Chapter 14
Ste reached out and gently shoved Horace to aside. She started to exin afterughing dryly,
“Nothing is going on here. He is an old friend of mine, and we are just shooting the breeze. If there’s
nothing concerning me here, I think I should make a break for it.”
Ste was only able to take a few steps before her wrist was grabbed by someone.
She was very reactive as she immediately feigned vomiting.
That hand immediately retrieved itself.
Ste had escaped in an unbelievably fast speed.
In the car, Sherry was enjoying music with her eyes closed, and suddenly the car door was opened,
“That didn’t take very long! I thought you guys are going to go at it for a while.”
Ste said tiredly, “Don’t mention it. Annie is his acquaintance too, and rence came to the scene
too. Luckily, I am able to flee in the nick of time, or else I think my life would end there.”
Sherry frowned deeply, “Annie? Are you talking about that Annie…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ste nodded to affirm that she understood Sherry’s unspoken
words.
“When that incident happened, didn’t she run to another country first thing first? I can’t believe that she
has the guts toe back here. Aren’t she afraid of karma?”
Ste made a vomiting gesture at this point, and she quickly produced a plum and swallowed it,
“Sherry, let’s go to the hospital.”
“Have you… thought about this thoroughly?”
After doing a check-up for Ste, he announced, “Your vitals are fine. You are having such intense
morning sickness because of your own health. You should eat healthier and also walk around more,
that would help ease your condition.”
Ste nodded, and then doctor continued, “Nothing else is wrong. You cane for a pregnancy
check-up and update your profile when twelve weeks are up.”
“I got it. Thank you.”
After exiting the doctor’s office, Sherry hurried over and asked, “Ste, what’s the verdict?”
“The doctor said that everything is fine with me.”
Sherry heaved a sigh of relief, and all of a sudden she realized that she wasn’t asking about that.
However, seeing that Ste didn’t look like she was in great health, she didn’t probe further, “Then, let’s
get back.”
While they were on the way back, Sherry received a call from the magazine that informed her of the
news of the sales volume reaching the millionth mark. The caller said that Mr. Leif had dered that
Ste would be the central attraction at the celebration partyter on at night. He was asking about her
whereabouts now.
Sherry replied, “She is feeling a little unwell, so I have sent her home. Pass on the word to Mr. Leif that
we are not going to the celebration party anymore.”
After hanging up the phone, Sherry turned her attention to Ste, “Ste, are you alright?”
Ste was leaning against the car window in deep thought, but she couldn’t be seen through. She only
responded after a while, “I want to have this child.”
When she was lying in the hospital bed earlier on, she saw a pea-sized object being disyed on the
monitor. A strange feeling enveloped her heart.
It felt like that child from three years ago had returned to her side.
How could she have the heart to kill him off again this time?
Sherry replied cheerfully, “That’s fine, you can give birth to him and we will raise him together. By the
time you remarry, we will let that bastard’s child call other man his father. That would definitely rile him
up!”
Ste’s pale face produced a smile finally, “That’s right, every time I think about that bastard’s face if
that happens, I would feel strangely ted.”
When she decided to have this child, her first instinct told her that she couldn’t disclose this decision to
rence.
At least, she wouldn’t say anything for now.
Although their marriage was one marred byplications, she still hoped that they could settle things
cleanly when they parted ways.
When the car arrived at downstairs, Ste’s phone rang. She caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar number
before answering, “Hello, may I know who you are?”
“Ste, it’s me.”
Ste held her phone in silence.
Horace continued, “Everything happened so fast just now and I didn’t have the chance to tell you
anything yet. Can we meet up?”
“Horace Jason.” Ste called out his name, “What Annie said just now was all real. I was really married,
and I indeed used some methods to marry into the Conrad family.”
“Ste, I know that’s not who you are. I won’t believe a single word Annie has said, and I don’t care that
you have married rence. I just want to know, what happened three years ago? Why did you refuse
the chance to further study in Paris? I thought we had an agreement.”
Ste simply answered, “What happened three years ago is in the past now. Let’s change topic.”
“Does that mean… that everything about us has changed too?”
“I am married now.”
“I know that there is no love in your rtionship with rence. Ste, I will wait for you.”
At this moment, Ste suddenly felt her phone burning up in her palms. Her eyshes fluttered, and
she was only able to produce a response after a while, “Don’t wait for me. I am not worthy.”
With that as herst sentence, she hung up the phone without hesitation.
Horace was like a ray of light that shone into an empty space called her life. He was loyal, outstanding,
dazzling, and he would always light up the fire of hope in her every time she was facing despair.
Perhaps, she was befuddled with such a beautiful illusion that sometimes she even thought that she
could be together with him.
The Jason family stood head to head to the Conrad family, with the both of them in the noble families
ranking. How could someone from that family ept someone with her background?
What happened three years ago not only snatch away her dream, it was a dream she had entwined
herself in for a long time.
This was the first time SG Jewellery Magazine had debuted their own brand, and theirunch into the
jewellery industry was amercial sess.
All the critics showered them with praises.
Therefore, not only were those critics marvelled by this strategic move by SG Jewellery Magazine, they
were also engaged in discussion about the lead designer this time, Sharon.
When she won the neers designer awards three years ago, the people in the industry started to
take notice of this young and aloof designer.
This time, with theunch of the “Puppy Love’ Series” by the SG Jewellery Magazine, she was once
again put in the spotlight in the designing world.
Hereback this time was a major sess. It was a beautiful move.
However, what everyone had been specting about was her whereabouts in the past three years.
As the outsiders tried toe up with all kinds of spections, in the Twilight Club, Vincent was sitting
on a sofa and fidgeting with his phone with a satisfied expression on his face.
“Take a look at them. They are spreading such rumours as if they are real. Check out this one, it’s too
outrageous. Someone used her of getting pampered and provided for by a rich businessman after
her reputation spread, and they have made her out to be a mistress in the past three years. She was
discovered by the businessman’s wife and had been shunned by her after a beating. They thought that
she came back to the scene because she lost her only source of ie, which was the rich
businessman.”
On his side, rence was sipping alcohol under the shine of a dim light. He didn’t say a word as his
jawline protruded with sharpness.
At that moment, someone asked, “Mr. Jason, Mr. Conrad, do you want to have a go at games?”
Vincent looked up from his phone and smiled, “You guys can go ahead. Mr. Conrad just came back
from a business trip and I’m sure he is tired. I will apany him for a while.”
He was immersing himself in the yfulness of those rumours as he enjoyed being an onlooker. He
wouldn’t be in any mood to y some mere games.
These baseless assumptions were able to easily keep him entertained.
After some time, rence suddenly spoke, “You told me before that she has requested the organizer
of thepetition to cash out her schrship money?”

“That’s right. Didn’t you reject that proposition?”
rence didn’t say anything more while holding his ss of wine. His brows had turned into wrinkles,
and his thoughts couldn’t be seen through.
