Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

By the river, the night breeze was a little cool and the waves were getting higher.

Elaine stood on the harbor, hijacked by Caesar.

Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse from crying, "Uncle ..."

Caesar lowered his voice and said, "Elaine, I won't hurt you. If they let me go, you can go back safely."

Elaine choked, "But you weren't like this before... Will you come back? Grandpa and Dad won't blame you. You have to stop being so obsessed."

Caesar was a bit of a wreck, but the smile on his face was relaxed, "Elaine, you're still young. When you get older, you'll know that no one in the James family can stand me, including you. Have you ever hated me?"

Elaine said, "That's because you caused Sherry to lose her baby and I ..."

"Right? What's happened has happened, and it can never be changed. I'm not obsessed. They're the ones who have pushed me step by step to where I am now. Don't I want to get on with my life? But who has given me a chance? Did your grandfather give me one? Or did your father give me one? And Sherry, will she ever forgive me?"

Elaine opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

As darkness fell, the lights along the harbor were lit up one by one and illuminated the whole river.

Darnell stood a short distance away with one hand in his trouser pocket and looked indifferent.

Caesar shouted at him, "I don't have time to waste with you here. How long before the boat arrives?"

Darnell glanced at his watch, "Two minutes."

Caesar laughed, "I'm surprised you're teaming up with them. Seems like I've made quite a scene."

Darnell looked at him and said in an unemotional tone, "Don't flatter yourself. You and I both know who's behind you now that you've come back to Riverside City to stir up troubles."

"But so what if you know? In fact, I'm quite curious as to why you've managed to keep your composure when Clarence doesn't deal with him. You think you can atone for Bancroft's wrongdoings by this?"

"It's none of your business."
