Chapter 726
An hour later, Silas came to tell them that the ranch had prepared lunch for them. Fia rejected their offer because
she wanted to make lunch for Conrad at home.
Conrad worried that she would get too tired after visiting so many places today. He hugged her and whispered in
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
the ranch to prepare something else.”
Fia nodded. “Those sound great. Let’s go!”
Silas led them to the restaurant attached to the ranch. They had already arranged for a private booth for their CEO.

around Fia’s waist and turned to kick the person behind.
Victor, who was trying to assault them, was kicked right in the stomach. He rubbed his stomach and glared at his
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.
“Do you have any idea how much effort I had spent to get that hotel? Yet, you and Tyler worked together to rob it
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
doing! I even apologized! Yet, you still hold a grudge!”
Conrad looked at his cousin coldly, not saying a word. It was a waste of time trying to talk to him.
“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.
Silas, seeing this, ordered the waiters to serve the meals. After all the food was served, they left and closed the
door, giving the couple a personal space in the booth.
–Conrad put some food on Fia’s plate, appearing to be unaffected by the scene that Victor made earlier. Fia said,
“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.”
Fla was stunned hearing this. Indeed, she did feel a little upset after learning about this. She knew Conrad never got

Victor, however, tended to act radically. If he did not understand why Conrad did what he did, Victor might’hold a
dreadful grudge.
“Sometimes, it might be best to explain the whole story to him.”
“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
ranch. Along the way, they happened upon an archery range. Fla stopped and watched a group of young people
shooting arrows.
After watching them for a while, Fia mumbled, “Why are they having so much fun when they’re so bad at it?”
