Chapter 260
Seeing that the two were about to argue with all guns zing, Sherry slipped away again.
rence put down his coffee cup and raised his eyes to look at Ste, “Am I that kind of person to
you?”
“Yes or no, is it up to me?”
The wretched man had said before that he was a no-good. But, he sounded like he was being
ndered at this moment.
rence said, “The resort needed to be booked a month ago. How do you think I could have foreseen
that he was going to take you with him?”
Ste froze hearing this.
She hadn’t expected him to answer like that.
rence gave her a look and added, “I told you before that Emmett is not as simple as you seem. The
only reason he would say this to you is because he is jealous of me.”
Ste subconsciously asked, “Jealous of you for what?”
“Jealous of me being the one you like.”
Ste was speechless.
She spoke with difficulty, “Mr. Conrad, do you think that everyone thinks the same way as you?”
rence said unhurriedly, “Then you should give me a reasonable exnation as to why he would lie
to you.”
Ste was silent and couldn’t think of what to refute.
rence said, “Ste, you must know that I will never do anything to hurt you. All I want is that one
thing. But, Emmett is different. You know nothing about his background and intentions.”
“Come on, quit while you’re ahead. You have also done those things before. Don’t act innocent.”
rence was speechless.
Ste sat on the sofa quietly.
It reminded her when the wretched man said this.
Daniel and Emmett were friends, and they should be here for the same purpose.
And they were aiming at the Steward family.
Thinking of this, Ste nced at rence several times, but she didn’t say anything.
rence slowly said, “It’s not toote for you to apologize to me now.”
“Mr. Conrad.”
Hearing her sudden serious tone, rence looked at Ste as he raised his eyebrows slightly,
gesturing for her to continue.
Ste gently pursed her lips, “If Phoebe marries your brother, will it have a big impact on you?”
“Caring about me?”
“Forget about it then.”
rence chuckled and finally spoke seriously, “It has not much impact, only that it will be a bit
tricky when dealing with some matters. But, you don’t have to worry about me. It’s not a problem for
me.”
Ste ignored his words, “I think that this union might note to fruition in the end.”
She had always thought that Daniel and Emmett came prepared. But, since their target was the
Steward family, how would they let Phoebe get engaged with Justin and expand the Steward family’s
power?
rence curled his lips, and he didn’t retort.
Ste thought for a moment before saying, “Mr. Conrad, you should also know that Daniel’s identity is
not simple. And he should have the same goal as you too.”
“You mean, letting me work with him?”
“This is just the rational allocation of effective resources to get the maximum benefit.”
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Since they both had the same purpose, why couldn’t they cooperate?
rence sneered, “You watch and learn. Not bad.”
Ste blushed at his words and coughed unnaturally, “I’ve always been one to take the best from the
best.” And she added, “Retaining the good stuff without the bad one.”
After a moment, rence said, “Whether it’s Emmett or Daniel, neither can be trusted. You should stay
away from them too.”
“Oh.”
After a few minutes, Sherry came in carrying the afternoon tea Ste had ordered earlier, “Ste, that…
Mr. Conrad, please have something to eat before you continue.”
rence got up and said faintly, “I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”
Ste said, “Didn’t you just say you wanted to eat?”
“For a man’s words, some can be trusted and some not. Consider this as a free lesson for you.”
Ste was speechless.

After rence left, Ste and Sherry simultaneously looked at therge pile of food they had ordered,
wondering how they would finish them.
None of the two men, who had just been fussing about eating, ate it.
Ste rubbed her brows. After giving the afternoon tea to the staff in the shop, she distributed the rest
to the people in the next shop.
At the same time, the public opinion on the inte was still fermenting. Selina took advantage that
Phoebe backed her. She did her best to get the job done to get what she deserved. She even
aggressively hired inte trolls to spam on the inte.
She even rehashed the previous incident about Ste being kept, embellishing and making it as
realistic as possible.
Just when Ste’s scandal gradually overwhelmed the jewellery forgery, one of SG’s employee posted
a tweet.
“You guys have to be sensible. I know nothing about the jewellery forgery and I won’t judge it either.
But, the story about Ste being kept is so outrageous. You’d probably want to bite your tongue if you
knew who her ex-husband was.”
“You can just say it’s a whitewash post, no need to pretend like that. Moreover, who knows whether if
her ex-husband has existed or not. Would she even tell you that she’s a mistress?”
“So what? Just tell us who her ex-husband is. Is it going to shock me or what?”
“By the way, wasn’t someone mentioned earlier that she was kept by someone of the Conrad family?
ording to what you said, are you going to say that her ex-husband is the president of the Conrad
Group? It’s reallyughing my ass off. Who are you scaring?”
After thisstment was posted, some inte trolls even screenshotted it and added some text to
point out that Ste was delusional, daydreaming.
As things went viral on the inte, the Conrad Group’s official Weibomented on a post by one of
the trolls that cursed Ste the most, “Are you okay?”
Once thisment was made, those who had been fussing got even more excited.
“Look at it. Ste has been riding the wave of the Conrad Group and even forced them toe out
personally to disprove the rumours.”
“Hahaha. Ste probably might never think of having such an honour in her life too. I wonder how the
Conrad Group’s employees would feel when they read this.”
“Way to go! No need to show mercy for such a shameless person! I think Ste is not far from being
banned from the industry after offending the Conrad Group this time. It serves her right!”
Just when everyone thought this move by the Conrad Group’s official Weibo aimed at Ste, their
followingment blew everyone’s mind.
