Chapter 531: How Do You Know This?

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

After shopping, Stella directly went to the Conrad Group.

When she arrived at the door of the CEO's office, she happened to bump into Nathan who came out of

the office.

Nathan closed the file and greeted, "Ms. Radomil."

Stella asked, "Is Clarence busy?"

"Er... he's not too busy. It's just that the heads of several subsidiaries came to report on the work, and it

will be over in about an hour."

Stella nodded, “Then I will wait for him outside."

Nathan said, "Ms. Radomil, let me take you to the lounge."

"Don’t bother, I know the way. You can go on with your work and I can go by myself."

Nathan did have some work and was anxious to deal with it, so he left after the conversation.

Stella sat in the lounge, and after a while, an assistant poured a glass of water for her.

The sky was completely dark now, and the lights on both sides of the street added some brightness to

the lonely night.

The street lamps were in the same line, giving out bright lights.

Stella waited for two hours, and the door of the lounge was never pushed open again.

It seemed that Clarence hadn’t finished his work yet.

She checked the time, got up and walked to the assistants’ office. She asked one of them, "Have the

heads of the subsidiaries gone?"

The assistant replied, “They left a few minutes ago."

Stella smiled, “Thank you."

Standing at the door of the CEO’s office, Stella reached out and knocked, then opened the door.

In the office, Clarence was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and was making a phone call.

He glanced back at her and motioned to her to wait.

Stella sat on the sofa. Feeling boring, she took out her phone and read randomly.

After a while, Clarence sat next to her, put his arms around her waist, and said in a low voice, "Didn’t

you go shopping?"

"It's finished," Stella said, "Will you finish your work late?"

Clarence said, “It can be over now."

Before Stella could speak, he leaned on her shoulder, “I feel tired."

Stella said, “Would you like me to give you a massage?"

"Don’t bother, just let me hug you for a while."

After a moment of silence, Stella said, "I've heard about what happened today. Clarence..."

"What?"

"Leave Joanna alone."

Clarence tilted his head to look at her, “What do you mean?"

Stella said seriously, “This is a conflict between me and her in nature. Just leave it to me too. In this

case, you and Justin don't have to..."

"What are you thinking about?" Clarence asked, “Stella, this is not just a grudge between you and her.

She harmed you because of me. In other words, I am the cause of this matter, “

"But…"

Clarence interrupted her, “No but. You should just handle the matters related to your studio. Don’t think

of other things.”

Stella gave him a simple answer.

Clarence rubbed her head, his tone softened a little, “Okay, go home."

...

In the Conrad family…

As soon as Jon sat down. Before he could speak, Dempsey said with a gloomy face, “Your efficiency is

so poor, it almost delayed my big business."

Hearing that, Jon was not annoyed. He just smiled, “Chairman Dempsey, you didn't tell me that

Clarence is also in power in London either, and I almost died there and couldn’t see you again."

Holding his crutch, Dempsey snorted coldly, "Don’t I know how capable he is? He doesn’t have any

force in London. I think you were cheated."

Jon raised his eyebrows but didn't answer.

Dempsey didn't seem to want to talk nonsense with him, and said, “Okay, I promised you before and I

won't go back on my words. I will pay all the money you deserve. And you should just come back.”

After giving the eviction order, he got up and prepared to go upstairs.

Jon said, “Chairman Dempsey, don't worry, I have another piece of news. You will be interested."

Dempsey turned to look at him with a calm expression, “You don't have to beat around the bush with

me, just tell me what news you’ve got. You can directly tell me about your conditions. But as for

whether the news is worthy of our negotiation, you’d better think over it in your heart before speaking.

Don’t play tricks with me."

Jon stretched out and clapped his hands with admiration all over his face, “Chairman Dempsey is

awesome. So I will come straight to the point. I heard this piece of news only on the way here. The

person Chairman Dempsey wants to find is now in City N. To be precise, he’s under your nose."

After hearing this, Dempsey sat down again, rubbed the crutch and mediated for a moment before

speaking, "Do you know who I want to find?"

"Well..." Jon smiled at Joanna who was going downstairs, "Naturally, he is a very useful person for

Chairman Dempsey."

Dempsey snorted, “State your terms."

Jon reached out and gestured a number to him.

Dempsey didn't get angry and smiled, “You think I can give you such a reward with this piece of news?

Young people should speak and behave appropriately. Don’t be so greedy. And be careful that you

can't get anything in the end."

"Chairman Dempsey is right. Of course, this piece of news does not worth so much money, but what if I

tell you that have the news about the other person except for the person you are looking for?”

"Who’s that? I want to know whose news is so valuable that you want me to buy the news from you at

such a high price.”

Jon said, “The one who worth so much money, of course, is the heir of the Conrad Group."

Dempsey frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? Clarence, or Justin? Why do I want their

news?"

Jon said, “Naturally it's not about them. It’s a young boy. It’s so young that Chairman Dempsey can

control him at will. He can’t speak yet, nor can he resist anything. He will be your chessman.”

In an instant, Dempsey's expression became more serious, “Go on."

"I only received this piece of news right before I came to the Conrads’ Mansion. I have to say that Mr.

Conrad has taken great pains to keep it a secret under your nose for so long. I guess no one would

believe that the little young master of the Conrad family, who was supposed to die in the dystocia

caused by that car accident, is still alive and healthy. Moreover, he’s now in City N.”

Dempsey looked at him coldly, “How do you know this?"

Jon laughed, “Businessmen always have many sources of information. How about it? Chairman

Dempsey, do you think this piece of news is a worthy one?"

Dempsey didn't speak for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly.

When Stella had a car accident, he didn’t witness the death of the child by himself. Therefore, he also

doubted it before.

It was just that he couldn’t find out anything.

His men had been keeping an eye on Stella's, yet they found that there was indeed no child around

her.

The news that Jon brought was not that unreliable. It was just that it was too dangerous.

The Conrad family indeed had deep roots in City N, no matter in terms of power, social status or

reputation.

But even he couldn't find the news. How could Jon, a British Chinese who just arrived in City N several

days ago, get the news effortlessly?

This of course triggered his doubts about Jon’s background and purpose.
