Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

In the morning, Sherry wanted to go to the park for a walk. But it was so hot that she went to the shopping mall. It had been a while since she went shopping and now, she had a throbbing need to satisfy her so called material desires. She ended up buying quite a few things before going home.

Once home, Sherry said, “Okay, I’ve bought what I wanted. Now let’s go to the studio this afternoon. I’m curious how Mr. Conrad is like at the studio!”

Stella nodded and stood without speaking a word.

Sherry asked when she noticed Stella’s expression, “Stella, what’s up?”

Stella looked up and said, “Sherry, there’s something I had kept from you.”

Sherry saw that her expression had turned solemn and became nervous, “What… was the half-year report out and the studio had been losing money?”

“No,” Stella replied.

Sherry patted her chest and said, “That’s great. So long as we’re not losing money. Tell me.”

Stella said, “Daniel had been missing for a month.”

Sherry was stunned for a while before saying, “What’s the reason for his disappearance…”

“When we went to London a while back, it wasn’t that my father was sick. He had been assaulted and was hospitalized because of his injuries. Daniel went missing just before his assault. Daniel had discovered the perpetrators and went missing thereafter.”

“Before we came back, Darnell had already found them but according to the information, Daniel had been taken away by Lyndon.”

Sherry asked, “Lyndon Steward?”

Stella gently nodded, “Lyndon had left City N for a while. He is responsible for Daniel’s disappearance and my father’s assault.”

“So now Daniel…”

“Since Lyndon had taken him away, that meant that Daniel was still of use to him. At least… Daniel would not be in danger.”

Sherry sat on the sofa and her face was colorless. After a long while, she said, “Yes… so was he already missing when I couldn’t contact him? It wasn’t that he was too busy at the office or William was sick…”

Stella pursed her lips, “Yes.”
