Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 119

Time flied.

On the day before the charity party…

When Stella came to SG Jewelry Magazine, she contacted Phoebe, telling her that the product was already finished.

Phoebe said, “I will be busy in the next two days and maybe I will not have time take it. By the way, I heard that SG will take part in the charity party tomorrow night. Ms. Radomil, you’re a jewelry designer of SG, so you will also take part in the activity, right?”

“Yep.”

“Good. Then please give it to me tomorrow.”

The charity party organized by the Jason Group targeted at those rich and powerful people, so Stella wasn’t surprised that Phoebe would also go to the party.

Stella replied, “Okay.”

Phoebe smiled, “Then see you tomorrow night.”

After ending the call, Stella put the customized necklace into her handbag and went to Stanford’s office to hand in the product for the auction of tomorrow’s charity auction.

…

In the Jason family…

Rebecca, who was collecting the jewelries for tomorrow night’s auction, sighed emotionally, “Phoebe, are you really donating these jewelry to the auction. I can’t drag myself away from them.”

Phoebe, who was sitting beside her, said, “Rebecca, I can gift you the ones you like.”

“Oh, I can’t take them. It’s for the charity auction, and I can’t take advantage of you on this matter.” Rebecca out aside the jewelry box and held up Phoebe’s hand, “I heard from Annie that you have a surprise for her. What’s that?”

“Nothing but a present for her wedding.”

Rebecca involuntarily furrowed her brows when she heard the words. She heaved a sigh, “Although the date for their wedding have been decided, I’m not sure whether the wedding can be held successfully or not.”

Phoebe asked, “What’s wrong? I heard that Annie has been behaving herself recently. I guess she won’t make a big trouble.”

“It’s true that she hasn’t made a big trouble. But you’re also clear of Horace’s personality. Although he has agreed to marry Annie, it… it was just a perfunctory agreement. He has no feelings for Annie at all. I will not worry about it if the bride-to-be were the other person who knows about the nature of the marriage between two companies and doesn’t dream of the other things she shouldn’t covet. But Annie is different. She will try all she can to get the things she wants. I’m afraid that…”

“Rebecca,” Phoebe comforted her, “It’s true that Annie doesn’t have a good sense of propriety, but I believe that as long as she doesn’t trample on Horace’s bottom line, they will live in peace with each other.”

Rebecca became more worried when mentioning about this, “By the way, Phoebe, do you know Clarence’s ex-wife?”

Phoebe replied in a soft voice, “I heard something about her before.”

“I haven’t expected that she and Horace were once in love, and she…” Rebecca kept down her voice, “She’s pregnant. Horace said that it’s not his child. But she has divorced Clarence for several months. What do you think who’s the child’s father?”

Phoebe curled her lips into a light smile, “If it’s Clarence’s child, the Conrad family won’t allow the child to be raised outside of the family.”

Rebecca nodded her head, “Yeah, I also think so. They key is that I heard that she was sold to Twilight Club back then and she forced Clarence to marry her by fake pregnancy. Clarence detests her a lot.”

She then sighed, “I really can’t understand Horace.”

Phoebe consoled her, “Let’s stop here, Rebecca. Don’t think too much of it. You’re going to deliver the baby, right?”

“It’s expected to be delivered five days later.”

“Then please take a good rest. You will be very tired on the party tomorrow night.”

Rebecca said, “So do you. You’ve helped me a lot in these days, thank you.”

“You’re welcome. That’s what I should do.”

Not long after Phoebe left the Jason family, she received a phone call from Modesty. She asked with a light smile, “Ms. Parker, what’s the matter?”

Modesty said, “Ms. Steward, I want to ask you whether the necklace I designed before is kept by you or not.”

Phoebe pondered for several seconds and then replied, “Oh, that necklace… I forgot to take it. I will ask my man to take it later.”

There was still silence at the other end of the phone. Modesty then said, “Ms. Steward, I’m so sorry. The necklace is probably lost due to my negligence.”

“It’s lost?”

“Yep. I can take all the losses caused by this. I will return the money to your account in two days, Ms. Steward.”

Phoebe said, “Ms. Parker, you don’t need to do that. I like your works and I hope that we will have cooperation next time.”

They then ended the call.

Sitting on the car and looking out of the window, Phoebe gently tapped her chin, seeming to be thinking of something.

After a short while, she gave an order, “Don’t obstruct Modesty no matter what she wants to do.”

The driver said, “Roger. Should we help her?”

“No need. Just let her do whatever she wants.” Phoebe paused and then added, “Go to the Conrad Group.”

…

In the CEO’s office of Conrad Group…

Fixing his eyes on the invitation letter on the table, Clarence’s face was covered by coldness. No one knew what he was thinking.

Nathan knocked at the door, “Mr. Conrad, Ms. Steward is here.”

Clarence slightly looked up and saw Phoebe showing up at the door. He asked in an indifferent voice, “Any matter?”

Phoebe was annoyed yet at the same time amused, “I rarely come to find you, and this is your attitude towards me?”

“I have such an attitude towards everyone. Spill the beans, I have to deal with my work.”

“Clare.” Phoebe sat down opposite to him and inadvertently saw the invitation letter on the table. She asked, “Are you going to the charity party tomorrow?”

Clarence replied, “It depends on my moods.”

Although the charity party was organized by the Jason family on the surface, the Conrad family also took part in the organization behind the scenes. They were trying to gather those celebrities in the business world by this means, and Conrad could easily guess what Dempsey wanted to do.

Clarence would definitely go to the party.

Phoebe continued, “Clare, I’m clear of what you’re facing in the Conrad family and I want to help you.”

Clarence sneered, “Tell me, what I am facing now?”

“You’re so powerful now and you’re completely out of your father’s control. He wants to dismiss you and find a person who’s easier to be controlled by him to be the CEO of the Conrad Group.”

Clarence replied in a clam voice, “My surname is Conrad too. If he wants to find the other heir simply because I’m out of his control, I have to say this reason is really farfetched.”

“Yeah, this is really farfetched. The outsiders all know that your father scruples about your powers, but no one have ever pondered why he’s afraid that you’ll take control of the Conrad Group.”

Clarence expression gradually pulled a long face and his face was written all over with coldness, “Seems like you know something about it?”

Phoebe smiled. She didn’t point it our bluntly, “As a matter of fact, your father doesn’t have too many men. The reason why the Conrad Group is overwhelmed by turbulence is that Annie is arranged to marry Horace and now the Jason Group is the most powerful weapon for your father.

“It’s for you to make a balance of the situation, that’s to marry me. You know that the Jason family is only powerful on the surface, and it’s by no means a match for my family.”
