Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 364

After getting back to her workshop, before Stella could settle down, one of the female employees scurried to her side and asked mysteriously, “Ms. Radomil, are you busy at the moment?”

“I am not, what’s the matter?”

The girl’s voice became even more hushed, “That handsome guy next door asked me to pass you the word that you have to go see him after you’re back. And he reminded me not to get the word to Sherry.”

“What don’t you want me to hear about?”

The girl jumped at the sudden voice and turned around only to see that Sherry was just inches away. He then laughed dryly, “No—Nothing at all.”

She was done sending her message, so there was no reason for her to stay any longer. She mumbled some excuse before fleeing.

Sherry leaned against the office desk and started to interrogate Stella, “What are you guys talking about just now? You look so secretive like spies.”

Stella smiled, “It’s nothing serious, it’s probably about…”

Daniel had some business with him.

But due to her words last time, it seemed that Daniel was avoiding Sherry purposely. That was probably the reason he didn’t come to see her ever since.

Sherry wasn’t that oblivious as she noticed some employee next door summoning one of their girls just now. She stretched lazily, “I am going to take a nap back there. Come wake me if you need me.”

“Alright.”

After Sherry was gone, Stella put down her things and exited her office.

The next door, Daniel was sitting in front of a piano, and upon Stella’s arrival, he immediately stopped what he was doing and shot a glance at another employee next to him. The latter understood what he meant as he made way to the door.

Stella asked, “What’s the matter?”

Daniel brought down the cover of the piano and began, “Yesterday, did Charles instruct one of the lawyers of the Steward family and pass you an equity transfer letter?”

Stella simply nodded.

It wasn’t that surprising that Daniel could learn of this, since he was keeping a close eye to the Stewards.

“What do you think about it, Ms. Radomil?”

“I have consulted a lawyer today, and he told me it is just a normal equity transfer letter. There isn’t any problem with it.”

Daniel got up, “The more harmless something seems, the more you should worry about.”

Stella said nothing to that. She waited for him to continue.

Daniel continued, “Phoebe has come looking for me before to ask me to investigate about that incident from twenty years ago. From what I hear in her tone, it seemed that she wanted to drag you into this shit storm which is ravaging the Stewards.”

“Me?”

“Stella, if you sign this equity transfer letter, no matter how you put it, you would have formed a connection with the Stewards. It means that if something were to happen to the Stewards, you can’t escape the fire anymore. It’s very likely that you…”

She would be pushed forward as a scapegoat.

Stella wasn’t surprised that Daniel reached this conclusion. After all, this was all orchestrated by Charles, and it was not the first time he was doing something like this.

Daniel added, “Therefore, all the more reason you can’t sign this, Ms. Radomil.”

After a moment of silence, Stella finally spoke, “But, if I were to sign it, doesn’t that mean that I would have a say in things in the Steward family? Doesn’t that mean that I can eye through all the projects handled by the Steward family? That would include private matters that only internal circle within the family would know.”

“That might be true, but you are walking on a tight rope here.”

Upon hearing that, Stella smiled, “Even if it’s dangerous, someone still have to do it.”

Daniel froze, “Ms. Radomil, do you mean that…”

“I will think through this again. If I signed this equity transfer letter and it would bring me more good than harm, then why not?”

She had infiltrated the Stewards for a while now, but she still couldn’t get her hand on any useful evidence. Perhaps this would be a great opportunity for her.

It was her chance to rise from the ashes after getting pushed to the brink of death.

Daniel’s lips fluttered slightly, signalling that he still had something to say, but at that moment Stella’s phone rang. She eyed the caller’s name and then announced, “Thank you for your goodwill, Daniel. I will think this through carefully. I won’t act rash.”

After saying that, Stella nodded slightly in his direction before turning around to leavev.

Daniel took a step forward, wanting to give chase but the employee standing by outside hurried in and whispered by his ears, “There are people keeping an eye closely.”

Daniel hesitated a little but he said nothing. He returned to the shop and through the reflection of the window he spotted a black Jetta. When the people sitting in the car saw Stella emerge from the shop, the car slowly revved up and left.

He couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t expect Charles to find out about him so soon.

After getting back to her office, Stella called the person who had missed called her.

Very soon, a magnetic baritone sounded at the other end, “Are you busy?”

“Not so. In the middle of something just now.”

Clarence spoke again, “I heard that you have gone looking for Donald.”

“Yes, he offered to help me take care of the divorce proceedings.”

Clarence stayed silent for a while.

In a faraway office, Donald suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He couldn’t help but sneeze.

After a moment of silence, Clarence continued, “What time are you leaving work tonight?”

Stella glanced at her draft and answered, “I can’t be sure of that now. I have to see how my work goes.”

“I will have a meeting later. I will come by when it ends. If the time allows, wait for me. Understand?”

Stella answered in a monotonous voice, “I got it.”

After hanging up, she turned on her computer again and made sure she was in the right frame of mind before continuing her design.

Although she had ten days to revise it, but it was already the third day today, and she still had lots of details to touch up on his initial draft.

…

At the same time, in the Steward family.

After Charles listened to his subordinate’s report, he snickered coldly, “I’ve long known that he has an ulterior motive.”

Although they couldn’t hear what Daniel and Stella had talked about, but seeing that it was right after he had passed the contract to Stella, it must have something to do with that. Someone couldn’t very well sit still.

It couldn’t be just a coincidence.

As for Daniel, he couldn’t find anything about his background information.

Normally, he was a musician who was having a tour in City N a while ago. After his concert had ended, it had been so long, but there was no sign of him leaving yet. Instead, he had appeared at places where he shouldn’t be from time to time.

Charles suddenly asked, “You said that he used to stay next to Stella?”

“That’s right. It was just before his tour.”

Charles knitted his brows, “If he was just having a tour, why did he have to rent a unit? Or else, that tour of his was just a cover-up.”

“Master, he is very close to Emmett from Star Ferry Technology. Do you want me to look into him further?”

Charles replied without emotion, “No need for that.”

Even without any investigation, he knew that Emmett’s father was also Cameron’s student.

Daniel, Emmett, Cameron, Stella.

Only one thing could connect the four of them.

Charles narrowed his eyes and a grim look appeared in them. Since many people were starting to make their move, it must be because of that incident from twenty years ago.

The only thing he wasn’t sure was about the extent of their knowledge about that incident.

Putting it in another way, besides them, were there anyone else who was targeting him because of that same motive?

In the end, this might present itself as a good opportunity for him to catch them once and for all.
