Prev Chapter Next Chapter

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

Clarence.

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

There are already more than one hundred companies there.”

Clarence 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 many companies will definitely try hard on the cooperation.”

Clarence 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.

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

The New Coast project had originally been one of Conrad Group’s largest 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 according to the plan of Clarence 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 incoming companies would be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now Clarence 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.”

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

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

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

Samuel nodded and said, “Yes.”

After two seconds, Clarence said, “Let him come up.”

Five minutes later, Emmett appeared in the office.

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

indifferently, “Mr. Carter, are you here to complete our last unfinished talk?”

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

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

Clarence 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.

Clarence 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.” Clarence’s voice came from behind just as Emmett took several steps.

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

Clarence 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, Clarence won't let him leave so easily.

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

Clarence 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,” Clarence 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…”

Clarence said in a light voice, “I am not Stella, so you don’t need to explain 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.”

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

paternity test?”

Emmett immediately snapped, “Clarence 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 Stella home for dinner but Clarence ruined it

midway.

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

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

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

Clarence 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, Clarence 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.

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

Emmett left with gritted teeth.

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

Clarence 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 suddenly come back?”

He avoided her gaze, looked around, landed 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 the company these days.” He said, “Mom, let me drive you to the hospital.”

“It won’t delay 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 relationship for now.”

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

wants to have grandchildren.”

“Did Dad’s last medical examination results come out?”

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