Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 373: You Did Do Something Bad to Me

When Stella returned to the Steward family, Phoebe was reading a magazine in the living room.

Stella asked the maid directly, “Where is Mr. Steward?”

The maid looked at her, then looked at Phoebe. She stammered for half a day, refusing to speak.

Phoebe did not raise her head and was casually flipping through the magazine in front of her. She said
indifferently, “Why do you want to look for my father?”

Stella was furious at the moment and talked to her in a bad tone, “This is between him and me. Is there
anything to do with you?”

After hearing those words, Stella was stunned for a moment and frowned. She raised her eyes to look
at her and snorted, “It’s true to say that you are rude.”

“Ms. Steward can go and do some skin treatment when you are free. I’m not in the mood to talk
pedantically with you. Does Ms. Steward think that it’s okay for me to send out the video in the club?”

As expected, Phoebe’s face instantly turned pale.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly said, “Master Steward is in the study room.”

Stella did not say any more nonsense to her. She directly withdrew her gaze and walked towards the
study room.

Phoebe got up, looked at her back, and threw the magazine heavily into the dustbin.

In the study room, Charles was flipping through the contract when the door was suddenly opened.

He looked over and said lightly, “Due to courtesy, shouldn’t you knock on the door first?”



Stella laughed and said coldly, “Mr. Steward went to look for my brother and didn’t tell me beforehand,
respect is a mutual thing.”

Hearing her words, Charles was not surprised. He closed the contract, “I went to look for him for your
good sake.”

“I don’t see what’s so good about it.”

Charles leaned back in his seat, clasped his hands together, and said indifferently, “You said you were
Miranda’s daughter, I’ll believe you for now. Looking at Miranda’s relics, I won’t do any investigation.
But if everything you say is true, your brother is the one who has brought the Steward family into
disrepute, I am just reminding him of this fact so that he will have the self-awareness to stay away from
you. If this is not for your good sake, what is it for?”

Even though Stella knew that Charles would not say anything good when he went to look for Chan, she
merely thought that he would make use of Jeffrey to hurt Chan. She never expected that he would
actually say these words!

Stella pursed her lips tightly, “He is my brother, this is a fact that no one can change.”

Charles said, “In this world, there are always trade-offs. Since you choose to enjoy glory and wealth, I
will give you everything that belongs to you. However, you have to make the payoff, that’s to stay away
from those people that will hold you back. It doesn’t matter if you don’t care. Now that you’re in the
Steward family, everything that you do represents everything that the Steward family does, so it’s
important to think thoroughly before you do it.”

Stella snorted, “I don’t know that I’m so powerful.”

“That’s the truth, you shall be well aware of that from the moment you step through the doors of the
Steward family. There are countless pairs of eyes that are watching you.”



“Since Mr. Steward cares so much about the Steward family’s face, instead of wasting time on me, why
don’t you discipline Ms. Steward?”

“I have my plans for Phoebe.” Charles added, “Phoebe grows up in a different environment from you,
she has her own sense of propriety and will never do a thing that will make other people take
advantage of her. In comparison, I don’t need to worry too much.”

Stella calmed down, “From what Mr. Steward said, you think that there is nothing that Ms. Steward has
done that cannot be exposed to the public, right?”

Hearing those words, Charles narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Stella continued, “Mr. Steward should know very well that what I want is very simple, but if someone I
care about gets hurt, I’ll fight desperately. I have nothing to lose anyway, so I have nothing to be afraid
of.”

After saying that, Stella did not stay any longer but turned around to leave.

Behind her, Charles’ face gradually turned cold.

When she came back to her room, Stella counter locked the door, put down her things and lay on the
bed.

It was clear that she did not do anything, but she felt exhausted.

Not long after, the mobile phone in her pocket rang.

Stella took it out and saw that it was Clarence calling. She let out a breath and picked up.

Clarence’s voice came, “Have you arrived?”

“Arrived a while ago, where are you guys?”



“Just arrived.”

Stella wanted to ask Clarence where he had taken Chan but swallowed the words back as they came
to her mouth.

Even though she did not ask, Clarence knew what she was thinking and said in a light voice, “At the
Starry Lake Mansion, he’s given a floor.”

Stella was speechless.

Clarence said, “The main bedroom is my room, you had slept in the guest room before, so he can only
sleep on the floor.”

“You are very ...”

“Well, these are not things you shall worry about.” Clarence said, “Did you look for Charles?”

Stella responded with a sullen hmm.

Clarence said again, “What did he say?”

Stella whispered, “Didn’t you say that he won’t say anything good?”

“Yes. But your brother’s problem is not small. He is young and impetuous. He is being taken advantage
of because of two or three provocative words. Stella, I know that he’s important to you, but you have to
be clear about one thing, you’re not always there to protect him.”

Hearing what he had said about Chan, Stella could not help but frowned and retorted, “Where is his
impetuous personality? Chan is much more mature and understanding than any other child of his age.”

“He beat me up the first time he met me. That was not considered impetuous?”



Stella knew that the wretched man was still holding a grudge, she slowly said, “That’s what he thought,
no ... that’s because you did do something wrong to me.”

Speaking of this, Stella was silent again.

Chan was so impulsive because he wanted to stand up for her every time.

Whether it was the incident that he beat Clarence or he wanted to kill Jeffrey today.

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone, “It’s getting late, let’s hit the sack now”

Stella knew that he did not want to bring up the divorce issue.

Before hanging up the phone, Stella suddenly remembered something and said again, “Right, if you ...
are convenient, help me find Adolph.”

Clarence frowned unhappily, “Why do you want to look for him?”

“He was there today, chasing after Jeffrey, and I’m afraid ...” Stella said, “If you don't want to find him,
forget about it, I’ll figure a solution out myself.”

Clarence was speechless.

Did he say he did not want to look for him?

Stella said, “Okay, let’s hang up, I’m going to take a shower.”

Clarence licked his lips and said slowly, “Who stipulates that you have to hang up the phone during
shower?”

“I stipulate it!!!”



After saying that, she directly hung up the phone.

Stella really did not know what was going on in his head every day.
