Chapter 255: Chapter 255

When Conrad Sterling received the call from Mary, he was still at the office. He rushed to the KTV where Anna Thornton was, only to find the woman drunk and unconscious.

Leaving behind a mess, waiting for Conrad Sterling to clean up.

Fortunately, what might seem like a mess to others was a simple matter for President Sterling.

Just now, Anna had offended a renowned director in the industry and several wealthy investors in one go. Hank Warner had made up his mind not to let Anna leave tonight, even planning to blacklist her.

But no one expected Anna to say she could call someone over with a single phone call to make them all run with their tail between their legs. Turns out, she wasn’t bluffing.

When it comes to wealth and influence, who in Aethelgard stands a chance against President Sterling now?

As soon as Conrad Sterling appeared, Director Warner’s bravado immediately shrank.

"President Sterling, what wind blew you here?"

"I heard my artist encountered some trouble here?"

"Uh... are you referring to Anna Thornton? Miss Thornton got drunk and mistakenly barged into our private room, indeed causing a bit of conflict with me. But it’s all settled now; it was just a misunderstanding."

"Since it was a misunderstanding, why not take her away?" Conrad Sterling signaled to Mary.

"Oh." Mary quickly supported the unconscious Anna Thornton, seizing the moment to leave this troublesome place with President Sterling backing them up.

Conrad Sterling also didn’t plan to stay long. He turned and walked behind them.

Looking just like a tall knight protecting Anna Thornton.

Hank Warner watched the two leaving backs and couldn’t help but be puzzled: "Previously, there was news that after Marilyn Ford terminated her contract with Starlight Entertainment, Anna Thornton would be the next actress the company would promote. But Conrad Sterling has always stayed out of matters relating to the entertainment industry. They could never secure a project investment with him, so why did he come personally today for a minor artist from a subordinate company?"

Allegedly, Conrad Sterling had even attended their movie premiere personally last time.

Could there be something fishy between these two?

Conrad Sterling entered the elevator together with Mary and Anna. Mary supported Anna, stealthily glancing at President Sterling’s face, which didn’t look too good.

Anna was drunk. Mary didn’t want to be alone in the narrowly quiet elevator with President Sterling, so she found an excuse to contact Quinn Locke and the others, taking out her phone to make a call.

As long as she kept talking, she wouldn’t be so afraid.

However, just as the elevator doors were about to close, someone suddenly chased up.

A young girl, out of breath, ran into the elevator, gazing at Conrad Sterling: "President Sterling, do you remember me? I’m Riley Osborne!"

Riley Osborne was also in the private room where Anna made a scene earlier. She was one of the artists Hank Warner brought to accompany the investors for dinner and drinks.

But since she wasn’t used to such occasions, she kept quietly in the corner, thus remaining unnoticed.

Conrad Sterling indifferently glanced at her: "Don’t remember."

At his words, Riley Osborne lowered her head in disappointment, but this was expected.

"That’s true. It’s been a while since our last meeting. As a busy person like you, it’s normal not to remember me."

"But I just want to tell you, I have always remembered what you said, and I’ve been working hard for it. Some things I can’t do now, but when I have enough abilities in the future, I will not let him go. By the way, recently I was fortunate to join a renowned drama troupe to hone my acting skills. Next week the drama troupe’s performance, if President Sterling you have time, you could come and watch."

By the time Riley Osborne finished speaking, the elevator had already arrived at the first floor.

Mary had already ended her call, watching Conrad Sterling and this brave young girl with a gaze as if she were eating popcorn.

However, our President Sterling seemed to have heard nothing but chatter and directly walked out of the elevator, leaving behind a light reply: "No time."

Actually, she already knew the answer but couldn’t resist trying.

Before rejection, Riley Osborne still held hope, thinking perhaps he would treat her differently.

Mary supported Anna and walked out of the elevator with Conrad Sterling. Anna suddenly whimpered.

The man walking ahead immediately stopped, turned back with concern, only to run into Anna about to vomit.

The man got pulled by his collar and vomited all over, yet surprisingly, he wasn’t angry.

He let Mary support Anna into the car first, Conrad Sterling took off his coat and tossed it into the trash, and upon returning, he even bought her a bottle of water.

Only then did Riley Osborne realize he could be gentle and considerate towards women, just that the person wasn’t herself.

After bringing Anna Thornton home, Conrad Sterling was initially working in the study.

Suddenly hearing a commotion, as if a hundred or so people had barged into their home.

But actually, Anna had woken up, jumping and shouting, singing in her room.

"Don’t say that the green mountains block the way~ The wind is strong, the wind is wild~ White clouds can convey emotions over the peaks~"

Anna not only sang by herself but also woke up little Pop as an audience.

When Conrad Sterling went to their room, he saw Anna singing crazily on the bed, while Pop had moved a little stool and sat clapping lively along.

"Thank you, everyone~"

"The nostalgic golden oldies session is over, I see there are kids in the audience, next I’ll bring a song everyone likes, ’Persian Cat’~ Thank you for coming to my concert~"

"Persian cat squints its eyes~ Persian cat tiptoes~"

Conrad Sterling: "..."

Finally unable to tolerate the mother and daughter duo, Conrad Sterling directly barged in and scooped Pop back onto the bed.

The little one hummed along with mommy while in daddy’s arms: "Persian cat~ Meow meow meow~"

Looks like if Anna Thornton doesn’t stop being a nuisance today, Pop won’t be able to sleep.

With the goal of eliminating the trouble for his daughter, Conrad Sterling directly hoisted the still scandalizing Anna off the bed and carried her to his room. Check latest chapters at ⓝovelFire.net

"Ouch~" Anna got thrown onto the bed, yet her mouth still wouldn’t rest, "Let’s learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow meow~ Thanks for the applause, I owe this great voice to my agent! Thanks to my fans!"

"Anna Thornton, shut up!"

Anna flipped over on the bed. Her energy and vigor seem particularly abundant today.

But Conrad Sterling was already out of patience: "Believe it or not, I’ll muzzle you so you won’t have the energy to make a fuss today?"

"I don’t believe..." Anna tried to continue singing but was immediately silenced by Conrad Sterling, "Mm! No!"

Conrad Sterling’s so-called ’muzzling’ was actually a forceful kiss.

How long had he not touched her?

This woman was simply addictive. Just one touch was enticing, making people crave more.

Conrad Sterling’s anger surged from his abdomen, washing over his body, but in the next second, it was dissipated by Anna’s slap.

"Don’t touch me! You bastard! Give me back my son! Give him back to me!"

Seeing the resentment in the woman’s eyes, Conrad Sterling finally understood: "This is the real reason for your outburst tonight, isn’t it? What made you think of unhappy things again?"

"This is all your doing!"

"Conrad Sterling, this is all your doing!

Facing Anna’s blame, Conrad Sterling found no way to refute.

Thus, when the woman fiercely bit his neck, he didn’t dodge but instead held Anna tightly, letting her release her emotions.

"Anna, are you really that resentful of me?"

"If you truly can’t let go, maybe we could have another child?"
