Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Probably Channing’s gaze was way too cold. The man, Chassell, shivered somehow.

It seemed that Channing could genuinely walk the talk.

Chassell didn’t fear if he and Winnie would be taken to the police station, as it would be Winnie’s reputation to be

ruined, which wouldn’t have any impact on him. However, if this unknown actor would be taken to the police station

with him instead. Chassell would be disgraced.

Scandals with women were good things for him, but fighting was not.

Besides, he was undergoing a vital business negotiation right now.

Chassell tidied his collar up, spit the blood, and sneered. He said fiercely, “I look forward to it!”

After that, he sat in the car next to him.

The security guards saw him leave, so they released Channing. One of them said to Channing, “Young man, you

should talk nicely to others. Don’t be so reckless. You should still be a college student, right? What if he called the

police to arrest you?”

Channing was silent for a few seconds. Then he said, “That jerk was waiting at my girlfriend’s door at midnight. He

wanted to harass her.”

The security guards gaped, “What?”

One of them said in anger, “If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t stop you. You should beat him up!”

“He looks decent. What a beast under a human’s skin!” one echoed.

“What a loser!”

“Beast!”

“Scumbag!”

Channing looked over at them and said, “If you see him next time, could you please inform me?”

The security guards were outraged and said, “Don’t worry, young man. We’re on shifts. We’ll remember his

appearance and will tell other guards tomorrow. He will not be able to enter this community again!”

“Thank you so much.”

“You are welcome. That’s our duty. Don’t you want to call the police?”

Channing explained, “My girlfriend’s work will be impacted if I call the police. I believe he won’t be so arrogant after

tonight. In the future, once you’ve seen him, please inform me.”

On security guard patted him on the shoulder, heaving a sigh, “I got it. For making a living, it’s quite difficult for

your girlfriend as well. How can she have such a boss? She should look for other job opportunities. You are a

responsible man. If I were you, I wouldn’t be so brave.”

Another security guard said, “Okay, young man. You can count on us for your girlfriend’s safety.”

Before Channing left, he gave them his phone number and the cigarettes he bought from the convenience store.

Sitting in the car, he turned around and looked at the community. His eyes darkened.

If it weren’t that he saw Winnie’s lipstick, he dared not to imagine what would happen next.

Chinning gripped the steering wheel more and more tightly. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and dialled

Maxwell’s number.

He briefed Maxwell about what happened just now and asked if he knew who that man was.

Maxwell said, “I guess you are referring to Chassell.”

“Who is he?”

“He’s Winnie’s ex-boyfriend. A few years ago, Winnie just got famous. A lot of men chased after her. Chassell was

one of them. He was the most active one. No woman could resist.”

Channing pressed his lips and asked, “Then?”

“Then... One month after Winnie became his girlfriend, Chassell’s wife exposed their affair. She said Winnie was the

mistress and ruined her family. Chassell and his wife were childhood sweethearts. They got married a long time ago

but live in different cities. Hence, no one in City N knew Chassell had been married already.

“After this scandal, Winnie immediately broke up with him and held a press conference to apologize. However,

Chassell’s wife wasn’t willing to forgive her. She worked with a lot of media agencies to suppress Winnie. During

that period, all the netizens were scolding Winnie. She also stopped working in the entertainment business for a

while. Three years ago, she won different prizes for her role in a movie and began popular again.”

Channing said, “The man tonight is a true scumbag. I know it must be him.”

Maxwell said, “Chassell and his wife are from influential families. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to ban Winnie. I

hope you haven’t offended him.”

“Nothing serious. I just beat him up,” said Channing.

Maxwell was shocked.

“It’s not a big problem, though. I’ll investigate on this matter that he went to find Winnie again. I’ll call you back,” he

said.

“Okay. Thanks.”

...

Winnie was sitting next to the sofa, holding her knees in a daze. After a long while, she finally came back to her

senses.

She picked up the phone and checked the time. It was more than an hour after Channing was gone.

Winnie found his caller ID in her contact list. When she was about to tab to call him, she hesitated. Then she

withdrew and tabbed the chatting box with him. She sent him a message, asking him if he had arrived home.

Channing didn’t reply to her. Winnie put down the phone and walked to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, she unlocked her phone screen again.

Channing replied to her ten minutes earlier, saying he had arrived home.

Sitting on the sofa, Winnie typed some words. After typing a big paragraph, she deleted them all.

She repeatedly did it. Then she lay down on the sofa.

There were still posts online about the previous affair between Chassell and her. Her anti-fans constantly attacked

her with it.

Channing didn’t pay much attention to what happened in the entertainment business. Otherwise, he would have

known it a long time ago.

Winnie didn’t think she could hide it from him.

However, she also didn’t think her explanation would make any sense.

For some reason, she subconsciously didn’t want Channing to know about her lousy past.

Lying prone on the sofa, Winnie heaved a sigh and picked up the phone again.

Winnie: “We’ll shoot for the program again tomorrow. You should sleep early. Good night.”

After sending it to Channing, she walked back to her bedroom and fell on the bed, feeling exhausted.

...

The next morning.

Freya walked into Chassell’s office. Staring at him, she smiled and asked, “Mr. Barret, did you encounter a gangster

when hanging out last night?”

Chassell was annoyed, “It’s my business.”

Freya smiled, “Oops. I’m sorry for that. Let’s continue talking about the cooperation.”

Chassell said, “I’ve looked into Conrad Group’s project of New Coast. It’s not difficult for me to win the cooperation.

In other words, I can do it myself. Why would I have to work with you?”

Freya sat down opposite him, crossed her legs, and lit up a cigarette, “Mr. Barret, it’s indeed not a problem for you

to do that. I also heard you have some tricks when doing business. Clarence Conrad hates such a kind of

businessman the most. Do you think he would let you go once he found what you did secretly?”

“All businessmen have their own tricks. Do you think Clarence Conrad is an innocent man? He has stabilized his CEO

position of Conrad Group and ruined the Conrad family in only a few years.”
