Chapter 642


    Ste put her phone back. Looking at the rain outside, she felt sleepless.


    She always felt that rence was quite weird recently. It seemed like he was upset. But she thought


    maybe it was because he had too much work to deal with that he was so tired.


    However, judging from Nathan’s tone of voice, it seemed like this was much more serious than she had


    imagined.


    Ste heaved a long sigh andy down on the bed.


    At seven o’clock the next morning, Ste prepared breakfast after getting up and put it into an


    instion bottle before leaving.


    It was still drizzling outside and it was misty. There were also many puddles on the road.


    Luckily, it was still early. As it was raining, there were few people on the road. It seemed like the whole


    city was still sleeping.


    When Ste arrived at the Conrad Group, it was almost eight o’clock.


    The employees hadn’te to work and there were only two security guards at the door. There were


    few people in the hall.


    When Ste walked out of the lift, she found there were several people in the assistants’ office.


    Ste recalled what Nathan saidst night and walked over.


    The several assistants greeted her simultaneously when seeing her, “Ms. Radomil.”


    Ste slightly nodded her head and looked around, “Where’s Nathan?”


    “Nathan left half an hour ago. Ms. Radomil, if you have any problems, you can tell us.”


    Ste chuckled, “Don’t bother. Is rence here?”


    “Mr. Conrad is in his office.”


    “Okay, thank you.”


    After leaving the assistants’ office, Ste directly walked to the CEO’s office.


    Ste knocked at the door and then gently and slightly opened the door.


    Through the gap, Ste found rence was dealing with some documents. His features appeared to


    be indifferent and she couldn’t read any expression from his face.


    It seemed like he didn’t sleepst night.


    Ste walked into the office, “Have you had breakfast?”


    rence looked up when hearing her voice and slightly raised his brows, “Oh, you woke up so early.”


    “Didn’t you say that I can’t sleep without you by my side?”


    rence curled his thin lips into a light smile when he heard the words. He stood up and walked


    towards her, “That’s true.”


    Ste opened the instion bottle,dled out the chicken porridge and put it in front of rence, “Hurry


    up to eat it.”


    rence sat down on the sofa, grabbed Ste’s hand and pulled her into his arms, “I want to eat it


    later. It’s hot.”


    “It has been cooled down before I put it into the instion bottle. It’s warm.”


    rence remained silent and just hugged her,


    After a short while, Ste asked, “Did Maxwell tell you what happened yesterday?”


    “What?” rence exined, “I had had a meeting for the whole yesterday and I required them to deal


    with the insignificant matters themselves.”


    “Not a big deal. It’s just that… When ine delivered the goods to a customer, she encountered a


    small ident. Then she was sent back by her uncle.”


    “Uncle?”


    Ste nodded her head, “I’ve asked Archer. He told me that ine’s uncle had been in a rtionship


    with a woman for many years, but the members of the James family had been objecting to the


    marriage. However, they broke up when they were about to agree to it.”


    rence put his chin on Ste’s shoulder and said ndly, “Then?”


    “Then… Short after that, that woman had a car ident. The James family told the public that Caesar,


    ine’s uncle, also died in the car ident. But the fact is that he left Riverside alone.”


    Ste continued, “Archer told me that there were some rumours in the James family. But these rumours


    were not usible. As for the details of this matter, only the several people involved are clear of them. I


    think now that Bancroft, who has died, and Hilbert, all suppressed the spreading of this news, it would


    have a great impact on the whole James family.”


    rence’s mother left the James family even though she had to be removed from the family tree and


    then left Riverside. This was serious.


    But Ste thought Caesar’s matter was more serious.


    rence asked, “Have you met him?”


    “Yes. We met when he sent ine back yesterday.” Ste recalled it, “How to say it… Although his


    appearance is not that stunning, his temperament is quite outstanding. He will still stand out even if


    he’s among a group of people. He’s not a person that others would neglect.”


    Ste then added, “Moreover, I guess hees for you.”


    “Oh?”


    “He told me that he was curious as some things happened in Riverside recently, so he came to City N


    to have a look.”


    “Did he say anything else?”


    Ste replied, “Nope. Maybe he perceived that I don’t like him, so he left after a small talk.”


    rence nodded and said, “I will let Nathan investigate himter.”


    Ste recalled something when mentioning Nathan. She tried to say something but swallowed the


    words she wanted to say in the end.


    Never mind. Maybe rence didn’t want her to know about it.


    Even if she asked about it, he wouldn’t tell her.


    Seeing that Ste was silent, rence asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Ste pulled herself together, “Nothing. I just feel that many matters had happened recently and there


    was no stop. Moreover….”


    Ste always thought that they were led by an invisible string and there seemed to be no end.


    rence rubbed her head andforted her, “Don’t think too much. Everything wille to an end


    soon.”


    Ste pressed her lips into a straight line, remaining silent.


    She broke the silence after a short while, “Well. It’ste and I have to go to my studio. Eat the


    porridge.”


    rence said, “I will ask a man to send you.”


    “Don’t bother. I drove here.” Ste stood up from his embrace, picked up her bad and reminded him


    again, “Eat the porridge.”


    rence smiled, “Okay.”


    Short after Ste’s leaving, an assistant sent some documents into the office.


    rence asked, “Has Nathane back?”


    “Not yet. Mr. Conrad, do you have any problems.”


    rence paused for several seconds, then he ordered ndly, “I want you to find a person.”


    …


    It was during the rush hour in the morning when Ste drove to her studio and the road was crowded.


    Ste slowly drove along with the traffic flow, gradually became impatient.

    Right at this moment, her phone that was put aside rang.


    Ste pressed a button of the car to answer the call. Then there came a woman’s voice, “Hello, this is a


    children’s educational institution. Does your child need any…”


    “No thanks.”


    Ste directly ended the call.


    But as her attention was distracted, she didn’t notice the red light. Plus that it was raining, the road was


    wet and slippery. Even she stepped on the brake, her car still real-ended the car in front of hers


    because of inertia.


    Ste stopped the car and hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.


    The driver of the car Ste real-ended got out of the car and criticized her in a bad mood, “Can you


    drive? Didn’t you see it was red light? Why did you start the car? You’re wasting my time.”


    Ste apologized to her, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I will be fully responsible for it. What would you like to


    deal with it? To im for insurance or would you like me topensate for you?”


    “My car is very expensive. Can you afford thepensation?”


    Just as the driver finished the words, the door to the backseat was opened. A man who was holding an


    umbre walked to them and checked the condition of the car, “It’s not that serious. It just peeled some


    paint.”


    He was surprised when he saw Ste, “Ms. Radomil?”
