Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

In the Conrad Group…

Vincent James pushed open the door of the office and said while walking into the office, “Nathan told me that

you’re looking for me for some matters.”

Sitting in front of the office desk, Clarence said without even looking up, “Wait for a minute.”

Vincent sat down on the sofa in repose with his eyes closed.

Both Clarence and Vincent hadn’t had a good rest over the past few days.

Ten minutes later, Clarence walked towards him and sat down, “I remember that you’re from Riverside City.”

Vincent slowly opened his eyes when he heard the words, “Yes. What’s the matter?”

Clarence asked, “How much do you know about the James family?”

Vincent was stunned as he didn’t expect him to ask this question. He then replied, “Why do you suddenly…”

“This matter probably has something to do with that family in Riverside City.”

“Do you mean the matter that the baby was taken back to the Conrad family?” Vincent knitted his brows, “I think it

doesn’t make sense. What’s the reason for the James family to do this?”

Clarence said faintly, “No matter whether this matter was planned by them or not, based on the current situation,

it’s safe to say that the James family must have something to do with it.”

Vincent asked after a short while of silence, “What do you want to know?”

“Everything you know.”

Vincent said slowly, “The James family has lived in Riverside City for generations. Along with the family’s

development and expansion, some of its descendants engaged in commerce, some of them engaged in police and

some became soldiers. The family gradually became the biggest family in Riverside and became incomparable

both in wealth and power.”

“However, the James family has an unwritten rule: the descendants of the family are not allowed to leave Riverside

lifetime. If one chooses to leave the city, it will be regarded as cutting the ties with the James family and that

person is not allowed to step into Riverside again. The James family will not care about it no matter that person will

live happily or die miserably.”

“But the family was so big that it gradually developed many branches along with its history and the kinship was

therefore weakened. As they didn’t take the rule seriously, that unwritten rule was gradually forgotten. However, I

heard that the lineal descendants of the James family are still abiding by that rule.” Vincent added.

Clarence just looked at him silently.

Vincent was bewildered.

He explained, “Don’t think too much. I’m not a member of the James family. My parents went to City N and settled

here many years ago and I don’t have any relatives or friends in Riverside. It’s meaningless for me to come back to

the city.”

Clarence slowly tapped his knees with his fingers, “Go on.”

“Where were we just now? Oh…Bancroft James, the patriarch of the James family, had passed away. The one

taking charge of the family now is Darnell James, Bancroft’s grandson. I haven’t seen him, but there have been

many rumors about Darnell over the years. Anyway… Don’t provoke him if it’s unnecessary.”

Clarence asked, “Is that all?”

Vincent threw up his hand, “That’s all.”

At the next moment, he continued, “To be honest, although I haven’t seen Darnell before, I’m sure that this matter

must have nothing to do with the James family. Riverside is far away from City N and Darnell won’t provoke you and

seek troubles for himself.”

Right at this moment, Maxwell walked into the office. “Mr. Conrad, he confessed everything. Ms. Anderson and Little

Noah are in the backyard of the Conrads’ Mansion.”

…

In the hospital…

Although Sherry was very scared, she had made up her mind.

Sitting on a chair with her eyes closed, she grabbed Stella’s hand tightly.

The TV next to them was playing the report of a piece of news.

“Early in this morning, someone found a woman’s dead body under the bridge. According to the investigation, the

victim’s surname is Byron and she died at 15:19 yesterday. This case is still under investigation and we will report

the follow-up later. Now let’s come to the next news…”

After a short while, a nurse called Sherry’s name, “Sherry Perry.”

Sherry subconsciously stood up.

The nurse said, “Follow me, please. I will lead you to have the examination.”

Sherry took a deep breath and then stepped forward.

Stella grabbed her hand, “Sherry…”

Sherry smiled and comforted her, though she was the one who needed consolation the most, “It’s okay. It’s just a

small operation and it will be finished in a blink of the eye.”

Stella felt it hard to force a smile.

When Sherry left the room, Stella took out her phone to check the time.

She sent a message to Daniel before coming to the hospital, telling him that Sherry came to the hospital and asked

him to make the decision. He should come here if he wanted to keep the child, of course, he didn't have to come

here if he didn’t want the child.

Now it seemed that Sherry’s hunch was true.

Daniel would probably not game.

Stella heaved a sigh. When she prepared to put her phone back into her pocket, a piece of news suddenly popped

out.

It was about a murder case.

Stella pressed her temples. She didn’t know why there were many frenzied and cruel people in this world.

Sherry finished the examination soon and the result should the indicators were all normal, which meant she could

have an operation.

Stella sent her to the operation room. She didn’t know what she should say.

Sherry, on the contrary, felt much relieved when being sent here. “They said it will be done soon. Stella, just wait

for me outside and I will go out soon. Let’s have a hot pot tonight.”

Stella’s eyes became red. She smiled bitterly and complaint, “Are you a fool. You’re not allowed to eat that.”

“Alas, what a pity. I have a good appetite now.”

The nurse urged her, “Please come in.”

Sherry replied, “Okay.”

She waved at Stella, “Wait for me on the bench. See you later.”

When Sherry was sent into the operation room, Stella lowered her head and heaved a long sigh.

Stella turned around. When she prepared to go out to buy some water, she noticed a person was hopping around in

the hall.

Stella quickly walked over, “Daniel.”

Daniel turned around, panting, “Where’s Sherry.”

Stella pointed at the operation room, “There.”

Daniel immediately ran towards the room.

Stella hurriedly followed him.

When Daniel ran to the operation room, he found the door had been closed.

Daniel banged the door, “Sherry! Sherry Perry, who allowed you to come here? Go out!”

The noise caused many people’s attention and they surrounded Daniel to watch the show.

A nurse walked over, “What are you doing? Don’t you know you’re in the hospital?”

Daniel slightly pressed his thin lips together and his whole body tensed up.

Stella said, “Don’t be so anxious. She was just sent into the room and the operation probably hasn’t started.”

She turned around to look at the nurse, “My friend is in the operation room. Can you please let her come out?”

Seeing that Daniel would not give up easily and fearing that he would continue to make a fuss, the nurse replied, “I

will go in and ask about her opinion.”

“Thank you.”

The nurse came out two minutes later, “The patient sent into the room just now has finished the operation.”

Stella asked in astonishment, “But she was just sent into the operation room five minutes ago…”

“I don’t know. Anyway, the operation has been done.”

Daniel murmured to himself, “It’s my bad. If I have made up my mind early, this would not happen.”

The onlookers discussed in whispers. In their eyes, this was a typical show of a playboy’s regret and it was quite

interesting and worthy to watch it.
