Chapter 285


    After returning to her room, Steid on her bed. Even though she felt exhausted all over, she didn’t


    feel sleepy.


    After half an hour, the phone on the nightstand vibrated a few times.


    Ste picked it up and saw that it was rence.


    She did not connect the call until the phone was about to stop ringing.


    Soon, rence’s voice came, “Are you sleeping?”


    Ste said, “No.”


    “Still can’t sleep?”


    Ste said nothing.


    There was a pause on the other side and then rence said, “I will be back by tomorrow afternoon’s


    flight.”


    After a long while, Ste hummed in response.


    rence said, “Did something happen to you?”


    Ste said, “No. What would happen to me?”


    “You don’t seem right.”


    “…” Ste said in a bad mood, “You don’t seem right.”


    At this moment, there seemed to be someone calling rence on the other end of the call. He


    whispered, “If something is wrong then wait for me toe back tomorrow, then you can tell me. If it is


    something urgent then go to Vincent, don’t take risks alone.”


    “Got it.”


    rence on the other end seemed very anxious as he said again, “I will have Vincent call you in a


    while. Don’t turn off your phone.”


    “Okay.”


    After hanging up the phone, Ste let out a long sigh as if all her anxiety and fear had just disappeared.


    Ste didn’t sleep much that night.


    The time ultimatum written on the ckmail letter was eight o’clock in the evening of the next day and


    Ste had prepared an empty bag instead of five million yuan.


    She kept feeling like the person who was ckmailing her had to be somehow rted to the person


    who sent her in to the Twilight Club three years ago.


    Otherwise, that person wouldn’t have been able to get those photos.


    Most of the people there at that time were Adolph’s people. Since Adolph sent her to the hospitalst


    time, those people disappearedpletely and never appeared in front of her again.


    It was a group of good and bad people jumbled together and the photos might not be in one person’s


    hand.


    Thinking of this, Ste was filled with a sense of powerlessness.


    It was useless to report those people. They were not afraid of thew at all.


    In the afternoon, Vincent was veryte. He stood in the studio, looking around and finally found Ste,


    “Now that I think about it, I should havee over with a gift for you when you opened the business.


    But I think you were reluctant to see me at that time.”


    Ste smiled half-heartedly. If she was being honest, she didn’t want to see him even now, rence’s


    good-for-nothing advisor.


    Vincent leaned on the front desk, “I heard rence say something happened to you. What’s up?”

    Ste said, “It is not a big deal.”


    After thinking for a while, Ste spoke again, “Can you lend me some people?”


    “Of course, I can lend you some people. But rence asked me to follow you until hees back. You


    tell me first, if it is nothing serious then I will just give you some people and not go with you.”


    Ste looked at him, frowning as if she was hesitating.


    Vincent noticed her worrying and tapped his fingers on the desktop a few times, “Do you not want


    rence to know?”


    In the beginning, Ste hadn’t wanted to tell rence about this matter. However, she also knew very


    well that if she called Sherry to apany her, just the two of them alone were no match for the other


    party.


    So, when rence had asked Vincent to contact her, she did not refuse.


    After a while, Ste gave him the ckmail letter from her purse and dered emphatically, “I didn’t


    n to actually give this person money, let alone ask rence for it. I just wanted to go there first,


    assess the situation and find any opportunities to call the police.”


    Vincent, “…”


    Hepletely understood Ste’s apprehensions.


    After all, in rence’s eyes not too long ago, Ste was still the woman who regarded wealth as life


    and neverpromised to achieve her goals.


    If this matter was to happen before their divorce, then Ste wouldn’t have been able to exin this


    even if she had ten mouths.


    Vincent nced at the content of the ckmail letter and then asked, “You have the photos?”


    Ste pursed her lips and nodded gently.


    Vincent asked again, “Are you sure they were taken at that time?”


    Ste took a deep breath, “Yes.”


    “This is weird.”


    “What is weird?”


    “At the Twilight Club, everyone who was involved in this matter were dealt with cleanly. There is no


    reason for any photos to be left.”


    Upon hearing this, Ste was slightly startled, “Dealt with?”


    Vincent put down the letter and looked at her, “You were rence’s wife at that time. Even if he always


    said he hated you, how could he have let this matter slip out?”


    Therefore, everyone knew that Ste was sold to the Twilight Club, but no one knew who she was sold


    to and what happened that night.


    Even Ste herself had never thought about it.


    After a long time, she said, “Anyway… don’t tell him. I will check it out at night. If the other party only


    wants the money, then I will think of a way.”


    Since the other party sent her these photos, it meant that they must still have the negatives. If she


    rushed too much to call the police, she might end up ruining her chances and the photos might get


    leaked.


    Vincent said, “I will go with you.”


    Ste said, “But the letter said only I have to go alone.”


    “Just say that I am your driver.” Vincent looked at the bag besides her, “If you are going to act, it must


    look real. You can’t leave any room for negotiation like this.”


    Vincent handed the bag to his men behind him and asked them to prepare before continuing to say to


    Ste, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell rence. I will apany you tonight to ensure that everything is


    handled properly.”


    Ste nodded, “Thank you.”


    At night, the car stopped in front of a residential building near a middle school.


    As soon as Ste got out of the car, she heard the hoarse voice of a man in the dark, “Go to the roof


    over there.”


    Ste looked over and saw arge t area on the second floor of a building not far away.


    At this time, Vincent got out of the car.


    The man immediately said, “Didn’t I tell you toe alone?!”


    Vincent raised his hands, “I just brought her here, my friend. It is not safe for girls to go out alone at


    night. Why are you worrying so much when all you want is money? The negatives of the photos are still


    in your hands, what can we do to you?”


    In the darkness, the man seemed to have paused and then said, “Just stand there. Don’t move. Don’t


    move even one step!”


    “Okay, fine! I won’t move.” With that Vincent nced at Ste, who carried the bag and walked over to


    the area the man had pointed.


    Stepping up on thest step, Ste heard the voice of the man in the distance again, “Didn’t I ask you


    to bring five million? How much is in there? Are you fucking ying with me?”


    Ste’s voice was calm, “This is just half of it. I will give you the rest when you give me the negatives.”


    “Hah! Don’t try to y tricks with me. Hurry up and get the rest of the money or I will post your photos


    online and you won’t be able to raise your head with respect ever!”


    Ste looked into the darkness and frowned slightly.
