In the Conrad Group…
When Clarence just walked out of the meeting room, Nathan hurried walked over and stopped in front
of him, “Mr. Conrad, there’s an accident.”
“Spill the beans.”
“Mrs. Conrad had a car accident ten minutes ago.” Noticing the sudden change of Clarence’s
expression, Nathan hurriedly continued, “It’s not serious as it’s just a rear-end collision. Our men have
sent Mrs. Conrad to the hospital. Mr. Conrad, please rest assured, her life is not threatened.”
Clarence abruptly turned around, walked towards the lift and said in a cold voice, “Have you
investigated that driver?”
“Yes. Seems like it’s a pure accident. They were so cooperative after the accident and now is on the
way to the hospital.”
Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips together and walked into the lift. He didn’t say anything else.
Nathan followed behind him, “I will continue to investigate this.”
Clarence said, “Block the news of her car accident to the public.”
“Okay.”
“If someone dares to do anything at this point of time, it means he or she is the one who planned this.”
Nathan nodded his head, “I understand.”
Half an hour later, Clarence arrived at the hospital.
His subordinate, who had been guarding Stella in the ward, walked out and greeted him, “Mr. Conrad,
the doctor said Mrs. Conrad just suffered a mild concussion and she was temporarily unconscious. She
just needs to stay in the hospital for two days for observation.”
“Where is she?”
“She’s still in the ward.”
Clarence paused and asked in a cold voice, “Where is that driver?”
His subordinate replied, “The police officers came and they are now taking dictations at the door of
Mrs. Conrad’s ward.”
“Lead me there.”
“Okay.”
In the ward, a man said, “Officers, we didn’t mean to hit her. There was a roadblock on the road and we
didn’t notice it either. She braked suddenly. It was so sudden that we couldn’t control our car.”
The other man chimed in, “That’s true. Our car was also seriously broken due to the accident. As for
the maintenance expense, we will claim the insurance and she doesn’t need to compensate for it. How
unlucky!”
The police officer shot a glance at them, “Sounds like you’re the aggrieved party. Why didn’t you pay
attention to the condition on the road when driving? Are you two blind?”
The man retorted, “I have to justify for myself. If it were me who faced today’s situation, I would not step
on the brake so suddenly and this car accident would not happen. But sir, you also know that she’s a
female driver. Female drivers always have poor strain capacity and they easily get flustered when
there’s an emergency…”
“Stop. Cut the craps. How can you shift the blame to that female driver? Do you know how to keep a
safe distance when driving? According to the surveillance videos and the braking marks, you two are
fully responsible.”
“Well, after all, both parties are responsible for this. We will accept it no matter what the punishment is.
Can we leave now?”
The police officer said, “Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until she wakes up.”
The two men exchanged a glance and remained silent.
Right at this moment, there came a string of footsteps as Clarence walked towards them.
Seeing him, the two men immediately lowered their heads.
When he walked closer, the police officer asked, “Are you her family?”
Clarence stopped, “I’m her husband.”
“Well, we were taking dictations just now. When she wakes up, she also needs to take dictations. You
can go in to have a look at her.”
Clarence replied with a nasal sound. Before entering the wards, he glanced over the two men who
were trying their best to reduce their sense of presence and then took a glance at Nathan. Then he
walked into the ward in strides.
Nathan took a step forward and said, “Hello, I want to learn about the details of the car accident.”
The police officer pointed at one of the men, “You please. Restate the situation. I warn you, don’t talk
about nonsense.”
…
In the ward…
Lying on the bed with gauze around her forehead, Stella breathed evenly and quietly.
Clarence sat beside her and held up her warm hand. Clarence, who had been highly strung up after
learning about the accident, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Twenty minutes later, Stella’s eyelashes shook and she slowly opened her eyes.
Clarence gently rubbed her hair and asked in a low voice, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Stella looked towards him, knitting her brows. She moved her lips and found her voice husky, “I feel
dizzy.”
“The doctor said it is a mild concussion. It’s normal for you to feel dizzy. They will make a check-up for
you later.”
Stella nodded her head. She grabbed Clarence’s hand to comfort him, “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
Clarence curled his lips into a smile, “Okay.”
Several minutes later, several doctors walked into the ward and examined Stella’s condition. Then one
of them said, “So far she has no other problem except for a mild concussion. We will observe her
condition for several days and she can leave the hospital when every indicator becomes normal.”
After the doctor’s leaving, the police walked into the ward and took dictations for Stella.
Clarence walked out of the ward.
Nathan walked towards him, “Mr. Conrad, I’ve made it clear.”
Clarence looked towards the two men, his gaze cold.
One of the men hurriedly said, “Sir, we also don’t want this accident to happen. It’s normal for one to
have a mild collision when driving. This is inevitable, right? Moreover, we were also slightly wounded
and the head of our car is concaved. All these…”
As Clarence’s eyes became colder and colder, his voice also became lower.
Several seconds later, Clarence said, “Now that it’s a pure accident, you two can leave.”
The two men paused as if they couldn’t believe what they had heard. They didn’t expect Clarence
would let go of them easily.
Clarence said, “What’s wrong? Do you want me to send you?”
“Oh, don’t bother. We will leave ourselves.”
“Yep, yep, we will leave ourselves.”
The two men quickly left one after the other.
Clarence said in a calm voice, “Follow them.”
“Okay.”
After leaving the hospital, the two men hailed a taxi and went home respectively.
When receiving the news, Nathan said to Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, they’re so prudent and they didn’t
give the show away.”
Clarence said, “Continue to follow them and check their identities.”
Nathan received the order and left.
At the same time…
The moment he came back home, the man immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Mr. Bernard, task finished.”
“How it? Have Clarence doubted you?”
“Hmm… Probably haven’t.”
Armand criticized him, “Probably haven’t? Fool!”
The man said, “Maybe Clarence thought it was a pure accident and he asked us to leave. But fearing
he might arrange his men to follow us, we directly came back home. He can’t find out anything.”
Armand snorted, “You’re somehow smart. This accident is a lesson to that woman. If she dares to act
so arrogantly again, next time it will not simply be a small car accident.”
“Mr. Bernard, initially we planned to give her some punishments today, but she refused to open the
door. As other people came, we could only drop the idea.”
“Never mind. This is enough. If we do too much, it will cause doubts.” Armand added, “Act as usual in
these days and don’t come to find me. When this matter is settled, I will arrange for you to the other
city. Don’t come back again in case that Clarence may find out anything.”
