Chapter 467
Ste did not expect that rence would bring her to the future showroom model of Anqiao Street.
The showroom was quiet, with soft music ying.
At this time, the person in charge came over, “Mr. Conrad, is there anything I can do for you?”
rence said indifferently, “No.”
“Okay, then I’ll pour a ss of water for both of you.”
Ste was looking at the ns carefully when rence approached her, “How is it?”
She turned her head to look at rence, “I think it’s quite nice. After it’spleted, it shall be the
largest resort hotel in Aqock. The architecture is quite distinctive. I think it will attract a lot of people.”
rence twitched his eyebrows, probably not expecting her to think of it like that.
He slowly said, “How about the rest?”
“The rest ...”
Ste nced at the model in front of her again. She looked at the small river in the centre of the hotel
and asked in a low voice, “What is this?”
rence said, “This is the stream in Anqiao Street which had been widened.”
Ste suddenly realized. No wonder.
In fact, apart from the houses which were full of history on both sides of Anqiao Street, the most
distinctive feature was this stream.
When the weather was hot, sitting there and blowing the breeze was even morefortable than
staying in an air-conditioned room.
The stream kept extending to the end of theke.
Theke had also been re-nned to be a tourist attraction next to the hotel, with small boats
floating on it.
Ste looked at the hotel for a while and suddenly realized that the entire architectural style of the hotel
seemed to be based on this stream and theke as a signature, thus adding a fresh blend of elements.
It turned out that they had preserved the main feature of Anqiao Street so that the hotel did not look
weird.
After understanding it, Ste said, “How many years will it take toplete?”
“Three years if it’s fast, five if it’s slow.”
Ste nodded. At a nce, this project was huge, three years was considered quite fast actually.
She said, “Then, after this ce is built, let’se here for a tour.”
rence hooked the corner of his lips, “Alright,”
...
It was already evening when they returned to City N.
Sitting in the car, when Ste opened her phone, it showed that she had several missed calls from
strangers.
She nced at rence secretly and pursed her lips after finding that he was reading the information.
When she arrived at her home, she went into her bedroom, shut the door and dialled the numbers
when rence did not pay attention to her.
“Is there something wrong?”
Adolph said, “Are you not in City N?”
Ste said, “I went to Aqock two days ago and I’m already back. I was on the ne when you called
me. What happened?”
Adolph said, “I think you cane over tomorrow. I should have found what Jeffrey hid in this house.”
Ste was puzzled, “Hidden things?”
“Yes, I’ll tell you the details tomorrow.” After a pause, Adolph added, “It will be better if you call your
brother toe along.”
Ste gripped the phone and sensed the seriousness of the matter, “Okay, I know.”
After hanging up the phone, Ste dialled Channing’s number and asked if he had sses tomorrow.
Channing said, “There’s only one session in the afternoon.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up then and we’ll go back together.”
“Did Jeffrey get into trouble again?”
“No, Jeffrey ... won’t be able to cause any trouble.”
Although Ste never asked rence how he dealt with Jeffrey, she thought that it would not be a
good oue.
More than that, she did not want to know.
She just assumed that Jeffrey had died in the prison.
Channing said, “Then I’ll wait for you at the school gate.”
Ste agreed and put away her phone when the bedroom door was opened.
rence said, “Who are you talking to for so long?”
“Chan. I’m going to meet him tomorrow.”
“For what?”
Ste opened her mouth but she did not tell him about Adolph. rence did not like her to meet
Adolph. Moreover, she did not know what the actual situation was. She nned to tell himter on.
She was calm, “Nothing. I haven’t met him for a long time. As an elder sister, I have the responsibility to
care for him.”
rence agreed, “You’re right, as a brother-inw, I can’t abandon him either.”
Ste was speechless.
She pushed him outside, “You don’t have to follow me all the time, go and do your work.”
rence then wrapped his arms around her waist, “Alright, just teasing you. Going to take a shower?”
“You go and wash up, I ...”
“Together.”
Ste could not protest in time before she was brought to the bathroom.
...
The next day, just after walking to the basement, she saw Nathan standing in front of a brand new
Bentley, looking at them with a smile, “Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil.”
Seeing this, Ste turned her head to look at rence. She inclined her head.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
rence took the key from Nathan and handed it to her, “The previous one hasn’t been repaired yet,
you can drive this one first, it’s not convenient to always drive other people’s car.”
Ste said, “Does it take that long to repair a tailgate...”
Nathan stepped forward, “Ms. Radomil, it’s like this, the tailgate is not a big problem, the problem is the
insurance issue. They haven’t yet negotiated properly so they leave the evidence in the insurance
company.”
Ste did not know much about these things either, she just simply gave some responses, “Okay.”
She opened the car door and said to rence, “I’ll leave first then.”
rence pursed his thin lips. He went forward to hold her wrist, “Be careful.”
Ste nodded, “I always drive carefully. I won’t drive very fast.”
“What I mean is, before you get in the car, check if the door has been opened by someone. Make sure
the seat belt, the brakes, the elerator are all okay before you set off. No matter where you are, if
you encounter someone you don’t know knocking on the car window, don’t open it, lock it and call me.”
Ste had actually rarely seen rence spoke to her in such a serious manner, which made her feel a
little strange.
She tentatively asked, “What’s wrong?”
“No, just be careful, unless you want me to pick you up and drop you off every day.”
“... Thank you, I’ll be cautious.”
After saying that, Ste hurriedly got into the car.
rence hooked the corners of his lips. He stood outside and knocked on the car window.
After a few seconds, the window was lowered slowly. Ste showed her face, “Is there anything else?”
rence said, “I have a meeting this afternoon, I don’t know when it will end, you don’t have to wait for
me after work,e back by yourself.”
“Got it.” Ste said, “Then, I’ll leave first?”
rence withdrew his hand and stuck it in the pocket of his trouser, “Alright.”
The car window rose and the white Bentley disappeared from sight in a split second.
Nathan walked over, "Mr. Conrad, why didn’t you just tell Ms. Radomil about the car ident?"
rence spoke indifferently, “She was tensed when she stayed in the Steward family. She has just
calmed down. Don’t tell her first and send someone to keep a close eye on the area around the studio.
Don’t let Phoebe’s or Charles’ men have a chance to put her in danger.”
“Okay.”
