Chapter 54


    The woman was startled at the door. “Excuse me. I don’t know where the lounge is...”


    rence paused his pace. He looked over from aside, only to find an unknown woman standing at the


    door. He creased his handsome brows slightly and asked, “Who are you?”


    Modesty was quite awkward. She clenched her hands in nervousness, blushing. “I’m Modesty Parker, a


    jewelry designer from SG Jewelry Magazine. I came here to thank you, Mr. Conrad...”


    rence looked quite annoyed. “Did youe here alone?”


    “Yes, I did.” Modesty bit her lower lip and didn’t know what to say. Suddenly, she recalled his order


    when she came in. Instantly, she seemed to have grabbed the straw to save her life. She asked, “Mr.


    Conrad, do you want to have a cup of coffee? I can go there now...”


    “No, thanks.” rence sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked quite indifferent and aloof.


    “What can I do for you?


    Modesty walked in and closed the office door. She took a few steps forward. Looking at the handsome


    man in front, she blushed deeply. “I’m Modesty. Mr. Conrad, do you still remember me?”


    “No, I don’t.”


    His tone was already with some coldness. H was running out of patience already.


    Biting her lower lip, Modesty exined, “Three years ago, I got the first prize of Young Designers''


    Contest, so I got the financial support from Conrad Group to study in France. I’ve juste back not


    long ago. Now I’m the executive jewelry designer in SG Jewelry Magazine. I came here to thank you


    deliberately, Mr. Conrad. If it weren’t for you, I...”


    rence interrupted her without any expression, “Wasn’t Ste Radomil the winner of the first prize?”


    Modesty didn’t seem to expect that he would know Ste’s name. Her expression changed slightly but


    soon was hidden. “Yes, I won the second prize. However, Mr. Conrad, you said she had taken the


    contest as a business opportunity and she didn’t deserve the chance because she wanted to make


    profits from it. Her qualification was canceled and I went to France instead.”


    rence didn’t speak for a few seconds. Then he asked, “Have you done?”


    Modesty didn’t get it. “What?”


    “If you’ve done thanking me, you can leave now.”


    Beforeing here, Modesty had asked around what rence’s character was. Hence, she wasn’t


    surprised to hear his words. She said, “I’d like to invite you for a meal, Mr. Conrad. May I have the


    pleasure, please?”


    rence looked up at her with an extremely cold face, “Are all designers from SG Jewelry Magazine


    so idle?”


    Modesty misunderstood that rence thought that she had wasted Conrad Group’s money for


    studying abroad since she came out during the work time. She exined, “I... I’ve just joined SG


    Jewelry Magazine. The other designer is in charge of the current designs. I also asked for a leave


    today...”


    rence stood up. “It’s none of my business.”


    Before she requested, Modesty was well prepared that she would be refused. “Okay. Mr. Conrad, I


    won’t be holding you up for so long. Next time, when you are free, please contact me.”


    After finishing her words, Modesty put her business card on the tea table boldly. Then she turned away.


    After Modesty was gone, rence pressed the internal life of the assistant’s office. He asked in a cold


    tone, “Where is Nathan?”


    “Mr. Lance is out.”


    rence ordered coldly, “Notice all the employees - in the future, if the designer of SG Jewelry


    Magazine came here again, ask her to go back directly. Don’t let them bother me.”


    The woman who should havee here didn’t show up, but he received another design who shouldn’t


    havee here.


    The assistant on the phone immediately answered, “Yes, Mr. Conrad.”


    Staring at the documents in front of him, rence felt a bit annoyed. After a few seconds, he pulled out


    his phone and dialed Vincent’s number.


    “Hello, Vincent. What’s Horace Keith up to recently?”


    “It seems he has been taking care of the Jason family’s business.” Vincent added, “I heard that Mr.


    Dempsey Conrad has contacted the Jason family privately. In the birthday banquet this Saturday, it


    would be confirmed.”


    rence wasn’t surprised at all. His voice became t, and he asked, “Dempsey has taken a lot of


    actions recently.”

    “It seems that Horace is quite reluctant. Shall I talk to him and help him?”


    “Why would you care about him? Just send his schedule to Annie in the future.”


    Vincent was speechless.


    He wondered if rence was nuts.


    ...


    On the way back home, Ste called Sherry, but the call wasn’t connected at all.


    She was a bit worried. She asked the driver to make a turn and also texted Channing.


    When Ste walked out of the elevator, she heard Liam’s voice. “Sherry, please give me one more


    chance. I promise I won’t contact her anymore...”


    “We can’t be together anymore. When you cheat on me, didn’t you feel so happy? Why are you asking


    me for another chance now?”


    “I stayed abroad for a whole year, but you were not by my side. What could I do? But, Sherry, please


    rest assured. I don’t like her at all. I only love you.”


    Sherry burst intoughter in anger. “You couldn’t control your private part, but now you are ming me


    for it. Fuck off! Now! I don’t want to see you anymore!”


    “I just cheated on you once. What about Ste Radomil? She was a man’s mistress secretly for three


    years. Now, Horace came back, she hooked up with him. For your sake, I didn’t tell Horace anything


    about it.”


    “Liam Keith, who do you think you are? Without Ste, would Horace know who you are? Besides,


    Ste married the man. Do you think others are all as shameless as you are?”


    “If she married the man, why she never dared to tell the public about it. Sherry, I’m saying it for your


    own good. Don’t be deceived by Ste Radomil. Now she hooked up with Horace just because she


    wanted to find a father for the bastard in her belly...”


    The more he spoke, the more insulting his words sounded. Sherry couldn’t bear it any longer. She


    pped him across his face fiercely, “Fuck off! You asshole!”


    When Liam rushed out of the door, he bumped into Ste.


    He paused a bit. However, he didn’t look embarrassed at all because he insulted Ste at her back.


    Instead, he sneered and left quickly.


    Sherry tossed his belongings out. She found Ste standing there. “Ste, have you heard what he


    said... He’s just a lunatic, a mad dog. He barks and bites anyone at random. Please don’t take his


    words to heart.”


    Ste knew that Liam med her for breaking up with Sherry, so he targeted her and insulted her.


    Ste smiled at Sherry. “What can I do for you, Sherry?”


    Thetter shook her head. “I’m done packing already. It seems that he doesn’t want them either.”


    Right then, the door of the elevator opened. Channing showed up.


    As soon as he received Ste’s text message, he asked someone to back him up. Then he rushed


    over.


    Looking at the pile of stuff in front of Sherry’s door, he asked, “Are you girls all right?”


    Sherry answered, “We’re fine. Chan, good timing. Please help me to toss the garbage into the bin


    downstairs. Since it’s garbage, it should be in the bin. We should go for dinner after it’s done.”


    As soon as he got here, Channing knew something must have happened. Since none of thedies


    wanted to tell him, he didn’t ask them. Then he helped move the garbage.
