Chapter 545
When William got out of the car, he saw rence standing there. It seemed like he was a bit surprised.
He walked over and asked, “Mr. Conrad, howes you’re here.”
“I heard that you’re going back to the UK today, so Ie here to see you off.” rence continued, “I
haven’t thanked you for your favor before.”
William replied in a calm voice, “It’s not a big deal. But he still ran away. When I found out his detailed
information, I will ask my subordinate to inform you.”
rence slightly nodded his head, “Then I should thank you in advance.”
William was rendered speechless.
It was the first time that rence was so polite to the other person.
Even when facing his father, rence would not show him any respect and the atmosphere between
them was always strained.
His current attitude was quite unpredictable.
After a long while, William finally replied, “You’re wee, Mr. Conrad.”
Right at this moment, the car window was winded down. Aaron popped out his head, “William, shall we
go?”
William turned around and took a nce at his subordinate, “Take him into the airport first.”
“Okay.”
rence slightly knitted his brows, “Are you bringing him to the UK?”
William replied, “His parents have all died. It will be hurting for him to stay here.”
rence’s expression became cold and he said impolitely, “Mr. William, you consider a lot for other
people’s child.”
William understood what he meant. He only replied after a short while of silence, “I’m doing the thing
I’m able to do.”
“Then do you n not toe back to City N again aftering back to the UK?”
William became silent.
rence continued, “Twenty years ago, a tragedy happened because you trusted the wrong person.
What you should do now is try to remedy for it as possible as you can, but not to evade the problem.”
“I’m not evading the problem. It’s just that…” William paused and then continued, “I don’t want her to
get hurt.”
“There must be a way.”
William looked towards him and said slowly, “Mr. Conrad, I appreciate it that you cane here and
say these words to me today. But you should be clear of one thing. If I have a daughter, I will not allow
her to marry you. As for the reason, I think you should be clear of it.”
rence was lost for words.
He looked down and took a nce at his wristwatch, “It’s almost the time. I will not see you off, Mr.
William, goodbye.”
William’s subordinate also walked over and urged him to leave.
William said, “Mr. Conrad, please take care of those things when I’m not in City N.”
“You’re wee. It’s what I should do.”
When William entered the airport, rence secretly gritted his teeth.
Ste pushed open the door and asked in a soft voice, “What were you talking about? You two talked
for so long.”
rence withdrew his lines of sight, “Just some courteous greetings.”
Ste secretly heaved a sigh and said, “Let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
In a ck car that was parked not far away, Jon witnessed the whole scene and curled his lips into a
smile.
He took out his phone and dialed a number, “He has left. We can go into action.”
…
Aftering back home, Ste went to the bathroom. She felt much morefortable after taking a
bath as she got rid of the smell of disinfectants which was particr in hospital.
She opened the refrigerator while drying her hair, “What would you like for the meal? I will go to the
supermarket to buy some food materials.”
rence walked towards her, “You can ask Nathan to buy it. You just left the hospital and need rest.”
Ste twitched her lips, “Don’t be so cruel. Nathan has many tasks every day. I’m afraid that he would
be bald one day. What should he do if no woman wants to marry him?”
rence raised his brows, “Many tasks? His annual sry is much higher than the total profits of your
studio.”
Ste was lost for words.
It was a bad habit to sympathize with a person who had a better life than her.
Ste said, “Don’t bother him. I want to go out for a walk. If you don’t want to go out, I can…”
“Who told you I don’t want to go out? Go change your clothes.”
When going shopping in the supermarket, Ste picked up many goods as she thought the refrigerator
was almost empty.
When they paid the bill, she realized she had picked up two big bags of goods.
When they walked to the underground floor of the supermarket, rence’s phone rang. He took a
nce at the caller ID and said to Ste, “Wait a minute.”
He then walked aside.
Ste groaned a simple answer and stood on the spot. She took out her phone and browsed Tik Tok.
rence walked far away and answered the call, “What’s the matter?”
Maxwell reported anxiously, “Mr. Conrad, something goes wrong. Little Young Master and Ms.
Anderson are all missed.”
rence’s expression immediately turned cold, “What did you say?”
Maxwell hurriedly replied, “There was an ident in the apartment ten minutes ago and the fire quickly
spread to the floor of our house. Therefore, I took Ms. Anderson and Noah downstairs. Initially, I’d been
following them. But a woman said her child was still upstairs. She grabbed my hand and asked me to
help her. Because of this, Ms. Anderson and Noah disappeared in my vision…”
“What about other people?”

“As it was so sudden, we were all caught out of guard and didn’t prepare for it. At that time, many
residents stayed downstairs and there were many people. They… They didn’t see Ms. Anderson and
Noah.”
rence pressed his thin lips together, “Go find them. I will be back soon.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, rence walked to Ste in strides.
Hearing his footsteps, Ste looked up at him, yet only to find rence being shrouded in a cold aura.
She asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Let’s go back first.”
Ste put her phone back into her pocket and nodded her head.
As the car was driven on the road, Ste gradually noticed that they were not on the way back to their
apartment.
Ste asked, “Where are we going?”
rence clenched the steering wheel and replied in a tensed voice, “There’s a fire ident in the
apartment. I will send you back to Starry Lake Mansion.”
Ste paused and then realized what he meant to send her back.
She asked, “What about you?”
rence replied, “I have to deal with something.”
“Is there any problem in thepany?”
rence turned his head to look at her, his expression bing soft. He replied in a soft voice, “I will
note back tonight. Go to bed early.”
“I see. Go on with your business. Don’t worry about me.”
Judging from rence’s expression, there must be a big problem in the Conrad group. What she could
do now was not to trouble him.
The car soon stopped at the gate of the Starry Lake Mansion. Ste got out of the car with two big
shopping bags, “Hurry up to go to yourpany. I will go back.”
rence moved his thin lips trying to say something, yet he didn’t say anything in the end. He replied,
“Okay.” Then he quickly started the car and left.
As they didn’t tell Alisa in advance that they woulde back to the mansion, so Alisa had gotten off
the work. Ste carried a big bag with both hands and then walked out to carry the other one.
She panted slightly and turned on the lights of the house. Looking at the warm house, the smile on her
face uncontrobly became brighter.
After a rest, Ste took out the things in the bags one by one and put them into the refrigerator.
After this, Ste took out her phone and a piece of news about the fire ident in the apartment
popped out.
Ste studied the photos of the scene and found it was quite a big fire.
