In the news conference, when every journalist was there, Nathan slowly walked onto the stage.
He said with a smile, “Sorry to keep you guys waiting. We hold this news conference to make clear of
three matters.”
The boisterous crowd immediately became silent.
Nathan continued, “The news which has been widely spread on the Internet in these two days is a
rumor. It’s true that Madame Conrad has died, but she didn’t die of a murder. She committed suicide.
The reason why Chairman Dempsey was paralyzed was that he witnessed this and was stimulated. He
suffered a cerebral infarction because of this.”
His words caused a discussion among the journalists.
Most of them asked why Joanna would commit suicide.
Nathan answered the question, “As for the reason why Madame Conrad would commit suicide, we will
not disclose to the public for now. Many people were present when she killed herself and they were all
witnesses. Here’s an examination report from the forensic doctor and it proves the authenticity of
Madame’s Conrad’s suicide.”
Before the journalists could ask any other questions, Nathan went on, “The next matter is that I’ve seen
many ridiculous rumors recently. Someone even said that it was Mr. Conrad who plotted the car
accident twenty years ago, which then caused Young Master Justin to lose his legs. Ladies and
gentlemen, Mr. Conrad was less than ten years old twenty years ago. It’s not malicious slander. I think
those who spread this rumor have something wrong with their brains.”
If this rumor was spread before Joanna’s death, most people would not believe in in. But when Joanna
died and Dempsey was paralyzed at the same time, this assumption seemed to be not that ridiculous.
It seemed like something that Clarence would do.
However, they came to their senses when hearing Nathan’s reminder. Clarence was just a kid twenty
years ago. How would he be able to plot that car accident?
It was really ridiculous
Right at this moment, someone in the crowd asked, “Why doesn’t Mr. Conrad show up in today’s news
conference?”
The other person immediately chimed in, “That’s true. If he’s not guilt-stricken, why does he hide?”
Nathan replied in a composed voice, “This is the third matter I want to clarify. Mr. Conrad was attacked
when he was in the Conrads’ Mansion several days ago. He was seriously wounded and was then
hospitalized. He can’t move. I know you’re all curious about what happened in the Conrads’ Mansion
that night, but it can’t be put in words with several sentences. Since she has died, Mr. Conrad doesn’t
want to pursue this matter for the sake of the alive. But this is not a reason for you to slander him.”
Apparently, there was a connotation behind his words and all the journalists were clear of it.
Everyone left when the news conference was over.
But the several journalists who acted aggressively just now were stopped.
They asked, “What do you want to do?”
Nathan walked over with a smile, “We’ve investigated it in detail just now. The malicious rumors posted
on the Internet were written by you.”
Those people exchanged a glance and wanted to run away, but were then caught by the security
guards who had been preparing for it.
Nathan came back to the hospital and reported, “Mr. Conrad, I’ve solved it. But I couldn’t get any other
information from them. I guess they get paid by doing this. I’ve sent them to the police.”
Clarence replied with a nasal sound, “This is just the beginning. The trap Joanna set up for me before
her death is much more complicated. Continue to keep an eye on them.”
“Okay.”
Right at this moment, Maxwell walked over, “Mr. Conrad, the procedures for leaving the hospital have
been gone thorough.”
Clarence stood up, “Let’s go.”
On the way to the Conrad Group and when the journalists and gossipers were so curious about the
inside stories grudges in that rich family, an anonymous account elaborated the details of this matter in
an article.
It mainly clarified that Joanna plotted a car accident when Stella was pregnant with the purpose of
killing Stella and the baby. Moreover, she didn’t regret it and satirized and slandered them several
times after that.
The article also mentioned the accident that happened in the Conrads’ Mansion: The Conrads
snatched the baby and Joanna instructed the babysitter to smother the baby in front of everyone. But
her plan failed and they found it, so Joanna chose to kill herself.
The article was attached with the information of that car accident and the result of the police’s
investigation, which proved that someone had broken the brake of the car. And the car belonged to the
Conrad family.
In addition to these, there were also the babysitter’s oral confession and transcript.
“Er… As expected, here comes the reversal. I’m suddenly lost for words.”
“To be honest, if this disclosure is true, I won’t feel it weird even if Mr. Conrad really killed her. I support
him to do so.”
“She’s so vicious that she plotted a car accident for the pregnant lady, hoping the mother and the child
would die in the accident. But I didn’t expect that she would instruct the babysitter to smother the baby
in front of Mr. Conrad. Oh my gosh, my back breaks out into cold sweats.”
“Emm… The grudges in the rich families are so horrifying. They’re a family. Why did they act as if they
bear a deep-seated hatred.”
“Nonsense. Are they a family? I heard that Mr. Conrad was an illegitimate son before, and it was
Madame Conrad who disclosed this secret. Rumors had it that it was Mr. Conrad who plotted the car
accident which caused Madame Conrad’s son to lose his legs. I think this might be the reason why she
hated Mr. Conrad. I think she was out of her mind before.”
But someone retorted, “But you can’t change the fact that he’s an illegitimate son.”
“But everyone can’t choose the family that one was born into. It’s obvious to all that Mr. Conrad is a
capable man. Even if he wasn’t taken back to the Conrad family before, he would still achieve
outstanding achievements.”
“I think so. Moreover, after this matter, I think we shouldn’t conclude before making clear of the details.
Maybe there will be another reversal which proves that Mr. Conrad is not an illegitimate son.”
Clarence glanced through the comments on the Internet, put down his phone and looked towards
Nathan, “You did it?”
Nathan shook his head. Clarence decided to reserve Joanna’s reputation and decided not to disclose
her crimes to the public for the sake of Justin, so naturally, he wouldn’t do that secretly.
Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips together and suddenly chuckled.
Nathan was bewildered.
Nathan insisted that Clarence couldn’t leave the hospital since he hadn’t recovered.
Clarence asked, “What was Stella doing in the past two days?”
“Mrs. Conrad found a new house and she just moved there today.”
“What about the baby?”
“Little Noah is doing well.” Nathan paused and then asked tentatively, “Mr. Conrad, are we going back
to the company?”
“Where else do you want to go if we don’t go back to the company?”
Nathan coughed awkwardly and acted as if he hadn’t asked the question.
Clarence instructed him after a short while, “Go check whether there’s a house near Stella’s house and
buy it.”
Nathan recalled Stella’s words and reminded him in a low voice, “Mr. Conrad, you will anger Mrs.
Conrad by doing so.”
“Will she not be angry at me if I don’t do so?”
Nathan was rendered speechless as he thought Clarence’s words made sense.
Right at this moment, they received a call from Vincent, who told them that they’d sent Dolores to a
safe place personally and settled her. He told them he was going back soon.
Clarence said, “Go to Riverside directly.”
Vincent paused and then asked, “Riverside?”
Clarence replied with a nasal sound and added, “Investigate the situation there. Tell me if there’s any
news.”
After ending the call, Nathan asked, “Mr. Conrad, didn’t you ask some of our men to Riverside not long
ago? Why do you…”
Clarence said in a composed tone, “Maybe we will get two different answers.”
