Chapter 25
Reba looked at Horace jokingly, “She’s so young and immature, perhaps it’s just a joke! Horace,
what do you think?”
Horace had a headache when listening to their words, “Reba, I’ll go and drive the car.”
“Fine, fine, just go. We’ll wait for you here.”
After Horace left, Reba said, “What about you, Phoebe? What are your ns?”
Phoebe raised her eyebrows, “What ns can I have, love rtionship is something that can’t be
forced.”
“Don’t behave like this in front of me. I recently heard that rence has divorced. The Conrad family is
nning to rearrange his marriage. The reason that youe back this time is certainly because of
this, right?”
Phoebe did not admit it but she did not deny it either.
Although she and rence were not considered to have grown up together, the two families had a
good rtionship. She and rence were simr in age so others always thought that they would be
the best match for each other.
But, she never expected that rence surprisingly would get married secretly and the woman that he
married was a woman that was sold to Twilight Club.
Due to this, Phoebe was angry at home for a long time but after she thought about it, she felt that it was
reasonable. It was extremely suitable that an illegitimate son married a woman that was cheaply sold.
She originally thought that when she went abroad, she could forget everything here but none of the
men she met was as good as rence. Moreover, in the past three years, the power of the Conrad
Group had obviously fallen into rence’s control. He was powerful and handsome, which was
something that could make women fall in love with him. These advantages had long covered up his
identity of being an illegitimate son.
What was more, not many people in this world knew that he was an illegitimate son.
The education Phoebe received since childhood did not allow her to interfere in other’s marriages even
if she really despised rence’s woman. So, after hearing the news that he had divorced, she
immediately came back from overseas.
She had waited for three years and it would finallye to fruition at this moment.
…
At 10 p.m.
The rush hour in the busy business district had already passed. The streets seemed much more
spacious.
A person stumbled out of the corner and ran straight to the tallest building.
He was followed by a group of people with sticks. It did not take long for them to catch up with him and
they held him down on the ground while punching and kicking him.
rence walked to the car, stopped and turned his head to look at the farce that was not far in front of
him.
Nathan understood and immediately walked over. From the beaten person’s words, he managed to
know about the situation and when he came back, his face was slightly serious, “Mr. Conrad, it’s Mrs.
Conrad’s father.”
Under the warm street light, rence, who was with cold facial features, strode over.
In the crowd, Jeffrey who was beaten covered his head tightly with his hands and only some voices
came out, “My son-inw…the president of the Conrad Group, money…”
When the group of men saw someoneing, they originally wanted to threaten but after seeing the
person’s clothes and temperament, they knew that he was having a powerful background. He was
even followed by bodyguards so they quickly stepped back and gave him a way.
When Jeffrey saw that the fists that fell on his body miraculously disappeared, he hurriedly raised his
head and found that a pair of ck leather shoes was in front of him. He braced himself and looked up.
He became very delighted and he grabbed the bottom part of his trousers, “This is my son-inw. He
has plenty of money, you guys ask him for it, he will give you guys no matter how much it is!”
rence looked at Jeffrey’s hand that was full of blood. He bent his body and squatted with a cold and
indifferent voice, “I remember when I gave you moneyst time, I’ve told you not to appear in front of
me again.”
Jeffrey did not bother this at all. He climbed up and wiped a handful of blood and ash from his face,
“rence, do you think I don’t know how much money you have, do you think you can get rid of me
with just five hundred thousand yuan?”
Now only he realized that it was better to directly ask for money from rence than from Ste. It was
true that rich people were more generous as he directly gave five hundred thousand yuan at once.

rence raised his eyes and nced at the group of people waiting around, “How much do you want
this time.”
Jeffrey stretched out a finger, “Haha, not much, one million yuan will be sufficient.”
rence suddenlyughed, stood up and said, “Do you think I’m doing public welfare.”
“rence, you won’t suffer a loss by giving one million yuan.” Jeffrey also stood up and he came close
to him, whispering, “When Ste was sold to Twilight Club at that time, the price was also almost this
amount. They were very generous as they did not bargain at all. If it wasn’t because that you brought
her away afterward, the money would have been in my pocket. I think it’s reasonable for me to get such
a little interest from you now, right?”
rence’s face rapidly became cold, “Get lost.”
“rence, anyway, I know you and Ste have already divorced now. She is so beautiful and many
men like her. If you don’t give me this amount of money, I’ll go ask others for it but you better don’t
regret it.”
rence nced at him coldly and sternly. He pursed his thin lips and his entire body was emitting a
great coldness.
Just when Nathan thought that he was about to get furious, a cold and chilly voice sounded, “Give him
two million yuan.”
Hearing this, Jeffrey’s face was instantly filled with smiles. He reached out and patted rence’s
shoulder, saying joyfully, “You’re the best son-inw, that’s what you should do.”
rence pulled his hand away and warned word for word, “Keep the money well. If you dare to trouble
Ste again, I will let you have the chance to take the money but have no chance to spend it as you’re
dead.”
Jeffrey’s smile stiffened for a moment but it quickly returned to its original state, “Don’t worry, I’ll take
the money and go far away. I’ll never bother you guys.”
Without even looking at him, rence turned around and got in the Rolls Royce parked on the
roadside.
After Nathan finished handling Jeffrey’s matter, he got in the car and before he sat down properly, an
extraordinarily cold voice sounded behind him, “How is the matter that I ask you to ask Francis?”
Nathan quickly said, “Francis said that when Mrs. Conrad came to him at that time, she said that her
family had an urgent need for money. As he saw that Mrs. Conrad’s design work was very spiritual, he
didn’t want to bury her talent so he submitted an application to you but you rejected it. You have
ruthlessly criticized Mrs. Conrad’s idea and said that ‘this opportunity is reserved for people who really
have design dreams, but not for people who use thispetition as a business opportunity and want to
gain benefit from it’.”
“…”
Nathan totally did not realize how murderous his words were. He was just afraid that rence would
think that he did not work hard enough and had neglected what he ordered him to do. He was clearly a
dutiful and hardworking assistant so how could he receive this kind of questioning.
Nathan continued, “Francis said that Mrs. Conrad was sad and despondent after hearing it but she left
without saying anything more. Not long after, Mrs. Conrad was sold to Twilight Club. When Francis
heard about this matter, he perceived that it may be rted to the family matter that Mrs. Conrad said
before. After he went to Twilight Club to investigate, he found that Mrs. Conrad was involuntarily sold to
it by her father’s creditor of loan sharks, but…”
Nathan paused for a while and only then said, “I’ve gone to Twilight Club to do the investigation.
Someone said that when Mrs. Conrad was sold to it, he saw that Jeffrey did appear in the scene. So,
it’s very likely that he cooperated with the creditor of loan sharks to…”
