Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 72

In the CEO’s office, Conrad Group…

Clarence opened the Kraft paper envelope and pulled out the documents from it. After a few glances, he tossed them on the tea table.

Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.

Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, all the directors are gone.”

Clarence hummed to answer. Then he added, “Keep an eye on them. Dempsey won’t give up.”

“Yes, Mr. Conrad.”

Now Dempsey’s movements were too obvious. In other words, it had reached the critical moment for them to seize the power. Any unexpected incident would change the ultimate result of this matter.

As soon as Nathan walked out of the office, the manager of the security department rushed over, “Excuse me, Nathan. Something happened.”

“What’s wrong?”

The manager pulled out his phone and showed Nathan a clip of the surveillance video.

It was filmed by a camera outside the entrance of Conrad Group, which was far away from the entrance but with a wide-angle lens. Although they couldn’t recognize the people’s faces, Nathan recognized Stella’s outfit with a single glimpse as well as Jeffrey, who had been wandering about downstairs several times with his bandaged head.

Nathan couldn’t care too much. Grabbed the phone, he rushed back into the CEO’s office.

Clarence looked up impatiently. When he was about to speak, Nathan said hurriedly, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad was taken away by Jeffrey Radomil.”

Clarence’s face went cold instantly. He stood up and strode outward of his office, “When did it happen?”

“Ten minutes ago.”

“Send our men to look for them. Go check on the places Jeffrey Radomil often goes to. One by one!” Clarence tightened his chin, his voice arctic cold, “Especially Twilight Club. If anyone sees Jeffrey Radomil, keep him in control.”

...

Jeffrey took Stella to an underground casino. He sealed her mouth with the adhesive tape and tied up her hands with cloth strips. He said, “My good girl, don’t blame me. You are the more ruthless one. If you didn’t deceive me to meet Adolph Miller, I wouldn’t be beaten up by them so violently. I was almost dead. But, rest assured, I’m not so heartless as you. I’ve found you a good man.”

When Jeffrey got off the car, Adolph was waiting for him there.

The latter asked, “Have you brought the money?”

Jeffrey rubbed his hands and said cheekily, “Sure. Sure.”

As he spoke, he glanced over in the car, “There it is.”

Adolph looked in the direction following his gaze. Through the window, he saw a pair of pretty and cold eyes.

Jeffrey said, “Are you satisfied? My daughter is worth more than a million, isn’t she?”

Adolph said with a frown, “You are playing such a trick again.”

“Again? This is my daughter. Shouldn’t she pay my debt for me?” Jeffrey approached him and covered his face with one hand. He whispered, “Don’t worry. I’ve contacted the buyer. He’s in the hotel nearby. When he gives me the money later, I’ll give it back to you. I won’t repudiate your debt.”

Adolph lit up a smoke, “This is the first time I’ve met such a father like you. If you declared that she’s your daughter, I’m afraid nobody would believe it.”

Jeffrey rolled his eyes and answered quickly, “What are you talking about? She has my blood in her body. Why couldn't she be my daughter? She wasn’t so lucky to be born in a family, but instead, she was born as my daughter. It’s her destiny.”

Adolph looked away, snorting.

Soon, Jeffrey received a call. The buyer he contacted had arrived at the hotel, asking him to take Stella over.

Jeffrey answered while nodding and bowing. After hanging up the phone, he said to Adolph again, “Look. I’ll have the money soon. If you help me take her in, I’ll spare another one hundred thousand to you.”

“Save it. I’m not interested to take such immoral money.”

Jeffrey didn’t care at all, “I give you such a chance for the sake that we’ve known each other over two years. Forget it if you don’t want.”

He opened the door of the car and dragged Stella out, “Come one, good girl.”

Stella stared at him expressionlessly, her eyes full of coldness.

After they were gone far, Adolph withdrew his gaze, grounding out the cigarette butt with the sole of his shoe.

He just felt that Stella was way too unlucky to have Jeffrey as her father.

Arriving at the gate of the hotel, Jeffrey noticed that Stella was quiet without making any fuss. He felt less uneasy. He also didn’t think she looked quite decent in such a status, so he tore off the adhesive tape from her face.

As a cunning man, Jeffrey was afraid that Stella would run away, so he didn’t untie the cloth strings that were used to tie her hands up.

Much to his surprise, when they entered the lobby of the hotel, Stella, who was always quiet, suddenly asked the receptionist for help, which startled Jeffrey. Immediately, he dragged Stella back and explained with a smile, “She’s my daughter. She’s mentally ill.”

Jeffrey warned Stella while whispering in her ear, “Stop playing those tricks. You won’t be able to escape tonight no matter what. Behave yourself. If you pissed them off, I don’t think they wouldn’t have any mercy on you like me, your father.”

The receptionist’s eyes that showed it was not her business had made Stella give up totally. The hotel was opened right opposite the underground casino. Obviously, the hotel staff had already seen enough underground transactions.

Upon hearing Jeffrey’s threaten, Stella sneered, “Have you truly treated me as your daughter?”

“My daughter, I don’t have other ways to do. You should blame Clarence Conrad for this matter. He’s so rich. He won’t be harmed if he spares me another million, will he? How wonderful if he could be so generous as he used to be before. Nothing would happen today.”

Stella frowned, “When did he give you money?”

“Two months ago. You were not willing to give me any money, so I asked him for it.” As he answered, Jeffrey snorted disdainfully, “He asked me to leave you alone at that time. I thought he likes you so much, but it seems I was wrong.”

Stella was a bit taken aback. Clarence had never told her such a matter before...

The wretched man always did things tit-for-tat. She wondered why he hadn’t mentioned this to her.

As speaking to Stella, Jeffrey had taken her to the door of the room, where two men in suits were standing.

Jeffrey pushed Stella forward, “I’ve brought her here. Where’s the money?”

One of the men tossed a bank card to him.

Jeffrey frowned unhappily, “Treat me politely. Probably I’ll become the father-in-law of your boss in the future.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

With the card in his hand, Jeffrey said to Stella, “My daughter, don’t worry. Half of the money belongs to you as well. You’ll not be aggrieved.”

Stella closed her eyes and didn’t want to look at him at all.

Jeffrey was gone. One of the men pushed her into the room.

With both her hands tied up, Stella staggered. She raised her head and looked around the room.

It was an erotic room for people to kill time. The room was lit up with bright purple lights, which made her feel dizzy.

It seemed their boss wasn’t in the room.

Stella suddenly felt like vomiting. She rushed to the bathroom and retched to the toilet. She didn’t puke anything out.

Stella looked around and found the landline in the room. Immediately, she dialed the emergency number. However, when she just dialed the number, the phone line was pulled out by someone.
