Chapter 210
Conrad’s eyes lit up, and he no longer looked as embarrassed. “That’s right, Miss Pond. Since the
vigers grow their own vegetables, they aren’t filled with pesticides. We can eat them without worry. If
you like them, I’ll pick some for you when you depart.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
“I’ll leave you to your food. Once you’re done eating clean them upter and bring you around the
vige.”
“Okay.”
After Conrad left, Silvia turned to Eva and Joe.
“Let’s eat.”
just leave the bowls on the table. I’ll
They had not managed to eat breakfast that morning. Eva and Joe sat beside Silvia and ate in silence.
Eva did not expect the food to taste so good since they did not look fancy. She did not even realize it
when she got a second helping.
After lunch, Conrad took them on a tour around the vige.
A little over one hundred people lived in Ten Miles Vige. The young adults had all left for work. The
only ones still around were children and adults who were not highly educated.
As Conrad walked ahead, he introduced the vige to Silvia. When they came to a crossroad, at girl
suddenly ran over and bumped into Silvia.
“Eep!”
The girl’s bowl fell out of her hands, and she fell forward as well.
Silvia grabbed the girl and caught the bowl that had sl*pped from her hands. Before the others could
register what just happened, she had handed the bowl back to the girl.
“That must have been scary,” she spoke gently with a faint smile. The girl was stunned to the point that
she forgot to take the bowl.
Conrad looked at her and asked, “Autumn? Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Autumn snapped out of her daze and took the bowl. “Chris is back, Mr. rk. I’m just on my way to
give him some food.”
Conrad chuckled. “Chris already had dinner.”
“That won’t stop me from giving him food.”
“Alright. Off you go.”
After Autumn left, Conrad said, “Chris used to live in our vige before he left to look for work. A talent
scout discovered him, and he became an actor. Apparently, he won an award not long ago.”
Silvia was shocked. She only realized that Autumn was talking about Chris Rios when Conrad
provided more information.
“Mr. rk, are you referring to the actor, Chris Rios?”
He nodded. “Yes. He’s really famous. It looks like you know him too.”
She did not expect Ten Miles Vige to be Chris’s hometown, “Yeah, I do know him,” she said.
Conrad was stunned. “Since you know him, let me take you to his house. In any case, you’re bound to
meet him over the next few days.
“Alright.”
On their way to Chris’s house, Conrad wondered if it would be easier to secure the business deal
because Silvia knew Chris.
Just as they reached his house, they heard Chris teaching Autumn how to read. Conrad then knocked
on the door.
Chris opened it soon after and smiled when he saw Conrad.
“Hello, Mr. rk…”
However, he was surprised to see Silvia standing beside him. “What brings you here, Silvia?”
She smiled and said, “I’ve been looking for supplierstely. When I saw the textile factory in Ten Miles
Vige, I decided to check it out.”
Chris nodded. “Oh, yes. I heard Mr. rk talking about it a few days ago.”
П
“I wasn’t expecting the vige to be your hometown. Have you been here during your entire break?”
There was a strange look in his eyes, but he smiled and said, “That’s right. I alwayse back here
when I don’t have any work.”
Lately, the Rios Family had been contacting him frequently and asking him to return to the family.
However, he did not want to deal with them, so he came here to hide.
“We won’t be bothering you, then.”
Chris stared at her. Although he had a myriad of things to say to her, he did not know where to start, so
he nodded and said, “Alright.”

Conrad sent them back to their amodation. Before he left, he looked at Silvia and said, Miss
Pond, I’ll pick you up at 8 a.m. tomorrow for the factory visit.“
