Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 162: She Would Not Let Go of Her this Time

Annie’s surname was Conrad. If she married into the Jason family and made trouble, the Conrad
family’s dignity and reputation would be damaged.

Obviously, Dempsey wasn’t willing to deal with her trouble in the future.

Annie looked extremely reluctant. She still wanted to retort, but Dempsey stood up while supporting
himself with the walking stick. He said, “Enough. Things have come this far. You should take on certain
responsibilities. It’s also a lesson in your life. Use your brain when speaking and doing things in the
future.”

Instantly, Annie understood that he referred to Stella’s matter.

Stella’s baby died in that car accident. Actually, in the very beginning, Joanna had planned everything.

Firstly, Joanna asked Annie to tell Dempsey that Stella was pregnant and let him take Stella into the
Conrads’ Mansion. Then Joanna continued to carry other plans next...

Probably Dempsey knew the reason behind it, so Annie understood why he was warning her.

Stella’s baby was gone and Dempsey’s hope was gone, too. However, there must be someone to take
the responsibility for it.

Subconsciously, Annie looked over at Joanna, suddenly shivering all over her body.

She wondered if she had been used by Joanna.

Joanna also looked at her, a faint smile appearing on her face, “Annie, it’s alright to call off the
engagement with the Jason family. Let me find you a better husband in the future.”

Since the things had gone this far, Annie could only nod to suppress her anger.



However, she was still unhappy, “Aunt Joanna, Justin, please excuse me. I’m going upstairs.”

Joanna nodded in agreement, “Go ahead.”

After Annie left, Joanna looked over at Justin, “Justin, did you go to see Stella today?”

Justin said, “No matter what, I should.”

“Did she made the engagement between Annie and Horace cancel?”

“That’s what I’ve promised her,” Justin said, “We Conrad family has owed her a lot.”

Joanna sneered, “She should blame herself for marrying Clarence Conrad but nobody else.”

Justin heaved a sigh in silence, “Mom, when will you stop doing those things? Clarence didn’t do
anything wrong.”

“His birth was a mistake. The biggest mistake he has made was to become that woman’s son.”

On the second floor, Annie was eavesdropping their conversation. Slowly, she clenched her fists, her
face full of hatred.

That bitch again! It was again her fault!

This time Annie decided not to let go of her anymore.

...

In the evening, when Stella and Sherry were heading back home, they found the neighbor next door
was busy moving.



The apartment that Stella rented before was way too small, which was only enough for one person to
stay. It was quite crowded if the two wanted to stay together.

Hence, when they were looking for the studio, they also rented an apartment that was nearby the
studio and moved in.

Sherry said in confusion, “Is there an old lady staying next door? Her other family members are all in
the US. Where is she moving to?”

Stella asked the moving staff, but they said that the apartment was already empty when they came
over. They were only in charge of moving and didn’t know anything else.

Arriving home, Sherry lay down on the sofa. She felt extremely exhausted and had no interest in
minding other’s businesses.

Stella poured a glass of water. When she was drinking, Sherry said, “Stella, I heard that Chan posted
the photo on all major newspapers. Do you think it works?”

Stella put down the water glass and smiled, “It doesn’t matter if it works or not. I never expected to find
him.”

“But, why did you...”

“Since Chan got to know that I’m not Jeffrey Radomil’s biological daughter, he always feels guilty to
me.”

Sherry heaved a sigh, “This boy is way too inflexible. What Jeffrey Radomil has done has nothing to do
with him. He wanted to atone for Jeffrey Radomil’s crime... By the way, Jeffrey Radomil is truly not a
human being. Why did your mother marry him in the past?”

Stella said, “It’s a bygone anyway.”



Sherry thought about it and added, “Stella, have you ever thought what you would do if you could truly
find him?”

Upon hearing it, Stella didn’t utter a word.

She indeed never expected to find him truly.

After all, she believed that if the man in the photo wanted to find her, he would have found her already.

He didn’t need to wait until now.

After a while, Stella answered, “Just wait and see. Let nature take its course.”

Two days later.

Stella got a call from Horace.

He said, “Stella, I’m opposite your studio. Could you come out for a second?”

Stella raised her head and looked over - sure enough, she saw the familiar figure.

He was standing in front of a cafe, looking at her from afar.

“I’ll be right there.”

Stella informed the two new hires in the store and walked out of the studio.

In the cafe, Horace pressed his lips and said, “Stella, I might go abroad soon.”

Stella paused a bit, “That’s too sudden.”



Horace nodded, “The Conrad family has called off my engagement to Annie Conrad. I talked to my
parents, and they didn’t force me again. Jason Group was still in a crisis now, but we have certain
markets overseas, so I’ll go to Switzerland and take the branch over there. I wouldn’t be able to come
back in recent years.”

Stella said, “I see. I wish you all the best then, Horace.”

Horace smiled, “Stella, I hope you can always remember me as your friend no matter what happens. If
you need anything or any help, please do let me know. I don’t want to only hear your status from
others. I would feel that I’m a useless man.”

“You’ve truly helped me a lot, Horace.” Stella curled up her lips, “But, since you said so, I won’t be
polite. If I asked you for help in the future, you can’t refuse me, OK?”

When they parted, Horace called her name again, “Stella.”

Stella turned around, “Yes...”

As soon as she spoke, she was hugged by him.

Horace said, “I don’t know when we will meet again after I leave this time. Please do take care of
yourself, Stella.”

Stella said gently, “I will.”

Back to the studio, Sherry asked her, looking quite nosy, “What did you talk about? Has Horace
confessed to you again?”

Stella laughed and said, “What are you talking about?”

She looked out of the window and whispered, “He’s going to Switzerland.”



“What?” Sherry couldn’t help frowning, “Then, when will he come back?”

“He doesn’t know. Jason Group has a branch over there. He would take it over this time.”

Sherry felt quite sorry for them. She thought that since the engagement between Annie and Horace
had been called off, she wanted to match-make Horace and Stella gain.

After a while, Sherry tentatively asked, “Then Horace and you... Can’t you truly be together?”

Stella withdrew her gaze with a faint smile. She shook her head slightly.

In fact, the gap between Horace and her was too huge. Even nothing happened in the past, they might
not be able to be together.
