Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 860: Someone Behind It

At the Steward Group.

Clarence strode towards the elevator and said, “Tell Donald Shawn to see Channing and send
someone to the hospital to ensure Chassell Barret is alive.”

Nathan Lance was following him and he just kept nodding.

Standing before the elevator, Clarence said in a cold voice, “Most importantly, all relevant information
online should be blocked. Don’t let any videos, photos come out. I don’t want Stella to know it.”

Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, before Channing called you, the thing has already gone viral online. It
happened during the lunchtime and a lot pf people witnessed it on spot. They had taken a lot of videos
which are now widely spread online ...”

It’s really difficult to prevent people from knowing it.

Clarence said in a low voice, “Do it at any cost.”

The moment he received the call from Channing, he knew something was wrong.

Chassell might be the only man who was able to provoke Channing to commit a crime.

Therefore, after the call to the police office, he instantly sent Nathan to get the information of Chassell.

And apparently, he had managed to get out of the jail.

On the way to the police office, Clarence sat on the back seat with a cold face, while Nathan was busy
in dealing with the information online and giving phone calls.

But the thing just came in such an overwhelming way. It made its way to the twitter trends for several
times before it was removed instantly.



Nathan turned back to say, “Mr. Conrad, I had just received an analysis. It says apart from normal
internet users, there is also someone behind who kept putting the thing under the spotlight. So …”

It just kept receiving more and more public attention on the Internet.

Clarence opened his eyes and said in a calm voice, “Who do you think is behind it?”

Nathan fell into silence. He knew the answer, but he dared not reply.

It had just happened and they had informed all major media to block relevant information.

But the situation kept going worse.

There must be someone behind it.

And given that the one behind it knew it was Clarence who was trying to block any relevant information,
he kept polarizing the discussion online. So, it must be someone as wealthy and powerful as Clarence.

And he was against Clarence, obviously.

Therefore, in City N, there was only one possibility.

Clarence said, “Stella has mentioned a name. You approach her and give her all the documents
regarding the New Coast Project to her.”

Nathan said with his eyes wide open, “Mr. Conrad ...”

“Before you gave those materials to her, you should make it clear whether she dares to make it public
or not. If she dares not, we will find someone else.”

Nathan still got much to say. But seeing Clarence closed his eyes again, he could only remain silent.



They had not made enough preparation for the case of the project. And they had not collected enough
crucial evidence for it.

He knew Clarence would never start a war without preparation.

If the situation got worse, the other side may shift the blame to them.

Now it’s a real life-or-death problem.

When Clarence arrived the police office, he saw Winnie also waiting there.

Clarence looked and said, “Where is Channing?”

Winnie’s face was quite pale. She felt as if she could collapse at any moment. She said in a hoarse
voice, “He is still in the interrogation room.”

Clarence turned to her, “Has Chassell Barret ever tried to approach you?”

Winnie shook her head before she nodded. She finally opened her mouth worriedly, “He has never
approached me. But in the morning, he sent a few photos to me and asked me to meet him. I thought
he was just trying to threaten me for money. But when I arrived the place he mentioned, he was not
there. And then I felt I was trapped and got to Channing’s college.”

Clarence asked, “What photos?”

Suddenly Winnie’s face became paler. Her lips quivered but she did not utter a single sound. She felt
cold all over her body, and as though her blood were frozen.

Clarence looked away, “You should know that Channing has met Chassell for several times. But then
he only gave him a few punches. Maybe those photos can explain why this time he beat him to death.”



Although she knew that since Chassell had used those photos to threaten her, he must had shown
them to Channing, Winnie was still taken aback by Clarence’s words. She felt as though she were
immersed in freezing water and as if she were taken by the throat and thus became breathless.

Soon, Donald Shawn came.

Noticing Clarence’s presence, he was intended to tell some jokes. But the depressive atmosphere in
the hall made him remain silent.

The situation seemed to be worse than he had imagined.

Donald coughed to break the silence, “You looked quite concerned. Don’t bother. I will get in to have a
talk with him. At least we can know what happened.”

Clarence agreed and walked directly into the chief’s office to discuss with him the bail of Channing.

While in the interrogation room, Channing confessed the crime he committed.

But no matter how the police officer asked him why he would beat Chassell, he just kept silent.

And Donald also failed to get any relevant information from the police man as he came here.

In the interrogation room, Donald sat opposite to Channing and said, “Do you remember me? My name
is Donald Shawn. And I’m also your lawyer now.”

Channing looked at him and nodded slightly.

Donald said again, “Can you tell me why you beat him?”

Channing remained silent.



Donald continued, “You need to tell me what happened so that I could defend you. You really want to
go into the prison? You should think of Stella. And Winnie is also waiting for you outside. I can guess
what kind of relationship between you and her is.”

Donald continued, “Don’t worry. I am your lawyer and our conversation will be kept secret. Even Mr.
Conrad would not know what we said to each other. That’s my duty as a lawyer.”

Channing bit his lips softly.

Then after quite a while, he finally said, “I want an ashtray and a lighter.”

Donald nodded and walked out to fetch the things he asked.

Before Donald gave cigarette to him, Channing had already taken out a stack of photos and had them
burnt without letting Donald see them.

Donald frowned. He could only see the back of those photos. Before he could say anything, Channing
opened his mouth, “Chassell Barret is Winnie’s ex-boyfriend. He used those photos to threaten and
humiliate me. So, I couldn’t refrain myself from beating him.”

Donald stood up promptly, only to see the last photo get burnt. He was hence seized by a sudden
sense of anxiety, “So the photos ... Do you know that the photos can serve as crucial evidence in court
to win the lawsuit?”

Channing said, “So what?”

He lowered his head and put on a sneer on his face, “So you want me to hand those photos over to the
prosecutor or the judge for the freedom of myself?”

Donald was silent.



He was indeed a determined boy.

Maybe that’s why Clarence looked so worried. It must be a case difficult to handle.
