Chapter 15


    After some time, he summoned Nathan from outside, “Go and ask Francis about this. Investigate what


    was going on back then.”


    “Roger.”


    Nathan left with his head drooped.


    He only knew that Ste needed money at that time, which was the reason he had deliberately set up a


    trap. However, he didn’t know that there had been some incidents before that.


    If Ste had known that the sponsor of the new designerpetition was the Conrad family, then it


    was very likely that her intrusion into his life was no mere coincidence.


    In the resting room of the Twilight Club, a few waiters were preparing for shift change. One of them


    said, “Hey, I saw Vivianing in just now. She seems to be visiting this ce pretty often.”


    “Didn’t you know who is visiting today too? It would be strange if she doesn’t appear.”


    Another chipped in, “Did you see what happen in front of the Twilight Club a while ago? Vivian was


    really fearless. Not only she is bearing Mr. Conrad’s child, she even unted herself in front of Mrs.


    Conrad. She was making such a huge scene as if she wanted everyone to know that she is the


    mistress.”


    In one corner, a figure froze.


    “You have to figure out why she is willing to be the mistress. Being able to suck up to someone like Mr.


    Conrad, not to mention bearing his child, it is obvious Vivian is mustering all of her strength to bring


    Mrs. Conrad down. She wants to make her way into the noble family. If she could marry into the


    Conrad family, she would suddenly be a phoenix from a pigeon. She would be the officialdy of


    the family instead of being the mistress.”


    “I noticed something weird about him too. Mr. Conrad always visited the club with his band of brothers,


    but I never saw him bring along Mrs. Conrad. Do they not have a harmonic rtionship?”


    “You wouldn’t know the truth if I don’t tell you now. Back then, the current Mrs. Conrad was able to


    marry into the family because she had employed some scheming methods. I heard about this from my


    previous manager that she was sold to the Twilight Club by someone, and for some reason she was


    able to lie in the same bed as Mr. Conrad. She used the child she was bearing at that time to threaten


    him so that she could be part of the Conrads, and the Conrads didn’t want the esction of this


    sort of thing to affect their reputation, so they allowed her to get her way to marry into the family. After


    that, for another strange reason, it was said that she no longer had the child.”


    “That’s right, I heard about the same thing too. I heard that Mr. Conrad was annoyed by her, and he


    wouldn’t even touch her normally. Otherwise, what could exin the fact that they didn’t even have a


    child despite being together for three years? You must be aware that reputable families always


    prioritized the carrying on of their bloodline. Now that Vivian was pregnant, I have a feeling that she


    could no longer keep her ce in the family.”


    With a loud bang, the door of one of the locker was mmed shut with force.


    A youngster with an unfriendly expression emerged from a corner and gazed at them coldly. Then, he


    left with no discernible emotion on his face.


    A voiceined, “What tantrum is he throwing? It’s not like anybody has offended you.”


    “He’s just a part-timer here. He sees too highly of himself just because the manager has taken a liking


    to him.”


    “Don’t mention it. The manager told me that he’s the top ace of the district, and he is also a locker in his


    own right. It’s not weird for the manager to be crazy about him.”


    Channing headed to the bar, and the manager was summoning someone to send over some alcohol to


    the suite where rence was in. He volunteered, “Let me do it.”


    Coincidentally, one of his colleagues had a stomach ache, so he handed the alcohol to him, “Channing,


    I heard that Mr. Conrad is in a bad mood today. You need to watch out. Just get out of there after


    sending these in.”


    “Got it.”


    When Channing pushed the door of the suite open, Vivian was seated next to him, and she looked like


    she wanted to ster herself all over him.


    Channing abruptly ced the alcohol bottles on the table and said with a mechanical voice, “Your wine


    is here.”


    Vivian was startled by his movements, and she stopped short on what she was doing.


    Ever since thatst time, Vivian never got the chance to meet rence. Today, she learnt that he was


    in the Twilight Club, albeit a rare urrence, she came over in a hurry.


    Even until now, she was still perplexed by what rence was really thinking. It was obvious he had


    given her a chance and allowed her to be by his side, but it was just that. They never got things going.


    When the matter about her fake pregnancy was exposedst time, Vivian thought that rence would


    be fuming with fury, but in the end he just gave her some warning. She was still enjoying those


    resources he had given her, so to her that meant she still had a chance.


    Now that everyone was taking her as a fool andbelled her as a temporary ything of rence.


    They said that she was not worthy to sleep in the same bed as rence, therefore she was here today


    in the hopes of altering those public opinion. She needed to achieve something.


    After being spooked by Channing, she suppressed her anger and prevented herself from running


    amok. She said to rence gently, “Mr. Conrad, you look pretty drunk now. Shall I drive you home?


    Ah!”


    Vivian was soaking wet now after some alcohol had been poured onto her body. She stood up while


    screaming, “What the hell are you doing?”


    Channing looked unconcerned as he picked up the ss on the table, “I’m sorry, my hand slipped.”


    Vivian saw that this waiter looked a little handsome, and she couldn’t bring herself tosh out at him.


    Just as she was about to take a shower in the washroom, Vincent who was watching this spectacle


    suddenly spoke, “Young man, why in such a foul mood? I have seen everything just now.”


    “Oh, I did that on purpose.”


    This time, not only Vivian reignited her mes of anger, rence raised his eyes slightly and shot a


    nce at him too.


    Vivian cursed at him, “Are you nuts? Did I offend you in any way?”


    “You…”


    Vivian was so furious that she couldn’t produce any response at the moment. Her face was looking


    very ugly and contorted.


    At that moment, the manager came in because of thismotion, and he immediately bowed to


    apologize, “Mr. Conrad, Miss Sean, please ept my apologies. This young man here is a new part-


    timer, and he has offended you because he’s not familiar with the ways here.”


    “Not familiar with the ways? Look at him. Do you think he’s not familiar with the rules? He has said so


    himself that he had done that on purpose. If you can’t exin things until I’m satisfied, don’t think you


    can just get away with it!”


    “I’m really, really sorry, Miss Sean. This is indeed our wrong.” The manager continued to apologize


    while pulling Channing on the side, “Channing,e, apologize to this miss here.”


    Channing said nothing as he stood there without moving an inch. He just stared at the man on the sofa.


    rence stood up without any interest in the matter in front of his eyes. He simply said to Vincent, “I


    am leaving now.”

    “Mr. Conrad, let me send you off…”


    When Vivian saw that he was about to leave, she suddenly felt panic. She couldn’t care about


    retaliating against Channing as she scurried forward to catch up to him.


    However, after just taking a step, her feet were tripped by something. Just as she was about to fall


    down after losing her bnce, she was prevented from crashing to the floor by a hand grabbing her.


    She looked up and realized that it was the same young man. He was smiling smugly with the corner of


    his lips lifted, and there was no warmth in his eyes at all.


    He was the one who had tripped her, and he was also the one who had helped her to stand.


    Vivian was on the verge of exploding, and just as she was about tounch into a frenzy, he suddenly


    flung away her arm and walked forward in big strides.


    Vivian couldn’t find an outlet for her anger. She could only stomp the floor vehemently before breaking


    into a chase.


    Outside the suite, rence was holding a phone with one hand, and he had typed a number on his


    dial. However, he didn’t call the number.


    At the thought of Ste’s reminiscence of her Puppy Love at the press conference, he couldn’t help


    feeling that this woman was really unruly.


    With the age she was at now, it wasughable for her to still talk about her Puppy Love.


    With this thought in mind, he felt even more and more reluctant to call this number. rence shoved


    his phone into his pocket, and in the next second, a blow suddenlynded on his face.


    He staggered backwards while trying to wipe off the blood stain on his lips. He looked up coldly.
