Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Stella paused and then asked, “Do you mean that someone deliberately sent her to Riverside?”

Clarence groaned an answer and said slowly, “The members of the James family are so eager to facilitate the marriage between Elaine and Darnell, plus that… Anyway, it’s not that easy for her to leave Riverside. But we coincidentally planned to come back to City N.”

Stella knew what he had omitted.

It was about the James family’s unwritten rule – the James were not allowed to leave Riverside in their lives.

Elaine was the grand-granddaughter of Hilbert and she was under the supervision of various parties. Generally, she wouldn’t step out of Riverside no matter what method she tried.

Stella pondered for a while and then asked, “Are the ones helping Elaine of the same party with the ones colluding with Joanna?”

Clarence shook his head, “Nope. We can cast aside the domestic trifles in the James family, big or small, there are two overwhelming forces in the family for the time being – one belongs to Darnell and the other one is formed by those who oppose Darnell. If those who oppose Darnell want to become the patriarch of the family, they must gain the help of those doyens.”

Stella said, “Elaine’s grand-grandfather is the most prestigious doyen in the James family. Now that they want his help, they won’t hurt Elaine.”

“That’s true. Moreover, Elaine has a good family background. Even Darnell have to consolidate his position as the patriarch of the James family by marrying her, let alone other people. As long as one can marry Elaine, he will get the wholehearted support of her family.”

Stella said, “But she left Riverside and came to City N, even though she will come back later, as long as the news of her leaving Riverside is spread, she would lose all values.”

Clarence curled his lips into a smile, “Bravo.”

Stella somehow figured it out, “So the one who helped her to come to City N was Darnell.”

“Darnell has been opposed to this marriage, but the doyens refused to make any concession. Although marrying Elaine can help him consolidate his position, he will at the same time be checked by those people.”

“Although those doyens appeared to agree to his decision of allowing my mother to come back to the James family, they were discontented with it in private, thinking that Darnell had broken the rules of the James family. Although Hilbert didn’t express any objections, apparently, he was dissatisfied with it either. But what he cares about the most is the position of the patriarch of the James family. So if Darnell agrees to marry Elaine, he can turn a blind eye to it.”

“Nonetheless, he didn’t expect that his grand-granddaughter would also break the rules of the James family.”

Stella said, “This is the reason why Darnell sent Elaine to City N, right?”

“Yes.”

Darnell wanted to abolish the outdated rules of the James family, but he encountered great obstacles.

If taking Dolores home was the first step of his plan, then sending Elaine to City N was the second step of his plan.

Clarence thought Elaine’s family would be so furious at the moment.
