Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 59

After getting two million from Clarence, Jeffery enjoyed a happy life. With the carefully combed hair, he enjoyed others’ flattery, becoming extremely arrogant and confident.

Right then, someone told Sherry a method to increase the money based on what he currently had.

Jeffrey was never satisfied with only two million. After getting an idea with infinite prospects, he immediately invested all his money. However, he was still a few hundreds of thousands short. He went to find some usurers, inviting them to invest in such an opportunity with him together.

Obviously, it was a trap. After getting his money, the other party ran away. Now, the usurers all came to Jeffrey for money.

Jeffrey received the news ahead, so he managed to hide from them. Those usurers got to know that his son was working in a grocery store, so they headed to Channing.

Of course, Channing wouldn’t give money to them. They went to him with bad intentions. Finally, they got into a fight.

Upon hearing what had happened, Stella felt that her temples twitch continuously. No matter she had been having a bad hunch recently...

Channing saw her keep in silence. He said with a frown, “Stella, please don’t mind this business. No matter he’s alive or dead, it has nothing to do with us.”

“My little fellow, I don’t agree with you. It’s perfectly justified to pay off your debts. How can you ignore this matter?”

Suddenly, a man’s voice chimed in. When Stella turned around, she subconsciously tightened her grip on Channing’s arm.

This man was exactly the man who broke into their house three years ago. He pressed Channing’s hand and asked Stella to make a choice.

Channing also recognized him. Emanating the arctic cold, he wanted to rush to the man. However, Stella pulled him to stop.

Adolph Miller looked at Stella and smiled. “What a coincidence! Nice to see you guys again.”

Stella pressed her lips tightly without speaking.

Channing stood in front of Stella protectively with a cold look on his face. “If you want money, go ahead to find Jeffrey Radomil.”

“Gee. No wonder my men got into a fight. It turned out to be Jeffrey Radomil’s son. You’ve grown so tall after three years.” As he spoke, Adolph turned to the gangsters and said, “Come take a look. He was ranked as the first in the college entrance exam in our province. Get some lucks from him.”

The group of gangsters burst into laughter.

Since it was so noisy, the police noticed. One of them came over. “Be quiet! Where do you think you are right now?”

Adolph raised his hand and waved, hinting at his men to quiet down. “Sir, please don’t be mad. We met a straight-A student here. We’re congratulating him.”

Adolph had been a usurer for many years, and he had criminal records in different police stations. The policeman cast him a glance and warned him, “Speak properly. You’d better talk nice.”

“Okay. Okay. It’s all because of our private matters. We can resolve it in private. Please don’t bother.”

At this moment, Stella suddenly said, “I want to sue them.”

When others looked over at her, she repeated, “I want to sue the men who had hit my brother.”

Adolph pulled a long face. When he was about to speak, Stella said to him, “You just want the money, don’t you? I can give it to you. But they have beaten my brother. I can’t let go of them so easily.”

Adolph put a smile back on his face. “Of course. I agree. Those are different matters.”

Those gangsters always made trouble everywhere, so they had been used to getting into the detention house.

Adolph asked again, “When can I get the money?”

“In three days. I need some time to collect it.”

“Okay. You are quite straightforward. That’s a deal, then.”

Channing pulled Stella. “You can’t give it to him!”

Stella whispered, “Chan, please don’t mind this business anymore.”

Adolph looked over at Channing and clicked his tongue. “My little fellow, your sister is more decisive than you are. If I were you, I would rather break my hand instead of letting her...”

Bang!

Channing threw a punch at him fiercely.

All the gangsters immediately stood up behind Adolph, who waved at them to calm them down. Then he rubbed his face and added, “Why are you so excited? This straight-A student used to be a coward who dared only to hide behind his sister. I just let him vent his anger. It’s nothing.”

Stella pulled Channing again. She said calmly, “Chan, let’s go.”

Chan’s new semester would start next week, so she didn’t want to make the matter worse.

After walking out of the detention house, Channing didn’t speak with a long face.

Stella hailed a taxi and said to the driver, “Excuse me, Mister. Could you send us to the nearest hospital, please?”

As she said, she turned to Channing. “The wounds on your face needed to be dealt with. You should get an X-ray as well. Let’s see if your body was injured.”

Channing looked out of the window. After a while, he said, “Will you truly give them money?”

Stella smiled. “Am I that fool? I’m not a rich and stupid person. Besides, where can I find so much money?”

Since they had such a huge group of people there if she hadn’t agreed, how could they leave?

Channing loosened his deep frown. “What should we do now?”

It was not a big deal for him. However, those men could find his working place, they would find Stella’s apartment sooner or later.

“Let’s find Jeffrey Radomil first.”

“He has been hiding long ago. Can we find him?”

Jeffrey had been owning a lot of debts everywhere. He had been capable enough to hide. As long as he hid, like the rat in the gutter, others could hardly find him unless he was willing to show up himself.

Stella hummed. “There should always be a method.”

“But...”

“Stop minding this matter. No worry, Chan. I can handle it. Just focus on your study.”

Channing didn’t speak but pulled a long face.

Adolph did make sense - whenever it had something to do with the money, Channing couldn’t do anything. He could only rely on his sister.

However, Channing thought that it was different than three years ago. At least, he had time to figure out what to do.

After a while, he said, “Stella, you can go home first. I can go to the hospital myself.”

Stella was pretty exhausted already, so she didn’t insist.

Channing asked the driver to send Stella home. Then he headed to Twilight Club.

...

Seeing Stella come back, Sherry immediately rushed to her. “How did it go? Is Chan alright?”

“He was injured a bit. I asked him to go to the hospital.”

“What on earth happened?”

Stella exhaled. “Jeffrey Radomil ran away again after owning the usury.”

Upon hearing it, Sherry couldn’t help but curse.

All through her life, she had never seen another man like Jeffrey Radomil. He framed his daughter and son again and again. Sherry never thought that he deserved to be a human, let alone a father.

Sometimes, she wondered if Stella and Channing were two kids picked up by Jeffrey from the street.

Stella said, “Sherry, I’m not very well. I’m going to sleep now.”

Sherry came back to her senses. “Sure. Please go ahead.”

Stella walked into her room. Lying on the bed, she stared at the ceiling, a wave of helplessness spreading all over her body.

Although she told Channing that she could find a way to catch Jeffrey, she was still at a loss until now.

Even if she could find Jeffrey out successfully this time, what about next time? Jeffrey was like a hole without any bottom. His greed could never be fulfilled.

Moreover, after finding him out, Stella wondered if she would watch him be beaten to death without doing anything.
