After lunch, Sherry parted with Emmett and headed back to the studio.
A girl came to her with a bouquet of roses soon as she stepped in, "Sherry, flowers for you."
Sherry took the roses and opened the card on them.
The girl was curious, "Is Daniel back? I haven't seen him around for quite some time."
Sherry looked at the card and smiled, "Not from him."
"Huh? Well then…"
Sherry held the flowers and stroke her hair, "I have more than one admirer."
"Alright, get back to work now," she added.
The lady sensed something unusual and hurried back to work.
Sherry went back to her office, put the flower aside, rested her chin on her hands and gazed out of the window as
she let out a long sigh.
Her wish came true; she had a new relationship now. But it didn't bring much joy as she expected though.
Whatever, let it be. Let's go with the flow.
Sherry reached for her mobile and began scrolling. Winnie and Conrad Group mutually agreed to terminate their
contract half an hour ago; all her contracted jobs and endorsement agreements will also be canceled within the
agreed period.
Lots of media accounts online said Winnie might sign with other companies that offered better terms compared to
the Conrad Group; some others said that she intended to establish her own company and build her own
entertainment empire.
There were all different kinds of opinions.
While it was rumored that Conrad Group signed a contract with a famous influencer, insiders from the
entertainment world anticipated that she would replace Winnie shortly.
Sherry was speechless reading all this gossips. When she was about to sign out, a new trend popped up on the
search.
[Winnie's new variety show is scheduled to be broadcast soon]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWinnie was a well-known celebrity, any hot topic related to her should be at least one of the top three on What's
Trending. But now due to some unknown reasons, this topic appeared only on the bottom of the trending list.
Sherry clicked and read the content. Apart from promotional content from the recording team and their fans, there
were quite lots of negative comments too, claiming that there was a high possibility that the show would be
canceled because of the issue between Winnie and the Conrad Group.
Sherry made a call to Winnie. She was still dealing with some issues with the working team. So far, all works were
still on schedule and it was nothing like what was written online.
After chatting for a while, Sherry asked, "Is that scumbag still harassing you lately?"
"No, Nathan said he can barely take care of himself, and I don't have to worry about him."
"Very well then."
Stella asked her to keep an eye on Channing. As long as Chassell that bastard didn't do anything, there should be
nothing to be worried about.
Winnie added, "Let's meet up after I'm done with everything, and ask Stella to come along."
"Stella and Mr. Conrad went to Riverside City. We don't know when they'll come back, let's wait after she is back,"
Sherry told her.
"Did something happen at Riverside City?"
"Elaine's great-grandpa passed away and Stella's child is there too, so they went back together."
"I see, let's wait after she comes back then," Winnie said.
Though Donald Shawn helped a lot with her termination of contract, she felt awkward treating him for a meal
alone, so she wanted to ask Stella and the rest to join, but the timing didn't allow that; hence, she decided to
postpone it.
Sherry let out a dry cough, "Err… Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Did you contact Channing lately?" Afraid that she might misinterpret, Sherry quickly added, "I didn't mean
anything, I know the variety show is going to be broadcast soon, so I'm just curious if both of you have any other
project together."
Winnie paused and said, "All promotional contents had been shot, so there should be no more collaboration
between us."
"I see, I'm just curious. He needs to go back to school a few days later. I'm worried if his job will affect his studies,"
Sherry explained.
"It should be fine."
"Okay then, please get back to work, take care."
"Okay, bye." Winnie looked out at the window, sunken into thought after hanging up the call.
Her assistant waved her hand in front of her, "Winnie?"
Winnie pulled herself back to reality, "Is it done?"
"Yes, let's go," the assistant replied.
Winnie stood up, "Let's go."
Only this assistant who had joined her team less than six months ago left with her, while the rest of the members
chose to stay.
Winnie never looked back after she stepped out of the company.
…
In the afternoon, the child was in the treatment room. Stella let out a long sigh looking at the pile of designing
drafts in front of her. "Clarence," she called.
"Yes?"
"Did you read the news?"
"Which one?"
"The Conrad Group officially terminated their contract with Winnie."
"Yes, I saw that."
"Do you think what they're saying online will come true?" Stella said slowly, holding her pen.
Clarence paused for a few seconds, put down his laptop, walked over and gently pinched her earlobe, "Why are you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthinking so much? Aren't you busy?"
"Something is not right," Stella said.
"Like what?"
"Your brother…Justin, what exactly does he wants?"
Justin took over Conrad Group. It was understandable that he would slowly replace Clarence's employees with his
people.
It was a normal transition for any company.
But what happened lately did not seem right. That included the collaboration between Justin and Caesar and also
Chassell.
If Chassell's horrible deeds weren't exposed in front of everyone that night, Justin wouldn't have abolished their
collaboration.
Recalling the incident that night, it seemed Justin was forced to do so.
Clarence had all information about what kind of a person Chassell was. Though Justin took over the Conrad Group
later, Nathan must have given him details about Chassell as well, but Justin chose to ignore that.
The incident with the James family became the talk of the town, though Justin didn't mind and didn't believe what
happened, he should have at least investigated and verified the truth, instead of disregarding the incident,
pretending nothing happened and continuing his collaboration with Caesar.
Not only this was completely unreasonable, but it was also… unbelievable.
Clarence raised his brow, "I thought you were stuck on your design seeing you frowned upon here. Why are you
thinking about all this?"
Stella turned to him, "You didn't renew the contract with Winnie because you have foreseen the current situation,
did you?"
Clarence pulled back his hands, "Spend more time on work, you'll achieve better."
Stella turned speechless. She sensed that Clarence was obviously avoiding her questions. In other words, her
assumptions were correct.
