Chapter 259
At the studio, those from the consumer association came to ask about the situation and left. It wasn’t
just like what Selina thought of that the shop was closed for inspection.
After those people left, Sherry clicked her tongue, “I didn’t expect that it feels so good to have a
backer.”
The shop assistant at the side didn’t understand what she meant and asked dumbly, “What backer?”
Ste was just happened to walk over and heard their words. She then smiled, “It’s nothing. Don’t listen
to her nonsense.”
The shop assistant knew that this wasn’t her business. And so, she turned around and ran off to do
something else.
Ste stood at the front desk and sorted out Selina’s purchase records at the studio. Apart from Selina,
the other few people whoined on Weibo about the fake products they bought at the studio were
simply trying to stir things up.
With Selina leading the charge, even if they rified that those people weren’t clients of the studio, no
one would believe them, only thinking that they were diverting attention.
Sherry looked at the information, “Luckily I had taken photos tomemorate each piece of finished
jewellery at that time. Otherwise, we would have really fallen into these people’s trap.”
And on top of that, all of the jewellery and essories that Ste sold had regr partners, and they
cooperated with several luxury retailers. So, it was absolutely impossible to fake.
Ste said, “Phoebe should have known that this matter is just a storm in a teacup. Although things had
gone viral, making a scene, the truth will surface sooner orter.”
Sherry wondered, “Then, what for doing all of this?”
Ste smiled, “To teach me a lesson perhaps.”
“What the hell. That’s disgusting.”
Ste said, “Ever since rence broke off the engagement, Phoebe has always thought that
everything was because of me. Plus, I made her look bad at the birthday banquet that day. So, how
could she possibly hold back this anger?”
Sherry shook her head, “No, you’re wrong.”
“Huh?”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier that Phoebe looks hypocritical? She had deliberately approached you before
even getting engaged with rence back then. It was indeed premeditated as thinking about it now.”
After a pause, Sherry rubbed her chin and said solemnly, “But then again, it was right for her to think
that you are the reason why rence and her broke off their engagement.”
Ste was speechless.
As Sherry just said, the man that they just talked of showed up in the studio.
Sherry coughed and found an excuse to slip into the lounge.
Although their shop wasn’t closed for investigation, the studio was still deserted, not a single customer
at this moment. This was all because of the influence of public opinion and other external factors.
rence entered the studio as if he had returned to his own home. He walked to the sofa and sat down
naturally, pressing his brows and saying, “Make me a cup of coffee.”
Ste was speechless.
This wretched man could even say this out, treating this ce as the Conrad Group.
Ste stopped what she was doing and went to the pantry to brew him a cup of instant coffee.
After cing the cup of coffee in front of rence, she said petntly, “Mr. Conrad, you do really make
yourself at home here.”
rence picked up the cup, “You’re really strange for saying that.”
He took a sip of his coffee, with his eyebrow knitted. In the end, he said nothing and just put the cup on
the coffee table.
Ste said, “Mr. Conrad, are you here for something? If not, please go back. I don’t have time to
entertain you either.”
Hearing this, rence nced over the empty surroundings, “Not free?”
Ste gritted her teeth, “Mr. Conrad, get to the point.”
rence crossed his long legs and said slowly, “I told you not to confront Phoebe head-on, but I didn’t
tell you to act like a pushover and let her take advantage of you.”
“Then, what you mean is…”
“After the incident, why didn’t youe to me immediately?”
Ste couldn’t help butugh, “Are you trying to say that if Phoebe provoked me, I don’t start a head-on
confrontation with her, but insteade andin it to you?”
“This is just the rational allocation of effective resources to get the maximum benefit.”
Ste was silent for a moment before saying, “You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll take care of it
myself.”
rence’s face turned cold, “I almost forgot, you still have Emmett. I don’t need to worry so much
then.”
Ste was speechless again.
This wretched man was insane, having such a jumping mind.
He was just talking about Phoebe and suddenly switched to Emmett in the next second.
Ste reminded solemnly, “I think if you have the time to fuss about this, how about you reflect on
yourself that why Phoebe has targeted me.”
“Isn’t this a question that you should reflect on?” rence tapped his knee and said without haste, “You
probably may not know that Phoebe had wanted to marry me three years ago. If you hadn’t had
begged me, she might have been my wife now.”
Ste sneered, “Then in the end, it was me who have ruined your good deed.”
“You’re right too to understand it that way.”
If Ste had a broom in her hand, she would really want to throw him out.
Within a few seconds, Emmett’s voice came from behind, “Ste.”
Ste turned around and smiled at him gently.
rence’s gaze fell on Emmett’s face and narrowed his eyes at him, finding that Emmett’s smile was
harsh.
Emmett’s gaze swept over rence and said faintly, “Mr. Conrad is also here.”

rence said, “It seems that there really isn’t much work at Star Ferry Technology by the end of the
year. You’re quite idle, Mr. Carter.”
“Yeah, but not as good as Mr. Conrad.”
Seeing that things were getting awkward for the two, Ste coughed, “Do you guys want something to
eat? I’ll order some afternoon tea.”
Emmett replied, “Sure.”
rence answered, “Sure.”
The two of them almost sounded simultaneously.
Ste’s eyes twitched, and she quickly fished out her phone.
After ordering, she said, “You guys sit down first. I’m going to the bathroom.”
Ste immediately fled.
Aftering out of the bathroom, she dragged Sherry out with her.
But when they came out, there was already no sign of Emmett in the studio.
Ste looked around, “Where’s Emmett?”
rence slowly sipped his coffee, “Something happened at hispany and so he left.”
Ste frowned at him, “What have you done again?”
rence looked displeased, “What do you mean by that?”
“Wasn’t you the one who tampered with the annual meeting of the Star Ferry Technology before to
make them go to the resort?”
rence pursed his lips and said icily, “Did Emmett tell you this?”
Ste said, “Whether he told me or not, isn’t this the truth?”
