Chapter 281


    The two probably didn’t expect her to mention Mr. Steward suddenly, and even at that say the name


    directly. They were a little bbergasted for a while, but she was still a woman after all. If she really


    knew someone of such extraordinary status, they wouldn’t have been here drinking and saving people.


    It was a bluff at best.

    One person said, “Don’t use Mr. Steward’s name to scare us. He won’t care about people like you at


    all. If you still want us to help you, show some sincerity.”


    “What you said is interesting. Once Charles brings out his people, I doubt any of you will dare to fight. A


    group of grown men falling down to the extent of harassing a woman just for amusement, are you guys


    not afraid that in the future your wives and daughters can also show up at such dinner parties?”


    The two men were angered by her words and one of them instantly replied with a cold face, “Don’t be


    ignorant of others kindness. She came to us herself. No one forced her. Don’t you know who am I!


    Show me some respect!”


    At this moment, a low sneering voice came from behind them, “I was wondering who is being so loud


    here, it turned out to be Mr. Bernard!”


    Armand Bernard, a deputy director, turned around looking impatient, “You can… Mr…. Mr. Conrad…”


    rence stood there staring at him, looking tall and stern.


    Armand’s expressions changed slightly. He exined with an apologetic smile, “I didn’t know that you


    were having dinner here too, Mr. Conrad. I didn’t mean to incur any ridicule on you. These two are


    family members of Steward Group’s employees. As you know there has been a little problem within the


    Steward grouptely, it was rted to these people. As a matter of fact, Mr. Steward just cleared up


    this mess and left but unexpectedly the family members came running to intercede and plea for


    leniency. How can I agree to their terms, you see, I also have no way…”


    He implied that this was the internal matter of the Steward Group and had nothing to do with rence,


    hoping that he would leave it alone.


    rence smiled deeply, “Listening to your words, Mr. Bernard, one might think I am being nosy.”


    “Not at all, Mr. Conrad. It is just that this matter is really troublesome. After all, it is hard to deal with


    women.”


    “I understand what you are trying to say, Mr. Bernard. But I am very curious about something.”


    Armand said hurriedly, “Mr. Conrad, please ask away.”


    rence paused for a moment and then said slowly, “When did my wife be a family member of


    an employee of Steward Group?”


    Although his voice was dull, it was wrapped in an obviousyer of bone-chilling iciness.


    Hearing this, Armand and the man next to him were both taken aback. They both whipped around to


    look at Ste in unison and broke into cold sweat, “Mr…. Mr. Conrad, this is a misunderstanding. I


    didn’t know that this person is Mrs. Conrad. I…I…”


    Armand stammered at ‘I’ for a long time, his legs trembling as if made of jelly.


    After all, rence had once used his official social media ount to snap at the person who had


    cursed out his ex-wife. It was something everyone knew about already and it was enough to show how


    much he doted on her.


    The rtions between the Steward group and Conrad group were already tense. If they offended


    rence and involved the Conrad group into it, then they were going to bepletely finished.


    rence said again, “Mr. Bernard, don’t be so nervous. The one who wasn’t aware is not considered


    guilty. As long as you kneel down and apologize to my wife, then this matter will be considered over


    and even I will not pursue it any further.”


    Armand’s eyes widened suddenly, “This…”


    “Are you not willing to?”


    Beads of sweat began to umte on Armand’s forehead. His legs felt so soft that he almost


    couldn’t help but kneel down.


    rence smiled deeply, “I am just joking. Mr. Bernard, you didn’t take it seriously, right?”


    Armand inwardly cursed rence’s ancestors and managed to smile gratefully, “Mr. Conrad, you have


    a big heart, naturally you won’t bother about me.”


    “Mr. Bernard, you are ttering me. I don’t have the final say in my family.”


    Armand’s face became stiff again and he turned to look at Ste again. This time his smile felt a little


    more fake ttery than sincerity, “Mrs. Conrad, what happened just now was really a misunderstanding.


    I apologize, please forgive me for my rudeness. And about your friend’s matter, I will try my best to do it


    for her…”


    Ste’s expressions were dull, “No need. I don’t care about this.”


    “Then, look…”


    “How much wine did she drink just now? Ste’s gaze swept over the two of them, “How much did


    everyone drank at your table?”


    The party culture really stank, especially if one enjoyed having girls pour them wine.


    After a brief hesitation Armand immediately agreed, “Yes, yes. It is as you said, Mrs. Conrad.”


    Armand was thinking that rence had no way to know how much their table had actually drunk, nor


    would he have the time to continuously keep an eye at them while they drank, so when the time came it


    would just be a matter of drinking a couple of sses symbolically.


    However, what he hadn’t expected was for rence to call a passing waiter over, “Go to private parlor


    number three with these two, ask the manager to watch them drink all the wine in the parlor without


    leaving a drop and then open all the wine that I have stored here and send it to their table.”


    After that, rence looked at Armand and said leisurely, “Thank you, Mr. Bernard, for giving me the


    honor. All of those wines my collection that I have treasured for many years, please enjoy.”


    Armand was shocked, “Mr. Conrad.”


    “No need to thank me for this. It is my pleasure.”


    If it wasn’t for the wrong asion, Ste would have burst outughing.


    She had to admit that the wretched man was really sassy. The way he yed with those two with just a


    few words was worthy of apuse. He made them unable to refute or reject.


    After the waiter followed Armand and the other one, the manager of the restaurant also hurried over.


    Ste took the opportunity to hand Madison over to him and asked him to help her contact her family.


    After doing all this, she exhaled and turned around to meet rence’s calm eyes.


    Ufortable with his gaze, she touched her nose, “Why are you looking at me like that?”


    “You are so beautiful; how can I not look?”


    Ste, “…”


    He really was one smooth talker.


    Ste pulled him with the cuff of his shirt, “Okay, let’s go eat.”


    She didn’t get to eat much just now and she was starving.


    After returning to the private parlor, rence asked, “How did you meet?”


    Ste paused for a moment before realizing that rence was asking about Madison, “She was my


    university ssmate.”


    “Oh.” rence continued, “Your university ssmates are really full of talents. As if one Horace wasn’t


    enough, and that Emmett. And now suddenly, there is another one of them…”


    Ste was annoyed, “Shut up!”


    rence really did stop talking.


    After a while, Ste couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Conrad, I have to correct you on something.”


    rence raised his eyebrows, “Say it.”


    “Right now, we are already divorced. You shouldn’t call me your wife anymore.”


    rence frowned deeply, as if a little displeased, “There is no problem in it.”


    Ste said rigorously, “It is a problem of legalmon sense.”
