Chapter 311
On the other end of the line, the huge meeting room was pin-dropping quiet.
All the senior executives held their breath while exchanging nces with each other.
In the past, it happened that Mr. Conrad retorted the keyboard men online by using the official micro-
blog ID of Conrad Group. Hence, this scene was really not worth mentioning at all.
However, this was the very first time that they witnessed Mr. Conrad doing that. In their impressions,
Mr. Conrad wasn’t so afraid of his wife.
As the call ended, rence put down the phone. He coldly looked around the meeting room. “Where
did we stop?”
Nathan reminded him, “About the development progress of the projectsst year.”
rence hummed, rubbing his nose bridge. “Go on.”
The silent and lifeless office had more warmth as if the winter was gone.
After the meeting ended, Nathan followed rence and whispered, “Mr. Conrad, Daniel went to Star
Ferry Technology. As for William, he hasn’t taken any action yet.”
rence said, “Charles Steward watched him so closely. Of course, he wouldn’t take any action.”
Upon hearing it, Nathan asked in confusion, “Mr. Conrad, if what we guessed was true, wouldn’t it be
safer for him to give up the project of Steward Group?”
“How can a flying bow be turned back? They have been nning for such a long time to take one step
today. How could they give up so easily?”
“But if they insisted on carrying out their n, Mrs. Conrad would be dragged in danger certainly.”
After a moment of silence, rence said, “If that’s the case, it’s toote to regret it now, anyway.”
Nathan understood what he meant. William had already shown up in front of Charles. It would be just
fine if the project went on smoothly. Charles sent someone to watch him just for inspection. However, if
William directly gave it up, it would increase Charles''s suspicion of him. In that case, Ste would be
pushed into a much dangerous situation.
Sometimes, the destiny was quite ingenious. If they could have got the information earlier, things would
be quite different.
After taking a few steps, rence continued, “Do I have any other arrangements tonight?”
Nathan answered, “No, you don’t.”
Since rence was reconciled with Ste, he had always canceled the business dinner in the evening.
rence said indifferently, “Ste will go to a gathering. I’ll go to my mother’s tonight.”
Nathan slightly nodded. “Okay, Mr. Conrad. I’ll arrange it right now.”
rence added, “What actions has Joanna Perez taken?”
“She should take the action pretty soon.”
rence curled up his lips and said with a cold look, “It’s almost time. If she’s still not anxious, I will be
anxious definitely.”
...
The studio.
Ste finished packing when there were a few knocks on the door of her office. A girl stretched her
head in. “Ste, are you ready? We are about to leave now.”
“Yeah, I’m ready. Let’s go.”
The birthday celebration was nned in a bistro nearby the studio. A lot of snacks were sold there. All
the alcoholic drinks were fruit wines. Most of the customers were lovers or friends.
After Ste sat down, a girl next to her whispered to ask, “Ste, isn’t your younger brother joining us?”
Ste smiled. “He’s busy at school. Probably next time.”
The girl looked a bit disappointed but she couldn’t do anything. She said, “That’s alright.”
Since it was a girl’s gathering, besides talking about their favorite idols and gossips, they talked about
their love lives. After each other shared something, one girl asked, “Ste, what about you?”
Ste was absent-minded just now, so she didn’t listen to them carefully. Upon hearing the question,
she was a bit stunned. “What?”
“How did you get to know your boyfriend?”
Everyone seemed to be quite interested to know it.

Probably they didn’t know the aloof and handsome man who always came to the studio was the CEO
of Conrad Group. After the farce caused by Selina and the relevant events such as the hot search, they
naturally knew it.
Another girl echoed, “Exactly. Ste, is Mr. Conrad your ex-husband? You are together now, aren’t
you?”
“Mr. Conrad is so handsome. He’s rich and gentle. Awe! I’m so envious.”
Ste was shocked, wondering howe they thought rence was gentle.
“Besides Mr. Conrad, another handsome man who always came to find Ste in the studio is also quite
charming. Ste, he should be your admirer, right?”
“Ste is so pretty, so she must have a lot of admirers. But I believe Mr. Conrad suits her the most.”
“I don’t agree with you. If they truly fit each other, they wouldn’t have divorced. That’s why we should try
to fall in love several times. We can’t stick to only one man.”
“You are wrong. How could Mr. Conrad be the same as an ordinary man? He should be the most
charming one among them all, OK?”
“By the way, Ste, why did you divorce Mr. Conrad in the past?”
The girls discussed with each other, and the topic changed from how she got to know rence to how
they divorced.
For a moment, Ste didn’t know how to answer them. After thinking for a moment, she answered,
“Probably it was because ofcking trust. But I believe the most important is to meet your Mr. Right at
the right time. Love runs in both ways. No one would be absolutely right or wrong in it.”
If she hadn’t met rence in Twilight Club, and they were with different identities when meeting in a
different ce, there wouldn’t have been so many troublesome things.
Right then, one girl gently bumped the elbow of the girl sitting next to her. “Did you hear it? Ste also
said so. Don’t bitch about your boyfriend all the time. Love runs in both ways.”
The girl pouted. “If my boyfriend were so handsome as Mr. Conrad. Not to mention understanding him,
I’d rather p me across my face when fighting with him.”
Upon hearing it, all of them burst intoughter.
Ste picked up the sake and gulped down a cup. She couldn’t help butugh out.
Those girls were almost fresh graduates from the college. They were in their early twenties. Some of
them were still in thest year of college.
In their lives, there might be quite limited time for them tough out so freely in the future.
Right then, a girl sitting next to Ste asked, “Ste, may I ask you a question in private?”
Ste nodded. “Sure. Go ahead.”
The girl whispered, “Well... Does your younger brother have a girlfriend?”
Ste said, “I don’t think so.” After a pause, she added cautiously, “At least, so far as I know, he doesn’t
have one.”
The girl continued, “Do you know which type of girl he likes?”
Ste felt the question was quite difficult to answer.
She used to ask Channing as well, but he didn’t answer her in detail at all.
