitable to stay on such an occasion, “Auntie and uncle, I’ve found some classical music records abroad this time. Justin will certainly like them, I’ll take them to him.”

Joanna said while smiling, “Go ahead, he’s in the garden. You guys haven’t seen each other for long, he’ll definitely be jubilant to see you.”

This was originally a matter between Annie and Horace so logically, Annie’s marriage should be decided by her parents as she was only the daughter of Joanna’s younger sister and even though she had changed her last name to Conrad, she was still not a real member of the Conrad family.

However, both families knew very well that Annie was not important. What really needed to be accomplished this time was the marriage between the Conrad family and the Jason family.

Therefore, the people who came out to call the shots this time would be Dempsey and Joanna as a matter of course.

Among the noble families, this kind of marriage that involved business was very common.

Also, Annie behaved very well in front of the elders and she was honey-tongued.

Horace’s parents felt that she should be pampered since her childhood and she should have no bad thoughts. After the marriage, she may change.

The two parties discussed the marriage with their own purposes and with Annie’s help, the progress was fast. Just when it almost came to the conclusion, Clarence suddenly came back.

As soon as he appeared, as if everyone’s stop button had been pressed, no one continued speaking.

Only Annie said happily, “Clarence, Horace and I will be engaged soon, nobody will be able to steal him from me anymore in the future.”

Dempsey said, “I plan to hold the wedding next month and the venue will be at Coastal Hotel which is the subsidiary of the Conrad Group. Clarence, what do you think.”

“I don’t agree,” Clarence sat on the sofa and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Annie was a little anxious, “Clarence…”

Rebecca said, “Can Mr. Conrad tell us what is the reason for your disagreement.”

“What kind of mess does Clarence have outside, he himself knows it.”

George frowned, “Mr. Conrad, words can’t be said without proof. Horace is an honest and good man. He always preserves his moral integrity and will never do anything immoral outside.”

Dempsey said with a deep voice, “What’s going on.”

Annie quickly stood up, “It’s that woman who has been pestering Horace. Horace has been cheated by her!”

Joanna said, “Which woman? Annie, say it clearly.”

“It’s Ste…”

When Annie said halfway, Clarence glanced at her coldly.

Annie gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, “Anyway, there is nothing at all between Horace and her. I’ll only get married to him!”

Rebecca said at this time, “Although Annie is Mr. Conrad’s younger sister, the marriage matter is always decided by parents. Mr. Conrad seems to have controlled too much.”

Clarence’s thin lips curled coldly and his tone was even more indifferent, “I don’t have that much time to bother this, I don’t care about Annie’s marriage. But after she gets married, all the shares under her name will be returned to the Conrad Group.”

After these words were uttered, the entire living room fell into an eerie silence once again.

Clarence had made it very clear. If they wanted to use this marriage to collaborate with the Jason family to increase their control over the Conrad Group, their wish could only be in vain. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

This also meant that the Conrad Group would not have any cooperation with the Jason family. This marriage that involved business was ultimately only to no avail.

Joanna’s face looked worse, “Haven’t you gone too far.”

The reason why Annie changed her last name was Joanna’s request in order to get the shares of the Conrad Group.

But, Clarence’s deeds undoubtedly ruined all her plans.

The Jason family was famous. Although the marriage with the Conrad family would bring a great benefit to them, Clarence’s words were too harsh and they could not stand this.

George got up and said, “This is the family matter of you guys. We aren’t appropriate to involve, we’ll leave first.”

Annie was very anxious and she hurriedly went to keep them from leaving, “Mr. Jason, Clarence didn’t mean that. Mrs. Jason, please persuade Mr. Jason, I…”

Tabitha pulled her hand away, “Annie, it’s better to wait until your family has discussed it and only then we talk about this matter afterward.”

Rebecca also left.

After a while, only a few of them were left in the living room.

Annie dared to feel angry but she did not dare to utter a word. She could only speak eagerly, “Clarence, I don’t want anything, I just want to be with Horace…”

Dempsey said, “Shut up, Annie.”
