Chapter 550


    When Ste arrived at the studio, she found Sherry was also there. Ste asked, “Why don’t you stay


    at home and rest for two more days?”


    Putting her head on the table, Sherry said weakly, “I feel so boring when staying at home. If I don’t


    come out, I feel like I’m about to have a depression.”


    Ste chucked and sat opposite her, “Where is Daniel?”


    “I don’t know. He said he woulde to pick me upter. But I hope he won’te.”


    “Did he live in your house in the past few days?”


    Sherry got angry when mentioning this and said indignantly, “I don’t know what he’s thinking every day.


    I thought I’ve made it clear, but he still stayed at my home cheekily. It’s really annoying that I can see


    him every day when I wake up.”

    Ste raised her brows. She didn’tment on it.


    Sherry heaved a sigh emotionally, “Ste, it has almost been half a month. Can you apany me to


    the hospital for an operation several dayster? I don’t want him toe with me.”


    Ste asked, “Does Daniel think so?”


    “He didn’t say it. But since he has been considering it for a long time, I think it’s a kind of acquiescence.


    I don’t want to dy it anymore. I guess he had to take care of me due to the baby. The earlier I have


    an abortion, the earlier we can get rid of each other.”


    Ste was suddenly lost for words. After a long while, she slightly pressed her lips together and said,


    “Okay.”


    Sherry continued, “Oh, you suddenlye to the studio, do you have any affair to deal with?”


    Ste took out the design drawings from her bag, “I need to send these drawings to the factory.”


    Some of the designs were for the fashion week, and some of them were the new arrivals for their


    studio.


    Sherry said, “Okay. I will send them to the factoryter. By the way, Ste, we have run the studio for a


    long time. When I stayed at home, I came up with an idea. Shall we open an online store? This will help


    promote our studio and develop our brand.”


    Ste nodded her head, “Okay.”


    “Then I will release a recruitment ad to find several employees for emerce.”


    Ste pondered for a while, “If we open an online store, the current studio will be too small for it.”


    Sherry also realized this problem. As for the construction of their studio, except for the store outside, it


    only had a lounge, an office and a tearoom. There was no enough space for them to store goods.


    If they wanted to open an online store, no matter what the sales volume would be, what they should do


    first was to ensure there were enough goods in the warehouse.


    Even if they couldn’t sell all the goods, they could expand the sales channels and sell themter. But if


    they only required the factory to produce the products after receiving the orders, the customers would


    have to wait and it would only damage their reputation.


    Sherry suddenly got an idea. When she looked towards Ste, she found Ste was also looking at her.


    They spoke simultaneously, “Shall we rent the adjacent store?”


    Ste and Sherry reached an agreement and immediately contacted the owner of the adjacent store.


    Ste was busy with this affair the whole afternoon. When they signed the contract, it was already in


    the evening.


    Sherry stretched outzily, “Ste, let’s go to eat hot pot.”


    Ste asked, “Can you eat it?”


    Sherry replied, “I’ve asked the doctor. It’s okay for me to eat some spicy food. I’ve eaten light dishes for


    several days and I really want to eat that. Please, eat hot pot with me.”


    Ste chuckled, “Okay.”


    She took out her phone and took a nce. rence still didn’t send her a message.


    Sherry nudged him, “Did Mr. Conrad ask where you are? You can invite him to have a hot pit together.


    As long as I can have the hot pot, I’m willing to do anything no matter how thrilling it is.”


    “It’s not so.” Ste made an exnation, “rence seemed to have a problem yesterday and he went


    to thepanyst night. He hasn’t contacted me yet. I don’t know about the situation.”


    Sherry eximed in shock and asked, “Would you like to go there to have a look?”


    Ste shook her head, “No need. I’ve asked Nathan and he told me it’s not a big deal. I guess rence


    must be at a meeting so that he doesn’t contact me. I will ask himter.”


    “All right. Then let’s go to the hot pot restaurant.”


    …


    In the Conrads’ Mansion…


    In the living room, as soon as the maids had taken the tableware to the kitchen, one of Dempsey’s


    subordinates hurried over and reported, “Master Conrad, there’s an emergency.”


    Dempsey stood up with the support of his crutch, “Don’t be too fussy. What’s the matter? Why are you


    so anxious?”


    “Second Young Master is back.”


    Dempsey’s expression remained unchanged. He asked, “Isn’t it a normal thing? Could it be that he


    comes back with some bombs?”


    Joanna, who sat next to him, had no expression on her face.


    His subordinate replied in a low voice, “He… Hees back with Miss Annie.”


    Dempsey was shocked, “What?”


    He thought Annie had died before. How could shee back?


    Joanna asked, “Did you see it clearly? Are you sure it’s Annie?”


    “Yes, I saw it clearly. It was really Miss Annie. It’s just that…”


    Dempsey hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Before his subordinate could answer the question, a voice came from the door. “Since you’re so


    curious, you can look by yourself and you will know the answer.”


    At the next second, rence showed up in the living room.


    Dempsey looked up following the sound. When he saw rence, there was apparent anger on his


    face. But when he saw Annie who was taken into the house by rence’s subordinate, he


    uncontrobly widened his eyes.


    Joanna’s expression changed dramatically, “What did you do to her?”


    Annie, who stood in front of them now, didn’t look as arrogant as before. Her hair was messy and there


    were wounds on her face, new or old. Every inch of her skin had injuries and one of her arms hung


    ckly by her side as if it had been broken. The most horrifying thing was that she was sitting in a


    wheelchair. Although there was a nket on her, it seemed like she had lost her legs.


    rence sat onto the sofa and said cidly, “Don’t be so anxious. I didn’t do anything to her.”


    rence lifted his hand and Nathan immediately walked over.


    Nathan said, “Annie was convicted of voluntary manughter and was sentenced for twenty years. She


    was then imprisoned in the Women''s Prison of Aqock. However, after being put into jail, Annie attacked


    and abused the prison guards and cellmates numerous times and even tried to escape from the prison.


    When she tried to escape, she jumped down from the third floor to get rid of the chasers and broken


    her legs and one of her arms. As she was seriously injured, the doctors finally decided to give her an


    amputation.”


    Even Joanna was clutched by a gush of chillness on the back. She looked towards rence, “You…


    You arranged all these, right?”


    rence snorted, “If it was arranged by me, she would not have only lost her legs.”


    Dempsey hit his crutch on the ground and cursed, “Ridiculous! You asshole!”


    “Asshole? Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself? Why didn’t she reflect on her mistakes after being


    imprisoned and even sassed the others? If she could realize her mistakes, she would not have


    suffered.”


    Dempsey said, “She’s your sister. You…”


    “Sister?” rence said slowly and cidly, yet his voice icy-cold, “When she pushed Ste down the


    stairs, she should have expected the possible consequences. Reasonably, she should pay it back with


    her life. Isn’t it enough that I still allow her to be alive?”
