Chapter 290
There was a slight change in the man’s expression when he heard the question. He picked up the pen,
trying to write down something on the paper, yet still didn’t write anything.
When Ste prepared to give up and leave, a cold voice sounded from behind, “Why are you here?”
Ste turned around and found that it was Adolph. There was a scar on his face, which seemed to be
resulted from the car ident. The scar started from his left cheek and ended at his chin.
He looked more ferocious than in the past.
Ste said, “Let’s have a talk at the other ce.”
When they walked out of the alley, they bumped into five children who were running towards them and
one of them idently knocked onto Ste.
The little boy wiggled his fingers. When seeing the ball of dusts on Ste’s cloth, he became so
nervous, “I’m… I’m sorry…”
Ste chuckled and gently rubbed his head, “It doesn’t matter. Enjoy your time.”
The boy looked towards her timidly and then looked towards Adolph.
When seeing Adolph nodding his head at him, he smiled again and ran away.
Adolph shifted his gaze and said, “This y is messy and disorderly. Yet youe alone. Aren’t you
afraid?”
Ste replied in a m voice, “It’s less horrible than human beings.”
Adolph was silent.
They walked out of the alley and came to awn. Adolph asked, “Why do youe to find me?”
No matter it be the debts of Jeffrey or the matter rted to Modesty, they all had been a past long time
ago. So Ste wouldn’t pay a special to him simply because of the above-mentioned matters.
Ste looked towards him, “I want to know about Jeffrey’s whereabouts. And I guess you can find him.”
“Jeffrey?” Adolph knitted his brows, “Didn’t he die in the prison?”
Ste chuckled, “Yeah, maybe he wasn’t dead as a doornail and hees back again.”
Adolph could roughly guess what Jeffrey would do aftering back.
To be Jeffrey’s daughter was so disgusting.
Adolph asked, “Why do you think that I will help you.”
“You’re not helping me, you’re helping yourself.” Ste fixed her eyes on the rustling leaves and
continued after a long while of silence, “Jeffrey threatened me with the pictures taken when I was sold
to the Twilight Club three years ago. Do you think that you’ll be able to evade the responsibility if I
report it to the police?”
Adolph frowned. He didn’t reply.
Ste continued, “I feel thankful that you sent me to the hospital before, so I will not probe into this
matter as long as you can help me find out Jeffrey. In addition, you will get the corresponding reward.
You effort will not be in vain.”
Although Ste had gone to the police to cancel the suitcase against Adolph before and the police had
stopped chasing him, the Conrad family didn’t n to let go of him. Therefore, he didn’t dare to appear
in the public and could only hide himself in such a ce.
Apparently, Ste didn’t give a shit to her rtionship with Jeffrey now. Once she called the police and
once the police began to investigate the past, the situation will be worse.
Adolph said after a long while of silence, “I can help you find out Jeffrey. But I want a reward of one
million.”
“Deal.”
The studio had been making profits during the past several months, so she could afford the reward.
Adolph continued, “I will find him in one week. Then I will contact you.”
Ste gently nodded her head, “Thank you.”
Adolph was stunned when he heard the two words. He hadn’t expected that Ste would say ‘thank
you’ to him.
As Ste had achieved her goal, it was unnecessary for her to stay here. She slightly nodded at Adolph
and then left.
Adolph fixed his eyes on her back, seeming to be thinking of something.
…
When Ste came back to the studio, it was already the noon.
She wanted to ask Sherry whether she had lunch or not, but Sherry tipped her a wink and looked
towards the office.
Ste was confused and then quickly understood it at the next moment.
She walked to the office, opened the door, and then saw rence sitting in front of the office desk.
The man was studying her drawings with his head lowered while gently clicking the desk.

Ste closed the door of the office, “Mr. Conrad, why are you here?”
rence looked up at her, “I miss you.”
Ste replied after a short while of silence, “Mr. Conrad, can you not sweet talk me? It’s greasy.”
rence turned the office chair to face Ste, grasped her wrist and then pulled her into his arms, “I
just wanted to tell you about my inner thought. Why is it greasy?”
Ste struggled to stand up and said sulkily, “We’re now in the office. Don’t be unruly.”
rence curled his lips into a smile. He then saw the dust on her cloth and asked, “Where did you go?”
“I just walked around. Where else could I go? I won’t go to the club for a drink after all.”
rence retorted, “Your wish.”
Ste twitched her mouth corner and took a nce at the clock again, “Mr. Conrad, have you eaten
lunch? If you haven’t…”
“Nope.”
“If you haven’t had lunch, you can go back home and ask Alisa to cook for you.”
rence, “…”
He exerted some forces on his wrist and pulled Ste into his arms again. Squinting at her
dangerously, he asked, “Are you fooling me?”
Ste suppressed herughter, “I’m serious. Mr. Conrad, you’re so picky in food, so the dishes outside
will not be up to your taste. You can go home…”
Right at this moment, there came a knocking sound on the door. Then Sherry’s voice sounded. “Ste,
someone ising for you.”
Ste replied, “I see. I will be there soon.”
She took away rence’s hand, straightened her cloth and hurriedly walked to the door.
Seeing this, Sherry reminded her, “Your hair is messy.”
“…”
“Tsk, it’s still in the daytime. Why are you doing?”
Ste’s face got red when she heard the words. She pulled Sherry towards the door whilebing her
hair.
She took away rence’s hand, straightened her cloth and hurriedly ran to the door.
Seeing this, Sherry couldn’t help but remind her, “Your hair is messy.”
“…”
“Tsk, it’s still in the daytime. Why are you doing?”
Ste’s face got red when she heard the words. She pulled Sherry towards the door whilebing her
hair.
She was a bit surprised when she saw the person in the lounge, “Mrs. Carter.”
It was Emmett’s mother.
Emmett’s mother stood up and smiled at Ste, “Ie here without informing you. Did I bother you?”
“Nope.” Ste turned around and said to Sherry, “Sherry, can you please pour a cup of tea for me?”
When Sherry prepared to go out, Emmett’s mother said, “No need to trouble her. I just want to have a
small talk with you and then I will leave.”
Seeing that they wanted to have a private talk, Sherry sensitively left the room.
Ste said, “Mrs. Carter, please take a seat.”
“Oh, okay.”
After seating herself, Emmett’s mother said, “Ste, Ie here to apologize to you on behalf of
Emmett. He did have done it wrong. I and his father had excoriated him.”
Ste replied, “Please don’t say this, Mrs. Carter. It’s me who should apologize to you. I shouldn’t have
cheated you.”
Emmett’s mother held up Ste’s hand, “Silly girl, you’re not to be med. You had a good
intention.”
