Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 697

Elaine had never been mocked in this way before. Anger surged in her heart. She said, “You are my uncle, too. How could you say that to me?”

“Did you ever take me as your uncle?”

“You...”

Stella couldn’t look on any longer. She pulled Elaine’s hand. “Calm down. I want to get some fresh air. Let’s go.”

She dragged Elaine away from the battlefield.

After they were gone, Caesar said slowly, “I’ve never imagined we three would encounter each other here in such a way.”

Clarence uttered indifferently, “Isn’t it what you’ve been hoping to see?”

Caesar smiled without answering, looking ahead.

Justin Conrad arrived.

His assistant pushed his wheelchair over and stopped in front of them.

Justin said, “Hi Clarence. Good morning, Mr. James.”

Then he looked over at Darnell next to them and asked, “Who is this gentleman?”

Caesar didn’t tell him Darnell’s identity. He replied, “He’s my cousin.”

With a friendly smile, Justin said, “Mr. James, you do have a family full of talents.”

As he spoke, he asked Clarence, “Has Stella come?”

“Yes, she has. She went out to get some fresh air.”

Justin said, “When I just arrived here, Mr. James told me one of the rings in the auction tonight was from Stella’s parents. I’ll ask the staff to take it out from the auction. You can give it to Stella.”

Clarence said, “No, thanks. I can buy it myself.”

“All right. I know you wanted to do something for her.”

Then he added, “There’s still another hour before the charity banquet starts. It’s too noisy here. Clarence, Mr. James, and this… Mr. James too, let’s go to the lounge, shall we?”

Caesar nodded. “Of course.”

The assistant pushed Justin forward. Caesar followed them.

Clarence and Darnell were walking behind them.

Clarence asked, “What have you found out so far?”

Darnell asked, “Whom are you referring to?”

Clarence pursed his lips in silence.

Darnell continued, “Ever since Caesar James left Riverside City, he has been staying in Pathville these years and cut off contact with the James family.”

“Why did he leave the James family back then?” asked Clarence.

...

Outside the banquet hall, Elaine asked, “Stella, how’s Sherry doing now?”

Stella remained silent. Looking at Elaine’s crystal-clear eyes, she didn’t know how to answer her question.

Seeing her like this, Elaine's smile faded away. A bad hunch surged in her heart. She asked tentatively, “Did something happen to Sherry?”

There were people who passed by them at that moment.

Stella said, “Let me tell you after we go home.”

Elaine’s bright eyes twinkled and dimmed.

Something must have happened.
