Chapter 72


    In the CEO’s office, Conrad Group…


    rence opened the Kraft paper envelope and pulled out the documents from it. After a few nces,


    he tossed them on the tea table.


    Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.


    Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, all the directors are gone.”


    rence hummed to answer. Then he added, “Keep an eye on them. Dempsey won’t give up.”


    “Yes, Mr. Conrad.”


    Now Dempsey’s movements were too obvious. In other words, it had reached the critical moment for


    them to seize the power. Any unexpected incident would change the ultimate result of this matter.


    As soon as Nathan walked out of the office, the manager of the security department rushed over,


    “Excuse me, Nathan. Something happened.”


    “What’s wrong?”


    The manager pulled out his phone and showed Nathan a clip of the surveince video.


    It was filmed by a camera outside the entrance of Conrad Group, which was far away from the


    entrance but with a wide-angle lens. Although they couldn’t recognize the people’s faces, Nathan


    recognized Ste’s outfit with a single glimpse as well as Jeffrey, who had been wandering about


    downstairs several times with his bandaged head.


    Nathan couldn’t care too much. Grabbed the phone, he rushed back into the CEO’s office.


    rence looked up impatiently. When he was about to speak, Nathan said hurriedly, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs.


    Conrad was taken away by Jeffrey Radomil.”


    rence’s face went cold instantly. He stood up and strode outward of his office, “When did it


    happen?”


    “Ten minutes ago.”


    “Send our men to look for them. Go check on the ces Jeffrey Radomil often goes to. One by one!”


    rence tightened his chin, his voice arctic cold, “Especially Twilight Club. If anyone sees Jeffrey


    Radomil, keep him in control.”


    ...


    Jeffrey took Ste to an underground casino. He sealed her mouth with the adhesive tape and tied up


    her hands with cloth strips. He said, “My good girl, don’t me me. You are the more ruthless one. If


    you didn’t deceive me to meet Adolph Miller, I wouldn’t be beaten up by them so violently. I was almost


    dead. But, rest assured, I’m not so heartless as you. I’ve found you a good man.”


    When Jeffrey got off the car, Adolph was waiting for him there.


    Thetter asked, “Have you brought the money?”


    Jeffrey rubbed his hands and said cheekily, “Sure. Sure.”


    As he spoke, he nced over in the car, “There it is.”


    Adolph looked in the direction following his gaze. Through the window, he saw a pair of pretty and cold


    eyes.

    Jeffrey said, “Are you satisfied? My daughter is worth more than a million, isn’t she?”


    Adolph said with a frown, “You are ying such a trick again.”


    “Again? This is my daughter. Shouldn’t she pay my debt for me?” Jeffrey approached him and covered


    his face with one hand. He whispered, “Don’t worry. I’ve contacted the buyer. He’s in the hotel nearby.


    When he gives me the moneyter, I’ll give it back to you. I won’t repudiate your debt.”


    Adolph lit up a smoke, “This is the first time I’ve met such a father like you. If you dered that she’s


    your daughter, I’m afraid nobody would believe it.”


    Jeffrey rolled his eyes and answered quickly, “What are you talking about? She has my blood in her


    body. Why couldn''t she be my daughter? She wasn’t so lucky to be born in a family, but instead, she


    was born as my daughter. It’s her destiny.”


    Adolph looked away, snorting.


    Soon, Jeffrey received a call. The buyer he contacted had arrived at the hotel, asking him to take Ste


    over.


    Jeffrey answered while nodding and bowing. After hanging up the phone, he said to Adolph again,


    “Look. I’ll have the money soon. If you help me take her in, I’ll spare another one hundred thousand to


    you.”


    “Save it. I’m not interested to take such immoral money.”


    Jeffrey didn’t care at all, “I give you such a chance for the sake that we’ve known each other over two


    years. Forget it if you don’t want.”


    He opened the door of the car and dragged Ste out, “Come one, good girl.”


    Ste stared at him expressionlessly, her eyes full of coldness.


    After they were gone far, Adolph withdrew his gaze, grounding out the cigarette butt with the sole of his


    shoe.


    He just felt that Ste was way too unlucky to have Jeffrey as her father.


    Arriving at the gate of the hotel, Jeffrey noticed that Ste was quiet without making any fuss. He felt


    less uneasy. He also didn’t think she looked quite decent in such a status, so he tore off the adhesive


    tape from her face.


    As a cunning man, Jeffrey was afraid that Ste would run away, so he didn’t untie the cloth strings that


    were used to tie her hands up.


    Much to his surprise, when they entered the lobby of the hotel, Ste, who was always quiet, suddenly


    asked the receptionist for help, which startled Jeffrey. Immediately, he dragged Ste back and


    exined with a smile, “She’s my daughter. She’s mentally ill.”


    Jeffrey warned Ste while whispering in her ear, “Stop ying those tricks. You won’t be able to


    escape tonight no matter what. Behave yourself. If you pissed them off, I don’t think they wouldn’t have


    any mercy on you like me, your father.”


    The receptionist’s eyes that showed it was not her business had made Ste give up totally. The hotel


    was opened right opposite the underground casino. Obviously, the hotel staff had already seen enough


    underground transactions.


    Upon hearing Jeffrey’s threaten, Ste sneered, “Have you truly treated me as your daughter?”


    “My daughter, I don’t have other ways to do. You should me rence Conrad for this matter. He’s so


    rich. He won’t be harmed if he spares me another million, will he? How wonderful if he could be so


    generous as he used to be before. Nothing would happen today.”


    Ste frowned, “When did he give you money?”


    “Two months ago. You were not willing to give me any money, so I asked him for it.” As he answered,


    Jeffrey snorted disdainfully, “He asked me to leave you alone at that time. I thought he likes you so


    much, but it seems I was wrong.”


    Ste was a bit taken aback. rence had never told her such a matter before...


    The wretched man always did things tit-for-tat. She wondered why he hadn’t mentioned this to her.


    As speaking to Ste, Jeffrey had taken her to the door of the room, where two men in suits were


    standing.


    Jeffrey pushed Ste forward, “I’ve brought her here. Where’s the money?”


    One of the men tossed a bank card to him.


    Jeffrey frowned unhappily, “Treat me politely. Probably I’ll be the father-inw of your boss in the


    future.”


    With the card in his hand, Jeffrey said to Ste, “My daughter, don’t worry. Half of the money belongs to


    you as well. You’ll not be aggrieved.”


    Ste closed her eyes and didn’t want to look at him at all.


    Jeffrey was gone. One of the men pushed her into the room.


    With both her hands tied up, Ste staggered. She raised her head and looked around the room.


    It was an erotic room for people to kill time. The room was lit up with bright purple lights, which made


    her feel dizzy.


    It seemed their boss wasn’t in the room.


    Ste suddenly felt like vomiting. She rushed to the bathroom and retched to the toilet. She didn’t puke


    anything out.


    Ste looked around and found thendline in the room. Immediately, she dialed the emergency


    number. However, when she just dialed the number, the phone line was pulled out by


    someone.
