Chapter 299
Ste closed her eyes. Several minutester, she felt that the ce beside her sank.
At the next moment, the many down beside her. His body was warm.
When Ste prepared to move towards the edge of the bed, rence put one arm on her waist and
asked in a low voice, “Why do you sleep with many clothes? You even cover yourself with the quilt.
Aren’t you hot?”
“I’m not hot.” Of course it was not real.
Ste felt hot, stuffy and even breathless.
rence didn’t say anything again and just hugged her tightly.
After a short while, Ste heard the man’s even and stable breath.
She slightly turned her head and asked tentatively, “Mr. Conrad.”
There was still silence.
It seemed like he really had fallen asleep.
Ste heaved a sigh of relief, gingerly took away his arm and then left his arms.
Sitting on the bed, she took a nce at the sofa and then at the wretched man who was sleeping. In
the end, she made a concession.
She took off her coat and theny back onto the bed again. When shey down, she tried her best to
keep a distance with rence.
Ste opened her eyes widely. She was so sleepy just now, but now she became sleepless.
It was reasonable. How could she not feel nervous in the face of such a strong opponent?
Even if she managed to enter the Steward familyter, Charles and Phoebe would only be more
precautionary against her.
It was not that easy for her to find out the truth.
When Ste was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt a weight on her waist. That wretched man put
his arm on her waist again.
Ste, “…”
She said angrily, “Mr. Conrad, please don’t move towards me again. I almost fall down from the bed.”
rence didn’t reply.
Ste continued, “I know you haven’t fallen asleep. Hurry up. Move towards the inside,”
Ste pushed rence.
In the darkness, rence slowly opened his eyes, curled his thin lips into a smile, grasped Ste’s
hand and pulled her into his arms, “Sleep beside me, then you’ll not fall down from the bed. Why do
you have to sleep by the edge?”
Ste thought that she could never win this wretched man on any argument. After a short while of
silence, she said unhappily, “I’m sleepy. Good night.”
rence replied with a nasal sound. He didn’t take any uneptable action except for hugging Ste.
After this, Ste became sleepy again and she found it was even difficult to her to open her eyes.
Originally, she prepared to sleep on her side, but rence pressed her onto his chest.
Hearing the man’s stable and strong heartbeats, Ste fell asleep after a short while.
rencended a kiss on her forehead and said in a low voice, “Good night.”
It seemed like he hadn’t hugged her like this for a long time.
…
With the arrival of the spring, the temperature became higher and higher every day.
Time flew and the bidding came soon.
After changing her cloth, Ste dressed an elegant make-up.
When she finished the dressing, she took a nce at the clock and found it was already two o’clock in
the afternoon.
The bidding would start at three o’clock in the afternoon and she might arrive on time if she set off now.
Before leaving, she put the pocket watch into her bad, took a shallow breath and walked out of the
house step by step.
She would have no chance to regret from now on.
But she would persist in it until she found out the truth.
In the bidding…
Looking at those guests who constantly walked over to greet her, Phoebe smiled indifferently and
sarcastically.
She was so clear of what they were thinking.
They just wanted to y up to her so that they could get some favorable conditions.
The Steward family experienced a crisis before and those people were so anxious to step on it. Even
though the family was experiencing a serious challenge, she was still the daughter of the Steward
family and they were not qualified.
After a short while, Phoebe became impatient and didn’t want to y at them again. She picked up a
ss of wine and found Daniel. She asked in a m voice, “Is there any news about the matter that I
asked you to investigate before?”
Daniel took a sip of the champagne in the ss and raised his eyebrows, “Basically.”
Phoebe became nervous, “Tell me!”
“Don’t be so anxious. Let’s talk about this when the bidding is over. I think the truth will be out of your
expectation.”
When Phoebe prepared to say something, there came some noise from the venue. rence was
coming.
Wrapping her arms in front of her chest, Phoebe looked towards rence, seeming to be pondering
something.
Daniel looked over following her line of sights and yed with the ss at his hand, “If my guess is
right, rence is still a good choice for you and you haven’t given up on him, right?”
Phoebe was stunned when she heard the words. She withdrew her lines of sights, “Nonsense.”
Daniel chuckled, but he didn’t retort her.
Even though Phoebe denied it, rence was the only one who could help Phoebe now.
If he was willing to do so, he would easily get the whole Steward Group.
However, it was pitiful that even though rence wanted to get the Steward Group, he didn’t want to
get it through this approach. Everyone knew that rence was cold-hearted and hard in doing things.
Therefore, Phoebe hoped to reach an alliance with rence again, while at the same time was afraid
that rence would snatch the Steward Group.
It seemed like rence had noticed his gaze and he looked towards Daniel calmly and coldly.
It seemed like rence was also prepared.
Daniel raised the ss at his hand toasted him from afar.
But rence ignored him and shifted his gaze.
Daniel continued, “rence is the biggest enemy for the Steward Group at present, right? Have you
decided on how to deal with him?”
Phoebe replied, “rence is too ego and thinks that everything is under his control. It’s very easy to
find out the soft spot of a person like him.”
“Oh, really?”
“I may not know about the soft spot of other people. But isn’t Ste rence’s biggest soft spot?”

Daniel looked askance at her, “Are you sure that he will be threatened simply because of a woman?”
Phoebe sneered, “You overestimate him. rence is not as capable as you think. He even gave up the
only opportunity to pull down the Conrad family because of that woman.”
Daniel didn’t say anything and simply smiled. A businessman would never start an unprofitable deal,
especially rence.
After a short while, the bidding officially began and everyone seated themselves
Phoebe put down the ss, “It begins. Let’s go.”
Daniel fixed his eyes on her back and then turned around. Failing to find Ste in the venue, he
narrowed his eyes.
From the words Ste saidst night, he had a hunch that there would be a big event today.
Daniel took several steps backward while looking around. Then he turned around and followed behind
Phoebe.
The bidding officially came to a start.
The person in charge of the project of the Steward Group came to the stage and made an overall
introduction of the project to the audience.
And Logan was the person in charge of the project.
