Chapter 157
Before he finished his words, he pondered for a moment and then said to the housekeeper, “Go and
prepare a gift right now. I will go to the house of the Steward family to make an apology in the morning.”
In this situation, it was inevitable that the Steward family would turn against the Conrad family.
It was just that the problem was caused by rence, so if he took the opportunity to coborate with
the Steward family and show his goodwill, they might make peace with him.
If Charles was willing to coborate with him, he would regain the power of managing Conrad Group
again one day.
…
The next day, Ste decided to go to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine to resign after spending a night
thinking about it.
There was already a lot of criticism about her and SG Jewelry Magazine in the public, plus she had
been not working for a long time. If she continued to stay here, she would only bring negative influence
to thepany.
When Stanford received her resignation letter, he sighed as if he had expected it. Then, he only said,
“You can alwayse back to work in SG Jewelry Magazine.”
Ste nodded with a smile, “Thank you, Mr. Leif. Thanks for taking care of me and helping me during
this time.”
Stanford said, “When did I help you. Last week Sherry also asked me for resignation. What are your
next ns?”
Ste said, “Maybe we will open a studio. We haven’t thought of it deeply yet.”
“Okay. I know many people in the fashion industry. If you decide to open a studio, remember to let me
know and I will introduce you to some clients.
“Thank you, Mr. Leif.”
As Ste was about to leave, Stanford added, “SG Jewelry Magazine had already ordered Modesty to
stop working and delved into her matter. Now we just have to wait for the investigation results toe
out. Don’t worry, even if you leave, I will let you know the truth.”
“I have decided to let it go.” Ste paused for a moment before saying her words, “The only reason she
did all this was that she treated me as an imaginary enemy. After I leave SG Jewelry Magazine,
everything should be over."
"Ms. Radomil..."
Ste knew what Stanford wanted to say. She smiled lightly, “I’m not being forgiving either, I just owe
her a favor.”
Hearing her words, Stanford did not persuade her further. He nodded, “Since you have decided to let it
go, then we do not need to investigate the case further.”
The only thing was that SG Jewelry Magazine wouldn’t continue to hire Modesty as a worker as she
had such a personality.
After leaving Stanford’s office, Ste was just about to go home when she heard a group of people
gathered in the pantry discussing something.
“Hey, did you guys see the news? The marriage between rence and Phoebe is canceled. It’s said
that the reason is that Mr. Conrad is an illegitimate son.”
“Oh my God, is it real? Didn’t Conrad Group refute the rumours earlier?”
“It’s an official statement issued by Conrad Group. How can it be false? It clearly states that rence
cannot match the rich youngdy from the Steward family. If Mr. Conrad didn’t ask the worker to
publish such statement, who would dare to do so?”
“This statement is too astonishing. However, if Mr. Conrad is an illegitimate son, then who is his
mother? I never heard of any drama in the Conrad family that Mrs. Conrad was quarrelling with the
mistress also.”
“No one would know that… Butpared to this, I’m actually quite curious. Do you guys know that
what is the rtionship between Ms. Radomil and rence from the Conrad family?”
Ste who was just about to leave the office was speechless.
“I am also quite curious of this. This news is notplete at all. Is there any follow-up on this story?”
“Conrad Group is a family business. There are so many people rted to thepany. If she
appeared in the house of the Conrad family, it does not prove that she is rted to the people from the
Conrad family. Maybe she is only their rtive.”
“But then I think she is also quite powerful to get pregnant. I think she is going to have a better
position.”
“Isn’t that right? She is quitepetent to have a rtionship with someone from the Conrad family.”
“And that middle-aged woman who came to look for herst time looked like she came to catch Ste
cheating. Ste was not embarrassed to say the woman was her ex-husband’s mother, and she was
not afraid…”
Just when everyone was gossiping happily, the door to the pantry was suddenly opened.
Ste stood there with a cold look on her face.
The people who had just been discussing enthusiastically were all like roosters which had been
strangled, remaining silent.
Ste nced at them, “Why don’t you alle and ask me since you are so curious about my
rtionship with the Conrad family?”
The group of people could onlyugh dryly, not only how to answer her question.
After all, they wouldn’t have thought that Ste would hear them gossiping about her behind her back.
This was because they had thought that she wouldn’te to the office as she hadn’te to SG
Jewelry Magazine for a long time.
Ste said indifferently, “As I said before, the person who came to the office to look for me was my ex-
husband’s mother. Now I can also tell you that she is the wife of the chairman of the Conrad Group.”
The crowd was stunned. Did she say that she was the wife of the chairman of the Conrad Group? Then
wasn’t that…
Ste had no intention of waiting for them to make any kind of reaction either. After she finished
speaking, she strode and left the office.
The reason that she didn’t say anything before this was because she didn’t want to make her and
rence became the topic that everyone would discuss when they had their meal.
But now she regretted it. She had been married once only and she already felt shameful enough to
have that marriage, yet many people were saying that she was a mistress of a rich businessman.
She had already quit her job anyway, so she didn’t care what they would say if they knew she was
rence’s ex-wife.
After leaving the office, Ste let out a deep breath.
After taking two steps, she turned her head to look at the ce where she had worked for six months
and smiled with relief.
It was from here that she had started afresh six months ago. Standing there, she felt like she wanted to
say goodbye to the past.
She averted her gaze and strode forward.
She did not turn around to look at the ce again.

After two months, Sherryid on the sofa and stretched herself, “Finally it’s done. I feel exhausted after
busy doing this these two months.”
Steughed, “Alright, let’s take a break and eat something.”
When she heard of eating, Sherry instantly became energetic, “My friend rmended a Hunan
restaurant to me. Let’s go there. Hey, by the way. Is Chan having winter break now? Ask him to join
us.”
“Yes, he’s having a holiday now, but it seems like he’s still working part-time at the cafe. Let me ask
him.”
Ste grabbed her bag and texted Channing while taking her keys and closing the door, “Let’s go.”
In the past two months, she and Sherry had been busy preparing for the opening of the studio. They
had a hard time finalizing the shop they would be renting and doing the renovation.
But the good thing was that they had finally got everything done before the opening of their studio.
They realized that one had to be busy and shouldn’t think about all the nonsense to enrich himself or
herself
When they arrived at the Hunan restaurant, Sherry asked after ordering the food, “How is it? Will Chan
come?”
Ste put down her mobile phone, “He said he was on the morning shift today and he woulde over
later.”
When Sherry heard Ste mentioning Channing, she couldn’t help but try to ask for his matter, “Eh,
Channing has been in college for half a year. Hasn’t he fallen in love with anyone?”
