Chapter 368


    In the next few days, Charles didn’t mention the equity transfer in front of Ste again. It seemed like


    he wanted to defuse this matter.


    Ste was busy with thepetition. After all, she had been waiting for it for a long time, so she didn’t


    mind waiting for it for several more days.


    When the semi-finalpetition came, allpetitors gathered in the venue and handed in their


    entries.


    Unlikestpetition which arranged many obstacles, this time, the staff was waiting for the


    competitors in the venue and registered their entries one by one.


    “Thanks for your hard work over the past ten days. The result of thepetition will be released three


    dayster, please make preparations for the finalpetition.”


    The organized had told thepetitors before that when the result of the semi-finalpetition was


    released, the three designers who reached the finalpetition would immediately have apetition.


    When they finished their work, the judges would immediately evaluate their work and gave a grade.


    Therefore, they couldn’t have a good rest in the next three days. Instead, they would be highly stung


    up.


    Ste walked to the exit after submitting her entry and Charlotte immediately walked over, “Ms.


    Radomil, originally I wanted to treat you a meal. But it seems like we don’t have the mood to enjoy it


    under such circumstance. Let’s have a meal when thepetitionpletelyes to an end. I have


    to thank you this time, otherwise, I will as upset as them now.”


    Ste looked over and found that the three persons were enshrouded in sadness. Apparently, they


    were not satisfied with their entries and it was hopeless for them to be selected as the top three


    designers.


    “You’re wee. It’s what I should do.”


    Charlotte’s ability was indisputable. Other designers must have discussed on thepetition in private


    before, but it seemed like their discussions didn’t lead to an agreeable result.


    Charlotte said, “Then I will leave first. Let’s meet in the finalpetition.”


    After Charlotte’s leaving, Ste heard Modesty’s voice after taking several steps. Modesty said


    impatiently, “I’ve told you that I wille back to visit him when I’m free. Isn’t that okay? Don’t you


    know how important thispetition is to me?”


    The person opposite to Modesty moved his lips. But Modesty continued before he could speak, “The


    finalpetition will be held several dayster. Can you note here to bother me?”


    The man said after several seconds of silence, “I wish you a great sess.”


    He turned around after finishing the words, yet his eyes met with Ste’s in the air at the next moment.


    Modesty also looked over. She then furrowed her brows and took a step backwards to distance herself


    from the man.


    Adolph turned around to take nce and seemed to sense her purpose. He lowered his hat and left


    quickly.


    With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Modesty said impolitely, “Don’t you know it’s impolite to


    overhear other people’s conversation?”


    Ste replied in a calm voice, “I just know that this ce is public and I don’t have the obligation to


    make room for you.”


    Modesty chuckled disdainfully, “You sound socent. Are you quite satisfied with your work?”


    “You look so nervous. Are you dissatisfied with your work?”


    Modesty didn’t expect that Ste would satirize her and her expression became colder.


    Ste didn’t want to talk to her anymore. She turned around and prepared to leave.


    Modesty shouted behind her, “Are you so confident that you will be the champion of the final


    competition?”


    Ste paused, “When did I say this?”


    “Don’t you mean so?”


    “I never have such an idea. Wepete based on our abilities, thank you.” Ste looked towards her


    and said in a t tone, “If you have the time to worry about me here, I suggest you to visit your father.”


    Modesty’s face was distorted when she heard the words, “It’s none of your business!”


    Ste twitched her mouth corner. She didn’t talk to her again and directly left.


    She didn’t want to involve in her matter either.


    When she came back to her studio, Sherry walked over with a weird expression. It seemed like she


    wanted to tell her something.


    Ste asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”


    Sherry replied in a low voice, “Channing is here.”From N?velDrama.Org.


    Ste was a bit stunned. Originally she wanted to ask Sherry why Channing woulde here on


    weekdays, but when seeing Sherry’s weird expression, she realized that there must be a problem. “I


    see.” Ste said.


    She then walked towards the office.


    Channing was sitting in the office with his back to the door, so Ste couldn’t see his expression.


    Ste closed the door and asked, “Chan, why are you here? Don’t you have sses today?”


    Channing slowly looked up at her and pressed his lips together into a straight line. He took out a photo


    from his bag and handed it to Ste.


    Ste looked down at the photo and found it was of her and Charles.


    ording to the background of the photo, Ste guessed it was photographed by someone in the


    bidding.


    Ste seated herself and asked in a gentle voice, “Chan, I didn’t mean to hide this from you. It’s just


    that it’s soplicated that I don’t know how to tell you about this.”


    Channing said, “So he’s your biological father, right?”


    Ste moved her lips yet didn’t exin it in the end. She agreed to it tacitly.


    It was not the right time to tell Channing about other matters.


    After a while, Channing asked, “Did Jeffreye to find you recently?”


    Ste shook her head, “Nope.”


    “Got it.”


    After finishing the words, Channing stood up and left.


    Ste stopped him, “Chan…”


    With his back to her, Channing said emotionlessly, “I’m fine. I’m just here to confirm one thing. I have


    some sses tonight and I have to go.”


    Ste followed him out of the office. But Channing walked so quickly that he disappeared in her vision


    soon.


    Sherry walked over, “What’s wrong? Channing’s expression was gloomy when he came here.”


    “I guess he must have learned about my rtionship with the Steward family.”


    Sherry scratched her hair, “Probably it doesn’t matter, right? Maybe he will be happy for you because of


    this?”


    Ste shook her head, “That’s not the case.”


    Aftering back to her office, Ste made a phone call to Winnie and asked, “Is Channing doing well


    in the filming crew recently?”


    “Oh, hepleted shooting several days ago. What’s the matter”


    “Nothing. Originally I want to…” Ste heaved a sigh in her heart, “Never mind. Go on with your


    business.”


    At the other end of the phone, Winnie also felt strange after the call. She put her phone into her bag


    and asked a staff aside, “Have Channinge here in these days?”


    “I don’t know either. But I saw him at the gate of the school this noon. By the way, is his family so rich?”


    Winnie was confused, “What do you mean?”


    The staff replied, “I saw a mane to find Channing this noon. He drove a luxurious car and wore a


    business suit. I could tell that he’s from the upper ten with one nce. Although I saw them from afar, I


    could see that they looked somehow simr. So I guess that the man is probably Channing’s father.”


    Winnie had also heard about Ste’s father. Apparently, the man that the staff mentioned was not their


    father.


    Winnie tidied up her things while saying, “Please ask for a leave for me to the director. I have to go


    now.”


    “We have a party tonight. Where are you going?”


    “I have to deal with something. I will treat you guys next time. Enjoy your time tonight.”
