Chapter 268: Jealousy
She is so charming. Daniel''s eyes gradually grow deeper and darker. When she passes by him, he
smells the faint fragrance of her perfume making him inexplicably upset.
Why does she look so happy to dance with other man?
Justin is well-disciplined. He just ces his fist slightly on Ste''s waist and nces at Daniel. He
smiles and says, "You epted my invitation so quickly that I thought you had a thing for me."
"If you have no girlfriend, I don''t mind being your girlfriend." Ste replies with a smile.
Justin shakes his head and says implicitly, "Any girl can be my girlfriend. But you can''t. I''m afraid that
I''ll be beaten to death if I make you my girlfriend."
"That''s exaggerated."
"It''s not an exaggeration." Justin says seriously, "Anyway, I should call you President Ste now.
Congrattions to President Ste for being the CEO of Long Peace Group."
Ste lifts her lips and smiles, "You helped me a lot. I''ll treat you to dinner."
"You are so nice."
"We will be a family sooner orter. I must be nice to you." Ste says, "By the way, the Long
Peace Group and yourpany have a lot of projects to work on, so I need to get on well with you."
"The legal person is me. But thepany is not mine. You''ve thought highly of me." Justin smiles and
shakes his head, "I''m only in charge of the drug research. I do not know much about business. The
Ste is surprised.
She hasn''t expected this. She used to mistake Justin as a businessman.
Seeing that Daniel''s face is getting darker, Justin deliberately approaches Ste and asks with a smile,
"President Ste, can I tell you a story?"
"Sure. Go ahead."
Justin says, "I have a friend from a distinguished family. His father is a famous officer. His father has
been very strict with him since he was young. He also joined the army. Later, he met a girl and had a
crush on that girl."
Ste''s breathing bes a little heavier, "Then?"
"It would take too long to stay in the army. So, he wanted to retire from the army and get married. He
even had prepared the wedding rings. But his father scolded him after knowing that because he was
about to be promoted at that time. Of course, his father would not agree on his decision to retire from
the army."
"They had a quarrel. His father couldn''t convince him and made apromise. His father told him that
as long as he was promoted and stayed in the army for three more years, he would be allowed to
marry that girl. Unfortunately, his mother learned the news."
Justin can feel that Ste is gripping his shoulder tightly.
He pauses for a moment before continuing, "His mother believed that that girl''s family background was
not good enough and wasn''t well-matched to their family, so she went to the girl and persuaded her to
leave her son. The girl epted 10 million yuan from his mother and wrote to him for breakup. It was a
heavy blow for him when he learned that she gave in to money. So, he resolutely discharged from the
army and went abroad."
"She lied to me." Ste''s expression turns gloomy. She seems angry. "I wrote a letter to Daniel, but it
wasn''t for breakup. She actually switched my letter."
When she reunited with Daniel in the hospital before, she thought that Daniel had hatred for her
because of her self-assertion.
It turns out that the switched letter causes Daniel to mistake her and feel that she is heartless.
"So, the letter was swapped." Justin takes a tumble.
No wonder when he heard Daniel''s story before, he felt something was wrong. It turns out that

someone yed tricks at that time.
Justin smiles and says, "President Ste, did I say that the protagonist is Daniel? Why are you so
angry?"
"Thank you, you are so thoughtful." Ste says, "If you hadn''t told me the story, I would never find out
the truth. I have things to deal with now, so I gotta go."
She turns around and wants to get off the stage.
But she is in a hurry, and her skirt is too long. She steps on it by ident. As a result, she falls down.
Just as Justin reaches out to pull her back, Daniel has already got her.
Daniel firmly holds Ste''s waist and puts her down. At the same time, he quietly pats away Justin''s
hand with cold eyes.
Justin shrugs.
He doesn''t do anything to her. Why is Daniel so jealous?
Ste looks still in shock. It takes her a while to regain her senses. She looks at Daniel''s cold face and
kisses him on the cheek.
"Thank you. I need to handle something now."
She quickly gets out of his embrace and leaves the private room with her high heels while Daniel is still
staying put.
Her kiss is soft, her fragrance still lingering on his cheek.
Why does she express her gratitude by kissing him?
If Justin helps her, would she thank him this way? Daniel wonders.
Then, Daniel''s expression bes gloomier and gloomier.
"Daniel, President Ste has already left. Why are you still standing there?" Justin crouches down on
the edge of the stage and teases Daniel with a smile.
Daniel turns to look at him, his sharp eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
Justin gets nervous and wants to say something, but Daniel says coldly, "There''s no enough fund for
the research and development of JH Technology. Your research institute won''t get 100 million yuan."
"Daniel..."
"I''ll give you one million in my own name as donation."
"..."
Damn! That means their institute lost 99 million yuan!
Wearing her high heels, Ste walks through the crowd like a queen, elegant and beautiful.
She goes to the door and asks the receptionist, "Has Mrs. Lou arrived?"
"Not yet."
At this moment, ady dressed in a purple cheongsames into the banquet hall. She looks elegant
and graceful.
Ste''s eyes darken immediately, but she wees her with a smile.
"Mrs. Lou, how do you do?"
"Oh, Ms. Ste." Mrs. Lou smiles gently but looks at Ste arrogantly. "I''m surprised that an illegitimate
daughter like you would be able to reach this position."
"Thanks for your ''praise''." Ste says calmly, "I''ll lead you in."
Mrs. Lou nods.
After entering the banquet hall, Ste gives a ss of champagne to Mrs. Lou.
Mrs. Lou sees many acquaintances in the crowd and is surprised that Ste''s connections are so
extensive. After taking over the Long Peace Group, Ste has even managed to win over these
entrepreneurs.
But--
Mrs. Lou takes a sip of champagne and says mildly, "Ms. Ste is very capable, but I am conservative.
I believe that even if one gains wealth and fame, her birth can''t be changed."
"Even if you are the boss of Long Peace Group now, you are still an illegitimate daughter." She squints
at Ste with arrogance. "You''re forever humble because of your humble origin. No matter what
position you take, you do not match my son."
Ste firmly holds her wine ss, without showing any dissatisfaction. She is still smiling and says,
"Mrs. Lou, you''re right. The Lou family is a distinguished family. I shouldn''t taint it."
Pausing for a moment, she says, "What if your son draws a line between him and the Lou family?"
Mrs. Lou''s face immediately gets dark. "My son wouldn''t do that."
"I know him more than you do." Ste approaches Mrs. Lou and says coldly, "Mrs. Lou, you are so
vicious. I promised you to take the money and leave. But you secretly asked someone to intercept my
letter and switched the letter to make us hate each other for so many years."
Hearing her words, Mrs. Lou is only slightly surprised. She quickly says casually, "I switched it, so
what? Now that you took my money, you shouldn''t write to my son!"
