Chapter 298
In the next evening, Daniel handed the invitation letter to the bidding to Ste.
Sitting in her bedroom, Ste put the invitation letter beside the pocket watch and slightly pressed her
lips together.
She would like to call it amercial alliance of the Steward Group than viewing it as a bidding.
Probably the Steward family wanted to consolidate its status through this bidding. It was like that the
Conrad family tried to make use of the Jason family to build its interpersonal connections before.
Therefore, those invited to the bidding must be some big wits.
If she showed up in the bidding, Charles and Phoebe would definitely be unprepared to it.
However, this approach was too risky and Ste was still in a dilemma about whether to go or not.
After a long while, she took out her phone and made a phone call to rence.
His low and husky voice sounded from the other end of the phone soon, “Oh, we just separated. Do
you miss me now?”
Ste, “…”
Before she could say something, rence continued, “I told you to move out of the house and live with
me. Then it won’t be some troublesome.”
Ste replied after a long while, “Mr. Conrad, since you’ve gone to bed, let’s stop here.”
“I’ve woke up. Spill the beans. What’s the matter?”
Ste stammered, “I…”
She was suddenly lost for words.
Noticing her hesitation, rence said, “Don’t say it now. I wille to find you.”
“Er… It’s unnece…”
Before Ste could finish her words, she heard the busy tone in her phone.
Why was that wretched man so rash?
After ending the call, Ste came to the balcony for some fresh air. She was so fretful before, but now
she magically calmed down.
Half an hourter, she received a call from rence. He said concisely, “Go downstairs.”
Ste rubbed her nose and then ran out of the room.
When she walked out of the lift, she saw rence walking towards her.
She asked, “How did you enter here?”
rence replied, “Don’t you think that it’s cold outside?”
Ste, “…”
She said hesitantly, “But… But you still can’t go upstairs. Sherry is sleeping.”
rence curled his lips into a smile, “I see. I won’t go upstairs.”
He held up Ste’s hand and sat down on a bench in the hall of the building.
Ste subconsciously looked around. When finding that no one was here, she finally heaved a sigh of
relief.
rence put his arm on the back of the bench. He was amused, “Why are you so nervous?’
“I…”
Ste was suddenly lost for words. Maybe it was because she subconsciously didn’t want others to see
them being together as she was afraid that they wouldment on them.
But if she told rence her inner thought, he would definitely get angry.
She pondered for a long while, yet still didn’t know how to reply the question.
Never mind.
She replied, “Nothing.”
rence asked, “What did you want to tell me in the call just now.”
Ste slightly looked down when mentioning this topic and her expression became serious.
rence was not in a hurry. He waited silently.
Several minutester, Ste replied slowly, “I think that my biological father probably have an intimate
rtionship with the Steward family. I want to find out the truth.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I n go to the Steward family.”
rence knitted his brows, “How will you go there?”
Ste replied, “Actually I found a useful clue in the warehouse yesterday. It may be the key for me to
enter the Steward family.”
rence pressed his thin lips together, “Have you thought that it will also be a point for Charles to
confine you?”
“I know. Therefore, I must seize the initiative.”
“Have you made up your mind?”
Ste gently nodded her head, “Yep, I’ve decided on it.”
rence said, “Okay. Then just do what you want to do . I will apany you.”

“No need,” Ste said, “Please don’t get involved in this matter now. Although Phoebe has been
seeking troubles for me, she still doesn’t know that I’ve reconciled with you. This situation is more
advantageous to us. Otherwise, they will try their best to get you involved.”
rence put the tip of his tongue against his teeth. After a long while, he said, “I feel worried if you go
to such a dangerous ce alone.”
Ste chuckled when she heard the words, “I have a method and they won’t dare to do harm to me
easily.”
“What’s the method?”
“You will know itter.”
Seeing that she had made it clear, Ste stood up and prepared to leave. But before she could take a
single step, rence pulled her back to the chair again.
He said in a low voice, “Ie to find youte at night. How can you leave like this?”
Ste rolled her eyes, “Er… It’s reallyte. Hurry up and go home for sleep.”
rence fixed his eyes on her without saying a word.
Knowing what was in his mind again, Ste stopped his thought, “Don’t dream of it. I won’t let you go
upstairs.”
“Thene back with me.”
“No.”
“Why?”
Ste evaded his gaze and replied ambiguously, “Why should there be a reason? It’ste in the
evening. Who will go out instead of sleeping?”
She didn’t want toe back to the Starry Lake Mansion.
At least she didn’t want toe back to that ce now.
rence said, “We can live in the hotel.”
His tone of voice sounded overbearing and strong, leaving no room for her to refuse it.
Before Ste could reply, she was pulled out of the building by rence.
When they arrived at the hotel, it was already two o’clock in the morning. Ste was so sleepy that she
even couldn’t open her eyes. She gathered her coat together andy down on the sofa, “I will sleep
now. Good night, Mr. Conrad.”
rence looked towards her and his temples thumped, “Sleep on the bed.”
Ste refused it without hesitation, “No.”
She was very clear of his desire. If she slept on the bed, wasn’t it like sending a sheep to the mouth of
a tiger?
rence didn’t say anything to her again directly carried her up from the sofa and walked to the bed.
He said, “You’re so narrow-minded. I’ve told you several times that I will not wait until now if I really
want to do something to you.”
Ste retorted sulkily, “Isn’t it because you’re afraid that I will call the police?”
rence, “…”
He threw her onto the bed, unsped the button on the corband of his shirt with one hand, leaned
forwards, put two hands beside her sides and squinted at her dangerously, “You can try it now to see
whether I’m afraid of it or not.”
Ste was silent for several seconds and then decided to make a concession, “I’m sorry, forget my
words.”
rence said, “It’ste.”
Ste twitched her mouth corners. As expected, this wretched man never let go of any opportunity to
take advantage of her.
When she prepared to leave his arms, rence grabbed her tender fingers, “All right. I will not do
anything. Have a sleep now.”
Ste was not convinced and asked, “Really?”
rence stared at her, “Not really.”
Ste, “…’
rence let go of her, stood up, and then slowly unsped the buttons on his shirt under Ste’s gaze.
Ste’s ears got red and she felt thirsty. Without even taking off her coat, she wrapped herself into the
quilt and turned over, “I will sleep now.”
