Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Francis was waiting for them when Clarence and Stella arrived at the Steward Group.

Francis walked forward and greeted, “Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil.”

Clarence said, “How’s the situation now?”

“We just found out that the email originated from the Steward Group. Samuel is already looking for the person.”

Clarence said, “No need.”

Francis was puzzled.

Stella explained, “Lyndon is at the Steward Group for so many years. No one is more familiar with the Steward

Group’s layout and network system. Since he knew how to send the email from here, he would also know how to

escape without detection.”

True enough, Samuel found the computer from which the email was sent from but the actual user of the computer

had just come back from his lunch break. He was totally flabbergasted as to what had happened.

Very quickly, the security guards delivered the security footage to Francis’ office.

Soon, they could see the person who came into the Steward group was professional and did not look like Lyndon

Steward. He must be one of Lyndon’s subordinates.

This man never revealed his face during the entire time he was at the Steward Group. He seemed very familiar

getting around the place and was definitely not his first time there.

Samuel said, “What shall we do now? Report to the Police?”

Clarence said, “There is another reason why they chose to send the email from the Steward Group.”

Stella looked confused.

Clarence’s slender fingers tapped gently on the table and said, “That is to tell us that he knows our every

movement.”

Thus, it was not wise for them to contact the police.

Stella mumbled, “Then…”

Clarence said, “Although the man was not Lyndon and this man did not reveal himself, we can still be certain that

Lyndon is now in City N.”

Francis chided in, “Why?”

Clarence took a glance at him, “If you are about to receive fifty billion dollars, would you trust someone else with

the money? Won’t you be around to oversee it?”

“Didn’t he spend a lot of effort to escape from City N? Now that he's back, wouldn’t he be able to escape?”

“Most will think this way and that was why he took the risk to come back. Furthermore…” Clarence paused for a

second before continuing, “He would think that since he managed to escape once, he would be able to escape

again.”

“Now go and contact the major banks and spread the news that the Steward group is mortgaging its assets.”

Stella asked softly, “But based on Lyndon’s somewhat paranoid character, he would not believe it even if we do

these…”

“It’s not important whether he believes or not. He just wants the money.” Clarence said, “Don’t forget, he still has

an assistant. Even if it’s a trap, he would not suffer any loss.”

Stella understood that Lyndon was gambling if they would use fifty billion dollars to exchange for Daniel’s life.

He would get the money if he was successful. If not, then he would remain in the shadows and sacrifice his

assistant.

Samuel said, “I’ll do as you instructed.”

After Samuel left, Clarence looked towards Francis and said, “Check on this man’s history. This isn’t the first time he

came to the Steward Group. There would be records and do a comparison.”

Francis was dumbfounded. A lot of people came and went to the Steward Group. This task would be overwhelming.

Clarence asked, “Any problems?”

“No… no…” Francis answered and hurried out of his office.

Stella frowned and said, “That’s going to be difficult.”

Clarence held on to her hand as they sat on the sofa, “There would be some answers within two hours.”

Stella was surprised, “Within two hours?”

Clarence nodded and then said, “Firstly, this person isn’t someone from the Steward Group.”

“But only staff of the Steward Group would know their way around this place,” Stella said.

“But the risks are too great. All staff of the Steward Group would have their movement tracked and thus it is very

easily traced. Even if they are willing to take the risk because of the potential rewards, Lyndon would not risk it.”

Stella found his reasoning logical but then said, “Then who could it be?”

Clarence grinned, “You will know soon enough.”

Francis shared the same thoughts as Clarence’s and eliminated the staff of Steward Group.

Armand’s men were some idiots incapable of conjure up such a plan. Francis began to focus on the remaining

people.

After an hour, he found someone who he thought was rather familiar but could not remember where he saw him.

He took out the information and asked, “Who is this?”

His assistant said, “This is Christian Atwood, a manager of Bonnie Derrick’s company.

Francis frowned and could not remember who Bonnie and Christian were.

The assistant said softly, “Previously when Armand was exposed for sexual harassment, the supposed victim went

to the police and then said it was Ms. Radomil who instigated her. After this incident, this Christian Atwood and their

entire company disappeared.

Francis then asked, “How many times did they come to the Steward Group?”

“When he was discussing the collaboration details with Armand, he came several times. According to the records,

he alone came five to six times.”

With his records, it was easy for them to find the security footage.

Francis took the image of the person who entered the Steward Group and compared them to the footage.

After looking from various angles, he was certain that the person who sent the email was Christian Atwood.

It took Francis five minutes shy of two hours to report his findings to Clarence.

Stella looked at the materials that Francis brought and frowned even deeper. She had seen this Mr. Atwood when

she was handling Armand’s incident. Her impression of Mr. Atwood was that he was crafty; he played submissive in

front of the tough but play brutal in front of the meek; he looked cunning with his distasteful grin. No matter what,

he did not seem like the type who would help Lyndon to do those dangerous and meticulous matters.

She continued to go through his details and apart from the fake company, the rest of the information was very

simple.

Francis said, “I already checked, the information is all fake.”

Stella closed the folder and said, “Could this Mr. Atwood…. Be Lyndon’s man?” If he was, then he would not

intentionally entrap Armand. Although in the end, they turned it around to blame her, she was not too affected by

the incident. Instead, it was Armand who exposed Lyndon.

How could they shoot their own foot?

Clarence then said, “He was just picking a person to work with. Whoever gave the higher rewards, he would work

with him.”
