Winnie fell asleep after taking her pills, and her assistance slept on a couch in the living room. It was
very quiet. After midnight, someone sneaked in.
The assistance suddenly felt a glimmer while she turned over. She opened her eyes and was surprised
to see that there was a man so she screamed.
Winnie was woken up by the shout. She turned the light on and ran to living room.
Then she saw her assistance sitting on the cough, looking at a man.
After hearing someone coming, the man turned back and waved to her: “Hi, it’s been a long time.”
Winnie asked: “Vincent James?”
It really had been a long time.
The assistance did know him. She suddenly rose up, ran to Winnie and whispered in alarm: “Winnie,
did you know him?”
Winnie nodded: “he is a friend of Mr. Conrad.”
Then her assistance was confused: “Which Mr. Conrad?”
At the moment, Vincent James was too tired to sit on the cough: “The one more ruthless.”
The assistance whispered: “Both of them are pretty ruthless.”
Vincent made no answer, because she was right.
“Fiona, please close the door.” She pressed her fingers into her temples.
Then she sat opposite: “what are you doing here?”
“I’ve heard you have seen what the face of Justin Conrad's assistance?”
Winnie answered yes.
“You must be careful not to get yourself killed.” Vincent threw his hands open, “I suggest you report the
case to police in the morning. Even if that man can get arrested and detained for only two days, you
still buy yourself some time.”
“I know,” she paused, then said, “why…”
“Clarence Conrad asked me for a look. He said if you were killed after Channing Radomil goes out, it
was possible he risked his life. But Justin Conrad was not as weak as Chassell Barret. Channing
Radomil was no match for him and may come to a bad end.”
Winnie looked down without any word.
Then Vincent stood up and looked at doors and windows: “Be careful these dates. You knew you’re in a
difficult position. Justin Conrad has already laid hands on Clarence, which indicated that he was no
longer masked and is now acting recklessly.”
Then he continued: “You can go to the Stewards' Mansion?”
Winnie puzzled: “The Stewards' Mansion?”
“Stella and her friends are all living here, as well as Sherry and the girl from the James family. You can
live together and it is safer.”
Winnie shook her head: “Thanks.”
After Vincent’s leaving, Winnie sat on the cough for a while and went to police not until dawn.
In the morning, Harris was arrested by police the moment he arrived at office.
All workers seeing it muttered.
Half an hour later, the news about Stella’s new studio where there was a fire and two workers died
became a trending topic online.
The interview about the family of the dead men and an apology from Starry Sky studio had released
before things got worse, drawing people's attention away from the trolls on Twitter.
In the interview, the relatives said that they received condolence and compensation soon after the
accident, which was totally different from what the news said, that the studio did not take responsibility
and tried to hush down the matter.
Starry Sky studio apologized for this incident and announced that they would pay compensation to the
families and guarantee they live a normal life in the future. In addition, this might not be an accident but
purposeful arson according to the words of other workers.
So, the whole case was left to police.
At the same time, the news about the assistance of the CEO of Conrad Group taken away by police
was spread on the internet as well.
People were confused by all these that had happened.
In the studio, Sherry sat on a cough, read the apology, and then put down phone. She looked up at the
ceiling and heaved a heavy sigh: “What the hell! Some people are just malicious!”
Stella only looked at her phone without replying.
Clarence had told her about this in the morning.
Also, it was he who handled it.
It was already over while she even didn’t know how it happened.
She just signed, looking outside and thinking nothing.
Then she suddenly went away while Sherry continued to skim through the comments.
“Sherry, I need to go out for a while.”
Sherry gave a little start for an instant, and then asked: “Where are you going? You need me to
accompany you?”
“No thanks. I'll be back soon.”
Stella directly went to Conrad Group.
A lot of new faces here.
The unfamiliar receptionist stopped her and asked seriously: “Do you have an appointment?”
Stella said to her: “No, but you can call the assistant office and ask them whether the CEO is willing to
see me.”
The receptionist asked about her name then called the assistance office.
Half a minute later, she put down the phone and told Stella, “Mr. Conrad agreed to let you in,” she
glanced at the man behind her, Maxwell, and added: “but only you.”
Maxwell said: “No.”
Stella turned back to him: “Just stay here. I'll be ok.”
“But, Mr. Conrad commanded me to follow you all the time.”
Stella smiled: “It’s ok.”
She looked around and spoke: “So many people see me here. He's not gonna eat me, right?”
Her words had caught much attention.
Quite a few who had recognize her were whispering to each other.
The receptionist said: “Ms. Radomil, this way please.”
Maxwell could only to wait there.
Stella felt nervous in the elevator.
She had come here many times.
Although it looked similar to what it had been, there was something here now that somehow disgusted
her.
The current Conrad Group was more terrifying than the previous Steward Group when under Lyndon
Steward's control.
She could sense corruption and even death here.
