Chapter 366


    Adolph said, “It’s just a cut. I’m used to it.”


    Ste knew how Adolph got those wounds without needing to ask much.


    It was probably to get the surgery fee for Modesty’s father. Ste said, “I’ll head to the bank tomorrow,


    and I will transfer the remaining one million to you.”


    Adolph stunned, “But I haven’t get Jeffrey.”


    Ste smiled, “You said you were confident.”


    Adolph sealed his lips and remained silent.


    After a while, a security guard approached them when he saw a pool of blood where Adolph stood.


    Adolph quickly walked into the rain before the security guard opened his mouth. Soon, he disappeared


    into the night.


    The security guard looked at Ste, “Madam, who is that guy? What did he tell you?”


    Ste answered, “He was just a by-passer asking for direction. I told him I didn’t know the ce, so he


    went off.”


    The security guard doubted Ste’s story, and he wanted to ask further questions. A ck Rolls Royce


    car stopped in front of them.


    A man stepped out of the car, and he had a grim look on his face. This man seemed much scarier than


    the previous man.


    A shudder ran down the security guard’s back.


    rence approached Ste, and he saw the pool of blood in front of her. rence looked even


    grimmer. He asked in a tense tone, “Where did you injure yourself?”


    Ste stunned. Then she smiled after she figured out what rence meant, “It wasn’t mine. I was not


    injured.”


    “Then what is this? And you?” rence paused after he realized the security guard was overhearing


    their conversation. The security guard quickly left the scene after rence took a nce at him. He


    then went and asked the cleaner to clean to ce.


    Ste pulled rence’s sleeves and whispered, “I will tell you more about itter. All in all, I wasn’t


    injured.”


    After confirming Ste was injuries-free and her clothes were dry, rence looked relieved. He hugged


    Ste tightly in his arm and said softly, “Are you trying to scare me to death by not picking up your


    phone?”


    It was the first time Ste saw rence being so nervous. Ste hugged rence back at his waist


    and exined softly, “My phone was on silent mode, so I didn’t know it rang.”


    rence continued to hug Ste tightly.


    rence almost went mad after seeing the empty studio and the bloodstains on the floor. If Ste didn’t


    call him back, he would have gone to the Steward manor and looked for Charles for revenge.


    There weren’t many people at the hospital, but nurses walked around, and many looked askance.


    Ste felt embarrassed, and she gently pushed rence away, “Alright, I’m fine, you see. Let’s get into


    the car. We’ll talk in the car.”


    rence only let go of Ste after a while, “Let me send you home.”


    “But…”


    “Nathan is here. Give him your car key.”


    rence sounded so demanding that Ste couldn’t reject. Ste gave in after she thought about what


    happened just now.


    After the ck Rolls Royce car drove out of the hospital, rence said, “You can tell you all about it


    now.”


    “It was nothing. Adolph…came to see me just now.”


    rence frowned and asked coldly, “He dared toe to see you?”


    Ste said, “It’s not what you think. He got Jeffrey’s whereabouts.”


    “Where is he now?”


    Ste told rence the ce where Adolph told her just now, and she said, “But he was right. It’s


    easier for him to look for Jeffrey than us. I think we better listen to him, you know, to avoid losing sight


    of Jeffrey again.”


    rence pouted. He didn’t refute the statement.


    If any of rence’s people knew how to deal with Jeffrey, they wouldn’t be in the dark for so long.


    Adolph tends to be more familiar with Jeffrey’s traits and behaviourspared to rence’s people. It


    would be much more effective to let Adolph look for Jeffrey.

    Ste knew rence agreed with her when she saw rence remained silent. Ste felt relieved.


    rence said out of the blue, “Don’t ever meet him alone next time.”


    Ste nodded, “Sure.”


    Even though Adolph didn’t have any ill intentions towards Ste, they didn’t belong in the same world


    after all.


    And after what Ste did at the hospital, she totally cleared whatever she owed Adolph.


    Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Steward manor.


    Ste thought rence would drop her here like before, then asked Nathan to send Ste’s car here,


    and rence would leave after that.


    What Ste didn’t expect was rence drove straight into thepound of the manor.


    Ste wondered, “Hmm?”


    rence rified, “It’s raining cats and dogs out there. You want me to stand here and wait for you?”


    “But…”


    “Don’t worry. He won’t kick me out for real.”


    The car has entered thepound of the manor. It’d be useless to say anything else.


    Ste looked at her watch and thought, “Charles should be in his room now.”


    The car stopped at the garden after a few minutes.


    Ste was about to get down the car, but rence said, “Sit.”


    rence opened the car door and took the umbre from the maid. He walked over to the passenger


    seat and opened the door for Ste. rence then reached out his hand to Ste.


    Ste smiled when she saw what rence did. He definitely knew how to entertain a girl.


    The whole trip from the garden to the house, Ste’s clothes didn’t even have a single sprinkle of rain,


    other than her shoes.


    Charles was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. He raised his head when he heard the


    doorknob turned. Charles wasn’t surprised at all when he saw rence. He put away the newspaper


    and said, “Mr. Conrad. Visiting in the middle of the night without notifying us? Isn’t it inappropriate?”


    “Didn’t I?” rence said slowly, “Ms. Radomil has invited me a few times before, and it is hard to reject


    such a passionate invitation. So happen that I’m free today. Didn’t Ms. Radomil told you?”


    Ste felt speechless.


    rence really wasn’t afraid that Charles was going to kick him out.


    Charles was calm, “Even if that’s true, it is never appropriate to visit at such ate hour. Didn’t you


    learn your manners?”


    “Ah, what an usation. I was sending my girlfriend home. I didn’t learn my manners properly only if I


    couldn’t aplish this simple task.”


    Charles expression turned sulky.


    Ste quickly said, “He was sending me home because it was raining heavily outside. He won’t stay


    long. I hope you don’t mind, Mr. Steward.”


    Charles stood up, “Then leave now. We don’t wee a stranger.”


    “Mr. Steward,” rence stopped Charles, “Shall we have a word, please?”


    Charles stopped and stared at rence. Ste didn’t expect rence to do this. She looked at


    rence, hoping to get an answer as to why he did that.


    rence didn’t look at Ste. Instead, he stared at Charles, “If Mr. Steward didn’t think it is a good


    time, I could go to the Steward Group tomorrow as well.”


    rence stood and considered for a few seconds, then said, “Come with me.”


    After Charles turned around, rence stroked Ste’s hair and said softly, “Go back to your room first.


    I’ll tell you about itter.”
