Chapter 641


    Sitting in the car, Ste could hear the pitter-patter of the rain.


    There came Archer’s voice from the phone.


    Caesar had been in a rtionship with a woman for many years and they were supposed to get


    married earlier. However, the members of the James family were not satisfied with that woman’s family


    background and tried to separate them.


    But Caesar had been insisting on marrying her.


    Nheless, out of some unknown reasons, when the members of the James family were about to


    agree to the marriage, Caesar broke up with that woman.


    Several dayster, that woman died because of a car ident.


    Ever since that, Caesar had disappeared from the James family.


    The James family had been telling outsiders that Caesar died in that car ident with that woman.


    Soon after this ident, Franklin and Caesar’s father, namely ine’s grandpa, suffered an illness and


    died after struggling for half a year.


    Rumours had it in the James family that that woman approached Caesar for the sake of the James’


    family’s power. However, as she couldn’t get the thing she wanted from Caesar, she dumped him and


    prepared to find the other man.


    Caesar couldn’t suppress his anger and arranged the car ident to kill that woman. Then he felt so


    embarrassed to stay in the James family and secretly left Riverside.


    To prevent the public’s discussion, the James family dered that Caesar was dead.


    Archermented, “Although they said so, I think it’s not that usible.”


    Ste asked, “Why?”


    “In terms of the position in the James family, Hilbert is only inferior to the patriarch. Although Bancroft


    was the patriarch of the James family back then, Franklin and Caesar still had a high position in the


    family. If that woman really approached him for the sake of powers, Caesar was indeed the most


    suitable candidate at that time.”


    “But didn’t you say that the members of the James family had been objecting to their marriage even


    though they had been in a rtionship for several years?”


    “Yes. But they broke up when Caesar’s father was about to agree to it. It’s so ridiculous.”


    Ste clenched her phone, remaining silent. She thought what Archer said just now made sense.


    She also thought the whole thing weird.

    Archer continued, “I’ve asked Darnell about this. This is probably a secret of the James family. As


    Hilbert suppressed the spreading of this news and Bancroft helped keep it a secret, the outsiders


    hadn’t heard anything about this. I guess only the people involved know what had happened.”


    “Even Darnell is not clear of it?”


    “Yes. The senior generation has been keeping it a secret and it has been a long time, so it’s hard to


    investigate this. But rest assured, I will tell you if there’s any news.”


    Ste nodded her head, “Okay.


    She put down her phone after ending the call.


    Sherry couldn’t help but click her tongue, “A big family is indeed different. There are always


    complicated and ridiculous things in big families.”


    Ste also thought so. She then started the car.


    When they arrived downstairs of the apartment, the rain became heavier.


    Ste walked out of the lift and said, “Sherry, you can go back first and have a rest. I want to have a


    look at ine.”


    “Okay. Call me if you have any problems.”


    Ste pressed ine’s doorbell. Several minutester, ine opened the door while rubbing her eyes.


    She had been sleeping sinceing back.


    If it wasn’t because of the doorbell, she could sleep until tomorrow.


    ine greeted her, yawning, “Ste.”


    Ste asked, “Did you have dinner?”


    ine leanedzily against the door, “Not yet.”


    “Come to my house. What would you like to eat?”


    ine immediately became energetic and followed behind her happily.


    Ste opened the refrigerator and then cooked a dish that ine liked the most.


    When the fragrance spread out, ine stood at the door of the kitchen.


    While having the meal, ine took a small bite of the sparerib and asked tentatively, “Ste, may I ask


    you a question?”


    Ste nodded her head, “Say it.”


    “Don’t you… Don’t you like my uncle?”


    Although ine sometimes looked dull and silly and she never thought over those things, she was


    somehow sensitive. Aftering back, she pondered it when lying on the bed, From Ste’s reaction


    and her attitude towards other people in usual time, she could vaguely see that Ste didn’t like


    Caesar.


    Ste replied, “It isn’t that I don’t like him. It’s just that we’re not familiar with each other and it was the


    first time that we met. But you’re right. I don’t have any good impression of the members of the James


    family.”


    ine immediately became upset, “What?”


    Ste chuckled, “You’re not included. If I don’t like you, why did I cook for you?”


    ine thought it usible and then lowered her head to eat the sparerib again.


    When ine almost finished the meal, Ste called her name, “ine.”


    ine looked up at her, “What’s the matter?”


    “Do you have a deep impression of your uncle?”


    “Hmm… I almost forget his appearance and there’s no photo of him at home. I just have a vague


    impression of him.”


    “Then how did you recognize him today?”


    ine replied, “It was him who recognized me first. If it wasn’t that he told me about the condition of my


    family and mentioned about my dad and grand-grandfather, I would think he’s a swindler.”


    ine sighed emotionally, “I haven’t told my father about this. If he knows about this, he will be very


    happy.”


    Ste stood up and cleaned the dishes, “I will help you apply medicer. Have a good sleep


    tonight.”


    Seeing this, ine hurriedly snatched the te from her, “Ste, leave this to me. You treated me a


    meal and I should help you.”


    Ste didn’t refuse it. She walked to the living room and took out a medical kit from the drawer of the


    tea table.


    There came some ttering sound from the kitchen, but Ste, who had gotten ustomed to it, didn’t


    change her expression.


    At night…


    Lying on the bed and listening to the sound of the rain outside, Ste took out her phone and took a


    nce at the time.


    It was already 1 o’clock. Would rencee back tonight?


    Ste pondered for a while and decided to dial him.


    The call was only answered when the ringtone was going toe to an end.


    But it was Nathan who answered the call.


    Nathan said, “Ms. Radomil, Mr. Conrad is at a meeting with several managers of our subsidiaries.”


    Ste paused when she heard the words and asked with confusion, “It’s not the end of the year. Why


    does he have a meeting with them?”


    Although the managers of the subsidiaries would go to the Conrad Group to report their work at set


    intervals, they would only have a meeting for an annual report.


    It was now July. Why was the meeting advanced for several months?


    Nathan replied after a while of silence, “Mr. Radomil, Mr. Conrad…”


    Ste asked nervously, “What’s wrong with him?”


    Before Nathan could answer the question, there came some noises from the other end of the phone.


    Several secondster, there came rence’s calm voice, “I’m fine. It’ste, why don’t you sleep.”


    “It’s raining outside. And I want to ask you will youe back tonight?”


    “I’m still having the meeting. I don’t know when it will be over. I guess I won’te back tonight. You


    can go to bed.” rence said in a low voice, “Good night.”
