Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 126

As soon as the incident happened, Horace went to find the employees of SG Jewelry Magazine and confirmed with them that there were no problems with the jewelry when they delivered them here. Then he directly requested the hotel for the surveillance.

However, the person who set up Stella was fully prepared. The other party knew that there was surveillance in the hotel, so before entering the area covered by the monitor, they disguised themselves as the employees of Jason Group and requested to enter the exhibition hall for the final confirmation. Since they had arrived at the hotel, the employees of SG Jewelry Magazine didn’t suspect and let them in.

That was when the other party secretly changed Stella’s end product.

The other party must have guessed that they had everything in control. However, since they had done something, there would always be a trace.

The surveillance showed that one man passed the jewelry to another man, who wasn’t shown on the monitor. However, it was obvious that Stella was set up.

After informing the attendees about what he had seen on the surveillance, Horace added, “Besides, Ms. Radomil is a friend of mine for a long time. She’s not that kind of person in those rumors. For those who slandered Ms. Radomil and spread the rumors, Jason Group will pursue legal responsibility on them.”

The attendees never expected that the incident would turn to be that way.

Nobody expected that an unknown designer from SG Jewelry Magazine would be a friend of the son of the Jason family.

In the crowd, with a livid face, George rushed away in anger.

The farce finally ended.

Horace walked to Stella, “Stella, let me drive you home.”

Stella parted her lips. She said, “Horace, you don’t have to do that for me.”

Horace said, “In the past, I didn’t protect you well, so I’ve lost you forever. Now, I’m just doing something that I can.”

Stella didn’t know what to speak. Suddenly, she recalled something and looked around, “Where’s Annie Conrad?”

Theoretically, since Horace was making the clarification for her, Annie shouldn’t be so quiet.

“My men are watching her now. Please don’t worry. She won’t make trouble for you again,” said Horace, “Let’s go. Let me walk you out.”

Stella nodded. In such a situation, she couldn’t go out alone.

She followed Horace to turned away, completely ignoring the indifferent gaze on her from the corner.

After they were gone, Phoebe said, “I didn’t expect that Ms. Radomil knew Horace Jason. I asked her to design a wedding gift for Annie. What a coincidence!”

Clarence cast her a glance expressionlessly.

With a smile, Phoebe met his eyes, “What’s wrong?”

“You are far better at acting than I’ve imagined.”

Phoebe paused a bit and knew that he was referring to what had happened in the lounge. She curled up her lips into a smile and said, “Of course, I need to be professional when acting. If it’s too fake, others would find the truth out.”

Clarence snorted and didn’t comment.

Phoebe added, “Clarence, I wasn’t acting only. What I said was serious. Please consider our marriage.”

Clarence raised his head and gulped down the champagne in the flute of his hand. Then he put the flute aside, “The show is over. I’m leaving.”

Looking at his receding figure, Phoebe gradually put away her smile.

...

In a lounge, Annie was making a scene by smashing the door.

“You assholes! How dare you lock me up here! Believe it or not! I’ll kill you. Let me out. Hurry up!”

She kept yelling such things for twenty minutes. Someone answered outside, “Miss Conrad, Mr. Jason asked us to do so. After he has time, he will come to pick you up. Please wait for a moment.”

“Let me out now! Do you hear me? If my aunt knows that you’ve locked me up here, you all will be doomed!”

Right then, Phoebe appeared at the door. She said to the men who were guarding the door and said, “Everything is over. Just let her out.”

The two men exchanged glances with each other and didn’t answer.

Phoebe added, “Horace Jason has left. If you don’t believe me, you can call him to ask.”

The two men didn’t dare to suspect. Hurriedly, they opened the door.

Annie came out. When she was about to blow up, Phoebe stopped her, “They just listened to Horace Jason’s order. What’s the use if you vent your anger on them?”

As she spoke, she looked back at the two men, “You can leave now.”

“Thanks, Miss Steward.”

“Thank you, Miss Steward.”

The two rushed away.

Annie stomped in anger, “What about me? You just let them go so easily!”

Phoebe said, “I didn’t mean to let go of them easily, but you must know why you’ve locked up by Horace in here. You should know your target. Don’t waste your time.”

“My target? What target?”

Phoebe answered indifferently, “I don’t know either. Since Horace locked you up here, there must be something that he didn’t want you to see.”

Upon hearing it, Annie instantly understood. Deep hatred surged into her brain. She gritted her teeth fiercely, “It must be because of Stella Radomil again! All because of that bitch! Whenever she showed up, Horace only cared about her. I’ll never let her go!”

...

When Stella and Horace arrived downstairs, Sherry happened to arrive.

“Stella, are you...”

Stella hinted at her to hold on for a moment. Then she said to Horace, “You can stop here now. Thank you for what you’ve done for me today.”

Horace pressed his lips, “Stella, you never have to mention that to me.”

After finishing his words, he nodded at Sherry and turned away.

There was still a mess upstairs for him to deal with.

Looking at Horace’s receding figure, Sherry couldn’t help being confused. She asked in a soft and excited tone, “What happened? Why are you with Horace?”

“Something happened on the charity banquet...” Since it was quite complicated, Stella couldn’t tell her clearly right away, “I can tell you the details later.”

Sherry nodded, “After you went upstairs, have you met Clarence Conrad?”

Upon hearing it, Stella was taken aback and answered, “Yes, I have.”

“Then, did he...”

Sherry wanted to ask her if she had seen Clarence being with another woman. However, if she didn’t see the woman, Sherry’s question might break her heart again.

Stella didn’t notice that she wanted to say something but stopped. With a smile, she said, “By the way, I got gossip to share with you. Clarence Conrad should get married soon.”

Sherry was shocked, “That soon!”

“Probably. You also know his fiancee.” Stella paused before continuing, “It’s Miss Steward, who asked me to design a necklace for her friend.”

In the photos that Sherry received earlier, she only saw the woman’s back, so Sherry couldn’t recognize her. Upon hearing Stella’s words, she was agape, “No way! How could this be possible?”

Sherry suddenly was enlightened of something. She asked, “Then, Annie Conrad is the best friend of hers who will get married soon, isn’t she?”
