Chapter 394


    Charles snorted. Apparently he was not convinced.


    Phoebe’s news appeared on the Inte right after the disclosure of the matter between the Conrad


    Group and Ste. It was definitely contrived.


    After a short while, Charles continued, “I can agree to the conditions you put forward before. But I have


    my conditions too.”


    Ste was not surprised at this answer. She smiled, “Mr. Steward, please tell me what it is.”


    Charles said, “I can only give half of the properties you want to you. You also know that the Steward


    Group in confronting many challenges now. Moreover, its stock price plummeted because of Phoebe’s


    scandal. This is what I can give you. It’s the maximum that I can give you.”


    Ste licked her lips expressionlessly. She didn’t reply as she was waiting for Charles’ rest words.


    Charles continued, “Except for this, you should give me a letter of assurance which assures that you


    will not intervene in any projects of the Steward Group. I will also promise to you that you will get all the


    benefits that you deserve to get.”


    When speaking, Charles took out a document that he printed in advance and pushed it to Steward.


    There was Charles’ signature and the Steward Group’s seal on thest page of the document.

    Ste took a nce at the document and then lifted her head again, “I can agree to it, Mr. Steward. But


    I hope you will not bother my brother again. This is myst condition. Moreover, Ms. Steward must


    apologize to my brother. The things she did have greatly impacted my brother’s study and life. If you


    don’t agree to this, even though I can let pass this matter, it will be hard for me to face my brother


    thereafter.”


    Charles narrowed his eyes. After a while, he said, “But you should clear that she will only apologize to


    him in private.”


    “I know. I just need Ms. Steward to apologize to my brother in person. I don’t mind others.”


    Charles didn’t speak again. It was acquiescence.


    Ste said, “Mr. Steward, I know that you’re a man of your word. You won’t get back on your words,


    right? Comparing to you, I’m so mean.”


    When speaking, Ste put a recording pen on the table.


    Seeing this, Charles’ expression changed dramatically.


    Ste said with difficulty, “I have no choice. I was fooled by this trick by someone yesterday. I should be


    smart and put it down to experience. But Mr. Steward, as long as you don’t go back on your words, this


    recording will be useless.”


    After finishing the words, Ste turned off the recording pen, picked up the pen on the table and signed


    her name on thest page of the document. She then opened the inkpad and pressed her fingerprint


    on the paper.


    After that, Ste picked up the document and recording pen and stood up, “Mr. Steward, please rest


    assured. I will handle this matte properly.”


    When Ste walked out of the studio, she saw Phoebe standing outside of the door. Her expression


    was so hideous. Apparently, Phoebe had heard the conversation.


    Ste smiled at her, “Ms. Steward, good morning.”


    Phoebe gritted her teeth, “Do you think that you will get the Steward Group by doing this?”


    “I never think so. After all, the Steward family has a great fortune and this is just a small part of it. But


    as the old saying goes, we should enjoy our when we can.”


    After finishing the words, Ste left quickly without paying any attention to Phoebe’s expression.


    When Ste appeared in her vision, Phoebe clenched her fists, reluctant to admit defeat. She walked


    into the study, “Dad, how can you agree to her conditions so easily?”


    Charles stood up and stood in front of the windows with his hands behind his back. He replied in an


    indifferent voice, “Those things are not important. We can give her since she wants them.”


    “But…”


    “Phoebe,” Charles interrupted her, “You should reflect on yourself. You were so careless when doing


    those things. You left some evidence and were then threatened.”


    Phoebe was suddenly lost for words and lowered her head.


    Charles continued, “Does the matter of the Conrad Group yesterday have something to do with you?”


    “I…”


    Phoebe stammered. After a long while, she replied, “Dad, please rest assured. They will not be able to


    find out my rtionship with that matter.”


    “That’s good.”


    After a moment, Charles said, “Let’s stop here.”


    Phoebe then left the studied.


    At the same time, Charles’ phone rang. When he answered the call, his subordinate’s low voice


    sounded from the other end of the phone, “Master, the man that we brought backst time runs away.”


    Charles narrowed his eyes gloomily, “How long has it been?”


    “Less than ten minutes.”


    “Go find him. You don’t need to bring him back again. Directly kill him.”


    “Okay.”


    …


    It had been raining when Ste drove to her studio. Ste took a nce at the document on the


    passenger seat and slightly pressed her lips together.


    Since she had gotten the things she wanted now, she should rify Phoebe’s scandals on the Inte.


    However, she was not in a hurry as Charles didn’t give her a time limit. She just needed to finish this


    task today.


    When she arrived at the studio, she found that her employees were having a heated discussion on the


    news on the Inte. But the strange thing was that they were standing at the door when discussing it.


    Ste asked, “Why are you standing here?”


    The girls shook their heads simultaneously, “This ce is cool.”


    Seeing this, Ste took a nce into the studio. Combining with their reactions, Ste figured out


    something. She raised her brows and smiled, “Go into the studio. It’s still raining outside.”


    After finishing the words, she walked into the studio.


    Ste pushed open the door of the office and saw rence sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. It


    seemed like he was sleeping.


    Ste closed the door gently, walked to rence, picked up the nket beside the sofa and gently put


    it on rence.


    Ste maintained the posture after finishing this. She slightly leaned forwards and fixed her eyes on


    him.


    She guessed this wretched man must have not sleptst night because there were two light dark


    circles below his eyes.


    Ste studied him for a while, and then she suddenly leaned forward andnded a kiss on his thin lips.


    But she didn’t expect that when she ended the kiss and prepared to stand up, the man in front of her


    suddenly opened his ck eyes.


    Ste, “…”


    rence fixed his ck eyes on her and asked in a low husky voice, “Did you kiss me secretly?”


    “I…”


    Before Ste could give an exnation, her wrist was grabbed by him. At the next moment, she fell into


    the man’s embrace.


    rence looked askance at her, “You can kiss me above board if you want to. Why did you kiss me


    secretly? I won’t mock at you.”


    Ste’s eyelids jumped. She thought she had made an unwise decision just now.


    Seeing that she was silent, rence rubbed her shoulder with his chin and said in a husky voice, “Why


    don’t you kiss me now? Then I have to kiss you, okay.”


    It was not a question. Instead, it was a notification.


    After finishing the words, he bit her lips. The kissed carried his miss for Ste and he slowly deepened


    the kiss.


    Ste patted his chest, wanting to tell him that they were now in the office and reminding him that it


    would be awkward if someone came to the office at this moment.


    But rence ignored it. He sped the back of her hand and pressed her onto the sofa while kissing


    her.
