Chapter 791


    At the Steward Group building, Nathan knocked on the door and put down all the documents in front of


    rence.


    He said, “Mr. Conrad, this is the advancement n of Conrad Group’s project about the New Coast.


    There are already more than one hundredpanies there.”


    rence picked up the document and flipped through a few pages.


    Nathan added, “A new round of bidding will begin soon next Friday. But there are not many projects


    left. By then manypanies will definitely try hard on the cooperation.”


    rence put down the file and said, “For all the remaining projects, bid in the name of Southwest.”


    “Mr. Conrad, in this case, will Young Master Justin agree?” Nathan replied.


    rence paused for two seconds before saying, “He will.”


    The New Coast project had originally been one of Conrad Group’srgest projects in recent years.


    It contained innumerable small projects, involving catering, entertainment, real estate, shopping malls,


    hotels and so on.

    If the project was taken forward ording to the n of rence when he was still at the Conrad


    Group, it would greatly improve the economic level of the continent.


    But if the project went wrong midway, not only would the Conrad Group have to lose big money, but


    other iingpanies would be on the verge of bankruptcy.


    Now rence took the initiative to get involved in this project, and there was no reason for Justin to


    disagree.


    Nathan nodded and said, “I will go arrange it now.”


    In the afternoon, Samuel, who received a call from the front desk, walked to the office. “Mr. Conrad,


    there is someone downstairs who wants to see you.”


    rence asked with a slight voice, “Who is it?”


    “It’s… Mr. Emmett Carter from Star Ferry Technology,” replied Samuel.


    Hearing this, rence slightly raised his eyebrows. “Emmett?”


    Samuel nodded and said, “Yes.”


    After two seconds, rence said, “Let hime up.”


    Five minutester, Emmett appeared in the office.


    rence sat in the sofa with his long legs crossed and fingers tapping on his knees, asking


    indifferently, “Mr. Carter, are you here toplete ourst unfinished talk?”


    Emmett changed his face slightly and said, “It was about my unwarranted spectionst time. I was


    ill-considered. So I am here… to apologize to you, Mr. Conrad.”


    rence revealed a slight smile and asked with great interest, “Apologize?”


    “I said if it is proved that I was wrong, I would personally apologize to you,” Emmett said.


    rence remained silent. It seemed that Emmett had already known about Amanda’s matter.


    Emmett knew what kind of person he was and did not take his impassive attitude to heart. “Mr. Conrad,


    if you still have any problems, feel free to ask me. Just consider I kind of owe you. Good bye.”


    “Wait.” rence’s voice came from behind just as Emmett took several steps.


    Emmett turned back and asked, “What else, Mr. Conrad?”


    rence said, “Mr. Carter, since you personally came for a visit, I would take this opportunity then. I


    have a question for you.”


    Emmett looked expressionless. Of course, rence won''t let him leave so easily.


    “Mr. Conrad, I''m all ears,” Emmett said.


    rence said slowly, “Who did the paternity test for Channing back then?”


    Hearing this, Emmett frowned, “Why are you asking this, Mr. Conrad? Could it be…”


    “I am just curious. There is no need for you to think too much, Mr. Carter,” rence said.


    “I did the paternity test and I stayed at the test department for the results. Mr. Conrad, I don''t know


    what you meant. But I don''t think the test results would be wrong.” After pausing for a moment, he


    added, “I just said that based on the authenticity of the test result. I did not mean…”


    rence said in a light voice, “I am not Ste, so you don’t need to exin that much to me.”


    Emmett got sullen after being seen through.


    After a while, he said, “Mr. Conrad, if there is nothing else, I will go first.”


    rence asked slowly, “I remember that your mother is a doctor. So did you let her help with the


    paternity test?”


    Emmett immediately snapped, “rence Conrad! What do you mean by saying that?”


    “Nothing. I was just curious.”


    “If you are still unhappy because of what I said the other day, you can go ahead and make things


    difficult for me. Don’t drag my parents into this matter,” Emmett said.


    He was very filial to his parents. Last year he took Ste home for dinner but rence ruined it


    midway.


    He just wanted to keep his parents out of these things.


    rence made it quite clear that he doubted the authenticity of the paternity test. But in addition to


    doubting Emmett, rence even suspected Emmett’s mother. How could Emmett stand it?


    rence looked at him coldly as usual and said, “Judging from your reaction, the paternity test was


    indeed done by your mother.”


    “What…” Emmett said.


    “Instead of wasting time here with me, Mr. Carter, why don’t you do the paternity test again?” While


    saying this, rence got up and said, “If it turns out to be a mere wild guess of mine, I''ll apologize to


    you, Mr. Carter. Hope that I will have the opportunity to sit in your office, Mr. Carter.”


    Hearing this, Emmett did not know how to respond.


    rence said, “Okay. Mr. Carter, bye-bye.”


    Emmett left with gritted teeth.


    After leaving the Steward Group building, he wanted to go back to thepany. But thinking of what


    rence had said, he frowned tightly and made a turn, deciding to go back home.


    As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother was preparing to go out.


    He asked, “Mom, aren’t you off work today?”


    His mother replied, “My colleague had something to attend to and changed her shift with me. Why did


    you suddenlye back?”


    He avoided her gaze, looked around,nded his eyes on the coffee table and then walked over. “I


    forgot to take the documents, so I came back to get them.”


    Seeing this, she said, “You can just tell me and I will bring it over to you to save you the trouble.”


    “Well, I am not busy at thepany these days.” He said, “Mom, let me drive you to the hospital.”


    “It won’t dy you, right?”


    “No. I also need to meet a friend by the way.”


    “Okay. Let’s go then.”


    On the way, he looked ahead in silence.


    She asked with some hesitation, “There is a girl in my hospital who''s on her internship. She looks pretty


    and has a nice personality. Why don’t you take the opportunity to meet her this time?”


    He retracted his thoughts and smiled, saying, “Mom, I have no interest in this kind of things now.”


    She got a bit nervous. “Are you still thinking about that girl before? She has a boyfriend, right?”


    He said, “She is married.”


    “Then you…” she hesitated.


    “It has nothing to do with her. I just don’t want to start a rtionship for now.”


    She sighed d, “I don’t want to rush you. But your father’s health has been getting worsetely. He


    wants to have grandchildren.”


    “Did Dad’sst medical examination resultse out?”


    “Yes. There is nothing serious, just… Well, getting old brings small problems,” she replied.
