Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 385: Told Me What You Wanted

Sherry sat on the couch to consider Daniel’s suggestion for quite some time. She looked down the
ground and sat still.

Daniel was standing in front of her. He thought Sherry fell asleep at some point.

Daniel said carefully, “Maybe…you can try putting that bat down. It’s quite scary.”

Sherry held onto the bat even tighter after hearing Daniel’s suggestion.

Daniel cleared his throat and took a step back.

After a while, Sherry asked, “The enemy you were saying. Are you talking about Charles?”

Daniel nodded.

Sherry questioned, “Phoebe and you…”

Daniel explained, “It was just a show. I have my reason to get close to her. She knew it, and she was
using me as well.”

Sherry asked after a while, “A show… Just like what we’re doing?”

“It’s not the same thing,” Daniel said, “We are doing this for justice. It’s different.”

Sherry replied, “I see.”

After a few minutes, Daniel asked, “So, what do you think about my suggestion?”

Sherry wanted to confirm with Daniel, “Are you sure that they won’t harm Stella if I agreed to put on an
act with you?”



“At least they couldn’t find a reason from me to threaten her. I’ll think of something if they try to find a
reason from other aspects.”

Sherry frowned, “Who…are you? No, I meant, why did you come here?”

Daniel smiled, “I’ll tell you after our ‘act’.”

…

When Stella got back to the Steward manor, she felt like the manor was covering in a depressing aura.
All the maids avoided her, just like how they treated her when she first arrived in the manor.

When Stella walked into the living room, a maid came over, “Ms. Radomil, Mr. Steward asked for you in
his study room.”

The maid quickly left Stella after she finished her sentence. She didn’t even wait for Stella to answer.

Stella stood still for a few seconds, then headed to Charles’ study room.

Stella knocked on the door and asked, “Mr. Steward, is there anything I can help you with?”

Charles raised his head from the pile of documents in front of him, “Sit.”

Stella pouted and sat in front of Charles.

Charles pushed a document to Stella. Stella took a glance and saw it was a Bill of Indictment accusing
Phoebe.

Stella smiled, “This is?”

Charles didn’t answer her question, but instead, he said, “I knew you had conflicts with Phoebe
because of Clarence, but no matter what, it’s an internal matter between the Steward family. You



shouldn’t make it a big deal.”

Stella said, “I don’t understand what you’re saying, Mr. Steward. I wasn’t the one who got accused in
that Bill of Indictment. What does it have to do with me?”

“You are the reason why these started. You are going to clarify that the accusations in the Bill of
Indictment are false. That should make the bill of indictment a useless piece of paper.”

Stella now knew what Charles wanted. In fact, it was easy for Charles to handle a person like Bernice.
However, Stella was involved in the case.

Charles knew many people were looking at Stella and him. He didn’t dare to take the risk. That was
why Charles wanted Stella to tell the people that Bernice’s accusations were false.

As soon as Stella denied the accusations, it meant Bernice was lying. Then, Charles was going to do
his tricks and made Bernice a liar who tried to blackmail them.

Well, that was a pretty good plan.

Stella said, “I’ve asked you before, Mr. Steward. Do you really think everything Ms. Steward did is
exposable to the public? I always thought I am a victim in the case. I’ve never had the apologies I was
supposed to have. So, why should I clarify for you?”

Charles told Stella, “Everything you said is resolvable in private. You have the responsibility to protect
the reputation of the Steward family since you’re one of us now.”

“Don’t flatter me, Mr. Steward. I stayed in the Steward manor, but I’ve never enjoyed any perks as a
Steward. Why should I carry the responsibility then?”

Stella was hard to convince. Charles squinted his eyes, and his expression became serious.



After a while, Charles said, “Tell me what you want.”

Stella chuckled, “You’re so generous, Mr. Steward.”

Stella took out the Equity Transfer Agreement she brought with her all the time and put it in front of
Charles.

Charles quickly told Stella, “This is what I promised you. If this is what you wanted, I will sign these
right away.”

“No,” Stella said, “I wanted to let you know that I would rather have something practical than holding
shares of the Steward Group.”

Charles frowned. He had a bad feeling about what Stella will say, “What do you want then?”

Stella pointed out a few locations, “I want these lands.”

Charles raised his voice, “That’s impossible.”

All the lands Stella wanted was precious and expensive. Some of the lands were in the developing
process by the Steward Group. If he gave the lands to Stella, it indicated that Stella will be the person
that had the most say and rights in the projects.

Stella smiled, “It’s fine if you don’t agree with my conditions. I’m only telling you what I wanted. I’ve
done my calculation. All these lands were only one-third of the Steward Group’s assets. I think I
deserve those.”

“Don’t talk big. You won’t know how to use the lands if I give it to you. You are going to ruin the Steward
Group in the long run.”



“Don’t worry, Mr. Steward. I know I didn’t know anything about running a business. All I wanted was a
few pieces of land. I won’t involve myself in any of the projects. All I care about was the money.”

Charles was dead silent after hearing what Stella said.

What Stella offered was to cash out the share. If all she wanted was the share, Charles knew how to
keep Stella at bay, but the lands she wanted was something so solid that once she got them, they’ll be
under her name. If anything happened to the Steward Group and they needed to cash out the land or
do anything about the projects on the land, they’ll need Stella’s permission and signature to proceed.

How could Charles agree to such a condition?

Stella wasn’t in a hurry either. She slowly said, “Well, I’ll leave you here to consider my suggestion.
Don’t rush. Take your time.”

The person who was in a hurry was the person who got accused.

Stella stood up and left the study room once she finished what she had to say.

Charles looked even sulkier when he looked at the Equity Transfer Agreement in front of him.

When Stella was about to go into her room, Phoebe’s voice rose behind her.

Stella turned around, “What’s the matter, Ms. Steward?”

Phoebe said coldly, “You’re the one who did this, aren’t you?”

Stella smiled after hearing what Phoebe said, “If it helps to make you feel better, I’m fine with it. But…”

“What?”
