Chapter 116


    “I don’t need you to teach me.” Modesty said in a mocking tone, “You must be verycent, right?


    Although I reced you to be the first prize of the Young Designers'' Contest and studied in Paris for


    three years, I’m still inferior to you. Stop pretending. You must beughing at me in your heart, right?”


    Ste retorted, “You’re really funny. I never have such a thought and never want topete with you.


    It’s you who secretlypared yourself with me. On the one hand, you know that you’re inferior to me


    in strength; on the other hand, you think that you studied in Paris before and I should be inferior to


    you.”


    She continued, “No matter it be the first prize of Young Designers'' Contest, or the opportunity to study


    in Paris, they happened three years ago. It was you who refuse to let go of these and keep using this


    matter to make a trouble.”


    Modesty retorted, “Sounds like you’re a righteous person, but everyone knows that you abandoned this


    opportunity for the sake of money. Do you think that you’re nobler than me? I don’t think my creation is


    inferior to yours. It’s just that I’m not as lucky as you.”


    Ste smiled lightly and chose not to argue with her anymore. She turned around and then left.


    Thanks to Modesty, otherwise, she would never be able to hear others praise her good luck.


    After Ste’s departure, Modesty bit her lower lip while taking a nce at the ne in the waste


    container.


    …


    When Ste walked pass the door, she was stopped by Stanford.


    Stanford said, “Ms. Radomil, what a coincidence, I want to talk with you about something.


    The Jason family organized a charity party to auction jewelry and raised some jewelry from richdies


    for the auction. And all the benefits generation from the auction party would be used in charitable


    activities.


    Naturally, as a first-ss jewelry magazine in the country, SG Jewelry Magazine received an invitation


    to the auction party.


    Stanford discussed it with his boss and decided to take a piece of jewelry that the magazine had been


    collecting for a long time to the party. They also decided to let Ste and Modesty bring their designs to


    the party. In this way, it could only help SG Jewelry Magazine win favorable impression from the public,


    but also help the two designers gain poprity in the jewelry industry of the country so that they would


    get more clients of advanced customization.


    It was just that the charity party would be helped in the next weekend and there was not much time left


    for them.


    Stanford said, “You can take the works you designer before to this auction party, every style is


    weed.”


    Ste nodded her head, “I see.”


    …


    Aftering back home, Ste sat down before the desk and began to modify Phoebe’s design


    drawing. Then she uncontrobly thought of what Stanford told her today.


    Ever since she married rence until she divorced him and joined SG Jewelry Magazine, she had


    never picked up her drawing pens. Therefore, she didn’t design anything in the past three years. As for


    the jewelry she designed three years ago… When she had a look at them now, she felt dissatisfied with


    them.


    Luckily, whenever she had a light bulb moment, she would record it on the notebook.


    Ste leafed through her notebook and found that the most impressive inspiration for her was the one


    recorded on the page that was ripped down before.


    Ste randomly rummaged the things on the desk and idently knocked off a thing.


    She picked it up from the ground and found that it was the pocket watch they found from Jeffrey’s


    leather suitcase.


    Ste opened the pocket watch. Looking at the group photos of them three, she gently rubbed the edge


    of the watch, seeming to be lost in her thoughts.


    After a short while, she suddenly put down the pocket watch and opened her painting and began to


    sketch the drawing.


    When she finished the drawing, Ste stretched her armszily.


    She took a nce at the clock and found it was already eleven o’clock.


    After that thing, Alisa, a maid in the house, never reminded her to have dinner again. She simply put


    the dishes she prepared in the pot and used soft fire to keep it hot.


    Ste then went downstairs to have dinner.


    When she finished the dinner, it was already half past eleven.


    rence hadn’te back.


    Ste hesitated for a while and then sent Nathan a message: [Is rence still working in the


    company?]


    Nathan replied her soon: [Yes.]


    Ste: [Has he eaten?]


    Nathan: [Not yet.]


    Ste thought that no matter why rence beat up Liam before, he vented the anger for Sherry after


    all.


    And she didn’t want to owe him anything.


    Ste stood up and went to the kitchen. She made a sandwich and put it into a thermal lunch box. She


    then went upstairs to take her coat and then left the house.


    In the CEO’s office of Conrad Group…


    Nathan took back his phone from rence and asked, “Mr. Conrad, aren’t you getting off the work?”


    rence replied in a t tone, “I have to deal with several documents. You can go back now.”


    “Okay.”


    When Nathan was about to leave, rence stopped him, “If Stees hereter, tell the security


    guard to green light her.”


    “Okay.”


    It turned out that he was waiting for Ste.


    Nathan thought that even since rence went to Anqiao Street, he was not as aggressive or trenchant


    as how he treated Ste before.


    This was a good start.


    He thought that he would not have to rack his mind to find excuses for Mr. Conrad to alleviate the


    awkwardness in the future.


    Nathan went downstairs and paid a special visit to the security room and told the security guard that


    Mrs. Conrad woulde to thepanyter and they should green light her.

    The security guard nodded his heads.


    But Nathan hadn’t expected that short after his leaving, Vivian Sean came to thepany.


    Although they used many resources to enhance Vivian’s poprity before, they stopped helping her


    because Vivian asked for too many things. She dreamed of being rence’s wife, moreover, she put


    on airs in the cooperation with apany before and even defamed thepany. Later, thepany


    put the recoding on the Inte, which damaged Vivian’s reputation a lot.


    Although Vivian was so angry, she could not do anything to solve it. So she could only have a try and


    come to beg rence, hoping that he would give her the other chance.


    She hadn’t expected that she would enter thepany so easily.


    The security guard on duty today was newly recruited and he had never seen Vivian before. As Nathan


    told him that Mrs. Conrad would visit thepanyter, he thought that Vivian was the one as she was


    so beautiful and delicately dressed.


    Out of his expectation, a woman in loose cloth came here ten minutester. She was more beautiful


    than Vivian.


    He waspletely dumbfounded.


    Which one was the real Mrs. Conrad?


    When Ste stepped into the building, she found that the security guard had taken several nces at


    them. Hesitantly, she asked in a low voice, “Can’t I get in now?”


    She remembered that the Conrad Group had a rule – designers of SG Jewelry Magazine were not


    allowed to enter thepany. But she hadn’t told the security guard that she was a designer form SG


    Jewelry Magazine.


    The security guard was also dumbfounded. He asked gingerly, “Are you Mr. Conrad’s wife?”


    Ste replied, “I’m not.”


    “Then why are you herete in the evening?”


    Ste took a nce at her thermal lunch box. Originally she wanted to tell the security guard that she


    was here to send some dishes to rence. But after a second thought, she replied, “I just pass by


    here.”
