Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 745

By the river, the night breeze was a little cool and the waves were getting higher.

Elaine stood on the harbor, hijacked by Caesar.

Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse from crying, "Uncle ..."

Caesar lowered his voice and said, "Elaine, I won't hurt you. If they let me go, you can go back safely."

Elaine choked, "But you weren't like this before... Will you come back? Grandpa and Dad won't blame you. You have to stop being so obsessed."

Caesar was a bit of a wreck, but the smile on his face was relaxed, "Elaine, you're still young. When you get older, you'll know that no one in the James family can stand me, including you. Have you ever hated me?"

Elaine said, "That's because you caused Sherry to lose her baby and I ..."

"Right? What's happened has happened, and it can never be changed. I'm not obsessed. They're the ones who have pushed me step by step to where I am now. Don't I want to get on with my life? But who has given me a chance? Did your grandfather give me one? Or did your father give me one? And Sherry, will she ever forgive me?"

Elaine opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

As darkness fell, the lights along the harbor were lit up one by one and illuminated the whole river.

Darnell stood a short distance away with one hand in his trouser pocket and looked indifferent.

Caesar shouted at him, "I don't have time to waste with you here. How long before the boat arrives?"

Darnell glanced at his watch, "Two minutes."

Caesar laughed, "I'm surprised you're teaming up with them. Seems like I've made quite a scene."

Darnell looked at him and said in an unemotional tone, "Don't flatter yourself. You and I both know who's behind you now that you've come back to Riverside City to stir up troubles."

"But so what if you know? In fact, I'm quite curious as to why you've managed to keep your composure when Clarence doesn't deal with him. You think you can atone for Bancroft's wrongdoings by this?"

"It's none of your business."

Caesar laughed loudly, "I'm afraid you can't spare the energy right now. Since the death of Bancroft, the James family has been in chaos. Those who opposed you died, but the forces behind them are still there. You can't uproot them overnight. And you dare not push them too hard because you're afraid they'll work with City N, and then the James family will be completely out of your control."

Darnell was silent, and after a long time, his lips curled up, as if in silent mockery.

The smile on Caesar's face slowly froze as he finally understood what was going on, "You have foreseen the death of those elders a long time ago, right?"

Just as he finished, Caesar suddenly realized why his men could have killed those elders so easily.

How did Darnell eradicate those men in just two days after he returned to Riverside City so quietly?

So that was how it was ...

He thought he could pin the blame on Darnell, but he didn't expect that he was the one being used. To murder those people with a borrowed knife; he turned out to be the knife.

At that moment, the boat Caesar wanted pulled up behind him.

The man on the boat came down and walked straight up to Darnell.

Darnell looked at Caesar and his voice was cold, "Let her go."

Caesar withdrew his gaze and spoke in a voice that only he and Elaine could hear before pushing her forward. Then he quickly jumped into the boat and left.

Elaine lunged forward a few steps before being caught.

But before she had time to stand firm, there was a sudden bang in the distance.

The next second, the ship was going up in flames!

Elaine was startled by the blast and involuntarily clutched the man's shirt.
