Two days later, Justin held a funeral for Joanna without announcing her death to the death and took Dempsey, who was paralyzed and could only move his eyes, back to Conradâs Mansion.
After that, he ordered to close the gate of Conradâs Mansion. No one was allowed to get out of the house, nor could anyone enter the house.
The media got news about this from somewhere and began to blab it all over the Internet, saying that Clarence killed Joanna and paralyzed Dempsey to stabilize his position in the Conrad Group and take control of the Conrad family.
The news of Justin holding a funeral for Joanna also spread like wildfire.
They began to discuss Clarenceâs identity as an illegitimate son again, which was a cogent reason for him to kill Joanna.
This matter arose numerous rumors and guesses overnight.
Someone said Joanna was killed by this illegitimate son who wrecked her family; someone said Clarence had been planning this for a long time and Joanna was not his only target, Clarence also wanted to kill Dempsey and Justin so that no one would be able to post a threat on his status again.
Someone even said Clarence plotted the car accident twenty years ago so that he could be taken back to the Conrad family. The accident caused Justin, the former heir of the Conrad family, to lose his legs and the Conrad family had no choice but to take Clarence back to the family.
The Conrad Group didnât respond to these rumors.
This triggered a more heated discussion on the Internet.
âIt has been so long, yet the Conrad Group still doesnât release an announcement. Are they guilt-stricken?â
âOf course theyâre guilt sickened. When there were rumors about that designer, the Conrad Group would immediately release an announcement to clarify it to back her up. I guess they flinch this time.â
âIf this is true, then Clarence is really a terrible man. He dissed those keyboard warriors before and I thought he was a rare good man who pampered his wife a lot.â
âOh, nowadays, every star has a persona. Those capitalists who forge celebrities have a more profound understanding of persona. If heâs really a good man who pampers his wife a lot, he would not have many scandals back then. They even got divorced before.â
âTake it easy. Welcome to the world of the rich. Just take the grudges among the rich as a show. Come on, are you expecting any follow-ups?â
âI think we shouldnât conclude now. The Conrad Group hasnât released an announcement. Itâll be interesting if thereâs a big reversal. Will you apologize for your words later?â
âSheâs died and they held a funeral for here. How can there be a reversal? Will she jump out of her tomb?â
âWow, are you guys hired by those rich to clarify their innocence. I broaden my horizon today.â
A small part of people insisted on waiting for the truth, but their comments were engulfed by other peopleâs opinions soon.
The discussion on the Internet was still heated. The journalists couldnât find Clarence, so they went to the Steward Group to look for Stella.
Nevertheless, Stella didnât show up either.
When hearing this good news, Armand hurriedly found those journalists and told them that he was willing to have an interview.
As Armand was not only a substantial shareholder but also a C-level manager in the company, naturally he must know many inside stories.
Therefore, those journalists scrambled to interview him.
A journalist asked, âMr. Bernard, do you think the rumors that go virus on the Internet are true?â
With his hands on his back, Armand replied with a serious expression, âActually I shouldnât talk about other peopleâs domestic affairs. Since it has become a matter that everyone in society pays great attention to, I have to express my opinion. According to the news I heard, Madame Conrad had died and itâs said that she died miserably.â
âRumor has it that she was killed by the CEO of the Conrad Group. What do you think of it?â
âAs for this question, I canât conclude it as I didnât witness it myself. But Iâve met Mr. Conrad several times before and I felt he has a bad temper and I felt afraid whenever seeing him. I heard several times that he doesnât have a good relationship with his family. Itâs within my expectation even if he really did that.â
Although he didnât directly say it out, it was very obvious that he was suggesting Joanna was probably killed by Clarence.
Another journalist asked, âMs. Radomil is now in charge of the Conrad Group and sheâs Mr. Conradâs ex-wife. Mr. Conrad also recognized her as his girlfriend and protected her in the public. Whatâs the Steward Groupâs opinion on and counter methods for this matter?â
Armand said in a righteous tone, â The Steward Group is a big company with a good reputation, so we wonât go along with such an evil person. I believe all the people in the Steward Group have the same opinion. As for Ms. Radomil, sheâs just a woman and I wonât blame her for being blind by love and not being able to figure out the truth.â
After finishing the words, Armand continued, âLadies and gentlemen, since youâre all here today, I want to clarify a rumor about me. I...â
Before he could finish the words, someone in the crowd shouted, âThe Conrad Group holds a news conference. Hurry up to go there.â
The journalists scrambled out in an instant.
Standing on the spot, Armand pulled a long face.
Both the police and an unknown force had been keeping a close eye on him recently and he couldnât leave City N. Moreover, many of his businesses were affected.
Originally, he planned to take this chance to clarify his innocence and added fuel to Clarenceâs condition. Never had he expected that he couldnât finish his words.
His assistant walked over, âMr. Bernard, theyâve found out irrefutable evidence for Loganâs case to prove that Logan was the murderer.â
Armand narrowed his eyes, âDid he say anything else?â
âIâve asked them about out matters. Logan didnât say anything and just hoped he could be bailed. Mr. Bernard, should we...â
Armand snorted, âHe wants to be bailed after killing someone? What a simple mind. Can you find a way to shift the responsibility of my case to him?
Iâm fucking annoyed. I want to leave the city, but I canât. It will only create troubles if I stay here.â
âI guess... Itâs not that easy. Unless we can provide some direct evidence; otherwise, the police will still keep a close eye on you.â
Armand cursed and then sneered, âBut they deserve it. They wanted to harm me, yet only to get themselves in trouble. I donât believe that Clarence can still be so powerful after this trouble. With Clarence as her backer, itâs just a piece of cake for me to make some troubles for Stella.â
âShould we take action now?â
âDonât be in a hurry. If we take action now, isnât it equal to tell them Iâm the person behind this?â
Armand said, âLetâs go. Letâs see how they will justify for themselves on the news conference.â
After getting into the car, Armandâs assistant reported, âMr. Bernard, I received a call from the police and they told me Logan wanted to meet you up.â
Armand knitted his brows tightly, âWhy does he want to meet me up?â
âThey didnât tell me about the details. Should we go there?â

What Armand was afraid of was that Logan would disregard anything and get him involved when he was cornered. In that case, he would have to suffer a loss.
Therefore, Armand replied, âLet go and see what last words he will have.â
