Chapter 386


    Ste stared at her and said word by word, “Without your preparation for this big show beforehand,


    how would there be an opportunity for me to perform myself?”


    Phoebe’s expression changed instantly. Then, she sneered, “Don’t becent too early.”


    “I’m notcent at all. After all, what I’m doing now can’t bepared to what you’ve done.” Ste


    said indifferently, “Actually, I have always wanted to ask you something, but I feel that I’m asking


    knowingly. However, since we’ve alreadye to this point, I’ll just ask you casually, I hope that you


    won’t mind.”


    Phoebe crossed her arms around her chest and looked indifferent, as if she wanted to see what Ste


    would say.


    Ste said, “You are the one who told Annie about my pregnancy, aren’t you?”


    Phoebe responded calmly, “ording to what you’ve said, I guess you are determined that it was me


    who told her. So, no matter what I say, you will take it as me quibbling. However, I’m quite curious


    about one thing. Should we be ashamed about things like getting pregnant? It had been so long, but


    you actuallye and question me about this now.”


    “Pregnancy is indeed not a shameful thing, but sometimes, people are just too dark and sinful inside


    them. Hence, they are afraid to do things under the sun.”


    Ste left this sentence and turned around. She directly entered the room.


    Phoebe took a deep breath, and her expression was as cold as she could be.


    She went back to her room and saw that her phone was vibrating. It was a call from an unfamiliar


    number.


    Phoebe hung up irritably. After a while, the person called again.


    She picked up the call and Modesty’s voice came into her ears, “Ms. Steward, I am Modesty.”


    “What’s up?”


    Modesty said cautiously, “I know you hate Ste too, so I…”


    Phoebe said indifferently, “You know?”


    A sudden question made Modesty paused for a while. After a few seconds, she continued, “Before that


    in SG, although you didn’t say it out, but I could feel it. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not using this to


    threaten you. I have something in hand, and I think that you will be interested about it.”

    “Oh?” Phoebe sat on the sofa, “Maybe you have misunderstood me, I don’t hate Ste a lot. Besides,


    she hasn’t affected any of my interests. Hence, there is no reason for me to hate her. Are you trying to


    hurt her under the guise of me?”


    Modesty bit her lips, “It’s like that, Ms. Steward. I just think that someone like Ste doesn’t deserve all


    of this at all. She doesn’t deserve to be loved by Mr. Conrad, nor does she deserve to live in the


    Steward family’s house, let alone…”


    Phoebe continued her words, “Let alone being worthy to win the designerpetition?”


    Modesty did not answer. It was no doubt that she was acquiescing.


    Phoebe spoke casually, “But the one who won the championship is you, isn’t it? It seems that she really


    doesn’t deserve it and she doesn’t have that strength and ability to win.”


    “I’ll let you listen to a recording, and you’ll understand everything.”


    At the other end of the line, after a subtle noise, there came the conversion between Louis and Ste


    when they were at the hotel.


    After listening to it, Phoebe did not give any reaction.


    Modesty’s voice couldn’t help but get agitated a little, “The special show for the brand of the Fashion


    Week was originally belonged to the champion of thepetition, but Louis deliberately gave her the


    opportunity. Doesn’t you feel unfair?”


    Phoebe said, “It’s apetition, whoever takes it seriously will be the one who loses.”


    Modesty said again, “To let the organizer to make such a decision, I feel that this is because of one


    person.”


    “Who?”


    “The CEO of the Conrad Group.”


    Phoebe said slowly, “Why did you say so?”


    Modesty said, “The Conrad Group was originally the organizer of thispetition, and when they were


    in SG, Mr. Conrad had been giving Ste all kinds of resources and opportunities in the fashion


    industry. I have the reason to suspect that the wholepetition is the joint operation of the Conrad


    Group and the organizer. Hence, who is the champion does not matter at all, Ste is the person they


    want to promote.”


    “That’s the Conrad Group, you’d better not say anything without evidence.”


    At the other end of the line, Modesty gripped the phone tightly, she thought that Phoebe would be


    angry with Ste when she brought Mr. Conrad out. After all, Phoebe was once the fiancée of Mr.


    Conrad. But now, Mr. Conrad was back together with Ste. Modesty did not believe that anyone can


    bear this silently.


    After a few seconds of silence, Modesty added, “The recording I have and the rtionship between


    Ste and Mr. Conrad are the best evidence.”


    Phoebe said, “What can you do even if there is evidence in your hand? You know that it was an under-


    table operation, it is difficult to find reporters to expose them. Moreover, the only mediapany that is


    not afraid of the Conrad Group is the Conrad’s own mediapany.”


    Modesty did not speak for a moment, but she realized a few key words from Phoebe’s words. She


    needed to find a mediapany to expose this, and thepany must not be afraid of rence.


    Modesty frowned. She thought for a few seconds and then she suddenly understood what Phoebe


    meant.


    Mr. Conrad had always been at odds with the Conrad family. If she wanted to expose this matter


    without involving herself, the best way was to give this recording to the Conrad family.


    Without waiting for her to answer, Phoebe said, “Alright, I have told you everything you need to know.


    This matter has nothing to do with me. However, I advise you that it is better to keep this matter to


    yourself. Even without the support of the Conrad Group, do you think that Ste wouldn’t have the


    chance to hold a special show in Fashion Week?”


    Modesty gritted her teeth, if that was the case, she would definitely not be reconciled!


    She said, “Thank you, Ms. Steward, for reminding me this. I know what to do.”


    Hearing the hung-up toneing from the other end of the line, Phoebe put down the phone and


    stared at the screen. Then, the corner of her lips lifted.


    She wanted to see how long Ste could becent.


    Maybe she didn’t have to make a move at all, Ste would have been punished by her own doings.


    On the other side…


    After hanging up the phone, Modesty was at a loss. She didn’t know how to contact the Conrad family’s


    people.


    Moreover, when she exposed that Ste was kept by people from the Conrad family, she was already


    at feud with them.


    Although she was acquitted, Adolph had been watched by them since then, and if she delivered herself


    to their door, she may be questioned by them about the reason of why she did this.


    Modesty thought for a long time. She took the recorder and prepared several copies of the recording.


    She put into a box and went to another ce. She took out a phone number that Adolph gave to her


    before and called a courier to send this to the Conrad family. She wrote on the box that it must be


    opened personally by Dempsey.


    After she finished doing this, Modesty breathed a sigh of relief. She was just about to take a taxi home


    when she received a phone call.


    Soon, Arthur’s dissatisfied voice came from the phone, “I’ve been waiting for you all night, when are


    youing?”


    Modesty frowned in disgust and hung up directly. She cklisted the number.


    After thinking for a while, she called Adolph and her family again, but there was still no one answering


    the call.
