Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 999: Only You Are Crying Sincerely Here

At the funeral, Elaine saw many uncles and relatives, even Archer. But Darnell didn’t come.

During this period, people kept coming over to offer incense to Mr. James.

But Elaine didn’t see the slightest sadness on their faces.

All of them looked relaxed. Some of them even gathered together in group, chatting with a smile.

Elaine stood there with her head down. Tears kept on dropping.

After a while, her father has gone to somewhere else.

Just then, someone approached her.

Hearing footsteps, Elaine looked up suddenly.

Archer was taken back by her reaction, “Why are you so excited to see me?”

Elaine remained silent and handed her the incense from the side.

Archer took it and said as she lit it, “Don’t cry please. I was by his side when great grandpa died. He
didn’t suffer and died peacefully.”

He put the incense in the stove, bowed three times to the portrait, and continued, “The old man is
almost a hundred years old. He is no monster. He has lived to this age, which has exceeded the life
span of many normal people.”

Elaine said dissatisfiedly, “How can you compare him with monster!”

“Yes, yes, I can go through anything.” Archer stood beside her and sighed, “Actually, I sometimes envy
you. You have such a pure and grace soul. You are the only one who truly mourn for the old master at



this dangerous and false funeral.”

Elaine didn’t quite understand, “What do you mean?”

Archer patted her on the shoulder, “It’s nothing, you won’t understand. After the funeral, go back to
Switzerland. And don’t stay here for too long.”

As soon as Archer finished speaking, someone walked over.

Before Elaine could continue to ask anything, the upcoming person had already stood in front of her
and said with a smile, “Elaine, do you remember me?”

Elaine looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her. She had no impression about her at all. Elaine could
only smile awkwardly.

The middle-aged woman said again, “You should call me aunt. This is my son. He is not much older
than you.”

Elaine greeted them obediently, “Auntie, cousin.”

The middle-aged woman said, “You don’t need to call cousin? You two are about the same age, just
call him by the name.”

Elaine twitched the corner of her mouths, not wanting to speak.

But the middle-aged woman kept talking to her about all the gossips.

Until there were too many people behind them, she eventually gave up.

Seeing her left with her son, Elaine was relieved.

But she never expected that this was just the beginning.



Throughout the day, countless unfamiliar middle-aged women brought their sons over to greet Elaine.

Among these, there were people from the James family, and there were people from other family.

But all of them came with the same purpose.

When the funeral was over, Elaine sat tiredly on the ground, massaging her sore calf.

At this time, Franklin finally came back. Seeing her sat on the ground, he came to hold her up, “Elaine,
why are you sitting on the ground? What are you doing?”

Elaine said tiredly, “Dad, I’m so tired...”

Franklin sighed silently, “I’ll take you back.”

Elaine said, “Dad, are you looking for a new marriage?”

Franklin’s face turned cold, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

“Then why are there so many unfamiliar aunties came to chat with me today. And all of them are so
enthusiastic tome.”

Franklin, “…”

He helped Elaine out, “Don’t worry about them, Dad will send you back to Switzerland tomorrow.”

Elaine stopped and turned to look at him, “I don’t want to go back.”

Franklin ignored her.

Elaine took his arm, “Dad, what happened to the James family? Why didn’t Darnell come to Grandpa’s
funeral today? Can you tell me, please? I don’t want to be like a fool with no information in my mind…



I...”

“Elaine.” Franklin lowered his voice and glanced around. After confirming that there was no outsider, he
whispered “Don’t mention this name at home in the future, and don’t go to him secretly without my
permission.”

“Why?”

Franklin said, “Did you see these people came to the funeral today?”

Elaine nodded blankly.

Franklin continued, “They all want Darnell to die. Vice versa, Darnell will not let them go.”

Elaine’s eyes widened. She didn’t understand why things turned out like this. Weren’t they at peace
before?

Those people were dissatisfied with Darnell in private. But...but...

Elaine suddenly thought of something and looked up at Franklin, “They came to the funeral today, but
Darnell didn’t come. Does this mean that, Dad, you are on the same side as them?”

Franklin didn’t answer. And that’s acquiesced.

Elaine repeated reluctantly, “Why?”

“Elaine, many choices in this world were made for no reason. People will always be inclined to the side
that can bring more benefits to themselves.”

“But Dad, Darnell, he will never hurt you. Didn’t he say before that as long as the grandfather is still
alive, he will never...”



Franklin sighed, “Elaine, you also said, that the premise is that your great-grandfather is alive. Darnell
has been thinking about knock out the James family for a long time. Think about it, why these people
can unite together overnight and share the same hatred? Because they have all been suppressed by
Darnell. When your great-grandfather was alive, we could remain neutral. But since your great-
grandfather is gone. No matter Darnell or those people, they all regard us as the biggest trouble. Either
we were taken down by them or we join them, you understand?”

“I understand, I understand… But Daddy, just trust me, Darnell he...”

Franklin stroked her head, “Elaine, Dad knows what you mean. Dad didn’t want to tell you this, but you
have to understand the current situation. The reason why James family is afraid of Darnell, was not
because that he is the master of the James family now, but because his ambition was even over the
Riverside City.”

Elaine stood there, stunned.

Franklin continued, “Elaine, Dad also knows you love him, but staying by his side will always be
dangerous. He can protect you once or twice, but he can’t protect you forever. It will be safer if you stay
in Switzerland.”

After a long while, Elaine said, “Then I’m going to Switzerland. What about you, Dad?”

“As long as you’re safe, what else can they do to me?”

Elaine’s eyes were flushed. “You lied! You are sending me to Switzerland because you can’t defeat
Darnell. Dad, what are you trying to do?”

Franklin didn’t speak but coughed twice.



He was now in the same side with the James family. Even if they lose in the end, they won’t bother
Elaine in Switzerland.

As for Darnell, he was the one most unlikely to bother her.
