    Upon hearing theint from the other end of the line, Ste suddenly felt as if she was a truly evil


    woman.

    She muttered, “You wille to be when you want to see me. If you don’te here, it means you are


    busy, doesn’t it? Why should I waste my effort to look for you?”


    After a pause, rence asked, “Have you read the recent news?”


    “Yes, I have.”


    “I’m dealing with the matter of Steward family, a bit busy recently.”


    Ste said, “I see.”


    rence said, “If you miss me indeed,e to see me in Conrad Group.”


    “Thanks for your invitation. I never thought of that.”


    On the other end of the line, rence snorted, “I’ve got to go.” He hung up.


    Ste put down the phone. She checked the time and found it was eleven o’clock. The wretched man


    was still in Conrad Group right now.


    Shey on the bed, tossing about, unable to fall asleep.


    After around half an hour, she suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up. Then she took a coat from the closet


    and walked out of her apartment.


    The streets were empty at night, but the streetmps were shining.


    Soon, her taxi was pulled over at the entrance of Conrad Group’s building.


    Ste got off. Standing at the entrance, she suddenly sobered up under the cold wind.


    She had been somewhat reckless toe over here so suddenly.


    She walked to the roadside, pulled out her cell phone to call a cab, but her finger didn’t tab the confirm


    button.


    After hesitating for a few seconds, Ste put her phone back into the pocket of her coat. She turned


    around and walked into the building.


    The CEO’s office, Conrad Group.


    Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, we’ve lost them. But I’m sure William has them.”


    rence knocked on the desk with his slender fingers, squinting, lost in thought.


    “Now Mr. Steward is still looking for the person who has exposed all the series of things. He hasn’t


    found out Daniel and William for the time being.”


    rence chuckled with a faint smile, “They’ve been well prepared be taking any action. Even if he


    wants to look into them, he can’t find anything at all.”


    Judging from the current situation, rence realized that William just made the cooperation with


    Conrad Group an excuse. His purpose was toe to City N with a proper reason.


    “Mr. Dempsey has called off the engagement with the Steward family. I guess he didn’t want to draw


    fire against himself and aimed to get rid of the rtionship early.”


    rence curled up his lips into a sneer. After a few seconds, he asked, “How is it going with Joanna


    Perez?”


    “Mrs. Joanna should take action pretty soon. We’re fully prepared.”


    rence hummed.


    Nathan added, “By the way, Mr. Conrad, there’s another thing.”


    “Go ahead.”


    “The cigarette butt sent by Mrs. Conrad’s brother has been sent to the test. ording to the DNA test,


    it belonged to Jeffrey Radomil.”


    rence creased his brows slightly, “Jeffrey Radomil?”


    Nathan nodded, “About the ident that happened back then, the prison said it was a fire caused by


    the prison break. However, everything seemed to be quite unclear. All the bodies were charred. There’s


    no evidence to prove that Jeffrey Radomil was certainly dead.”


    Right then, there were a few knocks on the door of the office.


    Nathan immediately stopped speaking and walked to open the door. As soon as he saw Ste, he was


    a bit surprised, “Hi, Ms. Radomil?”


    Ste said seriously, “I want to bother your Mr. Conrad with something. Is he in?”


    “Yes, he is.”


    In a hurry, Nathan let her in, “Mr. Conrad, I’m leaving now. I’ll look into the matter that I reported just


    now.”


    After the door of the office was closed, Ste took a few steps to walk in, “Hi, Mr. Conrad. Are you


    busy? I may need to bother you with something.”


    rence leaned against the back of the office chair, raising his eyebrows, “I can be busy or not busy.”


    Ste choked up.


    rence stood up and walked to the lounge. He sat on the sofa with his slender legs across, “You said


    you need to bother me with something, right?”


    Ste pressed her lips, “Mr. Conrad, I’m sure you must know what’s going on with the Steward family


    now, so I want to ask you for some information.”


    “What do you want to know?”


    “I...”


    Upon hearing his question, Ste was a bit confused.


    She used it as an excuse for the time being. Honestly, she didn’t care about it at all.


    After a pause, Ste answered, “You can tell me anything you like.”


    rence said, “The Conrad and the Steward families have called off the engagement.”


    ording to how much she knew rence, Ste thought that he would tell her the current status of


    Steward Group. However, much to her surprise, he told her this matter.


    It made her be a bit interested.


    She asked, “Then, what about Phoebe Steward now...”


    “Charles won’t agree her to marry Daniel. Even her engagement has been called off, the Steward


    family is still a piece of fat right now. A lot of businessmen want to take the chance to hold their share


    now. Hence, at this crucial moment, Charles Steward needs to carefully make the decision. After all,


    Phoebe Steward’s future husband is relevant to the future of the Steward family.”


    Ste frowned. rence always referred the marriage as a cold trade without anything relevant to love.


    However, that was the actual fact.


    After a thought, she said, “But, if it’s like what you said, the Steward family is a piece of fat to others,


    why did your... the Conrad family would cancel the engagement?”


    rence answered, “It takes capability to bite the piece of fat, but he currently doesn’t have the


    strength to control the Steward family. Also, he can’t take the risk to help them, afraid that I would take


    the chance to uproot his power. He had no other choice.”


    Ste was silent for a moment and continued, “That means no matter who will marry Phoebe Steward


    now, he would get the absolute controlling interest of the Steward family, wouldn’t he? If the man was


    capable, he would have the chance to merge Steward Group, right?”


    “You can understand it that way.”


    “Then... Mr. Conrad, don’t you feel moved a bit?”


    Different from the marriage for conveniencest time, when rence was marrying Phoebe, Steward


    Group was still a strong and independent existence, which had the ability to be against Conrad Group.


    However, things had been changed now. The Steward family was suffering a big loss. Once rence


    married Phoebe, absolute dominance would be in rence’s hands. Moreover, he would also own the


    huge resource from Steward Group, which was a chance only once in a lifetime.


    rence said slowly, “Moved? I do feel moved.”


    Ste bent down her head and didn’t speak.


    Soon, she heard his voice continue, “However, even if her future husband could get the controlling


    interests of Steward Group, he has to deal with the huge mess as well. Probably he would pull himself


    into the mere if he’s not careful enough.”


    Ste said, “Isn’t it how the business goes? As long as you win the bet, you''ll make a huge profit. Mr.


    Conrad, you should know it, right?”


    Upon hearing it, rence squinted, “Why don’t you do it?”


    Ste was taken aback, “Do what?”


    “You are so good at talking, why don’t you make an acquisition n of Steward Group to me?”


    Ste was speechless.


    She exined patiently, “Mr. Conrad, I meant if you regret canceling the engagement with Phoebe. If it


    hadn’t been called off, you could get Steward Group in a clear and ordered pattern.”
