Chapter 16
It was the same part-timer from before.
The two of them simply locked gaze with their chilly eyes. None of them spoke.
Just as Channing was about to move forward again, rence’s bodyguard appeared out of nowhere
and apprehended him.
While the bodyguard was consulting rence’s opinion on how he should handle this young man,,
both Vivian and the manager of Twilight Club arrived at the scene too.
rence seemed like he wasn’t having the best of patience as he ordered curtly, “Call the police.”
Upon seeing this, the manager swiftly came over, “Mr. Conrad, Mr. Conrad, there must be some
misunderstanding here. Channing isn’t like that normally. Hey, Channing, faster apologize to Mr.
Conrad…”
Although Channing’s movement was being constricted, he didn’t look fazed or embarrassed in any
way. He simply replied without any emotion, “I won’t apologize. He knows full well what he has done
before.”
“Then, enlighten me on what I have done before.”
Channing shifted his gaze on Vivian before returning it to him. He then chuckled, “Everyone knows
about your embarrassing stuff. Do you still want me to put it into words?”
Vivian looked like she wanted to refute him, but before she could say anything, she suddenly met
rence’s cold gaze. She could only swallow her words.
The manager said awkwardly, “Mr. Conrad, previously when you and Vivian did that… in front of the
Twilight Club, a lot of people have witnessed that scene.”
rence nced at Channing a few more times before ordering his man to bring him away.
rence said to the manager, “Give me his details.”
With how this young man was behaving, he couldn’t be a kind man who wanted to dabble in other’s
business because of injustice.
When the manager hurried off, Vivian anxiously said, “Mr. Conrad, I…”
“I am not that kind and patient. You should keep to yourself what I have given you, and those that I
have not given you, you don’t even try to challenge my limit.”
After saying that, he immediately went into an empty suite just beside him.
Vivian stood rooted to the spot with her teeth gnashed. How could this be? How could Ste end up in
the Conrad family just because she had used some methods, but how could she end up with nothing
here?
In no time, the manager came over with Channing’s information, “Mr. Conrad, these are everything you
have asked for.”
rence nced at the documents and said in a faint voice, “Channing Radomil.”
“Right… Mr. Conrad, Channing is…”
“Does he have a sister?”
The manager looked confused, “I had never heard him mentioning about it.”
rence put down the documents and gave the manager a number, “Call to verify.”
…
Eleven o’clock at night.
Ste was lying in bed after a bath, and when she was about to enjoy some music before sleeping, her
phone suddenly rang.
A voice asked her at the other end, “May I know is this Miss Ste Radomil?”
“I am. May I know who is speaking?”
“I am the manager of Twilight Club. Miss Radomil, is Channing your brother?”
When she heard the words “Twilight Club”, she suddenly felt a head ache. At the mention of her
brother’s name, she hesitated slightly before answering, “Yes, what happened to him?”
The manger was very polite, “Channing is one of our part-timers here, but he has hit a customer just
now. I might need you toe here.”
Ste answered while shoving aside her nket, “I’ll be there soon!”
“Miss Radomil, you don’t need to hurry over. Take your time.”
“…”
After hanging up, Ste hastily changed her clothes and as she dashed out of her bedroom, Sherry
asked, “Ste, where are you going now at such ate hour?”
Ste updated her with the situation, “Channing has beaten someone. I need to go take a look.”
“What the…?” Sherry sounded alert immediately, “Wait me for a moment, let me get a change of
clothes. I’ll send you there by car.”
After twenty minutes, a car stopped right in front of Twilight Club.
Ste and Sherry made their ways inside with one in front of the other. They walked all the way to a
VIP suite on the second floor. The manager standing outside said, “Only Miss Radomil is allowed to go
in.”
Sherry wasn’t all too reassured letting Ste going in alone, and when she wanted to raised her
concerns, Ste interrupted her, “Sherry, just wait for me here.” After saying that, she looked at the
always smiling manager and felt that something was amiss here. So, she added in a whisper, “If I don’t
come out in ten minutes, call the police.”
The manager pushed the door of the suite open, “Miss Radomil, this way.”
After Ste entered, the door was mmed shut.
Ste gazed at the now shut door and her hand subconsciously tightened around her phone as she
made her way deeper into the suite.
After only taking a few steps, she saw a man with his eyes lightly shut sitting on a sofa.
Ste didn’t say anything at the moment.
She stopped short and said, “Mr. Conrad.”
The man didn’t stir, as if he had fallen asleep.
After waiting for close to thirty seconds, she then began again, “Mr. Conrad, if nothing concerns me
here, please allow me to… take my leave.”
“Ste.”
rence slowly opened his eyes and revealed a chilly gaze directed at her, “At first, it was your dad.
Now, it’s your little brother. Why don’t you tell me what do you actually want from me?”
“I don’t know what you are…”
“If you cane out straight with what you want, perhaps I would still be in the mood to fulfil your
cheap wishes. But if you still can’t be satisfied and n to continue this farce, then don’t me me for
being heartless.”
Ste bit her lips, not knowing what to say to that.
Just now when she saw rence, coupled with the manager’s strange attitude, she thought that
rence wanted to lure her here purposely.
However, after hearing what he had to say, that was obviously not the case.
Under the glow of the dim lighting, Ste finally discovered that rence’s lips were slightly chapped at
the edges. There was a light red scar there.

After a brief silence, she began, “Did Channinge to meet you?”
rence stood up and approached her inrge strides, “What do you think?”
Ste was forced to the corner of the walls, which allowed her to get a good look of the wound on her
mouth and some bruises on his skin.
rence’s ck eyes were narrowed, and his long fingers lifted her chin upwards, “Do you think I will
trust you?”
Ste met his emotionless gaze and stammered, “There’s nothing I can do even if you don’t believe
me. Channing knows that I am going to divorce you, and maybe he thought that you had done
something unforgivable towards me. That’s why he…”
“Then, please tell me, what kind of unforgivable things I have done to you?”
Ste was once again silent. She averted her gaze away.
Didn’t he know full well what he had done? Did he really want to hear it from someone’s mouth?
Or did he feel proud of his past actions?
rence saw that she couldn’t bring herself to answer, so he answered in her ce, “Your little brother
thought that I have cheated on you with Vivian, and I even made her pregnant. Do you think so too?”
Ste let out a perfunctoryugh after an awkward silence, “Mr. Conrad, you must be kidding me. I
never think like that.”
For someone like him, even if he really cheated, that wouldn’t count too. People would say that he was
going after his true love. She wasn’t qualified to criticize him in any way.
rence let go of her and turned towards the sofa, “Come here.”
Ste was in the wrong here, so she could only follow him.
rence once again sat down on the sofa and crossed his long legs. He nced at a first-aid kit on the
table and jerked up his chin lightly at it.
Ste twitched her mouth as she took out a cotton swab and iodine. She dutifully treated his wound,
but she couldn’t help muttering, “If I camete just now, your wound would have healed.”
rence looked up at her faintly and said all of a sudden, “Vivian is not pregnant.”
