An hour later, Silas came to tell them that the ranch had prepared lunch for them. Fia rejected their offer because

her ear, “We live together now. There’s still a chance for you to cook for me. For now, let’s Just have lunch at the
ranch here, okay?”
Silas agreed, “I couldn’t agree more, Besides, the ranch has new dishes on their menu. I bet they would suit your
taste, Madam!”
“Oh, what are they?” Fia was curious.
“There’s roasted pork, roasted meats on sticks, and spicy squid and prawn! If you want some other food, I can ask

cousin.
“Conrad, you rascal!” Victor barked at Conrad angrily.
Fia knew that Conrad and Tyler were planning to reclaim that hotel in Oceania. She did not know the full story.
However, seeing how furious Victor was at Conrad, she could guess that they succeeded.

from me! Why did you do it? Is it because of that time when danger befell Fia in that hotel? I told you it wasn’t my

“Silas, throw him out of the premises.”
“Yes, sir!” Silas summoned the bodyguards to drag Victor out. Along the way, Victor kept cursing at Conrad,
accusing him of playing dirty, and attracted the attention of other visitors of the ranch.
Fia looked at Conrad and asked, “Why did you not tell him the truth?”
“What truth?” Conrad smiled and escorted her into the booth.

door, giving the couple a personal space in the booth.

“That hotel was controlled by some organization from the underworld. Victor doesn’t know that. If he obtains that
hotel, he would get involved and might get framed for crimes that he didn’t commit.”
Conrad raised his head and asked, “You knew?”
“I passed by the study and overheard a little of your conversation with Tyler.”
“I see.” Conrad lowered his gaze and continued peeling the shell of a prawn.
Fia looked at him and asked cautiously, “Aren’t you angry that I eavesdropped on you?”
“No, I’m not angry.” Conrad put the prawn, with its shell freshly peeled, on her plate and said, “I’m just worried that
it would affect your mood If you learned of this.”

“He’ll understand one day.” Conrad suddenly thought of something. He looked at Fia and asked, “Is Ms. Reid older
than you?”
Fia answered while munching a prawn, “Yes. Just a little older than me.”
“When did she join the entertainment industry?”
“She debuted when she was in her first year in college.”
Suddenly, Conrad’s face became gloomy as he tried to suppress his speculation. Seeing him getting gloomy all a
sudden, Fia asked, “What’s wrong?”
“No, nothing. I’m just trying to learn more about her so that we can work out a career plan for her.”
“Ah, 1 see.”
Conrad felt relieved to see Fia not pressing on further. After finishing their meal, they took a stroll around. the
