Chapter 250


    After Emmett finished his words, Madison’s face kept changing between red and livid. She felt


    extremely embarrassed.


    Logan looked at her meaningfully. Then he said to Emmett, “I see. Mr. Carter, I’ll visit you alone in the


    near future. I’m not holding you up today. Nice meeting you.”


    Then he turned to Ste and nodded at her, “Ms. Radomil, see you around.”


    After Logan left, Madison red at Ste in anger, “Are you two in collusion? You deliberately


    embarrassed me, didn’t you?”


    Ste asked in amusement, “Did I invite you here?”


    “You...” Madison bit her bottom lip tightly, “Wait and see!”


    After that, she stomped violently, turned around, and strode away.


    Emmett withdrew his gaze. He looked at Ste, “Ste, she’s always like this. Just ignore her.”


    Ste faintly smiled, “I know.”


    Madison came here to sicken her on purpose. If she got angry, wouldn’t she have fulfilled Madison’s


    wish?


    After a moment, Ste asked, “What brought you here, Emmett?”


    Emmett pressed his lips and said, “Ste, tomorrow Mr. Thomas will hold a birthday banquet. He wants


    me to take you to attend it.”


    Ste was a bit taken aback, “Me?”


    “Yes,” Emmett said, “If you are not willing to attend it, it’s alright. I can make an excuse to tell him that I


    can’t make it.”


    “Please don’t...” Ste thought for a moment and asked, “What time tomorrow?”


    Thest time she went to Cameron’s house for dinner, and she hadn’t had any chance to thank him


    yet. Now Cameron invited her to attend his birthday banquet. She couldn’t have any reason to turn him


    down.


    Besides, if Emmett wouldn’t attend it because of her, it would be quite embarrassing.


    Emmett breathed a sigh of relief secretly, “At seven tomorrow evening. I’ll pick you up at six o’clock.”


    Ste nodded slightly, “Okay.”


    Since Emmett had other things to deal with, he didn’t stay in the studio long. Soon, he left.


    Ste stood motionlessly for a while. After heaving a sigh, she bent over to pick up the ne that


    was tossed on the ground by Madison.


    Soon, Sherry came back. With a gossiping expression, she said, “I saw Emmett’s car has just left.


    What did he say to you?”


    Ste answered, “He invited me to go to a birthday banquet with him tomorrow.”


    “A birthday banquet? Whose banquet is it?”


    It would be quiteplicated for Ste to exin clearly. At least she needed to mention Annie.


    Ste briefed the story, and Sherry was enlightened. Then she hit the nail on the head, “That means


    rence the wretched man was also there when you went to the old man’s house. He knows that old


    man. I’m sure he will also be in the birthday banquet tomorrow evening.”


    Ste was speechless.


    She wondered why she hadn’t thought about it earlier.


    Sherry made hay while the sun shone, “Ste, have you made up your mind?”


    Ste didn’t get it, “On what?”


    “Of course it’s on your choice between Emmett Carter and rence Conrad. Which one would you


    choose?”


    Ste parted her lips, but she couldn’t utter a word.


    Sherry put her arms on the cashier machine, supporting her cheeks, “If I were you, it would be quite


    difficult for me to choose as well. One is the ex-husband who has realized the love and started


    pursuing you, and the other is the business young talent who had been secretly admiring you for six or


    seven years.”


    Ste said crossly, “What nonsense are you talking about?”


    After a long moment of silence, she continued, “I’ve considered trying to start with Emmett, but...”


    “But you’ve realized that rence the wretched man was the man whom you like truly. Also, you don’t


    think you could let go of those things that happened between you two and you can’t be reconciled with


    him. Right?”


    Ste didn’t nod until a long timeter.


    Sherry heaved a sigh, “I’m not experienced in such a matter, so I can’t give you any practical


    suggestions. However, please don’t rush to make your decision. Probably there would be better men in


    the future. You should be patient and cast your widely. You can’t miss any good big fish.”


    Steughed, “Yes, I agree with you.”


    Sherry patted her on the shoulder, “Good. That’s what you should be like. You are a ygirl. How can


    you give up the whole forest just because of a single tree?”

    After arriving home in the evening, Ste took a shower and came out of the bathroom. She was


    fumbling for something while bending over next to the desk. By ident, she knocked over a gift box


    next to it, and something dropped.


    Ste turned around and saw the frame of best wishes was lying on the carpet.


    Her temples popped. Then she squatted down to pick up the frame.


    In the photo, rence slightly bent over. He tilted his head while talking to her. His face looked rarely


    tender.


    But the premise should be if Ste hadn’t remembered what he was whispering in her ears at that time.


    She stared at the photo for a while, then put the frame back into the box. Then she put the box at the


    bottom of the closet.


    After it was done, Ste wanted to heat a ss of milk. Her cell phone on the desk started ringing.


    She walked over and cast a nce. Thought of the devil and he came.


    Ste didn’t swipe to answer the call after several secondster, “Hello, Mr. Conrad. It’s sote now.


    What’s up?”


    “I miss you.”


    “Mr. Conrad, if you don’t have anything else, I’ve gotta go.”


    rence said, “Ste, to be police, you should answer ‘I miss you, too’ instead of making an excuse.”


    Ste was reluctant to show weakness, “To be police, I don’t think you should make such a call, Mr.


    Conrad.”


    After a moment of silence, rence continued, “It’s just a prologue. I have something else to talk to


    you about.”


    Ste let out a hollowugh, “Mr. Conrad, if you need to talk about something with me next time, you


    can speak directly. You don’t need such a scary prologue.”


    rence pressed his thin lips and said, “Attend an event with me tomorrow evening.”


    “I’m sorry but I have an appointment already.”


    “Cancel it.”


    “I can’t.”


    rence asked unhappily, “You don’t want to see me so much, do you?”


    Ste opened the window to get some fresh air, “If I admitted it, will you stop showing up in front of me,


    Mr. Conrad?”


    “Do you think it’s possible?”


    Ste choked up.


    The wretched man answered so naturally, and Ste was amazed.


    She said, “Mr. Conrad, I need to go to bed now. See you.”


    After that, she hung up the phone directly.


    The CEO’s office, Conrad Group.


    Listening to the beeps on the phone, rence creased his handsome brows. He asked in a cold tone,


    “When was Mr. Thomas’s invitation sent here?”


    Nathan answered, “About two hours ago...”


    “When did Emmett go to her studio?”


    “Probably four or five hours ago.”


    rence pressed his thin lips and didn’t speak.


    It meant that Emmett got to know about Mr. Thomas’s birthday banquet earlier than he did.


    Moreover, Emmett went to see Ste and invited her to be his date earlier than he did.


    Nathan added, “Mr. Conrad, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Carter are close to each other, so it’s normal for Mr.


    Cater to know it earlier.”


    rence gently knocked on the desk with his fingers, “Will Charles Steward attend it tomorrow


    evening?”


    “ording to our investigation, he will.”
