Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Chapter 40: Nobody Can Control Me

Clarence did not want the child. Seeing that he would lose the bargaining chip to control him, the good thing was that the Jason family which was a lump of big and fat meat was in front of him.

How would he willingly give up this opportunity that was presented to him.

“Uncle!”

Joanna held her hand and comforted, “Annie, don’t be anxious. Things will always have a solution.”

Dempsey also knew Clarence’s personality. The most important thing right now was to bring about the marriage between the Conrad family and the Jason family. So, he could only use a consultative tone when talking to him, “Clarence, Annie is your younger sister no matter what. If you do this, you’re putting her and the Jason family in a bad and awkward situation.”

Clarence said indifferently, “Don’t you know very well that I don’t have a sister.”

Dempsey was livid, “What kind of bullshit are you talking about!”

Joanna spoke at the right time, “Clarence, we don’t owe you anything. You’re the heir of the Conrad Group and what should be given to you has already been given to you. Now, I just want Annie to marry into the Jason family with dignity. This is my only request but you still want to reject it?”

Clarence’s expression remained unchanged. He spoke slowly, “Horace doesn’t like her. How will she have dignity.”

“Feelings are something that can be cultivated slowly. When your father asked you to marry Stella that time, didn’t you also refuse.”

Clarence’s expression became colder. He did not say a word.

He really did not know what did Stella like about Horace. He was with her while talking about marriage with another woman. Did she really like to be abused?

Just when the two parties were at loggerheads and no one was willing to give in, a warm, smiling male voice sounded at the doorway, “I’ve apparently come late, are things finished?”

With the grievance, Annie complained, “Clarence doesn’t agree with my marriage.”

Justin was sitting in a wheelchair while Phoebe was behind him while pushing the wheelchair.

Hearing this, Justin was a bit surprised. He then smiled as if he understood, “Annie, Clarence naturally has his reasons for not agreeing. Don’t be at outs with him here. He had already used much energy to deal with the company matters.”
