Chapter 122


    The office of SG Jewelry Magazine.


    As soon as the staff who was in charge of delivering the jewelry to the charity banquet was gone,


    Modesty showed up in a corner. She dialed a number, “They’re on the way to there now.”


    A man’s voice was heard on the end of the other line, “Got it.”


    Modesty added, “Remember what I’ve told you. You must deal with it before entering the jewelry


    exhibition hall. Otherwise, it’s easy for them to find you.”


    After a moment of silence, the man on the other end of the line said, “Modesty, are you sure you’re


    going to do it?”


    His questions seemed to have triggered the switch in Modesty’s heart. With an ironic smile, she said,


    “Do you think I want to do it truly? For the designer’s contest three years ago, I put in all my effort, but I


    only got the second prize. I should be the one who’s going to Paris originally, but it turned out that it


    was because she dumped it.”


    As she spoke, she inhaled, “I just want to make the woman who stands in my way disappear. What’s so


    wrong with it? Only she will disappear that my dream and goals coulde true. I don’t want to lead


    the life that everyone disdains me any longer. Mr. Miller, will you help me?”


    “Modesty, once this is found out, please put all me on me. I won’t get you involved.”


    Modesty said, “Mr. Miller, just follow my instructions. You won’t be found.”


    After hanging up the phone, Modesty clenched her fists tightly. Then she turned away.


    This time, she definitely would make Ste get out of the design industrypletely!


    ...


    Cafe.


    Channing poured a ss of milk to Ste. Sitting opposite, he asked, “Why do you have time toe


    over?”


    Ste held the ss and took a sip. Then she answered, “It’s weekend today. I don’t need to work.”


    Channing was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Sherry told me that you’re going to attend a charity


    banquet.”


    Ste was silent for a moment.


    She didn’t expect that Sherry would tell Channing so soon.


    She smiled awkwardly, “Well, some ident happened. I can’t go now.”


    “Is rence Conrad attending it? You don’t want to see him, right?”


    Ste said, “What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with him. I just...”


    She didn’t know how to exin to him. Hurriedly, she wanted to change the subject. She nced at the


    girls who were peeping at their table, “I see so many girls have crushes on you. Don’t you like


    anyone?”


    Channing answered indifferently, “I don’t n to have a girlfriend.”


    “Why not? Your age is just the right one to fall in love with. It’s a pity if you don’t have a girlfriend.”


    “Why didn’t you fall in love with anyone at that time?”


    Ste was rendered speechless.


    This kid poked at her sore spot.


    She didn’t answer him until a long whileter, “I was busy working part-time to get my tuition fee and


    living allowance. Besides... although I didn’t have a boyfriend, I had a crush on a boy. It also felt quite


    good.”


    “Hasn’t he engaged to another woman? You didn’t end up being together. What’s so good about it?”


    Ste shushed, drinking the milk.


    A few minutester, Channing asked, “Do you... want to find that man?”


    Ste didn’t get what he meant, “Who?”


    Channing pressed his lips, “The man on the photos.”


    “Chan...”


    Channing looked away, leaned against the chair, and said in a rxed tone, “You don’t need to worry


    how I would feel. I don’t care at all. Anyway, you’ve said that we have the same mother. As the father, it


    doesn’t matter who he is.”


    Jeffrey was dead anyway.


    Steughed, “Chan, it’s not because of you. It’s just... the world is so huge, and I might not be able to


    find him. Besides, if I’ve found him, what if he has passed away already? Or, probably he has remarried


    and got a new family. What’s the use of finding him?”


    Channing said seriously, “If I were you, I would find him no matter if he has a new family or not. I’d ask


    him why he has dumped us. Even if to stand in front of his tombstone, I must get an answer.”


    Ste lowered her head and didn’t speak.


    She didn’t want to follow up on this matter because she was also afraid.


    She was afraid that the answer she got wouldn’t be the one she expected.


    Seeing that she was silent, Channing continued, “That’s just my thoughts. I want you to know that you


    don’t need to change your mind because of me. I’m not a kid any longer.”


    Ste said with a smile, “I know. I’ll think it over.”


    Channing still wanted to keep chatting with her, but there were way too many customers and the owner


    couldn’t handle them all. Hence, Channing was called over for help.


    He stood up and said, “I’ll go back to my work then.”


    “All right. Go ahead. I’m going home now.”


    After Channing left, Ste finished the milk in her ss. She turned around and found it was already


    dark outside.


    When she was about to leave the cafe, a girl was encouraged by herpanions and walked over.


    She asked tentatively in a low voice, “Excuse me, Missy. Are you Channing’s girlfriend?”


    Ste curled up her lips into a smile, “No, I’m not.”


    “Then you...”


    “I’m his older sister. I’m twenty-five.”


    The girl’s eyes were lit up instantly, “Nice to meet you, Missy. You are so pretty and your skin is so


    good. You don’t look in your twenties at all.”


    Other girls also approached and surrounded Ste, “Oh, Missy, it turns out you are Channing’s older


    sister. You are so good-looking. We thought you were his girlfriend just now.”


    “Missy, your family genes are super. You are gorgeous and Channing is handsome. How I envy you!”


    Ste walked out of the cafe, and her mood got better.


    She wished that she were only a teenager. At least, she didn’t need to be afraid of anything. She could


    do whatever she wanted and dared to restart her life.


    Ste didn’t hail a taxi. She was walking on the street. It would be boring for her to go home anyway.


    Unconsciously, she arrived at the building where the charity banquet was held.


    Her end-products would be in the auction of such a big charity jewelry banquet, which was a rare


    chance and honor for a new designer.

    Since she couldn’t attend it, she believed that it was also not bad for her to feel it downstairs.


    When Ste found a convenience store and sat down, she received a call from Sherry, “Hi, Ste. Have


    you gone to the charity banquet yet?”


    “No, I haven’t.” Ste paused. She sensed that Sherry didn’t sound like asking her a question only. She


    asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “Oh, ha-ha... Nothing. Nothing wrong. I’m just checking on you casually. It’s good that you didn’t go.


    Where are you now? Shall I go to find you?”


    Through the window of the convenience store, Ste looked over at the hotel across the street, “I just


    came back from Chan’s university. I’m downstairs of the hotel. I just want to sit here for a while and


    then go backter.”


    “The hotel? Which hotel? The one where the banquet is held?”


    “Yep.”


    Sherry was speechless. She looked at herptop, on which there were photos sent over by her


    cameraman friend. She got a migraine.


    On the photos, she could see the backs of a woman’s and rence’s attending the banquet, arm-in-


    arm.


    She wanted to correct herments on rence - rence was indeed a wretched man, a yful


    wretched man who had a lot of affairs.
