Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 742

Caesar met his eyes and said playfully, “Brother is such a devoted son. How could you do such a sacrilegious thing? That was doyen's ashes in there. And you threw it away so casually?"

Elaine held Franklin up and said with red eyes, "Uncle! Did you ... Did ... Did you plan all this?"

Franklin pulled her back and his face turned livid, "Did you intend to blow me up?"

"I was just trying to see what your choice would be. You sure didn't disappoint me." Caesar added, "It was a worthy death for him to have ended up like that."

One of the elders was shaking with anger as he was being held up, "How could the James family have such an impious person like you!"

Caesar chuckled, "I have long since ceased to be a member of the James family. I have come here today to see doyen off for the last time."

He looked at the crowd and his eyes turned ferocious, "You will all be buried with him."

As Caesar finished speaking, a group of men with guns appeared from all corners of the graveyard and surrounded them.

The men of the James family had always been living high on the hogs and had never seen such a situation. They all turned pale and bloodless.

Only a few elders of the James family managed to keep their composure. They were probably used to big scenes, or perhaps they did not believe that Caesar would dare to do anything.

Caesar looked across the crowd at Clarence and smiled triumphantly, "Mr. Conrad, how nice would it be if you could just stay at City N! Unfortunately, you have to come and get involved in this mess."

Clarence wrapped his arms around Stella and said indifferently, "So you're going to let me die here with them today."

"Do you expect to walk out of here unhurt? Oh, you ... no, all of you! Are you expecting Darnell to come to your rescue? He's no better off than you all are right now. Of course, I know he's not easy to deal with, but thanks to a few of my friends. Even though he's not dead, there's no chance for him to come save you."

Clarence said, "So that's how it is."

Caesar said, "You figured it out?"

"You arranged for the press to blend in, made a grand speech at doyen's grave, and put all the blame on Darnell. Now, if we die here, you can tell the public that he was the culprit."

"You're clever."

Clarence said coldly, "But that's just your one-sided story, and it won't achieve the effect you want."

No sooner had Clarence finished speaking than Elaine's voice sounded from not far away. She was struggling, "Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Caesar shook his head and lamented, "I really can't hide anything from you. Of course, I won't kill everyone. Having Elaine in my hands will help me out a lot."

Elaine hit and bit the two men who came for her but could not break free.

Franklin tried to get her out, but was kicked right in the knee and fell to the ground.

Elaine's eyes widened and she shouted, "Daddy!"

Stella took a step forward but was pulled back by Clarence. He whispered in her ear, "It's okay."

Caesar looked over at her, "Elaine, if you want your dad to suffer less, you'd better cooperate."

Tears slid down her cheeks. She sobbed in a hoarse voice, "Uncle, how can you ... how can you ... ummm ..."

Elaine shouted, "Uncle, stop it! It's not too late to stop. He won't hurt you. ..."

"Shut up!"

Elaine had never seen him looking so terrifying. She was so shocked that the rest of her words caught in her throat and she couldn't make another sound.

Caesar looked back at Darnell and pushed his glasses up, "It seems I underestimated you."

The fire at the shrine was just a trigger to lure Darnell there and intercept him on the way.

What he hadn't expected was that he would be back in such a short time.

Darnell said, "By now, you won't be denying that you killed those elders, will you?"

Caesar laughed, "Yes, so what if I killed them? You and they have always been at odds. Wouldn't it be better if I removed those obstacles for you? How would you hold the position as the head of the James family with them around?"

Caesar turned to look at some of the James family members, "And these people. You should know better than I do that some of them, on the surface, worship you as the head of the family, but behind your back, many of them think that you are too young to take on this great responsibility and are trying to pull you down from this position."

"Now if you kill these people, there will be no one to oppose you anymore and the whole James family will be yours. Shouldn't you be grateful to me?"

At Caesar's words, those of the James family, who had seen hope, had their faces turned pale again. Those who had defied Darnell and played a lot of tricks in secret, their faces turned as white as sheet.

If Caesar allied with Darnell, they would have no choice but to die today.
