Chapter 867
With rence grabbing his cor, Justin''s whole body was slightly lifted up by the movement.
Nevertheless, the smile on his face did not fade at all. He said gently, "rence, before you asked me
this, you should''ve asked your grandfather first. It was Nn Conrad who abandoned you and your
mother. Why should I take the consequences?"
rence loosened his grip for a moment, and his face was gloomy.
Justin continued, "The doctor said that your son''s disease can be cured. There was a person in
Riverside City who had basically recovered in two or three years."
rence said coldly, "You think two or three years is too short, so you asked them to develop an
enhanced version of poison."
Justin''s smile became even brighter, "You do know me. I believe you''d still try your best to cure him.
But I am disabled for life."
He said that tly. It seemed that he was talking about someone else''s business. You can''t even feel
any trace ofint or hatred from his words.
There was only the pleasure of revenge left.
rence let go off him, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, and said slowly, "At least for so many
years, you finally told me the truth once."
"I did regard you as my own brother."
rence didn''t speak, but took a few steps back, "Go back now., I won''t leave City N as you wish."
Hearing this, Justin''s smile disappeared.
It shouldn''t be so smooth.
Meanwhile, the assistant who had been waiting behind him answered a phone call, and his facial
expression changed. He strode over, leaned to Justin''s ears and whispered, "Mr. Conrad, someone
broke into Conrad''s Mansion and took away..."
Before he finished his words, Justin had understood what had happened.
Justin looked back at rence, "I didn''t expect you to do that."
He nced at the woman who stood not far away and hadn''t spoken a word all the time, "She''s not
Ste, right?"
The woman slowly took off her mask and hat. It was Sherry.
Justin smiled and heaved a sigh, "ssic rence. You can''t stand suffering a little loss, or you will get
twice back to it."
"Isn''t that what you''re doing now?" rence just stared at him expressionlessly. "Whenever you want
revenge, you cane to me, but you shouldn''t hurt the others, especially the people I care about."
As he finished, he turned around and got on the car.
Sherry quickly followed.
Soon, the ck car drove away.
The assistant came forward, "Mr. Conrad..."
Justin grinned, "Don''t worry, he''s in a mess and he doesn''t have time for me."
...
Ste slept well that night, and when she woke up, Sherry was no longer there.
She habitually stretched her hand to the bedside table and fumbled for her phone. She didn''t know
what time it was.
Ste looked out at the bright sky and thought it was time for rence to be back, so she sat up and
got oof bed.
As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw a pink figure rushing towards her, and it stopped
in an emergency half a meter away from her.
"Ste, I miss you so much!!"
For a moment, Ste thought she hadn''t woken up.
She halted halfway at her yawn and it took her a while to finally utter a word, "ine..."
ine held her hand and jumped happily on the spot. "Ste, do you miss me?"
Ste smiled. "Yes. Why are you here? Does your father know?"
"My father..."
Before ine answered, Archer stepped forward and pulled her aside. "She followed me stealthily, and
as for her dad... I think he should''ve known now."
Sneaking away again?

ine pouted, "What, Ste, don''t listen to him! I asked great grandpa. He and uncle... and Darnell
both have agreed!"
ine stuck her tongue out at Archer and made a face.
Archer threw a grimace back at her.
Steughed when she saw it. They were so childish.
But now that Archer''s here, could it be that...
Ste jerked up her head and looked into the living room.
Archer understood what she was thinking. He said, "Just the two of us."
"Why are you two here?" she asked.
Archer, "For traveling."
ine, "To eat delicious food!"
Ste knew Archer would not leave the little boy alone in Riverside City and came all the way here for
nothing. She frowned. "Is something wrong?"
Archer walked to the couch and sat down. "It''s nothing, just your husband was worried about you, so
he asked me, a rising star in the medical field, to babysit you and take care of your daily life. Don''t
forget to pay the wages."
That did sound like something rence would do.
Ste pulled ine over to Archer and sat down. "He didn''t tell me that, and I would have refused if I
knew. He asked you toe because when we went to get tested, the doctor said something about my
condition and... I''ll be all right if I am careful."
Archer picked up an orange from the table and started peeling. "It has been quite a bumpy road for you
to have this baby," he said. "You need to be careful, but not just be careful. You have to be calm, can''t
be angry, can''t be emotional."
"I know. The doctor told me that."
Archer put a piece of orange in his mouth as he turned to her. "The most important thing is that you
have to be able to control yourself and improve your psychological endurance.
Ste''s lips twitched, "How to do that?"
Archer pulled a file out of his bag. "I''ve got an emotion test here. Have a try?"
Ste, "OK..."
Archer opened the document and spoke in a serious voice, "First question, which of the following
situation will make you angrier: Working overtime every day without pay and your boss just gives you
empty promises, or, your boss has taken the credit for your hard work?"
Ste answered earnestly, "The former."
"Then what about these two. Your boss gives you empty promises, or, your work is giarized and the
giarist publicly taunts you as inferior to him or her?"
"giarism."
Archer continued, "Okay. Being giarized or your husband cheats on you with your best friend?"
Ste was rendered speechless.
She was silent for a while and said, "Can you change the question? It''s weird..."
Archer said seriously, "No, how can you change the test? It''s a verymon thing in life. The more
common it is, the more likely it will stimte your emotions."
Ste let her imagination run for a few moments before it got herself a bit too ufortable.
She said, "That must be thetter..."
Archer continued, "Um, well. What about, your husband cheats on you versus your brother gets into a
fight and is expelled from school?"
Ste paused. "My brother won''t get into a fight or be expelled from school."
"Your husband won''t have an affair with your best friend either. It''s just hypothetically speaking. Aren''t
we doing a test now?"
