Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 518: It Seems That We Have Been Fooled

Donald’s last words sounded obedient and flattering and also made Dempsey look good.

Since the words had been said to this point, if he was still not allowed to go up, the Conrad family
would be deemed diffident.

Dempsey withdrew his cane and said irritably, “Get lost immediately after taking a look.”

“Thank you, Master Conrad.”

After Donald finished his words, he immediately ran up the stairs.

He searched room by room from the second floor to the third floor.

Meanwhile, he also had to make sure that no one secretly moved Stella to the room he had searched
before.

After a while, there was only one room left.

When Donald was about to go in, the maid came forward to stop him, “Mr. Shawn, this is Mrs. Conrad’s
room. You can’t go in.”

Donald smiled, “I’m not going in, I’ll just take a look at the door, I’m looking for someone.”

“Even so, you still can’t do that.”

Donald touched his eyebrows and did not speak for a moment.

Being a junior, it was indeed not appropriate for him to barge into a female elder’s bedroom.

If Stella was inside there, it was still fine. But if she was not inside, not having to wait for the members
of the Conrad family to fix him, his father would break his legs after he went back home.



However, he was sure that Stella must be in the house of the Conrad family now. This was already the
last room.

Donald gritted his teeth. He did not care anymore and chose to try his luck.

Just when Donald was about to go in, the door of the bedroom was opened. Joanna who was wearing
a nightgown looked at him coldly, “What are you doing.”

“Mrs. Conrad…”

“Will you give it a rest, you surprisingly come to my place to find someone?”

Donald smiled bitterly, “I have no choice.”

Joanna said, “I really didn’t realize before that the upbringing of the Shawn family is actually so
outstanding.”

“You can just scold me…”

“I don’t have the time to scold you.” Joanna was with her arms folded, “But since you’ve come here to
find her, if I don’t let you take a look, I believe you won’t give up.”

As Joanna said, she stepped aside.

When Donald saw this and was about to go in, Joanna’s voice slowly sounded, “Could it be that you
really want to visit my room? If she’s really here, can’t she hear you when you call her?”

Donald twitched his lips, “You’re right, I’m too rude.”

As he said, he increased the volume, “Then I won’t disturb you anymore, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll
come to apologize to you personally two days later.”



After he finished, he deliberately dawdled outside the door for a few seconds while paying attention to
the situation inside.

Joanna stared at him coldly and did not say anything as if she was wondering how long he intended to
stay here.

Donald withdrew his gaze and met her eyes. He smiled apologetically and could only leave upon
seeing that he really could not dawdle anymore.

After he left, Joanna glanced at the maid outside and the maid followed her.

In the room.

Stella was sitting on the sofa and Justin was opposite her.

Ten minutes ago.

When she had just thrown the things down, Justin appeared in the room.

During the whole process, he only said a sentence to her, “Stella, trust me once, I’ll never hurt you.”

So, when Donald came to look for her, she did not make a sound.

Not only because that Donald could not take her away by himself, but she wanted to know what exactly
the reason that they spent so much effort was and even persuaded Justin to act and bring her here.

She also understood what Donald’s words meant just now. They would come back to find her again.

It was temporarily safe for her to stay here.

Joanna walked in, looked at Stella and snorted, “It’s good that you know how to behave yourself.”



Justin said, “It’s very late, you should rest, I’ll send Stella to her room.”

“Just ask the maid to do so, why do you have to do it personally.”

“I just want to do what I can do. Otherwise, I’ll really be a cripple who can’t do anything.”

Joanna did not say anything more and just turned sideways.

Stella had now regained a majority of her strength. She directly followed Justin and left.

When they reached the second floor, Justin turned the door handle of the room and said gently, “This is
Clare’s room. You can stay here for the time being.”

As he said, he controlled the wheelchair to move forward, entered the room and switched on the light.

“Although he hasn’t come back to stay for a long time, the room is cleaned every day.”

Stella said, “I’ve done what you said. Could you tell me now what exactly you guys are doing.”

Justin turned to look at her and let out a silent sigh, “Have a seat first.”

…

Just after Donald left the house of the Conrad family, he received a call from Vincent.

Vincent said, “Stella didn’t go back, she must still be at the house of the Conrad family.”

“I know.”

“Don’t tell me that you’ve already left?”



“What else can I do, I’ve searched every room in the house of the Conrad family. If my father knows
what I have done tonight, he will certainly kick me out of the house.”

Vincent was speechless.

Donald said, “What about Clarence’s side, did you manage to contact him?”

“No, but I just got the news that he will renegotiate the terms with the other party tonight and I don’t
know how is the negotiation going now. There is a time zone difference overseas so I can’t contact him
and the speed we get the news will be much slower.”

Donald frowned, “It seems that we’ve been fooled.”

“What?”

“Regarding the matter that Justin is injured, on the surface, it looks like the Conrad family is trying to
make everyone aware of his existence but in fact, he’s just a bait.” He narrowed his eyes, “A bait that
was deliberately thrown to us.”

Vincent kept silent for a while, “Without the cooperation of that person, this absolutely can’t be
accomplished.”

“Justin.”

“Yeah.”

Donald’s fingers tapped on the steering wheel, “Based on the attitude of all members of the Conrad
family, they no longer care about reputation. It’s fine as long as they can cover up the lie.”

“But I really don’t get why would Justin help them.”

Vincent sighed, “Stella probably had the same doubt as you so she chose to stay.”



The reason why he deliberately shouted so loudly at the door just now was meant to be heard by
Stella.

If she wanted to leave, she could have made just a little sound.

But, she didn’t.

Also, he had searched all the rooms but he still did not see Justin. This only showed that at that time,
Justin was also in the room.

Vincent said, “Contact Clarence first. Since the matter in London is done by them and they’ve detained
Stella, it’s only possible that they’re trying to get him to agree to some terms.”

“No matter what, there will be an outcome tonight.”

Vincent gave an um, “You go back first. I’ll send someone to keep an eye on the Conrad family. As long
as Stella is in the house of the Conrad family, we still have other ways.”

“But we shouldn’t just sit still and do nothing.”

“What do you want to do.”

Donald said, “The matter that Stella disappeared after attending the reception of the Conrad family
tonight has to be spread to the public. When the time comes, other than us, there will naturally be
others to ask for an explanation from the members of the Conrad family. They will be capable enough
to make the members of the Conrad family take quite a while to deal with them.”
