Chapter 320


    If it was fake, rence lied to her and wanted herself to expose. If she admitted it, she would fall into


    his trap.


    However, if what he said was true, Phoebe knew that rence could have the heart to send the video


    clips to the media. He didn’t care about anyone’s dignity, let alone that he was against Steward Group


    now.


    Steward Group had be a target now. Once the video clip was leaked, the loss caused and the


    impact on her wouldn’t be estimated.


    Seeing that she was silent, rence added, “Why? Ms. Steward, you are always proud and think


    highly of yourself. You dared to do it but you dare not to admit it, do you?”


    After a few seconds, Phoebe inhaled and sat upright. “Yes. I’ve done it. But, even I stabbed the long


    nail into the horse, I didn’t have any way to control the horse to hurt others. Animals are spiritual. As


    the target to be attacked, Ms. Radomil, don’t you do a self-reflection? There are so many people in this


    club, but why did the horse only rush to you?”

    It was the first time that Ste encountered such a cunning woman like Phoebe who could make a false


    countercharge.


    Instead of getting angry, Ste smiled. “Ms. Steward, do you also mean that since City N is so big, but


    Bernice young only made the trouble to me because I deserved it?”


    After a pause, she added, “By the way, Ms. Steward. I forgot to tell you. She survived the car ident.


    She woke upst week and was transferred to the general intensive care unit a few days ago. Her


    consciousness was quite clear and she told your car te number without any mistake.”


    Upon hearing it, not only Phoebe, but rence also looked over at her. He raised his brows at Ste as


    if he asked why she hadn’t told him such information.


    It wasn’t that Ste didn’t want to tell him. She just didn’t have any chance to mention it.


    She had been bustle and hustle recently.


    If it weren’t that the incident happened today, she would find a more suitable asion to tell him about


    it.


    Phoebe pressed her lips tightly, clenching her hands on the knees. She had never expected that Ste


    could have caught her on such a big matter.


    Ste smiled gently. “Ms. Steward, please don’t worry. I won’t tell others about this matter. After all,


    we’ll be a family soon. If things you’ve done were exposed, you wouldn’t be the only one who got


    impacted. Steward Group would be impacted, too. In that case, the loss outweighs the gain to me.”


    Phoebe suddenly stood up and strode away.


    After she was gone, Ste’s smile gradually faded away.


    The manager said, “Mr... Mr. Conrad, I’m leaving now...”


    “Okay.”


    Soon, only rence and Ste were left in the lounge.


    rence leaned against the sofa, stretching his arm behind her. “I’ve never known that you are so


    good at threatening others.”


    “Oh, I’m not sopetent as you, Mr. Conrad. You even could make lies of the videos.”


    rence curled up his lips. “That means we are a perfect match.”


    Ste was speechless.


    This wretched man couldn’t stop flirting with her. How disgusting!


    rence said, “You’ve caught her on those two matters, so she would be restrained a lot after you


    moved into the Steward’s. But you still must be alert to Charles Steward.”


    Ste slightly nodded. “I know.”


    Since she would move into the Steward’s alone, how could she be unprepared at all?


    After walking out of the lounge, Ste saw that it was getting dark outside. It was until then did she


    realize how much time they had wasted.


    Due to this incident, they even didn’t have a chance to eat the food she preparedst night.


    It seemed that the day should end here.


    She could only bring the food back home.


    After sitting in the car, Ste found that rence didn’t drive in the direction back home. Instead, he


    drove all the way to the suburbia.


    She turned to ask him, “Aren’t we going home?”


    rence answered, “Our date hasn’t started yet. Why would we go home?”


    Ste was puzzled.


    She wondered what they were doing the whole afternoon in that case.


    She didn’t insist on asking him thought. They were out anyway. If they went home now, there was


    nothing to do except for having dinner and sleep.


    It would be better to take this chance to rx.


    After half an hour, the car parked on the seashore.


    Ste didn’t expect that rence would take her here. After being taken aback for a moment, she had


    a bright smile.


    rence unfastened the seat belt. He got off and opened the rear door, taking the lunch boxes out.


    “Let’s roll.”


    Ste followed him to walk forward. After walking for a distance, she found that they arrived at a t


    area nearby the sea, which was decorated deliberately. Warm-colored light belts were wrapping around


    the pergs. The ground was covered with ayer of roses. Two cushions were put at the back. There


    were also a bottle of wine and two goblets. The scene looked romantic and warm.


    It looked like a perfect ce for dating indeed.


    She never thought that the wretched man could treat it so seriously.


    After sitting down, Ste opened the lunch boxes one after another. When seeing the miserable shapes


    of the food, she paused a bit.


    rence coughed. “It’s not important how they look like. As long as they are tasty.”


    Ste closed her eyes, trying to keep smiling. “Mr. Conrad, you’d better stay away from the kitchen in


    the future.”


    She didn’t understand -- the food was quite neat when she put it on the tes.


    He just moved the food into the lunch boxes, but the food became so miserable.


    He must be the new generation of kitchen killers.


    rence frowned unhappily. “Are you disdaining me?”


    “Not really. I’m just giving you a suggestion from the bottom of my heart.”


    rence wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. He opened the wine bottle and filled the goblets with


    wine.


    After experiencing what happened in the afternoon, Ste was starved. She picked up a piece of cake


    and took a bite. Seeing that rence stared at her without a blink, she picked up a sushi roll at random


    and pressed it into his mouth.


    Much to her surprise, before her fingers were withdrawn, the man gently bit them.


    Ste felt her hand numb and tickled. She blushed. “What are you doing?”


    rence swallowed the sushi and answered, “A response to you.”


    Ste choked up.


    What kind of response was it?


    Then Ste decided to take care of herself when eating, ignoring himpletely.


    When she was munching, she looked around the view of the area.


    The sea at night wasn’t as magnificent, blue, and clear as that in the daytime, but it had different


    scenery under the reflection of the distant lighthouse.


    She raised her head and suddenly found that stars were twinkling in the night sky.


    It seemed that it would be a pleasant day tomorrow.


    Ste poked rence with her elbow, looking quite delighted. “Mr. Conrad, look! So many stars. How


    beautiful!”


    rence looked at her and said slowly, “La ste anto a me è più be. (The star next to me is


    more beautiful.)”


    Ste was fully concentrated in the sky, so she didn’t hear what he spoke. Subconsciously, she asked,


    “Pardon?”


    “Nothing.” rence handed her a goblet. “You haven’t drunk enoughst night, have you? Let me drink


    with you tonight.”


    Ste withdrew her gaze. “When did I tell you that I didn’t drink enough? I just didn’t get drunk.”


    rence curled up his thin lips into a smile. “Not drunk means not enough, doesn’t it?”


    Ste was puzzled.


    She wondered what kind of false reason it was.
