Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 861

The bail of Channing did not run smoothly.

The media may have got the information from someone and now there were a large number of journalists waiting eagerly outside the police office.

Seemingly if Channing managed to get out of the gate of the police office, they would produce articles criticizing the manipulation of the police system by the rich as soon as possible.

Facing the pressure from both sides, the police chief was concerned so much so that he felt like retiring instantly.

Looking at Clarence who was sitting on the sofa, the chief finally opened his mouth cautiously, “Mr. Conrad, I think you’ve noticed the situation outside. Maybe you can have your younger brother staying here for some days until all has settled down. Then I will send him to you on my own.”

There was no change on Clarence’s face. He just said coldly, “Sir, I have no intention to put you in a dilemma. But I’m just curious about why someone like Chassell Barret who was under a prison sentence could be bailed. And I can’t help but wonder why an excellent student with no criminal record who has not been judged guilty yet and has made great contribution to our country could not be bailed.”

“Ah ...” The Chief looked quite embarrassed, “Don’t worry, Mr. Conrad. I will make it clear why Chassell Barret could be bailed and inform you as quickly as I can. But you know how powerful the media is nowadays. I know you don’t want to make a big deal out of this case. So ... maybe you can wait for a few days.”

The Chief continued, “And Chassell is still in the ICU now. If after a few days he woke up, it would turn into a case of intentional injury and the situation would get better. By then the journalists could do almost nothing about it no matter how they exaggerate what has happened. Am I right Mr. Conrad?”

A sense of concern welled up on Clarence’s face and he became speechless.

Indeed, he should not bail Channing today. Otherwise, Stella would definitely know what happened.

Noticing Clarence’s attitude having become less aggressive, The Chief instantly stood up and said, “I will definitely take good care of your younger brother.”

Clarence said, “I hope you could make it clear as soon as possible why Chassell Barret could be bailed.”

“I’m on it.”

Winnie had been waiting in the hall. Now seeing Clarence coming over, she instantly walked to him and said with one hand clenched in another, “Mr. Conrad, can he be bailed?”

Clarence stopped, “No.”

He had a glimpse at the journalists outside and said, “You wait here until the journalists have all left.”

Winnie opened her mouth but failed to utter a single sound.

She wanted to ask Clarence why Channing could not be bailed.

But if someone as prominent as Clarence couldn’t make the situation better, then there was no need to ask anymore.

And then Donald came out.

Winnie looked at him. Before she could say anything, Donald shook his head and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose, “Not good. He seemed to be reluctant to cooperate.”

Winnie asked, “Then... can I meet him?”

Donald said, “Yes, you can. But he was unwilling to meet you.”

Winnie was stunned, “Are you sure of that?”

Donald coughed, “You may get me wrong. I don’t mean it literally. It’s just...”

He was not adept at explaining things like that. He was afraid that Winnie may misunderstand what he said.

When he was talking to Channing, he could judge from Channing’s attitude and words that the photos did not affect his love for her.

But now he had no idea how to face her, nor did he know what to say to her. By no means did he want to let her see he was confined to such a place.
