Meanwhile, Steward Group.
Nathan brought in a file. âExcuse me, Mr. Conrad. The bidding documents for this afternoon have been ready.â
Clarence hummed to answer and took the document over, only to find Nathan was still standing there.
He said, âWhat happened? Speak.â
Nathan answered, âMr. Carter went to Ms. Radomil earlier. It seemed their conversation ended unhappily.â
Clarence wasnât surprised at this result. He lowered his head to read through the document. âWould you be happy if this happened to you?â
Nathan clicked his tongue. He had to admit Mr. Conrad was competent.
He hadnât done anything, but it seemed his goal had been achieved.
Instantly, the conflict between Stella and Emmett had been brought to the highest.
His rival in love was so doomed.
Clarence looked up. âHowâs your investigation going?â
Nathan returned to his senses and said, âIâve found something. Mr. Carterâs mother used to be a close friend of Ms. Radomilâs mother. However, for some reason, after Ms. Radomilâs parents got married, the two ladies were distanced. Shortly after, Mrs. Carter married Mr. Carterâs father. Mr.
Carterâs father got along with Ms. Radomilâs parents, in fact. Rumors has it that he had feelings for...â
Clarence asked, âIs that all?â
Nathan nodded. âYes, thatâs what Iâve found so far. After all, it happened two or three decades ago. It was related to the last generation. Hence, itâs not easy to confirm.â
âArenât the people involved still alive? Go ahead to confirm with them.â
Nathan was confused. âPeople involved? Mr. Carterâs mother?â
âNo matter his father or mother, just talk to the one that would more likely give you an answer.â
Nathan nodded. âI got it, Mr. Conrad.â
Clarence asked, âWhen will the bidding start?â
Nathan checked the time. âAt three in the afternoon. There are still one hour forty minutes left. We can set off at two oâclock.â
âOkay. Go back to your work.â
Nathan answered and left the office.
According to the current investigation, Clarence didnât think Emmettâs mother would tell the truth.
Hence, they could work on his father instead.
In the hospital.
Emmett couldnât get the truth from his mother.
His mother said, âSince youâve got the test result, you should do whatever you ought to. You can also file a complaint against me in the hospital. I admit Iâve made a mistake in the test. I accept whatever punishment from the hospital.â
Emmett frowned. âMom...â
âAll right. I canât talk to you anymore. I must go back to work.â
Then she turned away.
Emmett stood there motionlessly, feeling extremely helpless that he had never felt before.
He didnât want to do that to his mother.
He wondered why.
...
At the studio.
Stella sat at her desk for a long while. She kept fiddling with the ornaments beside her.
She didnât draw a brush on the draft paper in front of her.
While she was lost in thought, her shoulder was patted. âWhat are you thinking of?â
Stella turned around and gasped, âSherry?â
Sherry opened her suitcase, and started to take out some of the things and place them on the desk. âMy mother asked me to give them to you.â
âWhy are you back? Didn't you say you wished to accompany your parents for more days?â
Sherry sat on the sofa, heaving a sigh. âAlas... My mother has sent me back. She said whenever seeing me, she wanted to urge me to get married.
Out of sight, out of mind. Hence, I ran away.â
Stella smiled. âWhat about Daniel? He went to find you, didn't he?â
Sherry curled her lips. âWhy should I care about him? Iâve gone. He can stay there however he likes.â
âArenât you afraid he will revisit your parents?â
âIf he really loves to go to my parentsâ house, he can become my parentsâ godson. They like him a lot, anyway.â
Stella said, âCut out the nonsense.â
Sherry opened her bag and pulled something out. âBy the way, this is the test result..â
Stella took it over. She lowered her head, feeling upset.
Sherry knew Stella invited Chan for dinner last night. She asked, âWhat happened? Did Chan say something?â
Stella put away the test result. âHe said everything had ended after Jeffrey had died. Itâs not important who his father is.â
Sherry could imagine this scene, actually.
She heaved a sigh. After a while, she asked, âWhat do you plan to do now? Will you tell your father?â
Stella shook her head. âI donât want to tell him for the time being. I want to wait for Chanâs reaction. He needs time to accept it. Otherwise, my father will be upset and blaming himself after knowing Chanâs attitude.â
Sherry scratched her hair and asked gingerly, âThen... Emmett Carter...â
âHe came to me at noon and apologized to me. He didnât say anything else, though.â
When Sherry asked Daniel that question, she had expected him to tell Emmett.
Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again She said, âThis matter is quite confusing. I still canât understand why Emmett had done it. He wouldnât benefit from it, would he? Mr. William trusts him so much.â
âI donât know, either,â Stella said in a low voice. âHowever, itâs not important now. I just wonder what Chan should do.â
Sherry said, âChan always knows what he wants, especially on this matter. I donât think itâs easy to resolve.â
Stella said, âMy father will come back to City N soon. Once I imagine the scene when they met, I feel... horrified.â
Hence, she wished that everything could be resolved before that.
However, it wouldnât be that easy.
When thinking about that scene, Sherry felt panicked.
Hence, she could understand how worried and hesitant Stella was now.
Sherry thought for a few seconds. âWe can... ask Winnie for help.â
Stella raised her head in a daze. She had never thought of that earlier.
Sherry added, âThink about it. Chan has been against this matter already. No matter you or I tell him, Chan would resist it. He wonât think about this problem calmly. However, Winnie is different. Her goal isnât so evident as ours. She can raise the topic to Chan more easily. Besides, I guess... Chan probably will listen to her.â
âBut, she and Chan havenât..â
âIsnât that good? They could become closer due to this matter. Iâm sure Chan will be delighted.â
âWill Winnie agree?â
Sherry smiled mysteriously. âWinnie has a crush on Chan, but she didnât dare to face her real thought. However, she will definitely agree to help him overcome his psychological disorder.â
As she spoke, Sherry picked up her phone and said, âIâm gonna call her now.â
