Chapter 452


    Lyndon’s room was seriously burnt and she could barely see its original appearance.


    The safe on the wall was deformed by the fire and its door hung there loosely. The things in the safe


    were all burnt to ashes.


    When Ste was focused on this, rence’s voice sounded from behind, “Was it Adolph who gave you


    the things?”


    Ste gently groaned an answer.


    rence asked, “How do you know the passwords?”


    Ste pulled herself together and replied slowly, “I remembered that my father’s birthday is on the same


    day with Lyndon’s. They were born on the same day. So I had a try. But I didn’t expect that I would be


    so lucky.”


    rence asked, “Do you have any other impression of your father?”


    Ste shook her head, “I don’t even remember how he looked like. How will I have other impression of


    him?”


    “Then do you want to see him again?”


    Ste, “…”


    She turned to look at rence and said seriously, “Now I can be sure that my guesses before are all


    wrong because you always like to say these weird and irrelevant words.”


    rence curled his lips into a smile, “All right. Have you finished? If you’re finish, let’s leave.”


    Since she couldn’t find out anything here, Ste said, “Let’s go.”


    She came back to her bedroom and took out her luggage case form the wardrobe. Based on the


    principle of not wasting anything, she packaged up all the clothes she could wear and took as many as


    she could.


    After getting into the car, rence tapped the steering wheel and asked ndly, “What did Adolph


    request?”


    Ste asked while buckling up her seatbelt, “What?”


    “He helped you. Didn’t he have any request?”


    “No.” Ste replied in a soft tone, “Probably he thought that I had helped him before and didn’t request


    me for anything.”


    rence knitted his brows and looked towards Ste, “Do you mean the thing that you sent him to the


    hospital?”


    “Not so. But it’s part of the reasons.”


    rence, “…”


    “s, anyway, this matter is quiteplicated and I can’t make it clear with you in such a short time.


    We can talk about this when there’s a chance in the future.”


    rence said, “Don’t meet him alone in the future.”


    Ste paused and then asked, “Is the Conrad family still chasing after him?”


    “What do you think of it?”


    Ste hesitated for a while and then finally made up her mind and asked, “Er… May I…”


    rence knew what she wanted to say without pondering it and directly refused it, “No way.”


    “I haven’t told you my request.”


    “I know clearly what’s in your mind. You want me to deal with the Conrad family so that Dempsey’s men


    will let go of him, right?”


    Ste exined, “I just want to ask whether this is impossible. I won’t force you to do so. Moreover, if


    it’s inconvenient for you to do so, I won’t bother you.”


    rence looked askance at her and suddenly chuckled, “Ste, why are you always remembering


    these petty favors so clearly? Do you forget what he has done to you?”


    “I never forget it. It’s just that those things have long been a past. I would rather to remember the


    kindness of the other people than remembering their evilness. In this way, my life will be better. To be


    fair, he never takes the initiative to do harm to me. Before it was because Jeffrey borrowed money from


    a loan shark, andter, it was because…”


    Ste didn’t want to mention Modesty. She paused and then said, “Comparing to those things, I think


    the favors he gave to me deserved to be remembered by me. It doesn’t matter if you can’t deal with this


    matter. I will try my best to return his favors.”


    rence slightly narrowed his ck eyes, “I can deal with this matter, but I have my condition.”


    Ste asked tentatively, “What’s it?”


    “Move back to Starry Lake Mansion and live with me.”


    Ste pressed her lips together when she heard the words and slightly lowered her head. She didn’t


    reply at the moment.


    rence continued, “I know you have many unhappy memories in that ce, but I promise that in the


    rest of my life, I will only create happy memories about that ce for you.”


    Ste prepared to say something, but rence continued again, “Ste, it’s our home.”


    Ste was a bit stunned when she heard the words. She couldn’t say anything now.


    After a while, she replied in a stuffy voice, “Give me several days to consider it.”


    rence slightly raised his brows and replied, “Okay.”


    Ste winded down the car window and took a nce at the vi which was engulfed by the darkness


    behind and said, “Let’s go.”


    Ste looked out of the window all the way, seeming to be pondering something.


    rence looked askance at her, licked his thin lips, and said, “Ste.”


    Ste pulled herself together and asked, “Yes? What’s the matter?”


    “I don’t have too many affairs to deal with in thepany in these few days. I can send you to your


    studio first. Wait for me tonight.”


    Ste said, “I have a car too. You can handle with your own affairs.”


    rence said ndly, “Your car has been broken.”


    Ste, “?”


    rence didn’t change his expression at all. “When Nathan’s subordinate drove your car back, it was


    rear-ended and then sent for maintenance.”


    “I can hail a taxi.”


    rence, “…”


    He said with dissatisfaction, “You don’t want me to give you a ride?”


    Ste stretched outzily, feeling a bit sleepy. “It’s just that I feel it very troublesome. It’s unnecessary.


    You have some important affairs to deal with in thepany, and I cane back alone.”


    rence said, “Wait until Lyndon and Phoebe are caught.”


    Ste knew what he was worrying about and didn’t retort him again.


    When she came back to her apartment, Ste took out a set of pajamas and walked into the bathroom.


    The clothes she was wearing now still had the smell of the smoke.


    When the door of the bathroom was closed, rence finally retrieved his gaze. His expression turned


    cold. He took out his phone from the pocket of his pants and dialed Nathan, “What’s the situation now?”


    “He’s still in the emergency room. His condition… is not good.”


    “Find the best driver and save him.”


    Nathan received the order and then said, “Mr. Conrad, I’ve investigated it. Except for man-made


    mistakes in the brake, the car’s elerator was also intentionally broken. If he jumped out of the car a


    minuteter, probably…”


    rence interrupted him in a cold voice, “Enough.”


    “Should I investigate the person behind this?”


    “Except for Lyndon and Phoebe, who would do this at this critical point of time? Expand the search


    range and find out these two persons as soon as possible.”


    “Okay.”


    After ending the call, rence tossed his phone onto the sofa and lifted his hand to rub his nose.


    Luckily…


    If it was Ste who drove the car tonight, the one lying in the emergency room would be Ste.


    In the bathroom…


    Ste felt much better after taking the shower and the tiredness disappeared into the thin air.


    She half dried her hair and prepared to walk out of the bathroom and go to the kitchen to see whether


    there was any food. rence suddenly walked over and pulled her into his arms.


    Ste didn’t expect that he would wait for her at the door. She lifted her arm and patted his shoulder,


    “rence, let go. I feel breathless.”


    “I’m the one who feels breathless.”


    Ste noticed that his voice was lower than it sounded in usual times. It sounded as if he was enduring


    something. She didn’t struggle again and said in a soft tone, “What’s wrong?”


    “Nothing. Let me hug you for a while.”

    Ste, “…”


    Was this an excuse for this wretched man to take advantage her?
