Chapter 289


    It seemed like she was not as high-spirited and swaggering as before and she didn’t even wear a


    make-up. There was only tiredness on her face.


    Madison walked to Ste. When she prepared to speak, she turned around and looked into Sherry’s


    curious eyes. She snorted, “What are you looking at? Haven’t seen a beauty who doesn’t where any


    make-up?”


    Sherry was rendered speechless.


    She wished so much that she hadn’t seen such a ‘beauty’.


    It seemed like Madison wanted to have a private talk with her. Seeing this, Ste said to Sherry,


    “Sherry, please go in first.”


    Sherry nodded her head and then looked towards Madison, “You’d better not y any tricks.


    Otherwise, I won’t let go of you easily.”


    Unexpectedly, Madison didn’t retort Sherry. She turned around and ignored her.


    When Sherry walked into the studio, Ste broke the silence, “Why do youe to me?”


    Madison asked, “May I treat you a cup of coffee?”


    Seeing that she was so sincere, which was quite different from how she acted before, Ste didn’t


    refuse her again. They found a café near the studio.


    After seating themselves, Madison asked, “You must be very happy when seeing my current


    appearance, right?”


    Ste was amused, “Why should I feel happy? Does it have anything to do with me?”


    Madison continued, “Why didn’t you tell me before that your ex-husband is the CEO of the Conrad


    Group. When seeing me showing off in front of me like a fool, you must be very triumphant, right?”


    “If thinking in this way will cheer you up, please go on.”


    Right at this moment, a waiter came over with two cups of coffee.


    Madison took a sip of the coffee and said slowly, “My husband is now put in jail. I’ve turned to many


    people for help recently, but no one has showed any respect to be. I finally understand the proverb –


    human rtionships are superficial. I will cup the craps. I’m here mainly to express my gratitude to you.


    After all, you will not care about the formality except for my sincere thanks.”


    Ste said in a serious tone, “If you want to thank me, you should not havee today.”


    “You…” Madison wanted to say something, yet she swallowed the words in the end. She snorted,


    “Whether to express my thanks to you, it’s my own business. As for whether to ept it, it depends on


    you.”


    “You don’t need to thank me and I will not ept it either. Based on the condition that day, I would not


    stand aside even the victim were a pig, not to mention it was a human being. I just did a thing that I


    think right. And I don’t need any gratitude.”


    Madison’s expression changed quickly when she heard the words. She was not a fool, so of course


    she knew that Ste was implicating that she was even inferior to a pig.


    She took a deep breath, “There are all I want to say. Don’t expect any other words from me. I will never


    apologize to you.”


    Ste curled her lips into a light smile. She didn’t say anything.


    After Madison’s leaving, Ste came back to her studio.


    Sherry ran to her, “Ste, how’s it? Did she go hard with you?”


    Ste shook her head, “Nope.”


    Sherry continued, “I also don’t think that she’s here to seek troubles for you. Have you found it? She


    looks totally different. In the past, she was like a peacock in her pride. But she looks dejected and low-


    spirited today.


    Ste moved her lips trying to say something, but in the end, she still didn’t tell Sherry that she bumped


    into Madison and helped her before. She patted Sherry’s shoulder, “I will go on with my drawing. Call


    me if there’s any problem.”


    Sherry nodded her head, “Go.”


    Sitting in front of the office desk and looking at the drafts on the desk, Ste found it hard to calm down


    herself.


    Although she knew that Jeffrey just wanted money from her, she felt more fretful since she could only


    wait for him to contact her aimlessly.


    Furthermore…


    Ste recalled Jeffrey’s reaction when she mentioned her mother and their marriagest night. She felt


    very unease.


    She had a hunch that Jeffrey must know some inside stories. Moreover, he must know more than her


    imagination.


    After a short while, Ste stood up.


    Sherry asked when seeing her, “Ste, what’s wrong?”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Ste replied, “I have to go to a ce. Sherry, can you lend me your car?”


    Sherry tossed the car key to her, “Where are you going?”


    “Go to find Adolph Miller.”


    Ste was stunned, “Can you find him?”


    As for the people like Adolph, once they hided themselves, it would be very difficult for others to find


    them. rence’s men also tried to find him before. They took great efforts yet still failed to get a single


    clue.”


    Ste replied after a short while of silence, “I got an idea.”


    Every human being has a soft spot.


    Adolph was not an exception.


    After leaving the studio, Ste directly navigated to a ce.


    The car finally arrived at the destination after about an hourter.


    This ce was surrounded by old residential buildings and there were wastes and sewers everywhere,


    which looked ipatible with the prosperous city. It was like this ce was forgotten when the city


    was developing, so it could only decay alone and even disappeared silently.


    Ste scrolled her phone and found an address. She asked two passengers and then walked in the


    direction they pointed for her.


    She took many detours and finally saw the person she wanted to find at the mouth of an alley.


    It was Modesty’s father.


    When the police was investigating Modesty before, she saw this address on the documents. And when


    she came back from the Anqiao Street before, Sherry told her that Modesty’s father came to find her.


    Ste put her phone into her pocket, walked over and stood in front of the man, “Mister, nice to meet


    you. I’m Ste Radomil and I was once Modesty’s colleague.”


    The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up when he heard the words. He gesticted her, gesturing her


    toe into the house and prepared to pour a ss of water for her.


    Ste was stunned when seeing this. She then curled her lips into a smile and handed the fruit basket


    to him, “Mister, no need. Ie here to ask you some questions.”


    The middle-aged man made some gestures again, but Ste couldn’t understand it. Seeing this, the


    man took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down some words on the paper.


    When seeing the words on the paper, Ste finally realized that he wanted to ask her about the current


    situation of Modesty.


    It seemed like he didn’t know what had happened to modesty. He went to SG to find Modesty before,


    but Modesty cursed at him and forced him to leave. Since then, he didn’te to find her again.


    Ste replied, “I… I’m not clear of her current situation. But I guess she must be living well.”


    Modesty was a designer who studied abroad before. Therefore, even though she was fired by SG, she


    could go to otherpany based on her ability and even design jewelry for customers privately.


    Judging from her characteristics, Ste guessed that she would be living well.


    The middle-aged man heaved a sigh when hearing the words. He then wrote down a line on the paper,


    asking Ste what she wanted to know.


    Ste pressed her lips together. After a long while, she asked, “Mister, do you know where’s


    Adolph?”
