When they arrived in the neighborhood, Sherry took her luggage out from the car and waved to Stella,
“Hurry up and leave. I’ll go back first.”
Stella smiled and nodded, “Okay.”
When Stella left, Sherry took her luggage and walked inside.
When she entered the neighborhood, she began to pray in her heart, ‘Please don’t meet Daniel, please
don’t let me meet him!’
Maybe the heavens heard her prayers, she didn’t meet him and it was calm along the way.
But when Sherry entered the unit door, she had an unknown premonition.
Sure enough, the elevator door slowly opened, and Daniel’s figure appeared in her sight.
Sherry, “...”
God loved to play jokes on her.
After the four eyes met for a few seconds, Daniel took the initiative to greet her, “What a coincidence.”
Sherry smiled perfunctorily, “Yes, it’s a coincidence.”
After the two greeted each other, they just stood there and no one moved.
At the moment when the elevator door was about to close, Daniel reached out and stopped the door,
“Aren’t you coming in?”
Sherry couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you coming out?”
Daniel said, “I forgot to bring my phone, so I have to go back.”
“Okay.”
Sherry didn’t want to make things so complicated, so she didn’t deliberately confront him face to face.
This would make people thought that she had a deep hatred towards him.
Moreover, she was tired to be on the plane for the whole afternoon. Not to mention that she had drank
a few glasses of water in the studio just now. Now, she desperately wanted to go to the bathroom
immediately.
After a few seconds of hesitations, she entered the elevator.
As the numbers of the elevator slowly rose, Daniel’s voice came from the back, “Ms. Radomil seems to
have moved out, after that, you will be living alone. If you need any help, you can always come and find
me.”
Sherry said, “Thank you, but it’s okay. I’ll be moving out soon too.”
Daniel was stunned, “Moving to where?”
Sherry smiled and turned her head, “You are so concern about me. Are you planning to become my
neighbor again?”
Daniel, “…”
Sherry stopped looking at him. She looked at the cold elevator door, and said slowly, “You’d better save
your concern for Ms. Steward, I don’t need it.”
Behind her, Daniel didn’t say a word anymore.
After a while, the elevator door opened, and Sherry pulled her luggage and left in a hurry.
Daniel stares at her back. His eyebrows were raised slightly, and then he reached out for his phone in
his pocket and took a glance at it. He then pressed the elevator’s close button and went back
downstairs.
In the Star Ferry Technology…
Emmett returned to the office after the meeting and saw Daniel sitting in the sofa. Daniel had his gaze
fixed as if he was daydreaming, not knowing what was going on in his head.
He walked over and sat opposite to Daniel, “Something changed?”
Daniel came back to his senses, “What?”
Emmett said, “You look so gloomy. Isn’t something has gone wrong?”
Daniel smiled, “No.”
After a pause, he added, “Ms. Radomil has moved to the Steward family’s house today. Do you know
about this?”
When Daniel heard this, his face darkened a little. He nodded, “Cameron went there too.”
“Did he go there too?”
Emmett said, “Letting them meet in front of Charles is the safest and most secure way for now.”
After a while, Daniel said, “If I had known that Ms. Radomil is… There wouldn’t be so many
misunderstandings in between.”
Emmett silent for a while, “The problem is on me. If I cared about Stella a little bit more, the situation
wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“Don’t blame yourself for that, who would have thought about that?” said Daniel, “Have you gone to
check the matter about Channing? I can’t ask Ms. Radomil directly, but if he is also…”
“No.”
“You found something?”
Emmett nodded and continued, “I found the birth registration, it was a year and three months after the
accident. The time is not right.”
Daniel’s slender fingers was holding his phone, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
In other words, after the explosion, both Stella and her mother survived. They both thought that the
person was dead. Stella’s mother was afraid that the man would come and kill her. Hence, she
changed her name and married to another man while taking Stella together with her. Then, she gave
birth to a child with the man.
Thinking of this, Daniel suddenly felt a headache.
Emmett said, “Stella and Chan have been dependent on each other since they were young, so their
relationship is very good.”
“I know.”
So, this made this situation even more complicated.
It was easy to find out what Stella had been through over the years. The things that Jeffrey did were
enough for him to be punished to death, but they couldn’t deny that he was Chan’s biological father.
Even if Chan hated Jeffrey deeply, this wouldn’t be that simple.
Daniel pressed his fingers on his temple and stood up. He said, “I’m leaving now, I’ve something to do.”
Emmett said, “Going to find Phoebe?”
Daniel stopped immediately, “Why are you asking like this?”
“Besides looking for her, what else could you do?”
Daniel, “…”
Before that, he tried to get close to Phoebe with a clear purpose. However, Phoebe was very smart and
knew his thoughts soon. Hence, she was enjoying his pursuit and also making deals with him at the
same time.
Now, he and Phoebe were just acting in front of each other.
Moreover, since the plan had reached this point, there was no need to continue anymore.
Daniel raised his eyebrows, “Can’t I just do my own thing? Do you want to go to the bar now? My treat.”
“No, there’s work waiting for me to finish.” Emmett continued, “We can’t be too relax right now, so don’t
be too wild while playing.”
“I know, I’m just going to relax a little.”
…
In the Conrad Group…
Stella parked her car by the side of the road, thinking that Clarence usually didn’t have time to eat
when he worked. Hence, she bought some food from the restaurant downstairs.
As she walked into the building, the Conrad Group’s employees were already preparing to leave the
office.
Several people were discussing among themselves, “Recently, how many did he had? Oh my God, Mr.
Conrad really have luck with women.”
“It’s true. These ladies are all daughters of the wealthy families. They are not only pretty, but also very
rich. They have power and money. Hence, I wouldn’t believe that Mr. Conrad didn’t like any of them.”
“Mind what you’ve said. What so special about the ladies from wealthy families? Will they win Mr.
Conrad’s heart? Moreover, no matter how wealthy their family is, how can they be compared to the
Steward family? Although the Steward family is big and strong, our President Conrad still canceled the
marriage contract with them.”
“Hey, hey, speaking of this, I’m quite curious about why Mr. Conrad dismissed the engagement in the
first place. Do you think he did that because of his ex-wife? Not long ago, the Internet was filled with
news about that incident. The situation was so bad until Mr. Conrad had to dispel the rumors
personally. It’s really ridiculous.”
“If it is really like what you’ve said, I have attended the now launch of SG Jewelry and saw Ms.
Radomil. She’s very beautiful indeed. But I heard that she came from a poor background. She must
have used a lot of tactics to marry Mr. Conrad.”
“I also saw her before. She’s really pretty, but wealthy family’s marriage prioritizes another family with
good background to match with their status. Did you saw how many blind dates did the Chairman of the
Board has arranged for Mr. Conrad? I guess his ex-wife will no longer stand a chance.”
