Conrad Sterling returned to the company, and it was already past nine in the evening.
The other staff had left for ho, and on his desk, the pending docunts that had been delayed all afternoon were neatly arranged, along with an urgent package from Crestlight Hospital.
Conrad Sterling’s tall figure leaned back in the executive chair, his gaze fixed on the urgent package with an unreadable expression. He hesitated for a full ten minutes before reaching out to take it.
The weight of this package was actually very light, as it contained only one sheet of paper.
Regarding the paternity test... Conrad Sterling indeed had initiated it a few days ago, and today he finally received the results.
That little woman, Anna Thornton, seed to have anticipated everything in advance.
Upon returning to the country, she willingly took Pop to a private hospital under the Sterling Group, leaving behind the child’s DNA sample, as if fearing that this man wouldn’t investigate.
Conrad Sterling’s actions as he opened the urgent package were noticeably more careful than when signing billion-dollar contracts. Gingerly extracting the paper from the envelope, Conrad habitually skimd over the irrelevant content, focusing only on the result – the current test supports that Mr. Conrad Sterling is the biological father of the DNA sample.
...
What gave Conrad Sterling a headache wasn’t just this paternity test result.
A well-known dia outlet suddenly released a set of photos showing Anna Thornton being dropped off at ho by a luxury car at night, which went viral the next day.
Since her high-profile return and the press conference, the focus on Anna Thornton had been relentless. She had publicly confessed to having a child out of wedlock, and the dia were eagerly speculating about the father’s identity. The exposure of this set of photos was like adding fuel to a raging gossip fire.
Soon, soone dug up information on that exorbitantly priced Ferrari, a global limited edition of only three, of which there was currently only one in the country – the luxury car’s owner being the young and promising CEO of Sterling Group, Conrad Sterling.
And shortly after, the revelation of another set of photos confird this speculation.
This set of photos was clearer than the previous one, and the shooting distance was closer. It clearly showed Anna Thornton in an ill-fitted n’s suit, leaning against the Ferrari’s door and chatting with the person inside.
The car window beside her was only halfway down, but soone had captured the driver’s face from a tricky angle.
Although the entire face wasn’t fully captured, it was already sufficient evidence to identify Conrad Sterling.
After all, President Sterling’s handso face was exceptionally striking and hard to confuse with the average person.
It seed that being too good-looking and wealthy could sotis beco a disadvantage.
As everyone knows, Conrad Sterling is the behind-the-scenes president of Dynasty Entertainnt.
Recently, there was a rumor that Anna Thornton was about to sign with Dynasty Entertainnt, but it was denied with a statent, making many people criticize her for hype.
However, after this twist of events, it’s unclear whose face has been slapped?
Even the person in charge of the entertainnt company called the Headquarters of Sterling Group, nervously inquiring Conrad Sterling: "President Sterling, the statent we had on our official website and blog has been retracted. Do we need to issue another statent to apologize to Miss Thornton?"
After all, they had harshly stated not knowing this newly returned female star and would not sign her.
Yet they were rely following upper managent’s orders, and they didn’t realize there might be a problem sowhere in the process. They didn’t expect President Sterling to have a private relationship with her.
Conrad Sterling was too lazy to deal with these boring speculations from his subordinates and directly cut off the call.
Frowning with irritation, he asked Ethan, who was waiting in the office for instructions, "Have you handled the news?"
"President Sterling, those two sets of photos have been dealt with, but this ti the news spread through the internet, which is not as easy to manage as last ti’s magazine..."
"Are you saying it can’t be stopped?"
Conrad Sterling looked up at Ethan, who hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead.
How could he phrase it?
The main issue was that President Sterling usually didn’t handle entertainnt matters, so he wasn’t aware of how fast gossip could spread.
Normally, even a little rumor about stars could cause an uproar, let alone this major scandal!
A glamorous and sexy female star, with a handso and wealthy CEO, a nocturnal rendezvous, a luxury car dropping off – these elents pieced together were already enough for people to imagine a tantalizing drama.
Moreover, it involved the actress Marilyn Ford.
Love triangles, sugar daddy relationships, car sex... which of these aren’t the dia and the public’s favorite topics?
Of course, car sex was just Ethan’s imagination and speculation, which made him feel even more guilty.
"President Sterling, I think the most important issue right now is Miss Ford. It’s been two hours since the photos were released, and Miss Ford hasn’t called to inquire, possibly because she hasn’t seen them yet... Should you explain things to her first?"
Actually, what Ethan wanted to express was for Conrad Sterling to give Marilyn Ford a heads-up.
After all, in his mind, the car sex had already happened. He personally witnessed President Sterling driving Miss Thornton away yesterday, and it was obvious whom President Sterling spent the afternoon with afterward.
It wasn’t surprising for those with power and influence to have a few close female friends.
Marilyn Ford, being in the entertainnt industry, must have seen nurous money-related transactions and wouldn’t be surprised by such matters.
As long as President Sterling made it clear to her that it was just casual fun, she probably wouldn’t mind.
What Ethan could think of, Conrad Sterling surely wouldn’t miss?
When Conrad Sterling realized he was photographed while dropping Anna Thornton off last night, he had already blocked all possibilities for Marilyn Ford to see the news.
After all, he didn’t believe any paparazzi could take such clear photos of him without inside help.
Clearly, it was the deliberate arrangent of that woman, Anna Thornton.
Fine, playing such a tasteless trick right under his nose...
It seed that little woman had beco tired of living!
