Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

They were about midway through the supper when Winnie received a call. She excused herself and walked to the balcony to answer it.

Elaine looked at her walk away and asked Stella quietly, “Is Winnie alright? That scoundrel…”

She was interrupted by a nudge. Elaine was surprised and glared at who was nudging her.

Channing looked at her nonchalantly and asked, “What?”

Elaine received the message not to probe further and continued to eat.

Stella said, “It’s okay, it’s all resolved.”

At this point, Winnie finished the call and came back. The atmosphere at the table seemed weird and she asked, “What… happened?”

Sherry clenched her fist and asked, “Is that bastard troubling you again? He is really unscrupulous!”

Winnie looked towards Channing and said, “He should not show up from today onwards.”

Stella continued, “Nathan had settled it.”

Winnie nodded, “Yes, it’s okay. Let’s continue.”

Sherry wanted to say something but noticed Stella’s side glance. She then looked towards Channing and kept her peace.

Winnie tried to change the topic and said to Stella, “I heard that Mr. Conrad spent a large sum to buy a ring. Is that the one on your finger?”

Sherry also said, “No wonder, I noticed that just now. It’s magnificent! Stella, can I have a look?”

Stella nodded, removed the ring and handed it to her.

Sherry marveled at it, “It’s so beautiful! How much is it?”

Winnie told her the number and Sherry was dumbfounded. Suddenly she felt that what she was holding weighed a ton and she didn't dare to hold it any longer.

Sherry quickly returned the ring to Stella and tsked, “Mr. Conrad is filthy rich! It’s almost thirty million dollars! I have never seen something so valuable in my life!”
