Chapter 628: Chapter 628

When Stella and Elaine arrived at the studio, Sherry was taking pictures for a model for the production of new products.

Thanks to the online production, the visitors of their store doubled.

Although Sherry had recruited some employees, they were all for the management of the online store and apparently, their studio was in short of manpower.

The girls, who were overwhelmed by the large sum of work, lit up their eyes when they saw Stella.

Stella walked to the other side of the check-stand and said to the customers who were in the long line, “Please come here.”

With Stella’s help, the payment immediately became quicker.

Several customers recognized Stella and discussed it in a low voice, saying that Stella looked more beautiful than how she looked in photos.

When these customers left, the store became emptier and they were not that busy.

One of the girls said, “Stella, you’re finally back!”

Stella chuckled, “Thank you for your hard work during this period.”

“That’s not a big deal. Sherry has increased our salaries.”

Right at this moment, Sherry came back from the next-door store. When she saw Stella, she rushed over and hugged her, “Stella, I miss you so much!”

Stella patted her back and said with a smile, “I’d just left the city for one month, but why do you act like we haven’t seen each other for several years.”

Sherry let go of her and sighed emotionally while stroking her waist, “Apart in one day, it seems years away.”

Noticing her action, Stella asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Nothing. It’s just that my waist gets a bit sore after standing for a long while,” replied Sherry. She then spotted Elaine, who stood behind Stella and was looking around curiously, and asked in a low voice, “Who’s that?”

Stella replied, “She’s...She’s my sister and she will stay in our studio and help us during this period.”

Stella asked Elaine to come over and asked an employee to introduce the environment of the studio to Elaine. Then she walked into the office with Sherry.

After closing the door, Sherry sat on the sofa and asked with confusion, “Do you have a sister?”

Stella touched her brows, “Er...It’s a long story.”

Sherry was interested, “Why do you say so?”

“She’s a member of the James family.”

Sherry was taken aback for a moment. She didn’t expect to get this answer from Stella, “Then why... Oh, I figure it out. Little Noah is still in Riverside, so Mr. Conrad especially caught her and held her as a hostage, right?”

“That’s not so.”

Stella then concisely told her about what had happened in Riverside during this period and Clarence’s relationship with the James family, and Sherry was so shocked.

After a long while, Sherry spoke with difficulty, “How breaking! I need some time to digest this news.”

She paused and then asked, “So Mr. Conrad’s mother was deceived by Mr. Conrad’s father and went to City N with him, and then she became a homewrecker yet she herself didn’t know about it at all, right?”

Stella nodded her head, “That’s true.”

Sherry cursed angrily, “Damn it, before I just thought that Joanna was not a good man, but I didn’t expect that Demps... No wonder that they’re a couple – both of them are so disgusting! Mr. Conrad has been wronged as an illegitimate son, how dismal!”

Stella lowered her head and was lost for words for the time being.

Sherry continued, “By the way, you said that Justin’s car accident has something to do with the James family, right?”

“Yep.”

“Then... Mr. Cornad... He must be very struggling now. I remember that he has been getting well with Justin.”

Stella took a deep breath and looked out of the windows, “I don’t know either.”

Clarence had some weird emotions the night he came back from the James family, but after that, he resumed his usual self. Stella didn’t know what was in his mind.

She didn’t bring up this topic again as she was afraid that Clarence would be upset.

Sherry sighed emotionally and then comforted her, “But I think sometimes Mr. Conrad has a different way of thinking from normal people, so maybe he didn’t take this to his heart. Don’t worry. He will be fine after some time.”

Stella smiled, “I hope so.”

Sherry then asked tentatively, “Is that girl really Darnell’s fiancée?”

Stella replied, “Yes.”

Sherry clicked her tongue, “You told me last time that Darnell looks quite similar to Mr. Conrad, then he should be a handsome guy. Why did she try every possible means to evade him?”

...

In the CEO’s office of the Conrad Group...

The managers of various departments were reporting their work in the past month to Clarence, but they suddenly spotted that Clarence seemed to be absent-minded. He looked out of the windows blandly without any expression on his face.

The managers immediately became nervous, thinking that Clarence might be discontented with their reports, and then looked towards Nathan simultaneously.

Receiving their glances, Nathan braced up himself in the face of the great pressure and spoke, “Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence pulled himself back to reality and asked, “Is it finished?”

The manager who was reporting his work replied, “Not... Not yet. Mr. Conrad, I...”

“Put down the things and get out. I will call you if there’re any problems.”

The managers hurriedly put down their documents and then quickly left the office as if they were escaping from a monster.

Clarence casually picked up a document and leafed through it, “Have you found Vincent?”

It was now Nathan’s turn to be nervous. “Not... Not yet,” stammered Nathan.

Vincent had expected that Clarence would try to find him, so he hid himself in advance. Moreover, Vincent was the one who knew them best, so he could always know about their actions in advance.

In this case, it became harder for them to find Vincent.

Clarence closed the file in front of him and looked up nonchalantly.

Nathan immediately said, “I will arrange more men to find him.”

“No need.” Clarence continued, “Is there any news from the men following Justin?”

Nathan heaved a sigh of relief, “Young Master Justin indeed took Dempsey to see doctors in various hospitals after coming to Canada. We’ve gotten rid of several batches of men arranged by Joanna, but these men were all from the Perez family and they had no relationship with the James family.

Clarence said blandly, “It’s just a trick to bewilder us. Joanna’s death has caused great attention. She wouldn’t have left some useless men to him.”

“Then we will keep following him. I guess they will show up soon.”

“Ask our men to come back.”

Nathan was taken aback. He thought he might have misheard it and asked, “Ask them to come back?”

Clarence groaned a nasal sound and added, “It’s no longer necessary to follow him.”

Nathan didn’t ask any other questions and simply replied, “Okay.”

“Have you found Lyndon?”

“Not... Not yet.”

Clarence slightly pressed his lips together and tapped the desk with his long fingers, seeming to be pondering something.

After a long while, he spoke, “Arrange some men to find him. Are you going to postpone this matter until the New Year?”

“I will arrange it right away.”

Don’t let them create any troubles and deal with them in advance.”

“I see.”
