In Steward Group.
Clarence stood up and said after he answered a call, âLetâs go.â
âWhere are we going?â Stella asked.
âItâs late, letâs go to dinner.â
Stella looked at the dark night sky outside and let out a long sigh.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like it was about to drown the whole city.
Every road was jammed because of the rain.
The traffic lights flashing, silhouettes were reflected in the rain, and pedestrians on the road hurriedly trotted ahead.
Stella kept looking out the window and wondering how to tell Sherry about it.
After a while, she turned her head to look at Clarence, âItâs raining so heavily, forget about the dinner, letâs just go home.â
Clarence held her somewhat cold hand, âYou will regret it if you donât go.â
Stella paused before saying, âDid you already know where Daniel is?â
âNot yet.â
âThen...â
âAlthough thereâs no whereabouts of him, we know who is helping Lyndon.â
Obviously, whoever made the move at this time was Lyndon's accomplice after he blackmailed them through Daniel.
Stella pursed her lips lightly and didnât speak anymore, and stared at the countdown to the green light ahead.
She always felt something would happen tonight.
âChoose what you want.â Caesar passed the menu to Elaine in the restaurant.
This restaurant had a lot of Riverside Cityâs specialties, Elaine felt hungry when she saw it. She ordered a few of her favorites and handed over the menu to Caesar, âIâve ordered mine, Uncle Caesar, take a look.â
âThen that's enough.â Caesar smiled and handed the menu to the waiter.
âUncle Caesar, where are you going after you leave City N. Donât you go back to Riverside City?â Elaine asked in a sad voice after the waiter left.
âIâm not going back.â Caesar poured a cup of tea and took a sip.
âWhy, grandpa and dad would be very happy if they knew you were still alive!â Elaine was puzzled.
âElaine, do you know what kind of people can leave Riverside City?â Caesar put down his tea cup and said quietly.
âWhat kind of people?â
âA person who voluntarily removes his name from the family tree and swears that he will have nothing to do with the James family, regardless of life or death.â
âThe aunt I saw in the ancestral hall... Did she leave?â Elaine was a little stunned when she heard it.
âYou should call her grandma according to seniority.â Caesar said.
Elaine curled her lips. She almost forgot that Clarence was also her uncle.
âAnd the people who were driven out of the James family had to leave Riverside City.â Caesar continued.
âWhat does it mean to be driven out of the James family? I...â Elaine didnât quite understand.
âWill I be kicked out too after I sneaked to City N like this? My grandpa shouldnât be so cruel.â She said, rather worried.
âOf course you wonât be kicked out. You are the little princess of this family. And even if they abolish this rule, theyâll still take you back.â Caesar smiled silently.
âReally? But someone said before that I was picked up by my dad, I...â Elaine was a little uncertain and asked tentatively.
Caesar just curled his lips and didn't respond.
At this time, the waiter brought in a glass of juice and put it in front of Elaine.
Elaine was a little thirsty and took a few sips after thanking him.
âBy the way, you havenât said why you won't go back to Riverside City, I can help you if youâre afraid of being scolded by grandpa. Grandpa loves me the most and he will definitely not scold you.â She said.
âYes, he loves you the most, and your dad, he wonât leave you alone.â Caesar looked at her and said slowly.
âThen letâs go back to Riverside City together. I...â Elaine said happily after hearing this.
Elaine felt dizzy in her head before she finished speaking and Caesarâs face gradually blurred in front of her.
âUncle, what...â She murmured.
She fell on the table with a boom.
Caesar pushed the gold framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and the smile on the corners of his lips deepened. He looked out the window.
âMr. James, theyâre already at the door.â At this time, the waiter just opened the door and came in.
âLetâs go, too.â Caesar stood up.
Stella and Clarence saw Caesar approaching as they got off the elevator.
âMr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil, we meet again.â He took the initiative to speak first.
Stella twitched her lips in response.
âWhereâs Elaine?â Clarence calmly said.
âElaine just had dinner with me and she drank a little alcohol, now sheâs asleep, Iâve sent her to rest.â Caesar kept smiling.
âElaine canât drink.â Stella said.
âWell, kids always want to try everything, so she got drunk almost immediately.â Then Caesar said again, âThen I wonât bother Mr. Conrad and Ms.
Radomil for dinner, Iâll leave first. Iâll send her back when Elaine wakes up.â
Caesar walked into the elevator.
A few seconds later, the elevator door reopened just as it was about to close.
âMr. Conrad, can I help you?â Caesar looked at the people outside and wondered.
âMr. James has been in City N for so long, I havenât had a meal with you. Would you give me a chance?â
Caesar probably didnât expect him to say that and paused without speaking.
âWell, I'd better forget it, since clearly Mr. James isn't willing to do it.â Clarence calmly said.
âMr. Conrad, how could it be? Itâs my honor.â Caesar laughed.
Thus, he walked out of the elevator.
âItâs rare that both Mr. Conrad and Ms. Radomil are here, the dinner is on me. As I will leave City N tomorrow, I donât know when weâll meet again.â
Caesar said when they arrived in the private room.
âIs that so?â Clarence said.
âI also thank both of you for taking care of Elaine during this time, which has caused you trouble.â
âWhere did Mr. James take Elaine?â Stella said.
âElaine just fell asleep drunk, Iâll send her back when she wakes up.â Caesar gave her the same reply.
Stella glanced at him, her lips pursed slightly.
It seems that he did come prepared tonight.
At this time, Clarence ordered the food, handed it to the waiter and said to Caesar, âIsnât Mr. James working with Conrad Group? Why do you leave City N so early?â
âSpeaking of which, I feel ashamed. It may be that Iâm not qualified to work with Conrad Group and the current situation isnât ideal. Not even to mention that Iâve been away for too long, so itâs time to go back and have a look.â
âWhy is it not ideal?â Clarence pursued.
âWell...â
âAlthough I had left Conrad Group, I still know a little bit about the current situation of it. I could give you some friendly suggestions since I met you here.â

How come that Clarence Conrad had become so kind all of a sudden?
Clarence added water to Stellaâs cup and raised his eyebrows slightly, âOr is it just an excuse for Mr. James to leave City N?â
