Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

In the car.

Phoebe took over the jewelry box that was handed to her. She opened it and took a casual glance. Then she put it aside.

She asked flatly, “Has Modesty Parker seen you?”

“No. We took it after she tossed it into the garbage can and left.”

Phoebe smiled, “She’s good to play such a rick, but what a pity. She seems not to know Stella’s real identity. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have failed her plan.”

If Stella were just a designer of SG Jewelry Magazine, no matter how many good words Stanford would put on for her today, it would be useless. Her reputation would be ruined and she would be forced to quit this industry.

However, Horace backed her up. Besides...

Phoebe’s eyes turned colder. If she didn’t get it wrong, Clarence went to the VIP lounge also because of this matter.

Soon, the black car arrived at the villa of the Steward family.

Phoebe got off with the jewelry box in her hands. When she was about to go upstairs, she was stopped in the living room, “Phoebe, wait.”

She looked back at the mid-aged man not far away from her, “Dad, haven’t you gone to bed yet?”

Charles Steward nodded, “Come over. I want to ask you something.”

Phoebe sat on the sofa. When Charles looked at her, her hands that were holding the jewelry box were stiffened. She secretly put the box behind her back. With a relaxed smile, she asked, “Dad, what’s up?”

“I heard that you attended the charity banquet with Clarence Conrad tonight?”

She didn’t deny it, “Yes, I did.”

Charles said, “Phoebe, I don’t want you to be dragged into the mere between the Conrad and Jason families. Clarence Conrad is a scheming man. You...”

“Dad,” Phoebe interrupted him, “Although I don’t know Clarence not much, he could make the whole Conrad family afraid of him all by himself, he should have his means. Besides, I’ll marry someone eventually. I believe that if I married Clarence, it would only be beneficial but not harmful for our Steward Group.”

Charles continued after a moment of silence, “Phoebe, I don’t want you to sacrifice your happiness because of it.”

“In fact, I’ve been liking him for a long time. If it weren’t for what happened three years ago... I believe we have got
