Chapter 291


    After chitchatting with Ste, Emmett’s mother finally came to the point, “Ste, Ie here to ask you,


    will there be any possibility between you and Emmett?”


    Ste pressed her lips together and replied after several seconds, “Mrs. Carter, I and Emmett are just


    friends. We’ve agreed on it.”


    “Oh, that’s it.” Emmett’s mother heaved a sigh, “It’s my bad. Emmett doesn’t know that Ie to find


    you today. Please don’t take it to your heart.”


    “It doesn’t matter.”


    Emmett’s mother stood up, “Now that it’s the case, I will not bother you. I will leave first.”


    Ste also stood up and sent her to the door.


    Before leaving, Emmett’s mother still held Ste’s hand, seeming to be reluctant to let go. It was


    obvious that she really liked Ste.


    After sending her onto the car, Ste withdrew her lines of sights and prepared toe back to the


    studio. But when she turned around, she saw Emmett standing at the door with one hand in his pocket


    and looking at her silently.


    Ste felt guilty under his gaze out of no reason.


    She rubbed her nose and took several steps forwards, “Mr. Conrad, you haven’t had lunch, right? Me


    neither. May we have lunch together?”


    rence replied with a nasal sound and strode forwards.


    He said while walking towards Ste, “Looks like that you not only attract men, but also seniors.”


    Ste replied, “Of course. I’m so beautiful and capable. Those who don’t like me must be blind.”


    rence paused, turned around and fixed his eyes on Ste.


    He thought that she was abusing him.


    Ste showed a big smile to him, seeming to be very innocent.


    When having lunch, Ste said, “By the way, how’s your mother recently. I guess that I will be free by


    the end of this month and I prepare to pay a visit to her. Mr. Conrad, do you want to go with me?”


    rence’s hand that was holding the knife paused. He replied in a m voice, “Same as usual. She’s


    old now. Are you expecting her to have a new rtionship?”


    Ste, “…”


    How could he say these words?


    Luckily, Ms. Anderson didn’t hear these. Otherwise, she would be angered to death when she heard


    the words.


    Seeing that Ste was silent, rence continued, “The government has announced the warrant of


    relocation of Anqiao Street. She’s moved out.”


    Ste was stunned when she heard the words, “I remember that it will be demolished in May? Where


    did she move to?”


    “She should find a new house in advance after all.”


    That made sense.


    rence took a sip of water and continued slowly, “It’s so far. I will bring you there when I’m free.”


    Ste, “I see.”


    It would depend on this wretched man’s mood again.


    After finishing the lunch, Ste prepared toe back to the studio, but rence stopped her, “Can


    you not work today?”

    What nonsense was he talking?


    Ste replied, “Mr. Conrad, it’s the working time. Moreover, shouldn’t you go to manage the Conrad


    group? It’s such a bigpany.”


    rence said, “The Conrad Group can operate without me. Your studio is so small. Can’t it operate


    without you?”


    Ste took a deep breath, “Yeah, it can’t operate without me. It’s just a small studio and we took great


    efforts to maintain its operation. Unlike the Conrad Group, which has great political and financial


    powers, it was not a match for yourpany. Mr. Conrad, you…”


    With one


    Propping up his head with one elbow, rence looked at her with a smile, “Oh enough. I just said one


    sentence, but you retorted me with numerous sentences. I will send you back.”


    Ste red at him with dissatisfaction. How could this wretched man shift the me to her?


    The restaurant was not far away from Ste’s studio. They walked here just now and they would also


    go back on foot now.


    After taking several steps, rence naturally help up Ste’s hand and sped it in his palm.


    Ste subconsciously wanted to take back her hand, “What are you doing? There’re many people


    here.”


    rence knitted his brows, “So what? Is it illegal for me to hold up my ex, er, girlfriend’s hand?”


    Ste thought that she had underestimated his shamelessness again.


    Luckily, it was already not the peak for lunch and there were not that many people on the street.


    Several young couples also walked hand in hand on the street. So they were not a standout here.


    Ste became silent and slowly walked beside him.


    After a while, rence said slowly, “You don’t need to be bothered by Jeffrey. I will solve this matter.”


    Ste asked after a short while of silence, “Vincent tell you about it, right?”


    “Should I need to learn about it from Vincent?” rence continued, “I should have told you that Jeffrey


    is still alive so that you will be prepared for it. It was so abrupt.”


    “When did you know it?”


    rence looked askance at her, “I know everything.”


    Ste thought he was so ego and arrogant. She said after a short while of silence, “It’s my own


    business. I will deal with it. Mr. Conrad, please don’t intervene in it.”


    “How will you deal with it?”


    Although it was a question, Ste could sense the provocation and contempt in his tone of voice. She


    snorted, “Let’s wait and see.”


    …


    Although Adolph told Ste that he would find out Jeffrey in a week, he managed to find out him in


    three days.


    Jeffrey never changed. Even though his leg was broken, he still thought it a waste of money to go to


    the hospital, and would rather y several rounds of game at the poker table.


    Therefore, he simply went to a private clinic and roughly bound up his wound.


    Moreover, he just extorted one hundred thousand. It would be a waste of his broken leg if he didn’t use


    the money to gamble.


    In an underground gambling house, Jeffrey collected money with a bright smile.


    A person beside him cursed, “You always win. Come on, are you a swindler?”


    Jeffrey said why pulling the money into his arms, “I’m so lucky today. You didn’t see how I lost before. I


    even lost my daughter.”


    A person tossed the cards on the table, “I don’t want to y it today. I’m so unlucky that I lost eight


    hundred thousand. How annoying!”


    Jeffrey said to the group of people aside, “Don’t just stand there. We miss a yer. Come on, fill the


    vacancy.”


    Seeing that Jeffrey was so lucky today, none of them wanted to y with him.


    When Jeffrey wanted to find others, a person sat beside him. He immediately curled his lips into a


    smile, but the smile stiffened when he saw the person.


    Adolph said, “Go on. You need a yer, don’t you? I will y it with you.”


    Jeffrey put the money into his pocket, “Oh, I have to stop here today. It’ste now and I have to go


    home.”


    Just as he took a step, Adolph blocked his way with one leg, “You’re so oblivious. Do you forget an


    important thing?”


    Jeffrey was not a fool and he knew that Adolph was here for money. He hesitantly took out half of the


    banknotes in his pocket, “These are all I win today. Just regard it as the interest. I will return the rest of


    the money to you two dayster.”


    Adolph asked, “How will you get that much money?”
