Chapter 284


    When he said it like that, Ste felt a little embarrassed and blushed a little, “I am not a kid who needs


    yourpany.” After that she said, “Okay then, I am hanging up.”


    At the end, she quickly added, “Good night!”


    After Ste hung up the phone, rence slowly put down his phone and his lips curled into a slight


    smile.


    At this time, a young woman walked up to rence from behind, “Mr. Conrad, the doctor said that the


    baby’s fever has subsided and he has just fallen asleep.”


    rence hummed in response and walked into the bedroom next to him.


    In the bedroom, the doctor had just left and Dolores was sitting next to the crib looking very much


    distressed.


    After a while, rence slowly said, “It is just a little fever and cold. It’s normal.”


    Dolores sighed silently. The little guy’s physique was much worse than other children of his age. During


    the first two months of his birth, he had suffered from a serious and minor illnesses alike which didn’t let


    her feel at ease. However,pared to before, it was really much better.


    Dolores looked at the crib. The little guy wasn’t sleeping well and there was a fever reducing patch on


    his forehead. He looked very small.


    She said, “Until when are you going to hide Channing?”


    rence stood on the side, with one hand in his trouser pocket. He pursed his lips and then said, “It


    will soon be over.”


    Dolores said, “Anyway, you can figure it out on your own. I won’t be helping you persuade her. this


    incident was originally your fault.”


    rence didn’t say anything.


    Dolores looked at him, “Everything is fine here, you can go back.”


    Soon, rence’s voice sounded, “Joanna is looking for you.”


    Hearing this, Dolores was taken aback for a moment. Then her expressions became indifferent, “What


    for?”


    rence retracted his gaze, looking anywhere but her and said lightly, “Nothing much. Just trying to


    use my identity of being an illegitimate child and trying to raise up a storm again, that’s all.”


    Dolores face changed slightly, “re, what happened back then was not…”


    “I don’t care what happened back then.” rence said coldly, “I only want her to pay for what she did.”


    “How can I help you?”


    ……


    The incident caused by Selina waspletely over. Not only did the studio remained unaffected, but it


    got more popr and many well-known jewelry bloggers contacted them for advertising coborations.


    Even SG Jewelry Magazine published a special piece showcasing the designs by the studio.


    In less than half a month, the studio’s orders increased sharply.


    Sherry fell on the sofa extremely tired, “There are too many orders, and Chan has started school again.


    It looks like we have to recruit more people.”


    Ste replied as she sorted out the orders, “Don’t worry, I have already posted a job ad online.


    Someone wille for the interview.”


    Hearing this, Sherry’s spirits soared again, “Really?”


    Ste nodded, about to answer, but she noticed an envelope among the bunch of orders.


    She picked up the envelope and looked at it. Her expressions changed when she opened it.


    Upon not hearing her voice, Sherry looked at her, “Ste, what’s the matter?”


    Ste put down the letter and shook her head, “Nothing. It’ste, let’s go back.”


    Sherry got up from the sofa, “Okay.”


    On the way back, Sherry said, “Oh, right! I haven’t seen that wretched… I mean I haven’t seen


    rencee to meet youtely.”


    “He has been busy with the Steward group’s matter. He went on a business tripst week, still hasn’t


    come back.”


    Sherry couldn’t help but sigh, “Reunion after a brief parting is as sweet as a honeymoon.”


    Ste was lost in her thoughts and didn’t say anything.


    Sherry thought she was being weird. When she used to make such jokes before, Ste always got


    embarrassed and told her to stop talking nonsense.


    But today, she didn’t react at all.


    Sherry asked tentatively, “Ste, what is the matter with you? Are you not feeling well?”


    Ste withdrew from the train of her thoughts and pressed her temples with her fingers, “I feel a little


    dizzy.”


    “Do you want to buy some medicine?”


    “No need. I just need to sleep then I will be fine.”


    Sherry said, “Alright then, I will drive faster.”


    After returning home, Ste went straight to her bedroom without even washing up.


    Sherry scratched her head and poured a ss of water.


    In the room, Ste sat at her desk and took out the envelope from her purse.


    Inside the envelope, there were several photos and a ckmail letter.


    When she saw those photos, Ste couldn’t help but turn pale. Her fingertips trembled slightly.


    Three years ago, she was sent to the twilight Club that night and after struggling desperately she was


    finally able to escape the room and met rence.


    But…


    She did not expect that photos of what happened before she escaped the room were taken.


    The ckmail letter said that she had to prepare five million yuan and bring them to the designated


    address tomorrow.


    Ste took a deep breath and put the photos back into the envelope.


    After thinking for a long time, she took out her cellphone and called rence.


    Soon, the man’s deep voice came, “What’s up?”


    “I… can’t sleep. Are you busy?”


    rence said softly, “In a meeting. I will call you after it ends.”


    Ste said, “Don’t bother. I will be asleep after you finish. Continue your work.”


    Saying that Ste hung up the phone.


    After a while, the door of her room was knocked and Sherry’s voice came, “Ste, are you asleep?”


    Ste got up and opened the door, “Not yet.”


    Sherry handed her a cup of warm water, “I am making some porridge. It will be done in a while. would


    you like to eat some before sleeping?”


    Ste epted the cup and shook her head.


    Seeing herplexion look weird, Sherry said, “Ste, you… did something happen? Did that


    wretched man cheat again? Tell me, I will help you curse him out!”


    Hearing this, Ste smiled, “No, I am just not feeling well.”


    Seeing that Ste insisted on wanting to share, Sherry didn’t press too much and just said, “Well then,


    you should sleep early.”


    “Okay.”


    Ste turned around and was about to close the door, but she hesitated for a few seconds and then


    said, “Sherry.”


    Sherry turned around, “What?”


    “I…”


    Ste didn’t know how to say it.


    No matter how much time had passed, the things that happened at the Twilight Club were horrible


    nightmares that she didn’t want to remember.

    She didn’t know how these photos suddenly appeared after all these years, nor did she know who was


    holding on to these photos. All of her forgotten anxiety and fear seemed to have resurfaced from the


    moment she saw those photos.


    After a long time, she said, “Go somewhere with me tomorrow.”


    Sherry was a bit startled when she heard this, but she did not ask much and nodded, “Okay.”


    Under normal circumstances, Ste would have told her everything. Generally, what Ste didn’t want


    to say was either something she didn’t know how to say or something unspeakable.


    Sherry knew she had to wait until tomorrow to find out.
