Chapter 425


    Modesty looked pale. Moving her lips, she exined, “No…it''s not like that, I don’t have the intention of


    doing that… I just want…”


    “What do you want?” Dempsey narrowed his eyes, “As I see it, you are afraid to offend rence, so


    you want me to take this responsibility for you!”


    As he roared at Modesty, she felt that she seemed to stop breathing. She trembled uncontrobly and


    did not know what to say next.


    At that moment, Justin appeared behind her and said slowly, “Don’t be afraid. If you want to say


    something, stand up first.”


    Modesty’s mind went nk for a moment. When she turned her head, her pupils noticeably dted and


    constricted. But she still didn’t dare to move.


    Justin gave a chuckle, leaned down and extended his hand to Modesty.


    Modesty’s gaze fell on his palm. After hesitating for a long time, she tentatively held his hand and


    slowly stood up.


    At the same time, Dempsey said in an unsatisfied tone, “Justin, don''t always waste your kindness on


    ces that don’t deserve it.”


    Justin replied, “There may be some misunderstanding in this matter. Thest time we checked the


    identity of the person who ordered the reporter to infiltrate the Conrad family, wasn''t the person a


    man?”


    “I guess that he is her aplice!”


    Justin looked at Modesty, “There''s still time, so tell us what is going on. Don''t worry. If you didn’t do it,


    we will definitely not make your life difficult.”


    Modesty stood beside him and bit her lower lip strongly. After a long time, she said, “I didn''t do it…I


    don''t know what is going on either, really...”


    Dempsey hammered the floor strongly with his walking stick and scolded loudly, “There is concrete


    evidence. You are still denying responsibility!”


    Modesty was frightened and hid behind Justin instinctively. She said hurriedly, “This really has nothing


    to do with me, but I know the man who approached the reporterstst time. He has been…has


    been…”


    “What has he been doing?”


    “He has been helping Ste to do things.” After making up her mind to continue lying, Modesty was


    moreposed instead, “Moreover, he was also the one who took Ste away from the Conrad family


    at the beginning. I don''t know how he has be my aplice. It is most likely that I have offended


    Ste at the designers’ contest this time, and she has deliberately said this in order to get back at


    me…”


    After hearing her words, Dempsey narrowed his eyes and did not speak for a moment.


    On the day that Ste left the Conrad family, there was indeed a man in the car.


    After further investigation, the man was not one of rence’s men.


    If what she said was true, then the incident in which the reporter infiltrated the Conrad family was


    nned by Ste!


    He didn’t expect that women to have such clever tricks that could even fool him!


    After thinking about it for some time, Dempsey asked, “How do you exin the incident involving the


    recording pen?”


    Compared to his previous voice, his current voice was much softer.


    Modesty gritted her teeth. Since she had already started this, she would continue to do it, “It was…Ms.


    Steward who instructed me to do so.”


    Dempsey frowned, “Ms. Steward? Which Ms. Steward?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “The youngdy of the Steward Group, Phoebe Steward.”


    “How did you know her?”


    Modesty clenched her fist and spoke, “Just like Ste, I was a designer in SG Jewelry Magazine. At


    that time when Ms. Steward was not yet engaged to Mr. Conrad, she already knew that Ste was Mr.


    Conrad’s ex-wife, so she deliberately got close to Ste. She often used me to deal with Ste.”


    Dempsey said, “The bribery of judges in the designers’ contest was ordered by Phoebe?”


    “No. That was done by Aurora Barton.”


    “Aurora Barton? How did she get involved again?”


    Modesty breathed in, “Aurora was holding a grudge because Mr. Conrad had rejected her, so she


    wanted to deal with Ste. She asked me to bribe the judges for her. But she casted me aside after she


    had achieved her goal. After I had done as I was told, she didn''t care about my situation. As a result, I


    took the recording pen to Ms. Steward. She instructed me to say that the only person who is not afraid


    to offend Mr. Conrad is Master Conrad, so she told me toe to you.”


    She had been driven into a corner anyway. Since Aurora and Phoebe had kicked her aside, she would


    just make reckless decisions to make matters worse by implicating them all. If she was going to be in


    trouble, she would not let them rest easy.


    After listening to Modesty’s words, Dempsey snorted coldly, “One is smarter than the other indeed.”


    Justin said slowly, “If that engagement didn’t happen, these things would not happen. From Phoebe’s


    perspective, she didn’t do anything wrong.”


    “At this point of time, you are still defending her. Do you know what situation the Conrad family is in


    now because of her?”


    Justin replied, “As long as you pull back from your ns in time, rence will show mercy to us.”


    Dempsey sneered, “I pull back from my ns in time? Don''t forget how Ste lost her child! Do you


    think rence will let your mother off the hook?


    Justin didn’t say anything anymore.


    Dempsey got up and went upstairs with the help of his walking stick. Before he left, he took a look at


    his men, “Take care of this.”


    Modesty took a few steps backwards and was afraid again.


    Justin raised his hand to stop Dempsey’s men from taking any actions and looked at Modesty, “I will


    send you out.”


    Modesty looked at him uncertainly. But when she saw that the men who were about to step forward


    had retreated to their original positions, she felt that her heart seemed to have started beating again.


    Justin maneuvered his wheelchair and went out of the house. Modesty saw his movements and


    hurriedly followed after him.


    After reaching the garden, Modesty couldn’t help but to say, “Thank you.”


    Justin said calmly, “No need to thank me.”


    “You and Mr. Conrad…”


    “I am his brother.”


    After hearing his words, Modesty was quite surprised, “Does Mr. Conrad have a brother?”


    After she had finished saying the sentence, the wheelchair stopped moving.


    Modesty turned her head, realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said, “I’m sorry.


    Before this, I just never heard of …”


    Justin looked at the rising sun in the distance. There were no emotions on his fair face.


    Modesty stood beside him and didn’t dare to speak.


    After some time, Justin then said, “Just now, you said that the person who took Ste away had been


    helping her to do things before?”


    After her mind had gone nk for a moment, Modesty nodded while pinching the hem of her shirt.


    “Do you know that person?”


    “I only…know a little about him. I am not very familiar with him.”


    Justin acknowledged her words and turned his head to look at her, “You know that Ste had a


    miscarriage in a car ident because she got into that car, don’t you? The one who drove the car was


    that person.”


    Stammering, Modesty replied, “I am not really sure.”


    “It''s fine if you don''t know about this.” Justin added, “Then, can you tell me the person’s name and


    ce of residence?”


    Modesty opened her mouth but didn’t make a sound.


    She had an intuition that if she told him Adolph''s information, the man in front of her, who seemed as


    gentle as amb, would not have mercy on Adolph.


    Justin gave a chuckle, “Are you unwilling to tell me?”


    For no reason, a chill went down her spine although the sun had clearly risen. Modesty hurriedly


    opened her mouth and told him all the information she knew about Adolph.
