Chapter 301


    On the other side…


    Looking at the pocket watch handed by Ste, Cameron was also stunned for several seconds. He


    looked towards Ste in disbelief and received the pocket watch, trembling.


    He saw the family photo when he lifted the lid of the pocket watch.


    Clenching the watch, Cameron said after a long while, “The person in the photo is Miranda.”


    The onlookers had a heated discussion about how Ste got the pocket watch.


    Although Ste had numerous assumptions before, she couldn’t help feel stunned when hearing the


    answer.


    It seemed like she was right.


    Cameron suddenly held up Ste’s hand and asked anxiously, “Girl, how did you get the pocket


    watch?”


    Ste felt her throat so dry and painful. She replied after a long while, “It’s a relic of my mother.”


    Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.


    Their gazes were full of shock and confusion.


    If this was really a relic of Ste’s mother, didn’t it mean that she was Charles’ daughter?


    Then who was Phoebe, who had been an apple of Charles’ eye?


    When they looked towards Phoebe, they found that she was also shocked. It seemed like she was also


    confused by what was happening.


    Cameron returned the pocket watch to Ste and then looked towards Charles who had remained


    silent. He knitted his brows, “Charles, what’s going on?”


    Charlies said after several seconds, “Follow me.”


    Phoebe was the first person who followed behind him, “Dad, why…”


    Charles raised his hand, “Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s talk about thister.”


    Phoebe’s face became gloomier. After taking several steps, she turned around and took a nce at


    Ste with her teeth gritted.


    Holding the walking stick, Cameron said to Ste, “Girl, let’s follow him.”


    Ste nodded her head and put the pocket watch into her bag, “Okay.”


    After their leaving, Charles’ assistant walked over. He announced the end of this bidding and thanked


    them for their participation.


    It seemed like he was asking them to leave.


    Although their curiosity was not satisfied, they had no choice but to leave reluctantly.


    The venue, which was packed with guests just now, soon became empty.


    William had been fixing his eyes at Ste’s back. It seemed like he was lost in his thought.


    Right at this moment, rence emerged from aside and stood in front of him, “Congrattions, Mr.


    William.”


    William pulled himself back to the reality. He was not in a mood to make stilled conversation with


    rence and asked in a t tone, “Mr. Conrad, why do you congratte me?”


    rence raised his brows, “Of course I have to congratte you for the sessful bid for the Steward


    Group’s project, Mr. William.”


    “Oh, please don’t congratte me in advance. The result hasn’te out yet.”


    “Yes?” rence said, “I think Mr. William is the best bidder for today’s project and I believe that Charles


    also think so.”


    William smiled perfunctorily, “We should consider about each other before cooperation and what I can


    do is just to provide favorable conditions within my eptance range. But the Steward Group is the


    one to decide whether to cooperate with me.”


    rence replied, “Mr. William, you’ve prepared for this for a long time. If you even fail to get this


    project, isn’t it a waste of your time and efforts?”


    “Mr. Conrad, I don’t know what you mean. Ie here simply for the cooperation.”


    rence chuckled, “I think that Mr. William will be interested in other matters except for the


    cooperation, for instance, the thing happened just now.”


    William replied, “Mr. Conrad, please don’t joke with me. I’m a businessman, so naturally I’m only


    interested in my interests. The thing happened just now is rted to Ms. Radomil. Mr. Conrad, I think


    you should…”


    William suddenly paused. Knitting his brows and fixing his eyes on rence, he suddenly realized


    something.


    Meeting his gaze in the air, rence curled his lips into a light yet meaningful smile.


    William paused before continuing, “Mr. Conrad, I have to leave now as I have to deal with something.”


    William nodded at him to show his apology and then strode towards the door.


    After his leaving, Nathan walked to rence.


    rence said slowly, “We should leave too.”


    After leaving the venue, Nathan asked, “Mr. Conrad, Charles had begun to investigate William. If he


    doesn’t find anything weird, I guess that he will cooperate with him soon.”


    “Charles won’t find out any problem. William is thest choice for him now. Or precisely, he has no


    other choice.”


    “Should we do anything?”


    rence paused, “No need. Just as usual.”


    Nathan nodded his head, “Okay.”


    Standing beside the car with one hand in his pocket, rence turned around to take a nce at the


    venue and pressed his thin lips together.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Although he tried to sound out William just now, his answer was so perfect that he couldn’t find out


    anything.


    It seemed like William probably came for the thing happened twenty years ago. But rence still didn’t


    know his real identity.


    Seeing this and knowing what he was worrying about, Nathan walked over and said in a low voice, “Mr.


    Conrad, Cameron here. Nothing will happen to Mrs. Conrad.”


    rence snorted, “Who says that I’m worrying about her?”


    He got into the car after finishing the words.


    Nathan was rendered speechless.


    He would never admit his inner thought.


    It was rence who came to Cameron’s home and asked him toe here.


    …


    In the VIP lounge…


    Cameron sat beside Ste with Charles and Phoebe sitting opposite to them.


    Charles asked, “Can you show me your pocket watch?”


    Ste subconsciously looked towards Cameron when she heard the words. Cameron nodded his head.


    Ste took out the pocket watch from her bag again. She put it on the tea table and pushed it to


    Charles.


    Charles picked up the pocket watch and studied it carefully. After a while, he said, “It’s the one that I


    gifted Miranda.”


    After finishing the words, he asked Ste, “You said it’s a relic of your mother.”


    Ste took a light breath, “Yes.”


    Charles put down the pocket watch and said in a t tone, “I didn’t find the pocket watch on Miranda’s


    dead body after that ident.”


    Cameron said in a deep voice, “We just saw a burnt corpse before. What if it was not Miranda? Maybe


    she escaped the ident. Or else, how could Ms. Radomil get the pocket watch?”


    Charles chuckled, “Mr. Thomas, you also know what happened at that time. Lyndon kidnapped Phoebe


    and Miranda. Could it be that he snatched the pocket watch at the time. Otherwise, how could it be a


    relic of Ms. Radomil’s mother? I’m also curious.”


    Cameron was silent. He then looked towards Ste, “Girl, do you have a photo of your mother?”


    Ste nodded her head and took out a photo from her bag.


    After seeing the photo, Cameron’s expression became more serious. He tried to say something for


    several times, yet swallowed them again and again. In the end, he handed the photo to Charles.


    Charles took a nce at the photo and said, “I know what’s going on.”
