Chapter 164


    Vincent took steps back to protect himself. In a hurry, he said, “Don’t panic, rence. I just stated an


    objective fact. Just think what you’ve done to her before. If you were her, would you just let it go so


    easily?”


    “Didn’t I treat her nicely?”


    “Did you treat her well?”


    Upon hearing Vincent’s question, rence withdrew his gaze. He gulped down two sses of wine


    and said in a low voice, “She lied to me first. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done those things to her.”


    Vincent said, “rence, until now, based on how much you know about Ste, do you still think she


    has lied to you in the past? Do you still believed that she has married into the Conrad family with the


    excuse of her fake pregnancy?”


    Listening to him, rence couldn’t help tightening his pinch on the wine ss. He creased his brows a


    slight.


    “Ste is smart, pretty, and talented. She has a lot of advantages. Even if she hasn’t married you, a lot


    of outstanding men would be after her. You like her also because you are attracted when getting along


    with her. However, if she were truly that kind of woman who uses every possible means to achieve her


    goals such as using the fake pregnancy as an excuse, would she still be a charming woman?”


    rence’s chin was tightened. The idea that he had ignored always was enlightened by Vincent.


    Suddenly, rence had an awful thought.


    Since they got married, Ste only asked him for money a few times.


    Each time, she didn’t ask for much and she also wrote him the IOU notes.


    She borrowed the money all because of Jeffrey.


    Besides, she didn’t use the position of Mrs. Conrad to gain any benefits.


    After divorcing him, even if the rumors said that she was a mistress, she never exined and said that


    rence was her ex-husband.


    Vincent raised his goblet and shook, “Anyway, you should look into the matter that happened three


    years ago.”


    rence stood up and strode away with an annoyed look.


    Vincent turned around, “Wait. Wait. Are you done with drinking?”


    Out of Twilight Club, rence said to Nathan, “Go investigate what happened during my business trip


    in London three years ago.”


    At that time, he felt quite annoyed as soon as seeing Ste’s face. He stayed in London for two months


    with the excuse of being on a business trip. On the evening back, when seeing Ste’s t belly,


    rence sneered and mocked her. Without asking her anything, he directly confirmed that her


    pregnancy was fake.


    Nathan followed him. After a thought, he said, “Mr. Conrad, during that time, Miss Conrad suddenly


    went abroad. Shall I also look into this matter as well?”


    rence paused his pace, frowning deeply, “You meant Annie?”


    Nathan nodded, “Miss Conrad went abroad quite suddenly. I heard that she also canceled a very


    important party. However, it was all arranged by Mrs. Joanna’s men. I’ll look into the matter in detail


    later.”


    rence withdrew his gaze. He bent over and sat in the ck Rolls-Royce on the roadside.


    The driver asked, “Mr. Conrad, shall we go back to Starry Lake Mansion?”


    After a few seconds, rence answered expressionlessly, “No. Go to another ce.”


    ...


    When Ste was sorting out things in the lobby, she heard fast and hurried footsteps behind her. Before


    she could turn around, her wrist was grabbed. The person dragged her to stride forward without any


    stop in a one-go.


    The two girls and Sherry in the studio gaped.


    The two girls asked in shock, “Well... shall we call the police?”


    Sherry returned to her senses and put on a wry smile, “Probably not necessary. Let’s wait and see how


    it goes.”


    As she spoke, she approached the office inside, aiming to eavesdrop on what was going on.


    She wondered what was wrong with rence the wretched man again.


    In the office, Ste shook several times but shake off rence’s grip on her. For a moment, she was


    irritated and angry, “What is wrong with you again? Let go of me!”


    As she spoke, she turned around and wanted to open the door of the office.


    However, when the door was opened with a crack, the door was pressed to close.


    rence supported on hand on the door and gazed at her with his ck eyes, “Ste, I want to ask


    you a question. Answer me seriously.”


    Steughed in anger, “Mr. Conrad, do you look like that you’re going to have a serious conversation


    with me?”


    “Your attitude to me recently is quite bad. If I didn’t do so, would you be willing to talk to me?”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Ste didn’t answer.


    It turned out that wretched man truly had some clear self-estimation.


    Ste tentatively struggled and found that she couldn’t beparable to him in terms of strength. She


    said, “Mr. Conrad, go ahead.”


    He’d better get out after asking the question.


    Seeing that she had given up struggling, rence loosened his grip on her a bit. In a low voice, he


    asked, “What exactly happened to you three years ago so you had a miscarriage?”


    Ste had never expected that he would ask her such a question. She was startled and standing


    motionlessly for a long time.


    rence didn’t urge her. He just waited in silence.


    After a while, Ste grinned. She raised her head and looked at him, “Mr. Conrad, haven’t you always


    used me of the fake pregnancy before? Since you’ve confirmed, why are you asking me about it


    now?”


    rence pressed his thin lips slightly, “Tell me first.”


    “Mr. Conrad, if you asked me such a question three months ago, I might give you an answer that you


    never expect. However, now...” She paused,ughing more ironically, “I don’t want to answer. Because


    I don’t think you deserve to know it.”


    rence’s handsome face was tightened. She didn’t say it was not necessary to answer but he didn’t


    deserve to know.


    Ste continued in an indifferent tone, “Why? Mr. Conrad, did I say something wrong? For a man like


    you who doesn’t respect life and could treat your own child so ruthless, what answer do you expect


    from me? What if I answered your question? Would the baby be back to life?”


    rence asked, “Why didn’t you exin it to me?”


    “Exin?” Ste was amused, “Mr. Conrad, didn’t you already confirm what kind of person I am? If I


    exined, would you listen? Is it useful? I would have humiliated myself instead.”


    In the past three years, she did try to exin. However, he never cared about it.


    He even thought that she was ying tricks to deceive him again.


    rence didn’t deny it. His Adam’s apple kept bobbing. After a long while, he slowly released her, “It


    could be my fault.”


    ‘Could be...’ The words were reechoed in Ste’s mind.


    The wretched man was always arrogant and conceited.


    Ste said, “No, Mr. Conrad. How could it be your fault? You’ve never made any mistake. You are


    always right...”


    rence didn’t want to continue listening, “Shut up.”


    “Okay.”


    Ste straightened up the sleeve that was creased by his grip, “Mr. Conrad, have you done asking


    questions? If so, I’ll go out.”


    When she wanted to turn around, she heard rence’s voice again, “Horace Jason has gone to


    Switzend.”
