Chapter 824


    Meanwhile, Steward Group.


    Nathan brought in a file. “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad. The bidding documents for this afternoon have been


    ready.”


    rence hummed to answer and took the document over, only to find Nathan was still standing there.


    He said, “What happened? Speak.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Nathan answered, “Mr. Carter went to Ms. Radomil earlier. It seemed their conversation ended


    unhappily.”


    rence wasn’t surprised at this result. He lowered his head to read through the document. “Would


    you be happy if this happened to you?”


    Nathan clicked his tongue. He had to admit Mr. Conrad waspetent.


    He hadn’t done anything, but it seemed his goal had been achieved.


    Instantly, the conflict between Ste and Emmett had been brought to the highest.


    His rival in love was so doomed.


    rence looked up. “How’s your investigation going?”


    Nathan returned to his senses and said, “I’ve found something. Mr. Carter’s mother used to be a close


    friend of Ms. Radomil’s mother. However, for some reason, after Ms. Radomil’s parents got married,


    the twodies were distanced. Shortly after, Mrs. Carter married Mr. Carter’s father. Mr. Carter’s father


    got along with Ms. Radomil’s parents, in fact. Rumors has it that he had feelings for...”


    rence asked, “Is that all?”


    Nathan nodded. “Yes, that’s what I’ve found so far. After all, it happened two or three decades ago. It


    was rted to thest generation. Hence, it’s not easy to confirm.”


    “Aren’t the people involved still alive? Go ahead to confirm with them.”


    Nathan was confused. “People involved? Mr. Carter’s mother?”


    “No matter his father or mother, just talk to the one that would more likely give you an answer.”


    Nathan nodded. “I got it, Mr. Conrad.”


    rence asked, “When will the bidding start?”


    Nathan checked the time. “At three in the afternoon. There are still one hour forty minutes left. We can


    set off at two o’clock.”


    “Okay. Go back to your work.”


    Nathan answered and left the office.


    ording to the current investigation, rence didn’t think Emmett’s mother would tell the truth.


    Hence, they could work on his father instead.


    In the hospital.


    Emmett couldn’t get the truth from his mother.


    His mother said, “Since you’ve got the test result, you should do whatever you ought to. You can also


    file aint against me in the hospital. I admit I’ve made a mistake in the test. I ept whatever


    punishment from the hospital.”


    Emmett frowned. “Mom...”


    “All right. I can’t talk to you anymore. I must go back to work.”


    Then she turned away.


    Emmett stood there motionlessly, feeling extremely helpless that he had never felt before.


    He didn’t want to do that to his mother.


    He wondered why.


    ...


    At the studio.


    Ste sat at her desk for a long while. She kept fiddling with the ornaments beside her.


    She didn’t draw a brush on the draft paper in front of her.


    While she was lost in thought, her shoulder was patted. “What are you thinking of?”


    Ste turned around and gasped, “Sherry?”


    Sherry opened her suitcase, and started to take out some of the things and ce them on the desk.


    “My mother asked me to give them to you.”


    “Why are you back? Didn''t you say you wished to apany your parents for more days?”


    Sherry sat on the sofa, heaving a sigh. “s... My mother has sent me back. She said whenever


    seeing me, she wanted to urge me to get married. Out of sight, out of mind. Hence, I ran away.”


    Ste smiled. “What about Daniel? He went to find you, didn''t he?”


    Sherry curled her lips. “Why should I care about him? I’ve gone. He can stay there however he likes.”


    “Aren’t you afraid he will revisit your parents?”


    “If he really loves to go to my parents’ house, he can be my parents’ godson. They like him a lot,


    anyway.”


    Ste said, “Cut out the nonsense.”


    Sherry opened her bag and pulled something out. “By the way, this is the test result..”


    Ste took it over. She lowered her head, feeling upset.


    Sherry knew Ste invited Chan for dinnerst night. She asked, “What happened? Did Chan say


    something?”


    Ste put away the test result. “He said everything had ended after Jeffrey had died. It’s not important


    who his father is.”


    Sherry could imagine this scene, actually.


    She heaved a sigh. After a while, she asked, “What do you n to do now? Will you tell your father?”


    Ste shook her head. “I don’t want to tell him for the time being. I want to wait for Chan’s reaction. He


    needs time to ept it. Otherwise, my father will be upset and ming himself after knowing Chan’s


    attitude.”


    Sherry scratched her hair and asked gingerly, “Then... Emmett Carter...”


    “He came to me at noon and apologized to me. He didn’t say anything else, though.”


    When Sherry asked Daniel that question, she had expected him to tell Emmett.


    She said, “This matter is quite confusing. I still can’t understand why Emmett had done it. He wouldn’t


    benefit from it, would he? Mr. William trusts him so much.”


    “I don’t know, either,” Ste said in a low voice. “However, it’s not important now. I just wonder what


    Chan should do.”


    Sherry said, “Chan always knows what he wants, especially on this matter. I don’t think it’s easy to


    resolve.”


    Ste said, “My father wille back to City N soon. Once I imagine the scene when they met, I feel...


    horrified.”


    Hence, she wished that everything could be resolved before that.


    However, it wouldn’t be that easy.


    When thinking about that scene, Sherry felt panicked.


    Hence, she could understand how worried and hesitant Ste was now.


    Sherry thought for a few seconds. “We can... ask Winnie for help.”


    Ste raised her head in a daze. She had never thought of that earlier.


    Sherry added, “Think about it. Chan has been against this matter already. No matter you or I tell him,


    Chan would resist it. He won’t think about this problem calmly. However, Winnie is different. Her goal


    isn’t so evident as ours. She can raise the topic to Chan more easily. Besides, I guess... Chan probably


    will listen to her.”


    “But, she and Chan haven’t..”


    “Isn’t that good? They could be closer due to this matter. I’m sure Chan will be delighted.”


    “Will Winnie agree?”


    Sherry smiled mysteriously. “Winnie has a crush on Chan, but she didn’t dare to face her real thought.


    However, she will definitely agree to help him ovee his psychological disorder.”


    As she spoke, Sherry picked up her phone and said, “I’m gonna call her now.”
