Chapter 274: No Need to Hide Anything
Ste walks out of the bedroom with the check, closing the door behind.
When she opens the door, she sees Brianna with a long face full of anger.
“Sure enough, it’s you!” Brianna’s face bes longer as soon as she sees Ste. “Ste Scott, out of
so many men, why are you pestering my son?”
Ste slightly smiles. “Am I pestering him? I don’t think so.”
Brianna’s face darkens. Pushing her away, she walks in. When she wants to enter the bedroom, Ste
stops her. “Mrs. Lou, you are here to see me. Don’t wake up my boyfriend.”
Brianna sneers. “I know Daniel is in there. Don’t fool me. Get off my way!”
“Did the receptionist tell you Daniel is here?” Ste asks.
“He didn’t go homest night.”
“Probably he went out for a drink with his friends.” With a smile, Ste leans against the bedroom door.
“Mrs. Lou, if you want to break in, I’ll call the police.”
“By the way, your husband is not in Yorkshire. If you’re under arrest for trespassing and taken to the
police station, wouldn’t you worry about your dignity in front of those richdies?”
Brianna squeezes her purse tightly. She’s so pissed off. “You’ve polished your speaking skills a lot.”
“It’s been four years. Everyone should have changed. How can I remain the same?” Ste keeps
smiling. “But Mrs. Lou, you are still the same in my mind.”
“Ste Scott, I’m not mincing any words with you.” Looking at the tightly closed bedroom door, Brianna
says, “I know Daniel is in there. Or you wouldn’t be so obstructed.”
She takes two steps towards, staring at Ste in a still-disdainful and scornful way. “What if you had
sex with my son? It’s still your loss. You trampled on your own body and dignity.”
Ste doesn’t show any weakness. She looks into Brianna’s eyes and said with augh, “Mrs. Lou, for
two people in love, making love is a beautiful thing. If you meant what you said, are you cursing
yourself?”
“You --” Brianna raises her hand and wants to p Ste across her face.
Of course, Ste won’t stand still and let her p. She grabs Brianna’s wrist tightly and shakes it off.
For the suddenly strength, Brianna has lost bnce, staggering backward. The fury surges on her face.
“Mrs. Lou, if you try again, you’ll get hurt.” Ste takes out the written check from her pocket and hands
it over with a smile. “Four years ago, you gave me ten million. Now I’m returning you a hundred million.”
Brianna snorts with disdain. “Do you think you are really something by taking down Long Peace
Group?”
Raising her bows slightly, Ste answers, “Of course. I can give out a hundred million casually. Also, I
can buy something that you are interested in.”
Hearing that, Brianna wishes that she can tear Ste alive.
“Ease. I’m not interested in those jewels.” Ste puts the check into Brianna’s arms. She chuckles.
“This is the special return to you. Without your ten million, I wouldn’t be here right now. But for the
matter that you’ve changed my letters, I’ll get even with you in the future.”
When they’re at daggers drawn, Ste’s assistantes in with two shopping bags.
“Good morning, Ms. Ste.”
Brianna knows clearly that she can’t win against Ste. Dragging the check and tossing it into her
purse, she sneers, “All right. If you don’t let go of my son, you can’t me me for being ruthless!”
Grabbing her purse, she leaves arrogantly.
After she’s gone, the assistant takes the bags to Ste and asks carefully, “Mrs. Lou looks like a tough
nut to crack. Ms. Ste, did she bully you?”
Ste smiles slightly. “Do you think I’m a pushover?”
The assistant shakes her ahead. Handing over both shopping bags to her, she says, “Those are the
clothes. Ms. Ste, wasn’t Augustine who came upstairs with you? Howe...”
“So you were watching carefullyst night. Why didn’t you send our men to follow me for protection just
in case then?”
“Because Mr. Daniel hase.”
At the moment, the bedroom door is pulled open from the inside suddenly. Losing bnce, Ste falls
into the arms of the man behind the door. She’s pulled away in two seconds.
“Ms. Ste, I’m going to work now. Bye.” Her assistant slips away as soon as possible.
Seeing the man’s crumpled shirt, Ste takes out a new shirt from the shopping bag. “Change your
clothes.”
“No need.” Daniel waves away her hand, looking indifferent and ruthless.
Ste squints her eyes.
‘Son of bitch. After the one-night-stand, he’s blowing up on me! Do I owe him anything?’ she swears
inwardly.
Daniel bypasses her and walks out. Ste quickly grabs the hemline of his shirt and says with a smile,
“Mr. Daniel, you look pretty satisfied. It seems you haven’t forgotten what happenedst night.”
Daniel’s eyebrows jump. Bearing his urge to lose the temper, he exins, “You were drugged.”
“I was drugged but you could take me to a hospital. It’s immoral you took the advantage of me in such
a situation, isn’t it?” Ste adds, “Besides, as the president of Long Peace Group, how can I have sex
with a man at random?”
“So your point is?”
“Well, Mr. Daniel, it’s good that you still admit what you’ve done after waking up.” The woman’s lips curl
into a bright smile. “From now on you owe me a big favor. Be nice to me in future.”
“OK. I owe you a favor.” Daniel nces at the shirt hemline grabbed by her. “Let go.”
“Mr. Daniel, where is your good manner?”
Daniel is almost running out of patient. He wonders if he’s lost his mind to stay herest night.
“Ms. Ste, please let go of me.”
Ste hands him the new shirt. “Change it. Your shirt is crumpled and smelly. Aren’t you shameful when
others wonder what you’ve donest night if you keep it on?”
Daniel doesn’t say anything.
He takes the shirt and trousers to the bathroom with a long face. Ste’s lips curl up.
‘No need to hide it. I’ve seen everything before,’ she thought to herself.
Ste puts on her clothes in the bedroom. She has vaguely heard some cries from the bathroom. It
passes in an instant. When she stops and concentrates to listen, nothing is heard. She shrugs, thinking
she may have misheard something.
After Danieles out from the bathroom in the new outfit, his face is still arctic cold, as if the whole
world owes him. Without looking at Ste, he strides to the door.
Grabbing her handbag, Ste follows him. “Mr. Daniel, shall we have breakfast together?”
“No need.”
“We’ve excised for a whole night. Aren’t you exhausted or hungry?”
Daniel doesn’t answer her question.
Half an hourter, a cleaneres in to clean the suite. When she pulls the bathroom door open, she’s
startled by the fat man with a ck-and-blue face covered with blood inside.
…
Louis has left right away after sending Lily home, which makes Lily upset and uneasy for a whole night.
She keeps wondering what she’s said wrong.
She can’t figure it out.
Louis has been calm but he doesn’t reply her WeChat messages.

The more she wonders, the more panicked Lily has be. She thinks perhaps Louis has mistaken
her to deliberately distance herself from him by signing that contract on her own initiative. Hence, in the
early morning next day, she hails a taxi, rushes to the supermarket, and buys a lot of ingredients.
She quietly sneaks into the vi.
It’s very quiet there. Lily guesses that Louis is still in sleep. Rich, lying in his kennel, immediately gets
energetic as soon as he sees her. He runs over with his tail wagging, looking quite excited.
“Shush! Hush!” Lily squats down to touch him. She whispers, “Good dog. Don’t bark.”
Rich really doesn’t bark; instead, it looks at her while wagging his tail.
Lily goes to cook in the kitchen. She tries her best to keep as quiet as possible. She ns to wake up
Louis after the breakfast is done, so she can make him forget what she has saidst night.
When she’s busy cooking, Rich circles around her, biting her slippers from time to time.
