Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

At the word, Elaine's footsteps gradually stopped.

The entire hall, too, was instantly quiet, exchanging glances with each other.

At this point, they all turned their attention to Franklin, as if they wanted to hear what he would say.

Franklin's face was taut and he did not speak for a moment.

At this time, a cold voice rang out, breaking the eerie silence: "Elaine, come here."

The crowd raised their eyes tofind that the voice came from the man next to Franklin, Darnell.

He stood there with an upright figure, his eyebrows were bitterly cold, and coldness emanated from all around him.

Just a look, it calls for a daunting look.

Elaine looked over at him with her hands gripping her skirt at her side, her mouth open and her face a little white.

She wanted to go over, but for some reason, her feet seemed to be filled with lead, so heavy she couldn't lift them.

Caesar saw this and the smile on his face widened: "Elaine, don't you really want to know the truth, don't you want

to know what kind of person this father who loved you so much was, and why he killed your mother?"

Elaine closed her eyes slightly, took a breath and turned her head to Caesar: "Uncle Caesar, I don't know what you

are trying to say, all I know is that I have lived with my father for more than twenty years, no one knows him better

than I do, and no one can slander him from me. If it was really like you say, my father is the kind of person you say,

you would have used this as a handle to blackmail him long ago, instead of being here in front of everyone and

insisting on telling me the truth."

There are many people who came to the birthday banquet today, each with a distinguished status, and word of

tonight's events spread, even if it is confirmed that Caesar is nonsense, but the impact has been created.

The smile on Caesar's face remained the same: "Elaine, you have indeed grown up, but what am I going to hold

him hostage for, all I want is for him to lose his reputation in front of everyone, just like me."

Elaine shook her head gently: "Uncle Caesar, you want a lot, if you just wanted my father to lose his reputation, you

would have gone to a press conference, that would have achieved the effect you wanted."

Caesar's eyes narrowed and he looked at her for a few seconds before saying, "You're right, you're still thinking

ahead."

Elaine pursed her lips gently, then turned back to walk quickly in the direction of her dad and Darnell.

Franklin gave her an approving look, then turned toward the crowd and said, "Everyone, I have family business to

attend to today, so that's the end of the birthday party."

This statement, some people have the sense to leave, some people stand still, it seems to want to wait and see

again.

About what Caesar said, it must not be empty, there must be more secrets.

As more and more people left, Elaine suddenly felt her hand being held.

The next second, she was led out of the place.

When you get out of the hall, the side entrance is so quiet compared to the noisy hall that you can hear the wind

blowing the leaves.

Elaine tugged on his sleeve, "Where are we going."

Darnell stopped and turned to look at her, "I'll go with you wherever you want to go."

Elaine whispered, "I want to go back to my dad."

Darnell said, "He doesn't have time to see you right now."

"I know, but I ......"

"Elaine," Darnell said slowly, "you don't have to take what Caesar says seriously or take it to heart."

Elaine nodded gently, "Uncle Caesar he ...... he obviously came from a bad place this time, he also once told me

...... that... ..."

Darnell said, "What was said?"

Elaine hung her head: "He said that as soon as I left Riverside City, the next time I'd come back would be for my

dad's funeral."

Saying that, her voice choked a bit uncontrollably.

Darnell pulled her into a hug and patted her back, saying nothing.

After a while, Elaine calmed down a bit before she said, "My dad, he'll be fine, right ......"

There was a note of caution in his tone.

Halfway through the day, Darnell said, "No."

He let go of Elaine, retook her hand, and struck out.

Outside the side door, a car was parked.

Darnell pulled open the back seat door, let her sit in, wiped the tear stains from her face and whispered, "Elaine,

get out of here first, I'll come pick you up after a while."

"Don't, I ......"

Before she could say anything, the car door was closed.

Elaine rapped hard on the door and cried, "I don't want to go, you guys left me behind again, I want to go to my

dad ......"

Just as Elaine was crying her heart out and desperate, a faint male voice came from next to her, "Shut up."

Elaine froze, turned her head to look at the man sitting next to her, and didn't cry, a sob.

Clarence glanced at her, "My daughter isn't even as loud as you are."

Elaine deflated her mouth, aggrieved: "But my dad ......"

Clarence lifted his wrist to check the time and instructed, "Let's go."

Elaine thought about it and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, she picked Clarence's arm: "Did Darnell ask you to

pick me up, so if that's the case, you should have already planned it, my dad will be fine!"

Clarence calmly turned his head: "Don't have such high expectations of me, I'm only responsible for getting you to

City N."

"But ......" Elaine frowned and made a small request, "I want to see my dad one more time, just one more time,

please, I know you must have a way! "

Clarence was unmoved.

Elaine finally made the killer move: "Uncle? You're my real uncle!"

Clarence: "......"

Elaine continued: "I will never badmouth you in front of my sister, I will praise you every day, three times a day!"

Clarence said, "It seems you've said a lot of bad things about me."

Elaine was speechless for a moment, not expecting to be exposed like that.

She was just about to speak again when Clarence said, "Don't Darnell find you annoying when you talk so much?"

Elaine sat back in defeat, and sure enough, she should not count on Clarence.

Just as she was lost, Clarence had opened the car door and was standing outside the car, "What are you still sitting

there for, waiting for me to treat you?"

Elaine sniffed, her eyes instantly lit up and she hurriedly got out of the car.

But she and Clarence had only gone a few steps when a gunshot from inside cut through the night air.

Elaine looked startled and hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran over.

Clarence frowned slightly and turned to look at Nathan, who immediately understood and quickly followed behind

Elaine.

Elaine ran to the garden in one breath, the guests had already gone, only the cold white light shining on the ground,

no longer the daytime bustle.

Elaine gasped for breath, all with a cold evening breeze.

She held her breath and walked in quickly.
