Chapter 561


    In the Conrad Group…


    Vincent James pushed open the door of the office and said while walking into the office, “Nathan told


    me that you’re looking for me for some matters.”


    Sitting in front of the office desk, rence said without even looking up, “Wait for a minute.”


    Vincent sat down on the sofa in repose with his eyes closed.


    Both rence and Vincent hadn’t had a good rest over the past few days.


    Ten minutester, rence walked towards him and sat down, “I remember that you’re from Riverside


    City.”


    Vincent slowly opened his eyes when he heard the words, “Yes. What’s the matter?”


    rence asked, “How much do you know about the James family?”


    Vincent was stunned as he didn’t expect him to ask this question. He then replied, “Why do you


    suddenly…”


    “This matter probably has something to do with that family in Riverside City.”


    “Do you mean the matter that the baby was taken back to the Conrad family?” Vincent knitted his


    brows, “I think it doesn’t make sense. What’s the reason for the James family to do this?”


    rence said faintly, “No matter whether this matter was nned by them or not, based on the current


    situation, it’s safe to say that the James family must have something to do with it.”


    Vincent asked after a short while of silence, “What do you want to know?”


    “Everything you know.”


    Vincent said slowly, “The James family has lived in Riverside City for generations. Along with the


    family’s development and expansion, some of its descendants engaged inmerce, some of them


    engaged in police and some became soldiers. The family gradually became the biggest family in


    Riverside and became iparable both in wealth and power.”


    “However, the James family has an unwritten rule: the descendants of the family are not allowed to


    leave Riverside lifetime. If one chooses to leave the city, it will be regarded as cutting the ties with the


    James family and that person is not allowed to step into Riverside again. The James family will not care


    about it no matter that person will live happily or die miserably.”


    “But the family was so big that it gradually developed many branches along with its history and the


    kinship was therefore weakened. As they didn’t take the rule seriously, that unwritten rule was gradually


    forgotten. However, I heard that the lineal descendants of the James family are still abiding by that


    rule.” Vincent added.


    rence just looked at him silently.


    Vincent was bewildered.


    He exined, “Don’t think too much. I’m not a member of the James family. My parents went to City N


    and settled here many years ago and I don’t have any rtives or friends in Riverside. It’s meaningless


    for me toe back to the city.”


    rence slowly tapped his knees with his fingers, “Go on.”


    “Where were we just now? Oh…Bancroft James, the patriarch of the James family, had passed away.


    The one taking charge of the family now is Darnell James, Bancroft’s grandson. I haven’t seen him, but


    there have been many rumors about Darnell over the years. Anyway… Don’t provoke him if it’s


    unnecessary.”


    rence asked, “Is that all?”


    Vincent threw up his hand, “That’s all.”


    At the next moment, he continued, “To be honest, although I haven’t seen Darnell before, I’m sure that


    this matter must have nothing to do with the James family. Riverside is far away from City N and


    Darnell won’t provoke you and seek troubles for himself.”


    Right at this moment, Maxwell walked into the office. “Mr. Conrad, he confessed everything. Ms.


    Anderson and Little Noah are in the backyard of the Conrads’ Mansion.”


    …


    In the hospital…


    Although Sherry was very scared, she had made up her mind.


    Sitting on a chair with her eyes closed, she grabbed Ste’s hand tightly.


    The TV next to them was ying the report of a piece of news.


    “Early in this morning, someone found a woman’s dead body under the bridge. ording to the


    investigation, the victim’s surname is Byron and she died at 15:19 yesterday. This case is still under


    investigation and we will report the follow-upter. Now let’se to the next news…”


    After a short while, a nurse called Sherry’s name, “Sherry Perry.”


    Sherry subconsciously stood up.


    The nurse said, “Follow me, please. I will lead you to have the examination.”


    Sherry took a deep breath and then stepped forward.


    Ste grabbed her hand, “Sherry…”


    Sherry smiled andforted her, though she was the one who needed constion the most, “It’s okay.


    It’s just a small operation and it will be finished in a blink of the eye.”


    Ste felt it hard to force a smile.


    When Sherry left the room, Ste took out her phone to check the time.


    She sent a message to Daniel beforeing to the hospital, telling him that Sherry came to the


    hospital and asked him to make the decision. He shoulde here if he wanted to keep the child, of


    course, he didn''t have toe here if he didn’t want the child.


    Now it seemed that Sherry’s hunch was true.


    Daniel would probably not game.


    Ste heaved a sigh. When she prepared to put her phone back into her pocket, a piece of news


    suddenly popped out.


    It was about a murder case.


    Ste pressed her temples. She didn’t know why there were many frenzied and cruel people in this


    world.


    Sherry finished the examination soon and the result should the indicators were all normal, which meant


    she could have an operation.


    Ste sent her to the operation room. She didn’t know what she should say.


    Sherry, on the contrary, felt much relieved when being sent here. “They said it will be done soon. Ste,


    just wait for me outside and I will go out soon. Let’s have a hot pot tonight.”


    Ste’s eyes became red. She smiled bitterly andint, “Are you a fool. You’re not allowed to eat


    that.”


    “s, what a pity. I have a good appetite now.”


    The nurse urged her, “Pleasee in.”


    Sherry replied, “Okay.”


    She waved at Ste, “Wait for me on the bench. See youter.”


    When Sherry was sent into the operation room, Ste lowered her head and heaved a long sigh.


    Ste turned around. When she prepared to go out to buy some water, she noticed a person was


    hopping around in the hall.


    Ste quickly walked over, “Daniel.”


    Daniel turned around, panting, “Where’s Sherry.”


    Ste pointed at the operation room, “There.”


    Daniel immediately ran towards the room.


    Ste hurriedly followed him.


    When Daniel ran to the operation room, he found the door had been closed.


    Daniel banged the door, “Sherry! Sherry Perry, who allowed you toe here? Go out!”


    The noise caused many people’s attention and they surrounded Daniel to watch the show.


    A nurse walked over, “What are you doing? Don’t you know you’re in the hospital?”


    Daniel slightly pressed his thin lips together and his whole body tensed up.


    Ste said, “Don’t be so anxious. She was just sent into the room and the operation probably hasn’t


    started.”


    She turned around to look at the nurse, “My friend is in the operation room. Can you please let her


    come out?”


    Seeing that Daniel would not give up easily and fearing that he would continue to make a fuss, the


    nurse replied, “I will go in and ask about her opinion.”


    “Thank you.”


    The nurse came out two minutester, “The patient sent into the room just now has finished the


    operation.”

    Ste asked in astonishment, “But she was just sent into the operation room five minutes ago…”


    “I don’t know. Anyway, the operation has been done.”


    Daniel murmured to himself, “It’s my bad. If I have made up my mind early, this would not happen.”


    The onlookers discussed in whispers. In their eyes, this was a typical show of a yboy’s regret and it


    was quite interesting and worthy to watch it.
