Chapter 305


    Dempsey left the office angrily. Nathan then knocked at the door of the CEO’s office.


    rence stood up and then walked towards the office desk, “Come in.”


    Nathan put a document on the desk, “Mr. Conrad, this is the minutes of the meeting just now. And


    here’re some documents that requires your signature.”


    Nathan replied with an indifferent nasal sound.

    Nathan couldn’t help but asked, “Why does Old Master Conrad suddenly think of arranging your


    marriage?”


    rence sneered when he heard the words. He opened the document in front of him and said in an


    indifferent voice, “Is there any other reason? He’s afraid that Ste will unite with me to fight against


    him once she’s proved that she’s a member of the Steward family, so naturally he can’t remain


    composed any longer.”


    “He got the news so quickly…”


    rence narrowed his ck eyes. He didn’t say anything else.


    Probably Dempsey had been keeping an eye on the bidding of the Steward Group and wanted to take


    advantage of a weak point.


    Therefore, rence wasn’t surprised that he would get the news immediately.


    rence asked, “Have you found Jeffrey?”


    Nathan felt a bit guilty, “Haven’t. He’s so good at hiding himself. We’ve already arranged some men in


    various underground gambling house, yet it seems like he has perceived it and he never shows up


    again.”


    rence rubbed his nose bridge, “Never mind, drop this matter now. Find out how he managed to


    escape from the prison. He wouldn’t have achieved it by himself.”


    “Mr. Conrad, do you mean that someone helped him before?”


    “Jeffrey won’t disappear out of no reason. If he can control his desire to gamble, it won’t progress to


    today’s situation.”


    Nathan slightly nodded his head, “I will investigate it now.”


    “Hold on.”


    When Nathan prepared to leave, rence stopped him.


    Nathan asked, “Mr. Conrad, do you have any other instruction?”


    rence licked his thin lips and said slowly, “Don’t tell Ste about this.”


    Nathan suppressed hisughter and replied in a serious tone, “Okay.”


    It seemed like Mr. Conrad had be more and more experienced in pursuing his wife and his efforts


    were not in vain.


    After Nathan’s leaving, rence took out his phone and called Vincent. He said in a t tone, “How’s


    it?”


    “I’ve been watching it. He came home after the ending of the bidding and had no other weird behavior.”


    “What about Daniel?”


    “He directly went home too.”


    rence curled his lips into a smile. It seemed like these people were patient enough.


    Vincent continued, “ording to my investigation, there’s no information about William’s daughter in


    his information. In other words, maybe he doesn’t have a daughter, or maybe…”


    “He thinks she has died.”


    At the other end of the phone, Vincent paused. After a long while, he said, “If that’s the case, Ste is


    probably… Does he…”


    rence interrupted him, “It’s early to talk about this matter. Continue to watch it and tell me


    immediately if there’s any information.”


    …


    In the studio…


    Ste had been staying in her office aftering back to the studio and looking at the pocket watch in


    a trance, seeming to be pondering something.


    She inexplicably had a feeling that she was so close to the truth as if it was within her reach.


    And Cameron probably knew everything.


    After a long while, there came some knocking sounds on the door. Sherry popped out her head from


    behind the door. Ste immediately put down the pocket watch, “Sherry, what’s the matter?”


    Sherry asked, “Are you drawing?”


    Ste shook her head and pressed her temples, “Not yet.”


    Sherry waved the hand. There were a cup of milk tea and some desserts in her hand. She said, “Look


    what I bring to you. Eat them first and then continue with your work.”


    Sherry put the food on Ste’s office desk and said, “I have to go out to shoot somethingter and I


    have to go to have a look at the houses in the evening, so I will note back to the studio and you


    will go back alone. Be careful.”


    “Okay.”


    Sherry asked, “Ste, when will you move there?”


    Ste replied, “Two dayster.”


    Sherry heaved a long sigh secretly and suddenly thought of something, “Does Channing know about


    this?”


    “I haven’t told him about this yet. Please don’t tell him either. Let’s wait for a period.”


    Sherry said, “Rest assured. I will keep this for you. I promise I will not tell him about this.”


    When speaking, Sherry made an action of closing the zip on her mouth.


    She then said, “Ste, eat them first. I have to go out now. You don’t need to care about the matters in


    the store as Natalie and other employees will deal with it. You can focus on your own business.”


    After Sherry’s leaving, the office was prevailed by silence again.


    Ste took a deep breath, turned on herputer and began to draw designs.


    Time flew by. When she lifted her head again, she found the sky had already gotten dark.


    Ste took a nce at her phone and found it was already nine o’clock.


    She turned her neck left and right and walked out of the office.


    The employees in the studio had already gotten off the work and she was the only one left here. Ste


    walked to the tearoom to pour some water. Just as she took a sip of the water, she heard some


    footsteps from the door. She subconsciously thought that it was rence and said without turning


    around, “You can wait for me outside. I will finish it soon.”


    “Ste.”


    It was Emmett’s voice.


    Ste was a bit stunned and then immediately put down the ss and turned around.


    Standing at the door, Emmett smiled at her, “Have you finished your work?”


    Ste gently nodded her head.


    Emmett pressed his lips, “Ste, are you free now? I want to treat you a meal.”


    “What?” Ste was a bit stunned. When she prepared to answer the question, a cold voice sounded,


    “Now that Mr. Carter has invited us with hospitality, how will we refuse it?”


    Emmett, “…”


    Standing beside Emmett, rence looked tall and strong. He nced over and said with a light smile,


    “How coincident. Every time when Mr. Carter wants to treat Ste a meal, I will be here. Looks like I


    have the gourmet’s luck.”


    Emmettughed drily and looked towards Ste again. Recalling what she said when he just entered


    the door, he flickered his eyes and said, “Mr. Conrad, as long as you don’t look down on it, what’s the


    big deal to treat you a meal?”


    rence said, “Then Mr. Carter, please wait outside. We wille out soon.”


    Emmett nodded his head absent-mindedly, turned around and walked out of the studio.


    Ste looked towards rence unhappily, “What are you doing?”


    rence raised his brows, “Are you going to have dinner with him alone?”


    “I…”


    Of course she didn’t n to do so. It was just that she had a hunch that Emmett came here to tell her


    something.


    But this wretched man made a fuss before she could figure it out.


    rence said, “I will go with you.”


    “Don’t make a fuss. Apparently he wants to tell me something. How will he tell me if youe with


    me?”


    “If it’s a righteous matter, will he fear that others will learn about it?”


    Ste, “…”


    This wretched man was really good at preposterous argument.


    He could even persuade others that a dead creature was actually alive.


    Ste picked up the key, took a nce at Emmett who was waiting for them outside and then reminded


    rence in a low voice, “You can go with me. But try to speak as less as possible. Never mind… Don’t


    speak. You’re not allowed to utter a single word!”
