Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 743: You Have No Other Choice

At the graveyard, the sky, which was originally clear, was slowly covered by a few dark clouds, and it
darkened instantly.

There was a great sense of oppression as a storm was coming.

Everyone held their breath as they waited for Darnell's answer. It was as if their lives were in his hands.

As they waited with bated breath, Darnell laughed softly, "So I should thank you?"

Caesar pursed his lips, and his eyes, hidden behind the glasses, had a baleful glint.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Caesar had quite a few men with him, but they had just been dealt with by Darnell's men, and most of
them were dead or wounded.

In a situation like this, he had no upper hand at all.

The only reason he was still standing here to negotiate with Darnell was that he still had Elaine in his
hands.

Darnell took a step forward, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Your greatest triumph today is no more
than ruining Grandpa's ashes. But have you checked that it's really his ashes?"

Caesar's face changed, "You tampered with the ashes?"

"You're wrong. There are no ashes at all."

At that moment, Hilbert was helped out from the side by Darnell's mother. Although he was hobbling
with a cane, he still looked in good spirits and would have no problem living for a few more years.



Elaine was exhilarated, "Great-grandpa ..."

Caesar burst into a hysteric laughter, "You put on a good show. Well, well, well, turns out I'm the one
who won't leave here today."

He then looked at Franklin and sneered, "Brother ... I didn't expect that you had set up this trap with
them, and went so far as to use your own daughter as bait ..."

Hilbert sighed, "Caesar, after all this, you still won't turn back?"

"Turn back? Why would I turn back? In all the years I've been banished from the James family, you've
never given me a chance to turn back!" Caesar pulled Elaine over and put the gun to her head, "Fine,
since you've all made it this far, I'll finish this last show with you. Even if I die here today, I have Elaine
to bury with me."

Elaine whimpered in a broken voice, "Uncle ..."

Franklin yelled, "Caesar! You've watched Elaine grow up. You're really gonna kill her?"

Caesar laughed indifferently, "Why should I care about that now that I'm going to die?"

Darnell said, "Let her go and you can leave Riverside City."

Caesar probably didn't expect him to make such an offer straight away, and his eyes narrowed slightly
as if he was evaluating the truth of his words.

Darnell continued, "You don't have any other choice."

A moment later, Caesar said, "Okay."

...



As Caesar took Elaine away, Caesar's men were all cleared out. All of the James family were
completely relieved.

Hilbert said, "I've given you all a fright today, but I'm glad to see that there was no danger. The James
family will not spare this bastard and will definitely give you an explanation. It is getting late, so go
home and get some rest."

Hilbert 's words sound thoughtful but at the same time unquestionable, so even some of the James
family members who had objections stopped talking and left.

Today had been such a fright for anyone that they didn't bother to dwell on the details or the reasons
for it. As for what to do with Caesar, since Hilbert had already said so, they would have to wait and see.

Stella looked at Clarence with confusion and disbelief in her eyes.

Clarence stroke her hair and said softly, "It's over."

Stella asked in a whisper, "Did you know what they were planning in advance?"

Clarence said, "I didn't know until after I got to Riverside City. But no one knew exactly what Caesar
was trying to do."

If he had known that Caesar had prepared the bomb, he would never have brought Stella here.

Stella still didn't quite understand, "But if they just wanted to deal with Caesar, then by using the excuse
of Hilbert's death, they could have lured him back to Riverside City and then had him under control as
soon as he arrived. The situation today where a number of people were injured and Elaine was held
hostage by him could've been avoided. Why ...?"

Clarence looked over, "We'll have to ask them about that."



At that moment, Hilbert came up next to them, "You guys come with me."

In just a moment, all of the James family had left, leaving only Franklin to deal with the aftermath.

Back at the James family, Hilbert said, "I'm sure you all have a lot of questions about what happened
today."

Stella frowned, "Elaine ..."

"Don't worry. With Darnell following, she'll be brought back safely."

Clarence said, "I suppose it was expected that Elaine would be hijacked by Caesar."

Hilbert sat in his chair with his cane in both hands and spoke slowly, "Caesar is not really bad by
nature. He loves Elaine no less than any of us."

Stella actually agreed with his words. If Caesar really wanted to do something to Elaine, with all the
opportunities at City N, he would have done it already.

She said, "So ... Caesar would spare Elaine when he was planning to kill everyone in the James family,
partly because he had a hostage to negotiate with, as he said, and partly because he wanted to keep
Elaine alive. "

Hilbert nodded slowly, "He was not going to hurt Elaine. All he wanted was revenge on the James
family."

"Why exactly?"

Darnell's mother said, "You should have heard that Caesar once had a girlfriend who he had been in
love with for years, but was never accepted by the James family."



Stella said, "I heard a bit about that. As I recall, they finally got the permission from Caesar's father, but
for unknown reasons, Caesar broke up with the woman later. It wasn't long before she was killed in a
car accident."

Clarence said, "There were also rumors that Caesar died in the accident with her."

Hilbert sighed, "It was just an excuse for the James family to keep the family secret. Since then,
Caesar has been banished from the family."

Darnell's mother said, "But in reality, this woman wasn't even Caesar's girlfriend, but his father's lover."

Stella couldn't help but gaped at her, "What?!"

Hilbert said, "Franklin and Caesar's mother died young and their father was so busy at work that both
children were taken care of by me for the most time. Caesar, in particular, was not on good terms with
his father and didn't usually get in touch with him. They only saw each other a few times at family
gatherings, or during the New Year holidays."

"Both children were aware of the presence of other women around their father, but because their
mother was dead, they did not bother about it. It was precisely for this reason that caused the tragedy
later ..."
