For $s<t$,
$$
e^{-rt}S_t=e^{-rs}S_s
\exp\left(-\frac12\sigma^2(t-s)+\sigma(W_t-W_s)\right).
$$
The increment is independent of the Brownian filtration at time $s$, and its exponential factor has mean one by the Gaussian moment-generating <function>. Hence the conditional expectation of the discounted time-$t$ price is the discounted time-$s$ price.
