Chapter 558
Although rence looked displeased and exuded a cold aura, this didn’t dampen their cheerful moods
and the private room was prevailed by a delightful atmosphere.
Ste picked up a piece of cake and handed it to rence. When rence prepared to take the cake,
she suddenly wiped the cream on the corner of his lip, “Why do you always have a poker face? Smile.”
rence grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ear, “Didn’t you say we’re
going to have a date?”
Ste smiled and blinked at him, “Isn’t this a date?”
“A date is an activity between two persons.”
Ste pushed him, “All right. Don’t go too far. Theye here to celebrate your birthday, not to quarrel
with you.”
rence slightly raised his brows, “Do you prepare a birthday gift for me?”
His voice sounded husky and attractive.
Ste was lost for words.
Her face uncontrobly turned red as she replied in a low voice, “I… I haven’t decided on the gift. Let’s
talk about this aftering home.”
When Sherry and the others saw this scene, they quietly distanced themselves from them.
When Ste, Sherry and Winnie came to the toilet, Channing walked to rence with a gloomy face, “I
want to ask you a question.”
rence tapped his knees with his slender fingers and said in a t tone, “I know what you want to ask
me. It’s useless to tell you about this. I will solve the problem in one week.”
“So they were really…”
Channing suddenly realized that other people were also present, especially Daniel, who sat in a corner,
acting as if nothing was on his mind yet leaning his body towards them so that he could hear their
conversation more clearly.
Channing saw the news about the fire in the apartment on the Inte several days ago. He went to
the apartmentter and found although the things were all remained in the apartment, Dolores and the
baby were nowhere to be found.
Channing called Maxwell, but thetter just gave him an inexplicit exnation.
He had a hunch that something bad must have happened.
Therefore, he came to today’s birthday party with the purpose to ask rence about this matter
personally.
Channing knitted his brows tightly and slightly pressed his lips together.
Seeing this, Donald nudged Vincent, suggesting him say something to relieve the tensed-up
atmosphere.
Vincent took a sip of the wine, indicating Donald to do it himself.
After a while, Channing asked, “Will they be alright?”
“Yes.”
Channing didn’t say anything else. He turned around and left the private room.
Seeing this, Daniel hurriedly followed behind him.
After their leaving, Donald broke the silence, “What… What’s going on?”

Vincent said, “We found the man who gave Maxwell’s photo to that extra actress. He’s Dempsey’s
trusted subordinate. I guess we can’t find out anything from him temporarily.”
“Then what should we do now?”
rence lifted his chin and gulped down the wine in the ss indifferently. His expression was so cold
as if his face was covered by ayer of ice, “Even if he wants to keep it confidential strictly, we will find
a way to let him tell us about the truth.”
Donald subconsciously shivered when he heard the words.
rence had grown up in the Conrad family since childhood and the family was full of intrigues against
each other. Especially after taking control of the Conrad Group, if rence was not tough in doing
things, he would have be Dempsey’s puppet.
Nevertheless, ever since rence ruined the forces of the Conrads consecutively, Donald had never
such an expression on rence’s face again.
Vincent asked, “Do you still n not to tell Ste about this?”
rence slightly pressed his thin lips together. After several seconds of silence, he spoke, “Do you
think she would still hold the birthday party for me tonight if I told her about the truth before?”
After a short while of silence, Donald suppressed his grievance and said, “You can’t say this. After all, it
was me who put forward this.”
rence looked askance at him, “Oh?”
In the toilet…
Sherry looked towards Winnie gossipingly, “What’s going on between you and Channing?”
Winnie asked while washing her hand, “What do you mean?”
“I saw it just now. He picked up a piece of food and put it on your te. Something must have
happened between you two.”
Winnie retorted, “Daniel also put a piece of food onto your te.”
Sherry stammered, “Er…”
Winnie chuckled, “It was just a normal action. Nothing has happened between us. Moreover, he’s still a
university student and he’s six years younger than me. We won’t have any rtionship.”
Sherry frowned and pondered it for a while, “That makes sense.”
Ste coughed, extracted tissue and dried her hand, “I’ve been watching a TV series recently. I
remember the heroine is also several years older than the hero. But I think this TV series is so
intriguing.”
Both Winnie and Sherry were bewildered.
Since she had uttered the words, Ste could only brace herself and continued, “I…”
Sherry wrapped her arm around Ste’s, “Is it worth watching? To be honest, I’m also addicted to the
love between a woman and a younger man. What’s the title of that TV series! I will also watch it.”
Ste tried to maintain herposure, “I will send it to youter.”
“That’s great. I feel boring as I can’t find a good TV series recently.”
Winnie twitched her mouth, “You two…”
Sherry chuckled, “To be honest, Channing is handsome and has good performance in study. Aren’t
there the typical characteristics of a hero? Would you like to have a try with him? After all, as the old
saying goes, don’t let one’s fertile water flow into others’ fields. Actually, if it wasn’t that I and Channing
are so familiar with each other that I was like his sister since childhood, plus that I’m afraid that Ste
would give me a hard blow, I would have pursuit Channing.”
Ste was rendered speechless.
Knowing that Sherry was joking, Winnie chuckled and then said, “Well, then I will have a try.”
When they came back to the private room, Ste found Channing was not in the room and asked
rence, “Where’s Channing?”
rence replied, “He went out just now.”
Sherry asked, “Did Daniel go with him?”
rence replied with a nasal sound.
Ste was confused. Did Daniel and Channing go out for a private talk?
After a short while, Channing and Daniel came back to the private room in session.
As Sherry hadn’t beenpletely recovered, the doctor told her to have more rest. Therefore, after a
while, although Sherry was willing to leave, Daniel still took her back.
As Winnie had to attend an activity tomorrow, she also had to leave.
Channing also stood up, “I have toe back to school.”
Seeing his reaction, Ste curled her lips into a smile. She didn’t need to remind him this time and it
seemed like Channing had made great improvement in this aspect.
Donald was pulled out of the room by Vincent soon.
Now only Ste and rence were left in the room.
Ste was so sleepy that she could seldom open her eyes. She took out her phone to check the time
and found it was only five minutes to midnight.
She yawned, “Let’s go back too.”
rence suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her
waist, “Now it’s the time for solely belongs to us.”
Ste clicked her tongue, “Why are you so cheesy today?”
rence slightly raised his brows, “Aren’t I always like so?”
“So you admitted you’re so cheesy?”
rence was rendered speechless.
He asked, “I’m flirting with you, yet you think it’s cheesy?”
Ste curled her lips into a smile, wrapped her arms around his neck and quicklynded a kiss on his
thin lips, “Happy birthday.”
rence fixed his ck eyes on her and said slowly, “My birthday wish is that you can be by my side
on my every birthday.”
