Chapter 330


    Ste sat on the sofa, opened the food boxes one by one and ate directly without caring about


    rence.


    rence sat next to her, “Aren’t these for me?”


    Ste said deliberately, “Mr. Conrad is a picky eater so how will you like all these. You’re used to eating


    delicacies, how will you like these home-cooked dishes.”


    “Home-cooked dishes?” rence raised his eyebrows slightly, “You define yourself that way?”


    Ste was speechless.


    This wretched man was indeed the originator of behaving weirdly as he could even get the point upon


    hearing this.


    Ste ignored him and continued to eat with her head down.


    rence said, “Still jealous?”


    “Who is jealous, I…”


    “I know, you like to eat spicy food.” As he said, he added, “Spicier than all of them.”


    A mouthful of rice was stuck in Ste’s throat. Her face reddened upon being choked.


    rence patted her back and brought her a ss of water, “No one is eating yours, eat slowly.”


    Ste red at him as she took the water.


    rence said, “I’m not deliberately hiding it from you. There are too many things going on so I didn’t


    have time to tell you, not to mention I only said a few words to her. Before you came, I didn’t even see


    her.”


    After being informed by the receptionist saying that Aurora had arrived, rence went to the office


    downstairs.


    Aurora had been sitting here alone all day without even having lunch and that was why she was so


    livid.


    Ste drank water and said after calming down, “Mr. Conrad has a lot of good fortune in attracting


    women recently, how many times are there in total?”


    “…” rence asked, “Who did you hear that from?”


    “Do I need to hear from anyone, if you don’t want others to know, you shouldn’t do so. Why didn’t you


    tell me this morning?”


    renceughed and looked at her calmly, “You’re jealous about the incident about Phoebe until now.


    If I told you this, wouldn’t you take this to heart until you’re old.”


    Ste’s cheeks burned upon hearing his words. Bah, he was a shameless wretched man!


    After a moment of silence, Ste said, “Why do you suddenly have so many blind dates?”


    rence and his father were already at loggerheads. Even the harmony on the surface had long


    copsed, let alone how tempestuous the situation was behind the scenes.


    Under such circumstances, it was too bizarre that Dempsey would suddenly cosy up to him.


    It was absolutely impossible that he was unable to fall asleep at night so he suddenly realized his


    mistakes and decided to make it up to his son for the rest of his life.


    rence used his long fingers to caress her strands of hair and said, “You want to hear the truth?”


    “Did you take the initiative to ask for it?”


    rence was puzzled.


    He said, “I can’t even cope with you, how will I make myself a glutton for punishment.”


    Ste said, “Cope with?”


    She sneered twice, “Then I really have to thank Mr. Conrad for finding the time to palter with me.”


    renceughed lightly and vibrated against her chest, “Look at how petty you are, you keep paying


    excessive attention to the wording.”


    Ste was annoyed with him, “Are you going to say it or not? If not, I’m leaving.”


    rence’s chin rested on her shoulder and he said slowly, “You know that Dempsey has always


    wanted to degrade me from the current position and in order to do this, he even wanted to have


    cooperation with the Jason family and the Steward family via marriages.”


    Ste knew, of course. This also showed how the members of the Conrad family were afraid of him.


    rence continued, “In the entire City N, the power of the Steward family can’t be underestimated.


    Even though it has encountered so many incidents, with its strong foundation, it’s still quite powerful.”


    “But when the Steward family ran into problems at that time, you…didn’t Master Conrad immediately


    call off the marriage.”


    “That is because he can’t take control of the Steward family alone and he knew that I’ve been looking


    for Charles’s weakness. He was afraid of running into troubles so he quickly denied any connection


    with the Steward family.”


    Ste understood what he meant. Although Dempsey denied the connection with the Steward family,


    he would not wait there and see the Steward Group fall into the hands of rence.


    In that case, the Conrad family would have no power to fight against rence in the future.


    Ste asked, “So, he is now arranging these blind dates for you to divert your attention?”


    “Yes, but also no.”


    Ste did not understand.


    rence’s thin lips curled and he gazed at her, “Do you hate him.”


    Ste pursed her lips and did not say anything.


    She hated Dempsey, Joanna, Annie and everyone other than Justin.


    rence said again, “How do you think will he react when he finds out there is a 50% chance that


    you’re Charles’s biological daughter and you’re even in a rtionship with me?”


    Undoubtedly, he would do his best to make her and rence break up. He absolutely would not let


    rence and the Steward Group work together to deal with him.


    So that was exactly how it was.


    Ste pushed the food box in front of her to him, “Eat.”


    rence said, “Not angry anymore?”


    “I didn’t get angry.”


    It was just that she did not want to care about him.


    rence approached Ste and quickly kissed her side face when she was not paying attention.


    Before Ste could react, the wretched man sessfully took advantage of her.


    After eating, rence nced at the watch, “Do you need me to take you back?”


    “No need,” Ste said, “Don’t you still have work, I can go back by myself. Besides, you’ve given me a


    car.”


    Even though she did not say anything, rence also could know her situation in the Steward family.


    He said, “What else do you need, I’ll give it to you together.”


    “There is nothing needed,” Ste added, “By the way, Mr. Thomas also went to the Steward family this


    morning. For his sake, Charles shouldn’t be making things too difficult for me.”


    rence raised his eyebrows, “He went there?”


    Ste nodded, “It’s quite coincidental as not only did Mr. Thomas go, but Mr. William also went there.


    Was he the one who got the project that the Steward Group called for tenders a few days ago?”


    “Yes.”


    “Does he know about those underhand matters done by the Steward Group?”


    “Why?”


    Ste heaved a sigh of relief, “Nothing, I just think he is quite a nice person and he doesn’t know many


    people in City N, what if he is being cheated by Charles…”


    rence said, “Don’t worry, he is a businessman. He will investigate the background of the Steward


    Group before having cooperation with it, not to mention that he surely knows about something since the


    news not long ago were widely spread in that way.”


    Hearing this, Ste was relieved.


    She looked at the sky outside, “It’ste, I should leave now.”


    rence held her wrist, “I’ll walk you downstairs.”


    Ste’s lips curled into a smile, “Okay.”


    The wretched man was so clingy.


    At this time, it was drizzling outside. Although it was not a heavy downpour, it was quite cold as there


    was a cold wind.

    Ste opened the car door. When she was about to turn around and ask him to go back, there was


    sudden darkness in front of her eyes. rence’s thin lips fell on hers and his broad palm was sping


    the back of her head. He kissed her passionately.


    Ste was dumbfounded.


    Just when she was about to suffocate, rence finally let go of her and gently fixed her wind-blown


    hair, “Give me a call when you arrive.”
