Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again

Upon hearing his words, Annie felt as if the blood in her body was frozen. She turned around stiffly. Seemingly she had lost her tongue, she couldn’t utter a beep.

Right then, they heard Joanna’s voice from the stairs, “It was an incident that happened three years ago. What’s the meaning to mention it now?”

Annie nodded her head desperately.

Clarence cast a glance at Joanna, curling up his lips into a sneer, “I always believe an eye for an eye. Let alone three years ago, even it happened thirty years ago, I’ll get even with the person one after another.”

Joanna asked, “Do you have any evidence?”

Clarence smiled ironically. After a few seconds, he said, “All right.”

He turned around and ordered his men, “From now on, if Annie Conrad steps out of the Conrads’ Mansion, no matter where she’s going, you can break her legs without telling me.”

Annie widened her eyes in disbelief. She tried to struggle for the very last time, “Aunt Joanna, please...”

Clarence looked back at Joanna, “I’ll go find the evidence for you. I won’t let go of anyone involved.”

Joanna’s expression didn’t change, but she gradually tightened her hands on the handrail on the stairs.

Clarence withdrew his gaze and strode away.

When his figure disappeared, Dempsey paced the floor with the walking stick and sat down on the sofa. He said solemnly, “Annie, tell me honestly. What on earth happened?”

...

In the black Rolls-Royce.

Nathan asked, “Mr. Conrad, it has been three years. Mrs. Joanna has already cleaned up the evidence. Probably we can’t find anything...”

Clarence wasn’t surprised. He said, “If you can’t find the evidence three years ago, find the latest one.”

“Mr. Conrad, do you mean the car accident that happened to Mrs. Conrad?”

From the beginning to the end, all of them could guess that it was Joanna who set Stella up, but the trouble was that they couldn’t find any actual evidence.

Clarence said, “Joanna’s men shouldn’t have all died. Keep on looking into the matter.”

“Yes, Mr. Conrad.”

After a while, Clarence added, “Keep an eye on Annie Conrad. Probably the breakthrough to bring down Joanna is on her.”

Nathan tentatively asked, “If Miss Conrad steps out of the Conrads’ Mansion, shall we truly...”
