When Stella arrived at the studio, she found Sherry was also there. Stella asked, “Why don’t you stay at home and
rest for two more days?”
Putting her head on the table, Sherry said weakly, “I feel so boring when staying at home. If I don’t come out, I feel
like I’m about to have a depression.”
Stella chucked and sat opposite her, “Where is Daniel?”
“I don’t know. He said he would come to pick me up later. But I hope he won’t come.”
“Did he live in your house in the past few days?”
Sherry got angry when mentioning this and said indignantly, “I don’t know what he’s thinking every day. I thought
I’ve made it clear, but he still stayed at my home cheekily. It’s really annoying that I can see him every day when I
wake up.”
Stella raised her brows. She didn’t comment on it.
Sherry heaved a sigh emotionally, “Stella, it has almost been half a month. Can you accompany me to the hospital
for an operation several days later? I don’t want him to come with me.”
Stella asked, “Does Daniel think so?”
“He didn’t say it. But since he has been considering it for a long time, I think it’s a kind of acquiescence. I don’t want
to delay it anymore. I guess he had to take care of me due to the baby. The earlier I have an abortion, the earlier
we can get rid of each other.”
Stella was suddenly lost for words. After a long while, she slightly pressed her lips together and said, “Okay.”
Sherry continued, “Oh, you suddenly come to the studio, do you have any affair to deal with?”
Stella took out the design drawings from her bag, “I need to send these drawings to the factory.”
Some of the designs were for the fashion week, and some of them were the new arrivals for their studio.
Sherry said, “Okay. I will send them to the factory later. By the way, Stella, we have run the studio for a long time.
When I stayed at home, I came up with an idea. Shall we open an online store? This will help promote our studio
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand develop our brand.”
Stella nodded her head, “Okay.”
“Then I will release a recruitment ad to find several employees for e-commerce.”
Stella pondered for a while, “If we open an online store, the current studio will be too small for it.”
Sherry also realized this problem. As for the construction of their studio, except for the store outside, it only had a
lounge, an office and a tearoom. There was no enough space for them to store goods.
If they wanted to open an online store, no matter what the sales volume would be, what they should do first was to
ensure there were enough goods in the warehouse.
Even if they couldn’t sell all the goods, they could expand the sales channels and sell them later. But if they only
required the factory to produce the products after receiving the orders, the customers would have to wait and it
would only damage their reputation.
Sherry suddenly got an idea. When she looked towards Stella, she found Stella was also looking at her.
They spoke simultaneously, “Shall we rent the adjacent store?”
Stella and Sherry reached an agreement and immediately contacted the owner of the adjacent store.
Stella was busy with this affair the whole afternoon. When they signed the contract, it was already in the evening.
Sherry stretched out lazily, “Stella, let’s go to eat hot pot.”
Stella asked, “Can you eat it?”
Sherry replied, “I’ve asked the doctor. It’s okay for me to eat some spicy food. I’ve eaten light dishes for several
days and I really want to eat that. Please, eat hot pot with me.”
Stella chuckled, “Okay.”
She took out her phone and took a glance. Clarence still didn’t send her a message.
Sherry nudged him, “Did Mr. Conrad ask where you are? You can invite him to have a hot pit together. As long as I
can have the hot pot, I’m willing to do anything no matter how thrilling it is.”
“It’s not so.” Stella made an explanation, “Clarence seemed to have a problem yesterday and he went to the
company last night. He hasn’t contacted me yet. I don’t know about the situation.”
Sherry exclaimed in shock and asked, “Would you like to go there to have a look?”
Stella shook her head, “No need. I’ve asked Nathan and he told me it’s not a big deal. I guess Clarence must be at a
meeting so that he doesn’t contact me. I will ask him later.”
“All right. Then let’s go to the hot pot restaurant.”
…
In the Conrads’ Mansion…
In the living room, as soon as the maids had taken the tableware to the kitchen, one of Dempsey’s subordinates
hurried over and reported, “Master Conrad, there’s an emergency.”
Dempsey stood up with the support of his crutch, “Don’t be too fussy. What’s the matter? Why are you so anxious?”
“Second Young Master is back.”
Dempsey’s expression remained unchanged. He asked, “Isn’t it a normal thing? Could it be that he comes back with
some bombs?”
Joanna, who sat next to him, had no expression on her face.
His subordinate replied in a low voice, “He… He comes back with Miss Annie.”
Dempsey was shocked, “What?”
He thought Annie had died before. How could she come back?
Joanna asked, “Did you see it clearly? Are you sure it’s Annie?”
“Yes, I saw it clearly. It was really Miss Annie. It’s just that…”
Dempsey hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Before his subordinate could answer the question, a voice came from the door. “Since you’re so curious, you can
look by yourself and you will know the answer.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the next second, Clarence showed up in the living room.
Dempsey looked up following the sound. When he saw Clarence, there was apparent anger on his face. But when
he saw Annie who was taken into the house by Clarence’s subordinate, he uncontrollably widened his eyes.
Joanna’s expression changed dramatically, “What did you do to her?”
Annie, who stood in front of them now, didn’t look as arrogant as before. Her hair was messy and there were
wounds on her face, new or old. Every inch of her skin had injuries and one of her arms hung slackly by her side as
if it had been broken. The most horrifying thing was that she was sitting in a wheelchair. Although there was a
blanket on her, it seemed like she had lost her legs.
Clarence sat onto the sofa and said placidly, “Don’t be so anxious. I didn’t do anything to her.”
Clarence lifted his hand and Nathan immediately walked over.
Nathan said, “Annie was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced for twenty years. She was then
imprisoned in the Women's Prison of Aqock. However, after being put into jail, Annie attacked and abused the
prison guards and cellmates numerous times and even tried to escape from the prison. When she tried to escape,
she jumped down from the third floor to get rid of the chasers and broken her legs and one of her arms. As she was
seriously injured, the doctors finally decided to give her an amputation.”
Even Joanna was clutched by a gush of chillness on the back. She looked towards Clarence, “You… You arranged all
these, right?”
Clarence snorted, “If it was arranged by me, she would not have only lost her legs.”
Dempsey hit his crutch on the ground and cursed, “Ridiculous! You asshole!”
“Asshole? Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself? Why didn’t she reflect on her mistakes after being imprisoned and even
sassed the others? If she could realize her mistakes, she would not have suffered.”
Dempsey said, “She’s your sister. You…”
“Sister?” Clarence said slowly and placidly, yet his voice icy-cold, “When she pushed Stella down the stairs, she
should have expected the possible consequences. Reasonably, she should pay it back with her life. Isn’t it enough
that I still allow her to be alive?”
