Chapter 613


    On the other side…


    Franklin snorted when he heard his subordinate’s report, “They’re now in Riverside, not in City N. He’s


    way too arrogant.”


    His subordinate remained silent.


    Franklin asked a momentter, “Have you found out why hee to Riverside?”


    “Not yet. But he has been investing the Master of Riverside and I guess it’s rted to him.”


    “Darnell James always creates troubles.”


    After the death of Bancroft, Darnell became the new patriarch of the James family. Although the family


    looked calm on the surface, it was turbulent in fact.


    Most of the James thought Darnell was still young and he couldn’t take such a big responsibility,


    therefore, they created many troubles for him behind his back.


    Although it couldn’t damage Darnell’s foundation, the existence of these people had been a risk.


    Therefore, Darnell’s mother proposed the marriage between ine and Darnell in an attempt to


    consolidate the rtionship of the two families so that other people would not gossip about it.


    As Franklin served Bancroft before, moreover, once ine married Darnell, the child she gave birth to


    later would be the next patriarch of the James family.


    After careful consideration, he agreed to the proposal.


    But he didn’t expect that rence would suddenlye to Riverside.


    He was afraid that there would be an ident.


    Franklin said in a deep voice, “Send dome people to City N and investigate whether there’s anything


    special in the Conrad Group or the Conrad family.”


    His subordinate nodded his head and immediately carried out the task.


    Franklin received a piece of news in half an hour – Dempsey’s wifemitted suicide and Dempsey


    was paralyzed. He could only lie on the bed, not being able to move or talk.


    And Dempsey’s eldest son took him to Canada to see doctors several days ago.


    No one in City N could hinder rence now.


    Franklin knitted his brows tightly, “It’s such important information. But you only find it now?”


    His subordinate replied, “They blocked the news deliberately before. Now since rence hase to


    Riverside, the security in City N weakens, so…”


    Franklin pondered for a while and then stood up, “No, rence came to Riverside right after the


    ident in the Conrad family. This matter must not be so simple. I have to go out. Keep an eye on


    ine and don’t let her run away.”


    His subordinate replied, “Okay.”


    Franklin left in a hurry.


    …


    In the next few days, Ste still didn’t want to talk to rence. But that wretched man kept pestering


    her, which annoyed her a lot.


    But because of this, the depression which was caused by the baby’s sickness and hovered around her


    was shifted.


    Sherry was a doer. She sent the design drawings sent by Ste to the factory and immediately


    contacted the models to shoot photos for publicity when the products were produced.


    Daniel originally intended to find a photographer, but Sherry insisted on doing it herself.


    Ever since her pregnancy, she felt herself almost like a good-for-nothing as she didn’t have to take care


    of anything and seldom came to the studio.


    If she was still idle, she would feel very ufortable.


    When the photos for publicity were prepared, their studio officially debuted on various emerce


    tforms.


    And it was branded as ‘Starry Sky’.


    It was Sherry who decided on the brand’s name. It was Ste who worked hard to develop this brand


    and she seldom helped and would do odd jobs at most, therefore, she thought they’d better brand it


    with the designer’s name.


    Moreover, Sherry was quite satisfied with the brand’s name – ‘Starry Sky’.


    However, Ste thought the establishment of the studio and the brand was not simply about her own


    work, so she tried to change the brand’s name. But Sherry persuaded her.


    As for the debut of the brand on many emerce tforms, they didn’t publicize it except for


    releasing a post to announce it on their official ount.


    Even so, many users managed to find it.


    The new arrivals all have satisfying sales volumes.


    Lying on the sofa and looking at the jewellery on the models on the publicizing photos, Ste felt a


    surge of weird emotions.


    When she was in university, designing was just one of her hobbies and she never expected she would


    be a designer one day.


    If not for Horace’s help and encouragement, she would have given up on the aspiration to be a


    designer.


    Seeing that Ste was at a loss with her eyes fixed on the tabletputer, rence curled his finger


    and flipped her forehead, “What are you thinking?”


    Ste rubbed her forehead and replied ndly, “Horace.”


    rence was lost for words.


    Seeing that it waste, Ste put down her tabletputer and prepared to take a shower and go to


    bed.


    Unexpected, rence followed her into the bathroom.


    Ste turned around to look at him, “What do you want to do?”


    “I think I’m somehow responsible for it as you think of Horace at this point.”


    Ste was confused.


    This wretched man is really good at finding excuses for himself.


    rence closed the door of the bathroom, walked over, grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the


    slippery wall. He pinched her chin and gently rubbed her lips with one finger, “I have to ept thisN?velDrama.Org content rights.


    grievance and help you walk out of that unrequited love.”


    Ste immediately understood what he wanted to do when looking into his eyes with a burning desire in


    them.


    Over the past days in the hotel, although this wretched man would paw her and do something more


    intimate than it, he had never really had sex with her.


    Ste was clear that it was because he cared about her feelings. Since the child was still in the


    laboratory, it was inappropriate for his parents to indulge in sexual pleasure.


    However, judging from rence’s gaze, it seemed like he really nned to have sex with her tonight.


    Ste twisted the wrist grabbed by rence, “No, you can’t do that. Our baby is still in theboratory,


    and I…”


    “Please be reasonable. His condition has been improved and a group of doctors are taking care of him.


    What else are you worried about?”


    “But…”


    rence said slowly, “Ste, no matter what has happened, you have to go on with your wife. No


    matter how terrible the situation is, you should work hard to confront it instead of evading it. You can’t


    confine yourself in a narrow space, not willing to go out and not allowing others to walk into that private


    space. You have to walk out of it yourself, and then you will find that although what has happened


    cannot be changed, everything is progressing towards a positive direction.”


    Ste was stunned by his philosophical words.


    Of course, if he didn’t utter these words in such a scene, Ste would have been convinced by him.


    Ste said seriously, “I think what you said is right.”


    rence curled his lips into a smile. When he was about to kiss her, Ste continued, “But I’m in my


    period.”


    rence was lost for words.


    He remembered that Ste’s period was supposed toe in these few days.


    So he guessed she was not lying.


    Ste struggled out of his confinement, pushed him out of the bathroom and locked the door. Then she


    began to take a shower at ease.


    Standing at the door, rence put one hand on his hip and gritted his teeth as if he was so angry.


    Right at this moment, his phone which was ced on the sofa rang.


    rence walked over and answered the call.


    Nathan reported, “Mr. Conrad, everything is prepared.”
