Chapter 188
Conrad got out of the car first and opened the door for her.
Moira did not unbuckle her seatbelt. She raised her head and asked him, “Why did you bring me here?”
This was not the first time she had come to Sunridge. Previously, Austin would sometimes meet clients here for work or hang out with Charlie and others, and she would come to pick them up.
Most of the people who came here to have fun were rich men.
To be honest, she didn’t really like this place
Conrad stood by the car, one hand resting lazily on the door handle. T’m taking you to meet some people.”
Moira’s face was tense. “Who?”
Conrad glanced down at her delicate face, noticing her obvious reluctance. I’ve thought over what you asked. I have an answer, and we’ll discuss it upstairs.
Moira assumed he had agreed to the divorce. Few people knew when they got their marriage certificate, so she couldn’t understand who he would bring her to meet now. Maybe he arranged for someone from the Civil Affairs Bureau to come.
Even though it was a weekend and the civil affairs office was closed, Conrad was Eldoria’s richest man. Wealthy people always had more ways to get things done
Thanking this, Moira felt a slight reef, though a twinge of unease lingered.
“Okay” She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
Conrad tossed the car keys to the valer and led her upstairs.
In the private room, Jeff laid down his final card with a triumphant shout, “Pay up, pay upƐ
Alex threw his cards down, pulled out his phone to send the money, then put it away and lit a cig
a cigarelle.
He took a drag of his cigarette and said lazily, “I heard Mr. Morton caused quite a stir on Friday, angering a lot of people over a woman”
Jeff, shuffling the cards, perked up. “You heard about that too!”
Alex, smoking casually, glanced at the person next to him. “Howard, weren’t you there that day? Did you see Conrad’s girl?”
dly. “If you’re so curious, why don’t you ask him to show her to you? Why ask me?”
Howard took a cigarette from his pack and lit it, replying coldly,
Alex and Jeff both sensed the tension in his words and had an inkling of what was going on. Jeff was about to change the topic.
Just then, the door to the private room suddenly opened from the outside. The handsome and distinguished man standing at the entrance Was
none other than Conrad.
With a cigarette in his mouth, Alex narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Hey, isn’t this Mr. Morton? What brings you here today”
Conrad ignored his teasing and walked in first. After taking a few steps, he stopped and realized that Moira was still standing at the door.
He held out his hand to her. “Come in”
Only then did they realize that Conrad did not come alone today. He had brought a woman.
Howard’s face remained impassive, though his eyes showed a hint of coldness.
On the other hand, Alex and Jeff were a little surprised.
Alex looked Moira up and down. “Where did you find such a gem!”
Jeff chimed in. “She’s really something”
Hearing their comments. Moira felt displeased and wanted to leave, but then Conrad spoke firmly, “This is Moira. She’s my wife.
Moira was stunned, staring at him in confusion.

The three men inside were equally shocked. Howard was the first to react, standing up angrily. “Conrad, what the hell are you talking about!”
