Chapter 392


    When Ste walked out of the washroom after taking a shower and dried her hair, she noticed that her


    phone that was thrown on the bed was vibrating. She immediately got onto the bed and as expected, it


    was a call from rence.


    When she answered the call, the man’s low voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “You


    haven’t gone to bed?”


    Ste replied, “Not yet.”


    She paused and then asked, “I can’t fall asleep.


    It was true. Many things happened tonight and she couldn’t fall asleep.


    rence said, “You miss me so much so you’re sleepless?”


    Ste, “…”


    He was so frivolous!


    Ste asked, “How’s the situation at your side?”


    rence replied in a t tone, “I just finished the meeting of directors. Rest assured. They can’t do


    anything to me.”


    “But this matter is so serious now. The Conrad family…”


    “They were the one who nned this and they were quitecent of it. It was also them who blew


    up this affair.”


    Ste was stunned when she heard the words, “The Conrad family nned this? But shouldn’t it be


    Modesty who recorded it?”


    rence wasn’t surprised when hearing this and said, “I have topliment that she’s somehow smart


    and knows to find a scapegoat.”


    “Do you mean that it was Modesty who made a voice recording, but she was afraid that she might


    offend you? Therefore, she turned to the Conrad family.”


    The outsiders all knew that Dempsey and rence were the father and son on the surface, but they


    were indeed enemies who tried best to plot against each other. Especially Dempsey, he tried to plot


    against rence for several times and they were all in vain. Now he was trying all possible means to


    get something on rence.


    Modesty was smart. She was so bold that she even schemed against Dempsey.


    Ste continued after a short while of silence, “Now that we know who the one behind all these is, what


    should we do to cope with it?”


    “Don’t be so hurried.” rence said slowly, “Wait for two more days.”


    “Okay.


    If she guessed it right, rence wanted to carry out his n by making use of this affair.


    rence asked, “Did Charlese to find you?”


    “Nope.”


    “Just wait. He wille to find you tomorrow morning attest.”


    Ste nodded her head. She also thought that this affair would be more serious tomorrow night after


    tonight’s fermentation.


    If Charles wanted to end this matter before it became more serious and minimize its negative effect, he


    could at most wait until tomorrow morning.


    Ste asked, “Are you still in thepany?”


    rence replied with a nasal sound, “Many affairs are dyed today and I haven’t handled them.”


    “Oh, they will you have to work overnight?”


    “Will youe here to apany me?”


    Ste replied, “Oh, I suddenly be sleepy. Bye.”


    Stey face down on the bed for a while after ending the call and then walked into the washroom to


    dry her hair.


    She took a nce at the clock and found it was already one o’clock in the morning. It was unrealistic


    for her to go out now.


    But… That wretched man had a bad habit- he would always forget to have a meal when he was busy.


    Lying onto the bed, Ste ordered a takeaway for him.


    After that, she recalled that Nathan was his assistant and had many affairs to deal with every day, so


    she ordered a takeaway for Nathan too.


    After that, Ste opened the Weibo and found that the topic about Channing was still heated and many


    people were still criticizing Phoebe.


    It seemed like many people would be sleepless tonight.


    As the evening wore on, the surroundings became quieter and quieter and she could only hear the


    rustle of the leaves asionally.


    After a short while, there came the raining sound.


    And the temperature in the room became lower.


    Looking at the dark night outside of the window, Ste thought of the night when the bloody Adolph


    showed up in her studio and Eugene whoy in the mortuary lonely.


    After a long while, Ste heaved a gentle sigh. This time, she didn’t owe them anything. Therefore, she


    would not show mercy to them again.


    …


    This rainy night was destined to be not calm.


    After sending the recording pen to the Conrad family, Modesty had been paying attention to the news


    on the Inte. When the recording was exposed, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling


    unprecedentedly satisfied.


    Many people knew about this affair now and it even got the Conrad Group involved. The organizer and


    the Conrad family would assert that the contents in the recording were deceitful to disassociate


    themselves from this matter. In this case, Ste would lose the opportunity to have a special


    performance.


    Modesty waited for the whole night, yet the organizer and the Conrad Group still didn’t rify this


    matter and what she got in the end was the scandals about Phoebe.


    Modesty became a bit flustered when seeing the news about Phoebe bing more heated than the


    news about Ste.


    Right at this moment, her phone suddenly rang. Looking at the stranger number on the phone, Phoebe


    thought it was a call from Adolph. She hurriedly answered the call as if she had grabbed a life-saving


    straw, “Adolph, I…”


    “Oh?”


    When hearing the frivolous male voice from the other end of the phone, Modesty knitted her brows,


    “Howes it’s you?”


    Arthur said, “Why can’t it be me? I asked you toe to my room in the hotel. Why don’t youe?”


    Modesty retorted, “Are you insane? I’ve given you that I should give you. Why should Ie there?”


    Arthurughed, “Don’t regard me as an outsider. You’ve give me that you should give me? But I haven’t


    gotten the thing that I really want. I will give you thest chance. Come to the hotel right now.


    Otherwise, don’t me me if I disclose your scandalster.”


    Modesty tightened her clench on the phone. Suppressing her anger, she asked, “Do I have any


    scandal?”


    “Oh, our cooperation was just finished, yet you forget it so soon.” Arthur said slowly, “It doesn’t matter


    even though you forget it. I don’t mind reminding you.”


    “No need.” Modesty took a deep breath, “You said it was just cooperation. Shouldn’t you shut up after


    getting the money?”


    “Yes, you’re right. I should shut up after getting the money. But it’s just the reward for helping you in the


    competition. But I didn’t get any reward from the affair of bribing the two judges to help you get the


    champion.”


    Modesty retorted in a cold voice, “It was not me who bribed the judges. It was Aurora…”


    Arthur said, “She bribed the judges for the sake of you, right? And you’re the one who won the


    championship. It was not me, nor Ms. Barton, right?”


    “Are you using this to threaten me?”


    “How can it be a threat? I’ve told you that we’re the same kind of people and I just want to have more


    profoundmunication with you.” Arthur added, “I’ve sent you the address of the hotel and my room


    number. If you don’t show up in an hour…”


    Arthur said as if he was talking to himself, “They’re enthusiastically discussing thispetition on the


    Inte. I believe that many media is willing to buy this exclusive news at a high price. Looks like I will


    get arge sum of money again.”

    Gritting her teeth, Modesty pressed the screen with great force and ended the call.


    She stood in the room for several minutes and then called Adolph, yet still failed to connect the call.


    Clenching her fists tightly, Modesty took a nce at the fruit knife on the table and put it into her bag.


    She changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
