Chapter 446


    At six o’clock in the evening, a ck Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the hotel.


    rence got off, walked around to the other side, pulled the door of the car open, and reached out to


    the woman sitting inside, slightly raising his eyebrows.


    Ste cured up her lips slightly. Putting her hand in his palm, she got off while holding the hemline of


    her dress.


    She was wearing a light purple dress tonight, which made her skin look more fair and smooth. On her


    neck, there was a dedicated ne and the pendant was the shape of a pocket watch.


    After Ste stood next to rence, the man gave her his harm.


    She took it gently.


    Then they walked into the hotel together.


    A lot of guests had witnessed the scene, starting to discuss with each other.


    “Are they Mr. Conrad and his ex... ex-girlfriend?”


    “I heard that she’s good-looking. This is the first time I have met her. She’s prettier than the movie


    stars.”


    “It seemed they are a good match. Why did they divorce?”


    “Of course for those same old stories - back then, she managed to marry into the Conrad family by her


    fake pregnancy. Everyone has known about it. They must divorce for this reason as well.”


    “I don’t agree. If so, why did Mr. Conrad keep a high profile when chasing after her earlier?”


    “You are so ignorant. Mr. Conrad’s ex-wife had legendary life experiences. I heard that she was sold


    into Twilight Club before.”The man who was speaking lowered his voice, “It seemed she was sold by


    her father. Then she met Mr. Conrad. Then things happened between a man and a woman happened


    between them. After one night, she went to the Conrad family.”


    “But, you still didn’t answer why Mr. Conrad started chasing after her again.”


    The man continued, “Don’t worry. I haven’t finished yet. Do you rememberst year Mr. Conrad and


    Phoebe Steward called off their engagement? It’s said that the Steward family disdains him as he’s an


    illegitimate son and doesn’t deserve the daughter of their family, so they canceled the engagement with


    him.”


    Right then, a voice suddenly was heard, “Then?”


    “Then, coincidentally, Mr. Conrad’s ex-wife went to find Charles Steward with some keepsake,


    deiming that he was Charles Steward’s biological daughter who has missed for many years.


    Although Charles Steward didn’t believe her, she had histest wife’s relic as well as with Mr. Thomas’s


    guarantee. Hence, Charles Steward took her in the Stewards’ Mansion for some reason.”


    The man paused and then continued, “Hence, if his ex-wife was the real daughter of the Steward


    family, how couldn’t Mr. Conrad be interested? As long as he could marry her, Steward Group would


    fall into his hands, wouldn’t it? It had to say that Mr. Conrad does have a long-term vision. He has


    easily obtained Steward Group.”


    After he finished speaking, he found guests around him had kept silent for a long time. Others who


    were gathering around him took a few steps back and distanced themselves from him. The atmosphere


    fell into a dead silence.


    The man turned around stiffly, seeing a face with a faint smile.


    Vincent said slowly, “That’s a good story.”


    “Hi, Mr... Mr. James.”


    “If rence knew you’ve made such an encouraging story for him, he might also apuse for it as


    well.”

    The man’s expression was stiffened, “I... I also heard it from others. It’s not made by me. I didn’t mean


    to nder Mr. Conrad in private. I was just...”


    Donald approached him and said friendly, “Spreading rumors can make you be sentenced to a


    maximum of three years. If you need my help, I''ll give you a discount.”


    The man couldn’t utter a word.


    In the banquet hall.


    After Ste and rence arrived, they saw Charles talking to Cameron. They went over and greeted


    them, “Good evening, Mr. Thomas. Good evening, Mr. Steward.”


    Cameron nodded with a smile. When looking over at rence, he didn’t seem to be quite happy, “Hi,


    Mr. Conrad. You are here as well.”


    rence was puzzled, wondering if he shouldn’t have been here.


    Right then, Emmett also arrived, standing next to Cameron.


    rence said indifferently, “We are going to use the restroom. Please excuse us.”


    After that, he dragged Ste away.


    Taking a few steps, Ste said, “Why are you taking me to the restroom with you? I don’t need to use


    it.”


    rence cast her a nce, “Do you want to stay with Emmett Carter alone?”


    Ste was speechless.


    She didn’t expect that rence would be so jealous.


    Besides, if she stayed, they wouldn’t stay alone. There were hundreds of guests in the banquet hall.


    Even if she wanted to stay with him alone, it wouldn’t be possible.


    In fact, rence didn’t go to the restroom at all. He had just found an excuse, taking her to a less


    crowded corner.


    Ste asked, “Do you n to avoid me from meeting Emmett in the future?”


    After a pause, she was afraid that rence would misunderstand her, so she added, “On such kind of


    asions today.”


    rence grabbed a ss of champagne. He said slowly, “If not necessary, you can’t meet him. Haven’t


    you already discussed your wedding?”


    Ste let out a hollowugh, “It happened such a long time ago. Howe you still remember it so


    clearly?”


    It was said that women liked to dig up the past, and so did men, didn’t they?


    rence took a sip of the champagne, “I can remember things that happened tens of thousand years


    ago. You and...”


    Before he almost spoke out that name, rence pressed his lips and stopped.


    Ste couldn’t help smiling, realizing how much he was jealous - he even didn’t want to mention that


    name.


    Actually, Horace and she had already ended as early as three years ago. Even after she divorced, she


    had never expected to be with him. She wondered why the wretched man was so petty.


    Ste said, “I’m staying in the same house with your ex-fiancee, but I never give any remarks, do I?”


    rence said indifferently, “Whom am I doing that for then?”


    “Think you are quite reasonable huh?”


    “Of course.”


    As they were speaking, Vincent and Donald walked over, “Stop arguing. There are new rumors


    tonight.”


    rence nced at him, “What nonsense are you talking about?”


    Vincent answered, “Nothing. I just heard a story about how you became Ste’s boyfriend again.”


    Donald waved his hand at Ste, “Hi, long time no see. Pleasee to me if you want to divorce in the


    future. Free of charge.”


    Both rence and Ste were speechless.


    When everyone was enjoying socializing, the anniversary ceremony of Steward Group officially started.


    Charles also walked to the stage. He talked about thepany culture, development, and some official


    lines. The guests apuded.


    Vincent said slowly, “The good show will start soon.”


    rence echoed indifferently, “He’s not the only one who directs the show tonight.”


    Upon hearing their words, Ste pressed her lips. Her gaze fell on Charles.
