Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 781

After Nathan had taken him away, he returned to the office. Looking at the man standing in front of the French window, he said in a low voice, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad...”

Clarence didn’t react. He peered out of the window coldly and expressionlessly.

When Nathan nodded slightly and was about to leave, Clarence suddenly asked, “Do you think he’s telling the truth?”

Nathan was silent for a few seconds and answered, “No matter what he said, he had a purpose. Mr. Conrad, you can just ignore him.”

Clarence asked flatly, “Ignore him?”

“They just want to save your father, so they came to beg you. He said those words to provoke you, so you would become an enemy with Young Master Justin. Then, their goal would be achieved.”

“But you know he has told the truth, right?”

Nathan immediately shushed.

This subject was always Clarence’s taboo.

Since Joanna died, many things had happened in City N and Riverside City. All those matters had been far beyond Joanna’s control.

If she could make such a fuss, she wouldn’t have committed suicide to intensify the hatred between Clarence and Justin.

In the beginning, Clarence had thought that Joanna was in touch with Riverside City. However, the investigation showed that she had no idea about the James family’s existence.

Besides, before Joanna committed suicide, she asked the nanny to strangle the baby in front of all people.

Whether the baby had been killed or not, neither Clarence nor Dempsey would spare her.

At that time, she wanted to die so determinedly.

She believed she wouldn’t suffer a loss if she could make the baby die with her.

That was her plan.

If she had given the baby the injection, she wouldn’t need to commit suicide at all. She could only wait until the baby’s disease to break out. If she could watch them be worried but fail to do anything, she would definitely get her kicks and vent her anger.

The investigation of the injection led the clue to Riverside City.

In other words, the injection had opened a door for the investigation, leading them to find what was behind it.

The person who had given him a window wanted to urge Clarence to look into the truth of twenty years ago.

In fact, they should have faintly known who the manipulator was.

However, Clarence asked them to stop the investigation.

He believed that it was enough.

After a moment, Clarence said, “Do you think I’m too selfish?”

Nathan didn’t know how to answer, so he kept silent.

Clarence wasn't actually asking for his opinion either. He continued flatly, “I’m afraid if we continue the investigation, Stella will know it. She used to firmly believe that Justin was the only decent man in the Conrad family. He was the only warmth that she had felt in the Mansion. However, if she knows Justin was the culprit of everything, what will she think? And I also have my own intention. Sometimes, I wonder if what I’ve found is all wrong. I want to wait longer and hope to see a favorable turn. Not only Stella, but he also used to make me see the sunshine in that disgusting mansion.”

Clarence had thought he knew Justin well as they stayed in the same house over two decades.

However, the Justin Conrad that Clarence knew well had been living with a mask.

At least, when Clarence was firstly taken back to the Conrad family, Justin had treated him sincerely.

Nathan had been working for Clarence for so many years. This was the first time that he heard Clarence speak so many words from the bottom of his heart.

The critical point was that Nathan wasn’t good at dealing with such a situation.

After a long while, Nathan uttered a few words while nodding, “It’s indeed...”
