    Chapter 124


    Time passed without them realizing it, and the atmosphere in the cafe was getting heavier.


    Yvonne originally thought that she would feel relieved after her misunderstanding was resolved. But


    after she learned about what Ste was facing, she couldn’t help worrying about her. “Are you sure you


    don’t need my help?” Ste shook her head. “I don’t want to drag you into this.”


    She knew how high Weston’s status was. Although she did not know much about social ss, she


    knew he was not someone to mess with judging from the attitude of the other people.


    Yvonne was also the wife of a rich man. But if she interfered rashly, it would have a great impact on her


    as well as Lucas.


    The rtionship between the rich families was veryplicated. It was not simply about right and


    wrong. And Ste was fully aware of this.


    But the more she showed understanding, the more Yvonne felt aggrieved for her.


    “I didn’t expect Weston to be so simr with all those filthy men in private. He looks very much like a


    decent man.”


    He already had a family, but he was still messing around outside! Ste was already a bit numb hearing


    this. “I have promised my student to go to her house today. It’s almost time, so I can’t stay for long.”


    Yvonne did not say anything.


    Her heart felt heavy. After Ste left, she called Lucas.


    It took him a long time to pick up the call.


    “What is it?” The man sounded cool, and his tone was urgent, as if he was busy.

    Yvonne paused and looked at the time.


    It was already past office hours now, but he was still working.


    All the words were choked in her throat. She shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to


    remind you to have a proper meal.”


    She heard footsteps from the other end of the phone, followed by Lucas’ somewhat helpless voice.


    “You don’t have to remind me about these things. It was me who forgot to ask you if you’ve been


    having your meals on time.” She wanted to tell him that she had when something seemed to have


    happened on his end. She heard the man say hastily, “There is something I need to deal with. Bye.” If it


    was in the past, she would feel very annoyed.


    But because of what happened to Ste, she became much more tolerant of his busyness.


    When there was a point ofparison, one could see the difference. Compared to Weston, she felt


    that Lucas was simply too good.


    ***


    Because of the incidentst time, Yvonne contacted Smith in advance this time and sent a car directly


    to pick Ste up. Ste memorized the route in silence when she came here. After she arrived, she


    tidied her dress and entered the gate under the guidance of the servants.


    They had probably been informed in advance. When she came, everyone greeted her as Miss Steele.


    “Mr. Smith is on the phone. You can wait here, and we shall serve you some tea. Mr. Smith wille


    later to discuss the details of your sry with you.” She nodded and surveyed the furnishing of the vi.


    After a while, a plump middle-aged man with a bright smile came in from the balcony. He saw Ste


    from far away. “Hello, Miss Steele.” He nced at the time. “It’s just about time. Ruby just finished her


    tuition. You can take her to the dance studio anytime.”


    She stood up and greeted him politely. “Shouldn’t I get to know the child first?” She thought that she


    was onlying for a trial first, but Mr. Smith shook his head and said with a smile, “You were


    rmended by my acquaintance. You look reliable at first nce, so I have total confidence in you.”
