    Chapter 726


    An hourter, Ss came to tell them that the ranch had prepared lunch for them. Fia rejected their


    offer because she wanted to make lunch for Conrad at home.


    Conrad worried that she would get too tired after visiting so many ces today. He hugged her and


    whispered in her ear, “We live together now. There’s still a chance for you to cook for me. For now, let’s


    Just have lunch at the ranch here, okay?”


    Ss agreed, “I couldn’t agree more, Besides, the ranch has new dishes on their menu. I bet they


    would suit your taste, Madam!”


    “Oh, what are they?” Fia was curious.


    “There’s roasted pork, roasted meats on sticks, and spicy squid and prawn! If you want some other


    food, I can ask the ranch to prepare something else.”


    Fia nodded. “Those sound great. Let’s go!”


    Ss led them to the restaurant attached to the ranch. They had already arranged for a private booth


    for their CEO. When they were about to enter the booth, Conrad felt a strong pushing from behind.


    He quickly circled his arm around Fia’s waist and turned to kick the person behind.


    Victor, who was trying to assault them, was kicked right in the stomach. He rubbed his stomach and


    red at his cousin.


    “Conrad, you rascal!” Victor barked at Conrad angrily.


    Fia knew that Conrad and Tyler were nning to reim that hotel in Oceania. She did not know the


    full story. However, seeing how furious Victor was at Conrad, she could guess that they seeded.


    “Do you have any idea how much effort I had spent to get that hotel? Yet, you and Tyler worked


    together to rob it from me! Why did you do it? Is it because of that time when danger befell Fia in that


    hotel? I told you it wasn’t my doing! I even apologized! Yet, you still hold a grudge!”


    Conrad looked at his cousin coldly, not saying a word. It was a waste of time trying to talk to him.


    “Ss, throw him out of the premises.”


    “Yes, sir!” Ss summoned the bodyguards to drag Victor out. Along the way, Victor kept cursing at


    Conrad, using him of ying dirty, and attracted the attention of other visitors of the ranch.


    Fia looked at Conrad and asked, “Why did you not tell him the truth?”


    “What truth?” Conrad smiled and escorted her into the booth.


    Ss, seeing this, ordered the waiters to serve the meals. After all the food was served, they left and


    closed the door, giving the couple a personal space in the booth.


    –Conrad put some food on Fia’s te, appearing to be unaffected by the scene that Victor made


    earlier. Fia said, “That hotel was controlled by some organization from the underworld. Victor doesn’t


    know that. If he obtains that hotel, he would get involved and might get framed for crimes that he didn’t


    commit.”


    Conrad raised his head and asked, “You knew?”


    “I passed by the study and overheard a little of your conversation with Tyler.”


    “I see.” Conrad lowered his gaze and continued peeling the shell of a prawn.


    Fia looked at him and asked cautiously, “Aren’t you angry that I eavesdropped on you?”


    “No, I’m not angry.” Conrad put the prawn, with its shell freshly peeled, on her te and said, “I’m just


    worried that it would affect your mood If you learned of this.”


    was stunned hearing this. Indeed, she did feel a little upset after learning about this. She knew


    Conrad never got along with Victor. So, he would not bother to exin himself to Victor,


    Victor, however, tended to act radically. If he did not understand why Conrad did what he did, Victor


    might’hold a dreadful grudge.


    “Sometimes, it might be best to exin the whole story to him.”


    “He’ll understand one day.” Conrad suddenly thought of something. He looked at Fia and asked, “Is Ms.


    Reid older than you?”


    Fia answered while munching a prawn, “Yes. Just a little older than me.”


    “When did she join the entertainment industry?”


    “She debuted when she was in her first year in college.”


    Suddenly, Conrad’s face became gloomy as he tried to suppress his spection. Seeing him getting


    gloomy all a sudden, Fia asked, “What’s wrong?”

    “No, nothing. I’m just trying to learn more about her so that we can work out a career n for her.”


    “Ah, 1 see.”


    Conrad felt relieved to see Fia not pressing on further. After finishing their meal, they took a stroll


    around. the ranch. Along the way, they happened upon an archery range.  stopped and watched a


    group of young people shooting arrows.


    After watching them for a while, Fia mumbled, “Why are they having so much fun when they’re so bad


    at it?”
