Chapter 148


    Joanna didn’t reply this time. She left slowly.


    Clenching her new phone, Ste heaved a sigh and followed Joanna’s men to the back door.


    Looking at the car that was parked not far away, Ste said, “I suddenly feel a bit ufortable. Can


    you please wait…”


    One of the men turned around expressionlessly, “Ms. Radomil, we’re here to help you. I hope you won’t


    y any tricks.”


    Ste bit her lower lip, “I didn’t. You also see my bulging belly. Can I y any trick? Normally, a


    pregnant woman will have many problems… I can’t control it.”


    “What do you want to do?”


    “I…” Ste looked around and pointed at the overgrown bush wood, “I want to pee. Can you stay here


    and wait for me for a while?”


    The security guard seemed to be impatient. He didn’t want to agree to it.


    Ste was a bit annoyed, “I’m so weak now. Can I run away? Moreover, the child in my belly is a


    descendent of the Conrad family. He’s not a convict. Aren’t you afraid that I willin about your


    poor attitude to Mrs. Conrad?”


    The man wanted to say something, but the other security guard stopped her and said to Ste, “Go.


    We will wait for you here.”


    “Thank you.”


    Ste slowly walked to the bush wood.


    When she disappeared in their vision, the manined to hispanion, “Why did you agree to it?


    It will dy our schedule.”


    Hispanion replied, “Even if she is nning to run away, this passage is the only road in this area.


    Moreover, she’s pregnant with a child now and her belly is bulging. I don’t think that she can run away.


    Rest assured, there won’t be any problems.”


    The man pulled a long face. He didn’t reply and simply took a nce at his wristwatch to check the


    time.


    Ten minutester, the man vaguely felt that something had gone wrong and ran towards the bush


    wood. Unexpectedly, when he arrived there, Ste’s voice sounded from behind the bush, “Don’te


    over.”


    The man paused, “Ms. Radomil, aren’t you finished?”


    Ste said, “I told you just now that pregnant woman will have many problems. You will understand it


    when you have a wife.”


    Ten minutester, the man asked again, “Ms. Radomil.”


    There was no reply.

    The man felt it fishy and pushed open the bush, only to find that no one was behind it. There was only


    the phone given by Joanna.


    Then the man checked the phone and opened the call records. He then realized that Ste had the


    conversation with him through a call just now.


    The man cursed and then turned around, shouting, “She runs away. Chase her.”


    When they disappeared in her vision, Ste came out from the other side of the bush.


    With her hands on her waist, she heaved a sigh of relief heavily.


    She managed to deceive them.


    Ste asked Sherry to check the geography before. Although generally speaking people could only


    leave through one road if they left from the back door of the Conrad family, there was a small path


    beside the road. If she walked along the small path for about half an hour, she would get to the road


    down the hill.


    Nevertheless, just as Ste had taken two steps, she felt a sudden chillness from her neck. A cold male


    voice sounded from behind her, “Don’t move.”


    Ste stopped. She felt that he was a ferocious man. The dagger he was holding was very sharp and


    she felt a stinging pain from her neck.


    The man threw a silk scarf to her, “Cover your eyes.”


    Ste did as he had ordered.


    After she covered her eyes with the silk scarf, the man confined her hands at her back and tied them


    up. He then pushed her shoulders, “Move forward.”


    When they walked into a ck car, the man opened the door and let her get on the car.


    He said, “I will not hurt you temporarily as long as you can cooperate with me.”


    After finishing the words, the man walked to the driver’s seat.


    Ste felt shaking from the car at the next moment. She guessed the man had started the car.


    After a short while, she asked, “Did you wait here a long while ago?”


    The man ignored her.


    “If I didn’t attract their attention just now, what are you going to do? Can you win them?” Ste paused


    and then suddenlyughed, “I think you will win them. Thebination of all of them is still not a match


    for you.”


    The man was silent for a while before saying again, “Do you know who I am?”


    Ste replied, “I remember your voice.”


    She added in a t tone, “Whenever I’m overwhelmed by despair, you would show up. As this happens


    several times, I gradually remember your voice.”


    Adolph didn’t say anything else and focus all his attention on the situation of the road.


    After a short while, the men that were chasing Ste showed up.


    They also heard themotions from behind. When they turned around, their expressions changed


    dramatically. They rushed over hoping to stop them, but Adolph stepped on the elerator and hit two


    men onto the ground.


    As Ste’s eyes were covered by the silk scarf, she couldn’t see anything and could only sense the


    violent shaking from the car. It seemed like it hit on something.


    Ste suppressed her nausea and moved to a rtively safe and stable position.


    After several minutes, the car drove to the hillside.


    Three cars were waiting there.


    Adolph said, “Looks like they’re here to save you.”


    Ste was stunned. She then smiled, “Maybe.”


    Adolph, still without any trace of hesitation, rushed towards them.


    The men waiting for them there seemed to have some scruples about Adolph as they didn’t stop him


    forcibly. When Adolph was about to hit them, they moved aside quickly.


    In a blink of an eye, the ck car disappeared in the night.


    Nathan came out of the car dejectedly. He hurriedly made a phone call to rence, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs.


    Conrad was brought away by someone and we failed to retain them.”


    …


    In the Conrad family…


    rence hung up his phone and strode towards the outside with a hideous face.


    Seeing this, Phoebe hurriedly put down the ss of champagne in her hand and followed him, “re,


    where are you going?”


    rence didn’t reply; instead, he quickened his pace.


    “re.”


    Phoebe ran after him to the lobby and grabbed his arm, “Today is our debut to the public ever since the


    announcement of our engagement. How can you leave like this? What should I do then?”


    rence turned around and took a nce at her, “I’ve agreed to your requirements. Why do you care


    about this?”


    “But if you leave now, wouldn’t your father have some doubts about it? Then what’s the meaning of the


    things you do recently? Believe me, nothing will happen to Ms. Radomil. When thises to an end, I


    will go to find her together with you.”


    rence slowly withdrew his arm from her grip. His voice was icy-cold, “The things I do recently are


    not only for her sake. But if she has any idents, Phoebe, you should be clear of the consequence.”


    He then shoved her hand off. Phoebe was frozen. She could only watch him leaving.


    At the same time, Dempsey, who was talking with his guests, suddenly got the news from his man,


    saying that Ste was taken away by another person.


    Dempsey’s expression froze. He gave an order in a low voice.


    Joanna, who also received the same news, looked calm. It was as if she didn’t care about it at


    all.
