Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

This night, apart from Stella, no one almost stayed up the whole night.

At half-past seven in the morning, the Conrad Group finally posted a statement based on the various questions

throughout the Internet.

The statement made an apology to the partner companies and the public. And it declared that these loopholes

resulted from negligence that existed in the early stage of the project. The Group will rectify the situation and give

everyone an explanation as soon as possible.

Everyone grasped the key point of this statement.

"The project was in its early stage."

As it's known, this project was founded by Clarence.

The statement simply put all the blame on Clarence, and they had nothing to do with the problems. And the Conrad

Group was trying to fix it.

In other words, the Conrad Group was tidying up Clarence's mess.

Although it was an early morning, the online discussion of this matter had gone viral. Several media sites quickly

uploaded a report, which was soon reposted onto those major social websites.

Justin sat in the car, witnessing the number of comments skyrocketing up in a few minutes on the phone. His brows

creased into a smile.

His assistant's voice came from the front, "Mr. Conrad, the hospital is heavily guarded these days. They even

searched the doctors going in and out. We can't do anything."

Justin remained composure, busy browsing one new article after another. He lightly said, "Isn't he still in the

intensive care unit? We still have time."

Justin continued as he put away the phone. "After today's news, do you think Clarence still cares about him?"

The assistant gave a simple nod. "I will take care of it as soon as possible."

Justin made a short reply and looked out the window. "When will we get there?"

"Ten minutes," The assistant replied to him, "Our men are guarding the landing field, but Clarence hasn't shown up

yet."

Justin gave a dry laugh. He put the phone against his jaw and said pitifully. "Honestly, I didn't expect it to happen so

fast. Well, I will miss the fake brotherhood between us."

The assistant raised his voice several notches. "He owed you for this. Now it's time to pay you back. I believe that

the old lady would be very pleased to see this if she were here."

Justin did not say anything, but a wide smile faded away on his face, replaced by the icy stare.

Soon, the car stopped outside the landing field.

Clarence's car arrived almost at the same time as they did.

It was Seven fifty-five.

The assistant wheeled Justin out of the car. He sat in a wheelchair, watching Clarence supporting Stella, and spoke

with a smile, "Clarence, Stella, what a small world."

Clarence slowly turned around, and when he saw Justin, he did not look surprised.

Stella followed Clarence out of the car, but she wore a mask, a thick knitted cap, and a scarf wrapping her neck.

Other than a pair of eyes, Stella was fully geared. It was almost impossible to recognize her.

Clarence stood in front of her.

Justin smiled slightly, "I heard that you were planning to send Stella away from City N. I'm afraid that I won't see her

again, so I especially come to see her off."

There wasn't any emotion in Clarence's eyes. "Why won't we meet each other? Oh, only if you're dead."

The assistant behind Justin frowned upon Clarence and wanted to move forward, but Justin waved him to back off.

Justin said, "Well, you might be right. You know, I'm getting worse. Maybe I will sleep and never wake up one day."

Clarence said lightly, "So, anything else?"

Justin paused and glanced at Stella behind him. He suddenly said, "Well, just out of curiosity, what happened to

Stella?"

"Well, you know, she is a fragile pregnant woman now."

A look of inward illumination came into Justin's eyes, and he said, "Oh, that's why I saw Winnie in the trending topic

a few days ago."

Clarence said, "You mind if I take Stella to go?"

"Clarence," Justin called him, "I saw the news that Stella's brother had trouble. Has it been done? Do you need my

help?"

Clarence said in a frosty tone, "We're fine."

He wanted to leave with Stella as soon as possible.

Justin stopped him, "How about this? I know you want to send Stella to a quiet place. I know a place in the City N's

suburb. It's a chill and relaxing hot spring resort. Why not send her there?"

Clarence repeated in a cold voice, "We're fine."

Justin furrowed his brows helplessly, "Clarence, I do not mean to stop you, but … you might see the news about the

Conrad Group last night. I just took over the New Coast project, so I get absolutely nowhere looking into it. And now

I have to face such a big bomb. I wonder if you can come back to help me? Maybe we can take care of these

problems together?"

Clarence said, "About the New Coast project, I already asked Nathan to give you all the information before I left. As

for the rest, I can't do anything about it."

Before Justin continued, Clarence added, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you. I'm used to saving copies for almost every

project. If you want to check on the problems, I can have someone deliver the copy to verify with you one by one.

What do you think?"

The smile on Justin's face froze, his hands clasped together, and he fell into silence.

The sunrise of early winter was later than the summer. The day was slightly breaking at eight o'clock.

The ferocious winds were roaring past the landing field. It was deadly quiet that only the rustling sound of the

leaves in the breeze could be heard.

Clarence gave Justin a blank stare. "I thought we were square if I gave you the Conrad Group. But now, it seems

you want more than this."

Justin kept a smile on his face. "I'm a cripple. What am I going to do with the Conrad Group?"

"So, what do you want? My life?"

Justin heaved a sigh and said, "Clarence, we shouldn't have talked like this."

Clarence gave a bitter smile, "Then what should I say? Should I thank you for what you've done?"

"I helped you find the truth you've been looking for and even found your family. Isn't that good?"

Clarence's eyes flared as he walked towards Justin. He raised his voice. "You could have just told me this …"

Clarence walked up to, grabbed his collar, and glared at him. He ripped off Justin's hypocrisy by his words. "You

should not play dirty and put it on a child who is only a few months old."
