Chapter 994: rify Before Starting
When Ste met Luca''s gaze, her expression instantly turned cold. She asked in a stern voice,
"Where''s Meggie?"
Luca stood up and looked at Ste, speaking softly, "She went out to buy something. She should be
back in a moment. Wait here."
Olivia subconsciously took a couple of steps backward as Luca approached her.
Upon seeing Ste''s reaction, Luca stopped in his tracks. "I won''te over. Just sit here for a while.
She''ll be back soon. Or maybe you can call her?"
As Luca spoke, Ste picked up her phone and dialed Meggie''s number.
Meggie answered quickly, "Ste, are you here? Wait for me at home; I''ll be back in about ten
minutes."
The moment the call connected, Meggie''s voice came through the phone.
Ste replied, "Okay."
As Ste was about to hang up, Meggie''s voice came through again, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Luca
is there too. If you feel ufortable, you can wait downstairs, and we''ll eat outside."
Ste nced at Luca, who was awkwardly standing on the side, and replied, "It''s okay, I''ll wait here."
Meggie confirmed, "Alright, I''ll be back soon."
Luca stood there as Ste ended the call. "Wait here for a while," he said before turning and heading to
the guest room.
Ste watched the door close after Luca entered the room. She then turned around and sat on the
living room sofa.
Meggie said ten minutes, and it was indeed ten minutes. She entered the house without even changing
her shoes. When she saw only Ste sitting in the living room, Meggie couldn''t help but sigh with relief,
"Ste, were you waiting anxiously?"

Ste looked at Meggie and replied softly, "It''s fine. Did you go out?"
Meggie returned to the entrance to change her shoes, "I went out to buy some things. I thought you''d
be having dinner here tonight, so I got some food you like."
After changing her shoes, Meggie brought the things into the kitchen and then came out to sit next to
Ste. When she didn''t see Luca, she asked, "Did Luca leave?"
Ste nodded her chin in the direction of the guest room. "He''s in there."
Meggie nced at Ste''s face and then at Luca''s direction. "In that case, let me go and ask him to eat
out."
Ste reached out and stopped Meggie. She said softly, "Meggie, it''s fine."
While Ste disliked Luca, she didn''t take it to such an extreme. Moreover, this was Meggie''s ce,
and her younger brother was here. She had no right to prevent him from being here.
Hearing Ste''s words, Meggie looked at her face and then sat back down. "Ste, I don''t mean
anything else by asking you those questions earlier. I just think it''s better to know things clearly before
starting."
Ste nodded, "I understand, but I haven''t met this person either. He''s a friend of Brandon''s. Brandon
wouldn''t introduce me to someone unreliable. Let''s see how it goes when we meet; who knows, I might
not feel anything."
Meggie responded, "Sure, let''s see when you meet."
After having dinner at Meggie''s ce and chatting for a while, Ste bid farewell and left.
When she arrived home, the lights were still off. Ste checked the time and decided to call Sandy.
Sandy picked up the call quickly. "Sis, Brandon had too much to drink, and we''re still at Maple House."
Hearing Sandy''s words, Ste stopped in her tracks and asked, "Do you want me toe pick you
up?"
After a moment of silence on Sandy''s side, she said, "No need, Anthony had a bit too much to drink as
well. We got a suite here, and we''ll stay overnight."
Ste said, "What about you? Your situation is different. If anything happens, I cane pick you up."
"It''s alright. Brandon is quite obedient when he''s drunk; he won''t cause trouble," Sandy assured.
Satisfied with Sandy''s response, Ste said, "Alright then. Take care, and call me if anything happens."
"Okay, thanks. Good night," Sandy replied.
After ending the call, Ste put her phone away and continued walking inside.
When she exited the elevator, Ste''s steps suddenly halted as she saw someone squatting by her
door. She furrowed her eyebrows.
