Chapter 23
She took the IOU, carefully knocked on the door of the study and repeatedly said that she would
certainly find a way to return the money to him.
During the whole process, rence kept looking at her coldly and his eyes were full of mockery and
disdain.
During that time, she could hardly get out of bed and her whole body was full of revenge done by him.
When rence gave her the money, he said sarcastically without any disguise, “Don’t need to return it.
Isn’t this the reason why you used so many means to marry me?”
Ste did not say anything. Thanks to the capitalist who criticized her for not having a dream, she really
did not have money to pay back now.
But, she did not care whether rence did not let her return or not. She still left the IOU with him.
But, it sounded right too. They had already divorced so it was reasonable that he asked her to return
the money to him.
Sherry, who was watching the drama in the room happily, suddenly heard the ‘bang’ sounds from the
kitchen.
She walked over and asked, “Dear, what are you chopping?”
“rence!”
“Huh?”
Ste calmed down and looked at the ginger that had been crumbled in front of her. She finally
returned to normal, “Nothing, I have to go outter. You don’t have to wait for me, go to bed early.”
Without even guessing, Sherry could know that rence was looking for her trouble again. She
frowned and said, “What does he want to do again, you guys have already divorced but he still doesn’t
want to stop.”
“Forget it, it’s because I owe him.”
“It’s fine now but after two months, your belly will be bigger and by that time, you can’t hide it
anymore.”
The knife in Ste’s hand was hanging in the air. She did not say anything for a while.
Yeah, as long as the two-million-yuan debt was not paid off, she would always owe rence and would
never be able to stay away from him.
Based on rence’s personality, if he knew she was pregnant now, he might have held her down on
the operating table to prevent her from coercing him using this excuse to let him remarry her again.
After a while, Ste said, “I’ll talk clearly to him tonight.”
An hourter, in Starry Lake Mansion…
When the doorbell rang, the maid, who was in torment, immediately made a beeline for the door to
open it. Her smile that was formed just now as if she had be the survivor of a disaster abruptly
disappeared when she saw the person outside the door.
When rence came downstairs and saw the maiding in with a young man who was carrying a
thermally insted container, his face turned livid.
The young man was also shocked by the spiritless atmosphere. He stammered while asking, “Is…is
this Mr. Conrad? This is the thing that Ms. Radomil gave you. You should have a pickup code in the
message on your phone, can…can you give me?”
“…”
rence pursed his thin lips, contained his anger and took out the phone.
After the young man obtained the pickup code, he ran away quickly.
Less than two minutes after the young man left, thendline of Starry Lake Mansion rang.
The maid did not dare to pick up the ringing phone so she found an excuse and ran away.
Only when the phone was about to end did rence pick up the receiver.
Soon, Ste’s voice sounded, “Mr. Conrad, you’ve received the sobering soup, right? The ingredients
are limited so the amount I made is only enough for one time. If you still need it next time, I’ll make it
and order a courier to send it to you.”
Ste paused for a while before saying, “Regarding the matter of two million yuan, can we discuss it for
a while?”
rence sneered, “Discuss? Is this your sincerity?”
Ste also knew that ordering a courier to send it to him would definitely make him very unhappy. But
just like what Sherry had said, it was still fine now but in another two to three months, what could she
do if he still kept looking for her?
Instead of trying to find excuses when the time came, it was better to keep a distance from the
beginning.
Ste said, “Sorry, but it’s already sote. It isn’t safe for me who is a charming woman that is liked by
everyone to go back and forth. Anyway, the sobering soup has already been delivered to you, the effect
is the same.”
rence was speechless.
“Ste, when did you be so brazen?”
“Many people have said that I’m shameless, this is just a small case.”
rence did not utter a word.
Seeing that he did not hang up the phone directly, Ste thought that there was still hope so she tried
to feel him out, “I have some money with me now, I can return part of it to you. The rest will be paid
back to you via instalment, is that okay?”
“Do you think I’m a banker?”
Ste knew he was not so easily convinced, “Then what do you want?”
“Pay me back at once.”
“I…”
Not waiting for her to finish her words, rence said indifferently again, “Or, you cane every day in
the future to cook and tidy up the room for me until it is paid off.”
Ste was silent before saying, “How much per day?”
“One hundred thousand yuan a month.”
“Mr. Conrad, are you sure you want this, this is actually quite unfair to you…”
rence’s nose lightly hummed. This woman still had some conscience.
Ste continued, “All the things that you asked me to do are the things I did when we got married. If we
calcte based on the amount of one hundred thousand yuan per month, there will be 1.2 million yuan
a year and there will be 3.6 million yuan in three years. You still have to pay me back one 1.6 million
yuan.”
“…”
Before he misunderstood, Ste immediately added, “I’m not saying this to make you give me 1.6
million yuan, I just want to settle the debt with you, you don’t have to give me money either, we’re
square now.”
She was really a logic genius.
rence’s voice was calm, “Ste, you think I’m joking with you?”
“Sorry, I thought you were serious.”
They had already divorced but he still let her go back to serve him every day, wasn’t this joking? Or
was he driving a tank?
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before his voice sounded, “Pay
me back within a month, I don’t ept instalments.”
Ste said, “Okay.”
After hearing her answer, rence hung up the phone.
How could she get so much money in a month? When she could not pay back the money by that time,
she would naturallye to beg him.
…
Recently, Dempsey heard the news from somewhere that rence and Ste had divorced. After
calling him several times which was to no avail, he put his focus on Vivian.
But after investigating, he found that Vivian was not pregnant. Being slightly disappointed, although he
had just stopped causing trouble for a few days, he then began to find an excuse for him toe back,
wanting to arrange the marriage.
rence was so annoyed that he went on business trips to several ces one after another. He was
not in City N for more than half of the month.
After getting off the ne, rence pressed his eyebrows and said, “Wrap the gifts in my suitcase
nicely and find an opportunity to give them to Ste.”
After these words were uttered, Nathan was stunned. He said with difficulty, “Mr. rence, you and
Mrs. Conrad have already divorced...”
Being an assistant who had been with rence for so many years, Nathan was clear that he had the
habit of bringing back gifts to Ste no matter where was the ce he went to for business trips. But,
he never gave them to her personally, saying that the woman was crafty and thoughtful. If he treated
her slightly better, she would think it was profitable and would easily be arrogant in which she would
think that herself was important.

Nathan also pretended to believe his boss’s absurd pretensions. So, all these valuable gifts were taken
back by him to be unwrapped and he would rewrap them in the manner as if they were from a gift
store. When he saw Ste, he would give them to her.
