Chapter 137


    In the hospital.


    As soon as Reba came out of the bathroom, she saw her mother holding a flower basket at the


    door. She asked casually, “Who has sent it?”


    Tabitha pulled a long face and looked a bit annoyed, “It’s from rence Conrad.”


    Upon hearing it, Reba said surprisingly, “rence Conrad? Hasn’t the Conrad family sent us a gift?


    Why did he...”


    “I don’t know what he meant. He sent it over in his name.”


    Reba was more confused. rence never was friendly to her whole family. Although they had


    be inws because of the engagement of Annie and Horace, it was decided by Dempsey. Hence,


    they couldn’t get along with rence more.


    In such a circumstance, how could rence send her a gift deliberately for her childbirth?


    Tabitha said, “Isn’t he getting married to Phoebe? Would it be possible that Phoebe asked him to do


    so?”


    Reba shook her head, “How could Phoebe ask rence to do anything?”


    The more she thought about it, the weirder Reba felt. She didn’t want to overthink, but the matter


    that rence sent her a gift was way too creepy.


    While she was trying hard to figure it out, Tabitha suddenly said, “Reba, look. There’s a card.”


    “Let me take a look.”


    Reba took it over. When she opened the card and read the line, she suddenly looked pale.


    Tabitha noticed it and asked, “Reba, what’s wrong? What’s on the card?”


    Reba returned to her senses. Immediately, she shook her head and pressed the card behind her


    back, “Nothing, Mom. It’s just some wishing words.”


    Right then, her baby woke up and started weeping. Tabitha rushed to coax the baby.


    Reba sat on the bed. Although there was a heater in the room, she felt extremely cold as all fours


    were frozen.


    rence wouldn’t have written such words for no reason. She guessed that he must have known she


    made Ste drown.


    She also knew that ording to rence’s character, he wouldn’t let it go so easily.


    ...


    On the second day during breakfast, Dempsey was still angry. He pulled a long face without saying a


    single word.


    Joanna still looked expressionless. Annie lowered her head and held her breath.


    Only Justin said, “rence, you haven’t stayed home for several years. Since you moved back this


    time, please stay here longer.”


    Upon hearing it, Dempsey didn’t speak, but he looked quite annoyed obviously.


    rence curled up his lips. He said calmly, “Yeah. I’m not quite busy with my work recently. Otherwise,


    I wouldn’t have this chance.”


    Right after thest syble fell from the tip of his tongue, Dempsey smashed his tableware onto the


    table and walked into the study with the walking stick.


    Shortly after, Joanna wiped her mouth and left as well.


    Seeing that, Annie followed her immediately.


    Justin said, “rence, it’s good that you’ve moved back. You can apany Ste. She’s living here


    alone. I don’t think she feels quite easy.”


    rence cast a nce at Ste, who was drinking the porridge in silence, “? I can tell she enjoys living


    here a lot.”


    Ste was speechless.


    Justin smiled. He patted rence on his shoulder and operated his wheelchair towards the garden,


    “It’s a nice day. I’ll go out for a walk. Suit yourselves.”


    Ste didn’t want to talk to rence. She wanted to lead a happy life.


    After breakfast, she was about to return to her room as usual. However, as soon as she stood up, a


    servant brought in two persons, “Mr. rence, they said they are employees of SG Jewelry Magazine.”


    Ste looked back, only to find Sherry standing next to the servant blinking at her.


    Upon hearing the sound outside, Dempsey walked out of the study. With a frown, he said, “Who


    allowed them toe in? What are they doing here?”


    rence stood up and said in a cold tone, “I invited them toe here.”


    Dempsey was extremely unhappy that rence had moved back without noticing him. Upon hearing


    his words, Dempsey looked more annoyed, “What are you doing?”


    rence answered indifferently, “I epted to take an interview.”


    Dempsey wondered if rence was mentally ill. Usually, he didn’t care whatever this disobedient son


    was doing. However, today, rence asked the magazine employees back to the Conrads’ Mansion


    for an interview.


    Dempsey was pissed off by rence. For a moment, he couldn’t utter any word. He could only pace on


    the floor with the walking stick violently. Then he turned around and walked back to his room.


    Watching the unexpected scene, Ste was a bit taken aback.


    Sherry looked around and found that nobody else was with them. She walked up and tugged Ste’s


    sleeve, “What are you thinking about?”


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Ste was brought into her senses, “Sherry, why are you...”


    Before Sherry answered, rence looked over at the editor from the magazine who came over


    together with Sherry, “Let’s go.”


    The editor immediately followed him.


    Sherry whispered to Ste, “Which room do you stay in? Let’s talk in your room privately.”


    Ste took Sherry into her room and asked, “Sherry, what’s going on? Howe suddenly rence


    has epted an interview with SG Jewelry Magazine? And you are...”


    Sherry answered, “Since you were taken away by the Conrad family, I’ve been worried about you. So


    on the day before yesterday, I went to Conrad Group and have a try...”


    Ste contacted Sherry after being taken away and she told Sherry that she had to stay in the Conrads’


    Mansion for the time being. Probably she had to quit from SG Jewelry Magazine as well, and she


    asked Sherry not to worry.


    However, she was pregnant and was taken away. Sherry knew what kind of ce the Conrads’


    Mansion was, so she was still quite worried about Ste.


    That was why she went to meet rence.


    Much to her surprise, rence agreed toe over and meet Ste.


    Sherry said, “Honestly, sometimes he’s truly a wretched man, but at the critical moment, he’s quite


    reliable. Besides, he used the interview as an excuse. In this case, no one in the Conrad family will


    trouble you.”


    That made sense, but Ste wondered why rence would have done it.


    Before she could figure it out, Sherry added, “Ste, what’s your n now? Are you going to stay here


    all the time?”


    Ste shook her head. After a thought, she said, “A few dayster, it’ll be rence’s father’s birthday


    banquet. It’s a chance for me.”


    “What’s your n then? What should I do to help you?”


    Ste said, “Nothing. Thank you, Sherry.”


    After a pause, she added, “Sherry, you can’t let anyone else know about my escaping n this time.”


    “Even not Chan?”


    Ste nodded. Once she sessfully escaped, rence would suspect Chan and Sherry first, so he


    would investigate starting from them certainly.


    Hence, she absolutely couldn’t ask them for help this time.


    Otherwise, she would pull them into the mere.


    Ste added, “After it bes peaceful in City N, I’ll contact you guys, Sherry.”
