Chapter 279


    Sherry leaned against the door and said weakly, “It’s awesome to have some spiritual food. I also want


    it.”


    Ste turned around and smiled, “You are awake. Go tidy yourself up. Breakfast is ready.”


    Sherry yawned and hummed to answer. Then she walked towards the bathroom.


    Ste filled tes and bowls with breakfast. Then she got one portion in the lunch box for Channing so


    that he could have it in the studio.


    After breakfast, Sherry said, “Ste, I’m going downstairs to get the car ready.”


    “Okay. Go ahead. I’ll be right there.”


    Ste changed her clothes. When she was about to walk out, she saw herself in the mirror. Then she


    took a few steps back, pulled the lipstick from her purse, and put it on gently.


    When she arrived downstairs and stood at the entrance of themunity waiting for Sherry, a ck


    Rolls-Royce was parked in front of her.


    The car window was gradually pressed down. She saw the man’s handsome and aloof face.


    rence stared at her, tilting his head, “Get in.”


    Ste shook her head, “I’m waiting for Sherry.”


    “You two are always together. Why do you need to wait for her?”


    Right then, the was a car behind the Rolls-Royce, and it honked.


    Ste looked around but didn’t find Sherry’s car. Also, the wretched man didn’t seem to have the


    intention to give up. She pulled the door of the passenger seat open and sat in. Then she pulled out her


    cell phone to call Sherry.


    rence drove the car to the roadside and pulled it over. He cast a nce at the lunch box on herp,


    reached out, and took it over.


    Ste didn’t pay attention while calling Sherry, so it was grabbed by him.


    rence opened the lunch box while asking, “Is it for me?”


    “Wait...”


    Before Ste denied it, he had already opened the lunch box. He picked one piece up and bit it.


    Ste said crossly, “It’s for Chan.”


    rence didn’t care at all. After finishing one piece, he said, “He’s so grown up. He wouldn’t starve to


    death if skipping breakfast.”


    The wretched man could always make excuses, couldn’t he?


    After finishing the food, rence put the lunch box into the bag, “You can make less tomorrow. I’m


    quite stuffed.”


    Ste was speechless.


    Inwardly, she couldn’t help cursing him. He could have stopped eating if he couldn’t finish it, couldn’t


    he?


    rence slightly curled up his lips. He started the engine again and said calmly, “Shall I pick you up in


    the evening?”


    Ste asked, “Where will we go then?”


    “Where do you want to go?”


    Ste answered intentionally, “I will want to go home.”


    rence cast her a nce from the corner of his eyes. He said meaningfully, “I won’t object to it.”


    Ste closed her eyes, inhaling deeply. She wasn’t in the mood to talk to him any longer.


    Soon, the ck car was pulled over in front of her studio.


    Ste unfastened the seat belt, “Have a good day.”


    The man’s slender fingers knocked on the steering wheel. He stared at her in silence.


    Ste paused, looking into his eyes in confusion, “Why are you staring at me?”


    rence raised his eyebrows slightly, “You look gorgeous today.”


    Ste fell into the silence. Then she asked, “Am I not always gorgeous?”


    “No, you are not whenever you’re with Emmett Carter.”


    Ste hurriedly pulled the door open to get off. She walked into the studio without looking back.


    The amusement in rence’s eyes became deeper. When her figure disappeared from his sight, he


    withdrew his gaze and drove away.


    After Ste walked into the studio, she found that Sherry was sitting at the front desk, lost in thought.


    She asked, “Sherry, when did you arrive? I called you earlier but the call couldn’t be connected.”


    Sherry answered, “I saw the Rolls-Royce as soon as I went downstairs. Why? Am I not considerate?”


    Ste raised her hand, rubbing her eyebrows, “I’m going to my office now. Call me if you need any


    help.”


    As she spoke, Ste walked towards her office. She pulled out her cell phone and ordered breakfast for


    Channing.


    In the afternoon, Steward Group came out with some solutions for the problems of its project. They


    punished several senior executives. After that, using the power of capital, the group suppressed public


    opinions.


    As for the grudge between Phoebe and Ste, they gave a brief exnation that it was relevant to their


    personal lives. They didn’t make an apology or feel any sense of guilt.


    Since the fact that Ste used to be rence’s ex-wife was exposed, the public knew what had


    happened among them. Ste was the ex-wife, and Phoebe used to be the former fiancee. Nobody


    would believe that they could get along with each other.


    After the news came out, Sherry said, “The Steward family is so capable. After such a big incident


    happened, they only punished a few senior executives. It seems that before long, when the incident is


    over, everything will be all right again.”


    Next to her, Channing said indifferently, “People’s memories are short. They will always be attracted by


    fresh things.”


    Ste pressed her lips and didn’t speak.


    Her intuition told her that this incident wasn’t so simple and it hadn’t been over yet.


    If Daniel’s n was only to get Steward Group to be impacted by the public opinion, they shouldn’t


    have nned such a huge arrangement.


    Right then, Emmett showed up at the gate.


    After a moment of silence, he asked, “Ste, may I have a private talk with you, please?”

    Ste nodded and walked out of the studio with him.


    It was office hour, so there were limited passersby on the street.


    Emmett and Ste walked shoulder-by-shoulder along the street. After a long while, Emmett said,


    “Ste, I must apologize for what happened that night. I knew you like rence Conrad, but I still had a


    fluke idea to ask you to go home with me.”


    Ste asked, “Have you exined to your parents?”


    Emmett nodded, “Yes. I’ve told them everything bluntly.”


    “Did they me you?”


    “No, they didn’t.” Emmett looked in distance, “They asked me to think it through.”


    As he spoke, Emmett stopped walking and turned to look at her, “I’ve thought it over, Ste. Let’s keep


    being friends from now on. I wish you happy.”


    Ste parted her lips. With a smile, she said, “Thank you, Emmett.”


    “Mr. Conrad is kind of arrogant, but I have to admit that he’s a super capable man. Otherwise, he


    wouldn’t have forced the Conrad family into such a circumstance now. He’ll surely take good care of


    you if you marry him,” said Emmett, “Well, I’ve got to go now. See you, Ste.”


    When Emmett took a few steps, Ste suddenly stopped him.


    He turned around, “What’s the matter?”


    Ste originally wanted to ask him about the Steward family. However, when the words reached the tip


    of her tongue, she just shook her head, “Nothing. Thank you for being so kind to me in the past few


    weeks.”


    Emmett answered, “You are wee, Ste. I’m quite happy to be with you in the past few weeks.”


    After Emmett was gone far, Ste turned around and was about to go back to her studio, but she saw a


    figure not far away. It seemed that the person was deliberately hiding from her.


    Ste couldn’t help but frown. She slowly put her hand into her coat pocket, pinching her cell phone


    tightly.
