Chapter 409


    A weekter, Ste officially signed a contract with Louis. The special brand performance would be


    held in September, which was six monthster. So she had enough time to make preparation.


    After the signing ceremony, Louis sent Ste to the door and said with pity, “I didn’t expect that there


    were many idents in this contest. As for the two judges… Ms. Radomil, please feel free to contact


    me if you need my favor in the future.”


    Although they were clear that the two judges didn’t ensure the fairness of the contest, they still couldn’t


    find out any evidence to prove that they had been bribed in the contest. So this matter could only end


    up like this.


    Ste smiled lightly, “You’re so courteous. No matter what, I should thank you for giving me this


    opportunity.”


    Louis said, “The chance is not given by me. It’s what you initially deserved.”


    They exchanged several sentences and then Ste left.


    Looking at her back, Louis’ eyes were full of praise.


    Soon after Ste came back to her studio, an unexpected guest came.


    Arthur still had a gauze bandage on his head, but this didn’t hinder him from looking around impolitely.


    When seeing Ste, he immediately wore a smile, “As for Modesty, what’s your next n?”


    Ste looked at him ndly. She didn’t ask her employee to pour a ss of water for Arthur; instead,


    she asked, “What do you mean?”


    Arthur leaned against the sofa and stretched his arms on the back of the sofa, “Come on, I’m not an


    outsider. Modesty had brought many troubles to you. Will you let go of her easily?”


    “Whether to let go of her, it’s my own business. Does it have anything to do with you?”


    Arthur didn’t feel embarrassed when hearing her unreserved words. Instead, he said with a smile, “Of


    course it has something to do with me. Look, I’m now living so miserably because of her, so we have a


    shared enemy. How about this? I propose you to discuss with me on how to plot against Phoebe so


    that she will not be able to stage aeback in the rest of her life.”


    Ste relied, “You’ve been dismissed from the designmunity. Butparing to this, what you care


    more is to plot against Modesty?”


    “s,” Arthur waved his hands as if he didn’t care about it, “It’s not a big deal. Does it matter even


    though they cancelled my qualification as a designer? Many people will still ask me to design for them


    with a great reward and they’re now queening up for the chance. Who will care about that? It’s okay as


    long as I can still earn money.”


    “Looks like you’ve earned a lot from this matter.”


    Arthur chuckled, “Of course, it’s a gamble of my career. If there wasn’t enough reward, who would


    agree to do this?”

    When speaking, he looked around Ste’s studio again, “I have to say that your studio looks good. I’m


    also pondering of opening my studio recently. Do you have any good suggestion? Do you consider


    having a franchised store? Rest assured, I will give you the dividend you deserve.”


    Ste looked at him silently, “Looks like Aurora is quite generous.”


    “That’s…”


    Arthur suddenly paused and there was a slight change in his expression.


    He coughed, “Who did you mention just not?”


    Ste spoke slowly, “Aurora. Do you forget her so soon?”


    “Ms… Ms. Barton, right? Seems like she was a specially-invited judge of the contest. I remember her.


    Of course I remember her.”


    Ste smiled. She didn’t probe into this topic and just said, “I will go on with my work if you don’t have


    any matter. Sorry, I can’t see you off.”


    “Don’t be in a hurry.” Arthur stopped her, “I’m serious on the franchised store. You can consider it. Let’s


    add each other’s WeChat ount first, and we may discuss it in detailter.”


    “Sorry, I’m not interested in it.”


    After finishing the words, Ste stood up and directly walked into her office.


    Looking at her back, Arthur narrowed his eyes.


    This woman was beautiful, smart and characteristic. Most importantly, she was rence’s woman.


    If he could get her, he was sure that Ste would be more interesting than that bitch Modesty.


    After leaving the studio, Arthur got into the car and prepared toe home. He sneered as he


    suddenly thought of something and typed a new address on the navigation system.


    …


    Modesty had been locking herself at home for several days. At present, Robert, Phoebe and Aurora all


    abandoned her.


    She even couldn’t get in touch with Adolph.


    It seemed like she was abandoned by the whole world.


    In a trance, she seemed to hear the ringing of doorbell.


    Modesty lifted her head in the darkness and looked towards the door nkly.


    The doorbell was still ringing. It was not her illusion.


    Modesty hurriedly propped herself up from the ground. She said while opening the door, “Adolph, I


    know that you will never abandon me. Last time I…”


    Before she could finish the words, she found that the one standing at the door was not Adolph but the


    other person.


    She widened her eyes in horror. Flustered, she wanted to close the door. However, before she could


    take any action, Arthur had broken into her house. He grabbed her hair and pulled her into the house.


    Modesty screamed desperately. But at the next moment, Arthur squeezed her throat with great force


    and her face instantly got red due to breathlessness.


    Arthur’s look was so ferocious. When she was about to die, he finally let go of her.


    However, before Modesty could take a breath, a hard pnded on her face.


    Arthur cursed, “Damn you little bitch. How dare you hire that man to kill me? Who do you think you’re? I


    was so lucky that I didn’t die. From now on, I will let you suffer.”


    He rammed something into the mouth, picked up the packaging tape on the table to tie her hands and


    then tore apart her clothes rudely. He then mercilessly thrust his penis into her private part and rode on


    her violently.


    Modesty widened her eyes, yet she couldn’t even utter a syble. Tears streamed down her cheeks.


    When this was over, Arthur tossed her onto the ground and directly walked towards her bedroom.


    Modesty finally pulled herself together and struggled to stand up, “What do you want to do? Get out of


    my house. You can’t…”


    Before she could finish the words, a hard pnded on her face again and Modesty fell onto the


    ground because of the force.


    Arthur walked around her bedroom without scruples and threw all the trophies and the award-winning


    works that Modesty cherished a lot onto the ground. He then stepped on them hard.


    In an instant, all the valuable things in Modesty’s bedroom were broken into pieces.


    Modesty red at Arthur fiercely, “Karma wille to you.”


    After venting his anger, Arthur stood in front of her, took out his phone and disyed a video. He said


    comcently and furiously, “Did you think that all the videos were ruined? Expectantly, I still have their


    copies.”


    Watching at herself in the video, Modesty couldn’t help but scream.


    But what she got was only Arthur’scentughter.


    Modesty suddenly stood up and pounced towards Arthur like crazy. But she was not a match for him in


    strength. Arthur directly tossed her down. When she fell onto the ground, Arthur strode over her body


    and spat on her while cursing, “What a back luck.”


    After Arthur’s leaving, Modesty was still lying on the ground feebly for a long time. She looked at the


    front nkly.
