Chapter 143


    In the disclosure, although it didn’t point out which big shot in business was Ste’s sugar daddy, it


    could be perceived from the lines that he was a person that even SG didn’t dare to offend. This


    exined why Ste’s scandals were oppressed again and again and why SG gave her strong support.


    This matter went virusprehensively after the disclosure. Suddenly a person, asserting to be a


    person in the know, disclosed that the photos were photographed in the Conrad family in City N.


    There were many replies to this post. Someone asserting to be an employee of SG said that she once


    saw a richdye to SG’s office for Ste.


    The onlookers recalled the scenes and guessed that the richdy she mentioned should be Joanna.


    Amenter then mentioned illegitimate children. In the beginning, they were all discussing which


    member of the Conrad family was the father of the illegitimate child in Ste’s belly. Amenter


    suddenly mentioned, the Conrad family had an illegitimate child now.


    When Ste learned about this, it was already ten o’clock in the evening.


    And it was Sherry who called her and told her about this.


    This matter had triggered heated discussion and the stock price of the Conrad Group had been


    affected to some extent.


    Sherry swallowed salvia, seeming to be frightened, “Ste, will they me you for all of these? Can


    you escape now? Should I call the police and ask them to rescue you?”


    Ste thought it weird. It seemed like the disclosure was targeting her from the beginning, but it


    suddenly changed its target out of no reason and took aim at an illegitimate child.


    Both she and other members of the Conrad family were clear that illegitimate child had been the


    biggest barrier and reason for estrangement between rence and the other members of the Conrad


    family. And it was also the source of all the problems.


    When thinking of this, Ste shook her head, “Please help me observe the tendency of public opinion


    and this matter. If there’s any problem, please tell me in time.”


    She paused and continued, “And help me take care of Channing too.”


    “I see.” But Sherry was still worrying about Ste, “How’s this. You shall send me a message to prove


    that you’re safe once an hour. Only in this way can I make sure whether they have hurt you or not.”


    “Okay.”


    After ending the call, Sherry asked, “By the way, how is rence going to solve this problem?”


    Ste shook her head, “I don’t know. He went to thepany this morning and hasn’te back yet.”


    Sherry said, “I see. I will ask my friend about the current situation of the Conrad Group and I will reply if


    there’s news.”


    When Ste ended the call, Ste heard a loud sound from the study downstairs.


    It seemed like Dempsey was throwing temper tantrums and was smashing things.


    Ste clenched her phone tightly and only opened the door after taking a deep breath.


    When she was about to go downstairs, she bumped into Justin.


    Justin asked, “Ste, why are you going out sote?”


    Ste pressed her lips together, “This problem is caused by me. I want to …”


    “Ste, you don’t need to think too much of it. It’s not your fault.”


    Ste’s phone suddenly rang.


    It was a call from rence.


    Ste hesitated and then received the call. rence’s cold voice immediately sounded from the other


    end of the phone, “Stay in your bedroom. You’re not allowed to go anywhere. This matter has nothing


    to do with you.”


    Ste, “…”


    Did he install a surveince camera on her?


    After finishing the words, rence hung up the phone without waiting for Ste’s reply.


    Watching Ste put down her phone slowly, Justin chuckled, “Is it rence?”


    Ste nodded her head.


    “Just listen to him. He will solve all of these.”


    Ste didn’t say anything else and went back to her bedroom.


    It was true that she couldn’t help in this matter and she would at most be the one for them to vent their


    fits of anger if she went downstairs.


    But tonight’s matters were fishy.


    They were so closely linked.


    …


    Justin found Joanna in the garden. Looking at her back, Justin only spoke after a long while, “Mom.”


    Joanna turned around and it seemed like she was not surprised at all, “It’s sote now. Why do you


    ding me?”


    “Did you n that matter rted to rence?”


    Joanna curled her lips into a light smile, “Walls have ears. Maybe it’s because even God can’t bear it


    any longer.”


    Justin was a bit helpless, “It has already evolved to such a situation. Aren’t you afraid that it’s not


    chaotic enough?”


    “Why am I afraid of it? I’m just afraid that it will not be boisterous enough. You’ve suffered grievance for


    many years, can’t I vent the anger for you?” Joanna continued, “Moreover, I didn’t arrange this. I just


    stirred up the trouble.”


    Joanna was true. She was indeed not the dominant intriguer of this matter.


    This matter not only rted to the Conrad family’s reputation but also hers. Therefore, she didn’t take


    action even though she had thought of ruining rence’s reputation and status through this means.


    But now since someone had disclosed this, she just took the opportunity to guide the public opinion.


    Justin said, “But can you change anything by doing this?”


    “I would like to bring some troubles to him even though I can’t change anything.” Joanna stood up, “All


    right. Don’t involve in this matter. I will deal with it ording to the situations.”


    Annie, who hid in the darkness, bit her lower lip tightly.


    She hadn’t expected that rence was Dempsey’s illegitimate son, which meant that he had no blood


    rtion with her and he was not her real cousin.


    No wonder that Joanna didn’t like him since childhood. Annie had been thinking that this was because


    Joanna favored Justin before after he was crippled.


    But now she finally realized why Joanna asked her to call Justin ‘brother’, but call rence ‘cousin’.


    It turned out that he was just an illegitimate son.


    Since this was the case, why should she be afraid of him?


    Annie turned around and went upstairs to the second floor. Standing in front of Ste’s bedroom, she


    narrowed her eyes.


    …


    In the Conrad Group…


    The wholepany was enshrouded in an oppressive ambience in the face of this sudden negative


    news.


    Now no one cared about who the sugar daddy of that designer was and who the child’s father was.


    What they cared more about was the news that was indistinctly pointed out on the inte – rence,


    the CEO of the Conrad Group, might be an illegitimate son.


    As for a rumor of a rich family, the more obscure it was, the more curious the others were.


    In the CEO’s office…


    Nathan felt that her career was encountered by an unprecedentedly serious challenge. His back broke


    out into cold sweats, “Mr. Conrad, we can’t oppress the trending news and there are many negative


    comments and we can’t delete them all for the time being…”


    There was still no change in rence’s expression. He casually strolled the disclosures and said in a


    cold voice, “Do you find out the first discloser?”


    “Not yet.” Nathan replied in a low voice, “He used a fake identity and the IP address was in an inte


    bar. The surveince cameras in the vicinity didn’t get his face.”


    rence said in a calm voice, “Ste just divorced me half a year ago. But it seems like she has many


    enemies.”
