Chapter 430


    Ste lived in rence’s apartment for several days. Without being bothered by Charles and Phoebe,


    Ste felt quite rxed even though sometimes rence was annoying.


    When learning that Charles hade back, Ste also came back to the Steward family on that day.


    Just as she entered the house, Phoebe’s cold voice sounded, “You really take my home as a hotel


    where you cane and go at will?”


    Ste smiled lightly, “Ms. Steward, you misunderstand me. I never mean this. It’s just that not everyone


    can be as lucky as like you. Ms. Steward, you can stay at home every day and you don’t need to do


    anything. You can even invite your friends to have an afternoon tea when you’re boring. But I’m not as


    lucky as you. I have to run here and there for my work. Mr. Steward, you can understand me on this


    point, right?”


    When Ste was speaking, Charles urred to walk downstairs from the second floor.


    He said, “Do you mean that you were not in City N during the past days?”


    “Of course not. Because of my work, I got off the workte every day. Fearing that I might bother Ms.


    Steward when she was having a rest, I lived in the other ce recently.”


    Charles didn’t say anything else. He took a nce at Phoebe, hinting her toe back to her


    bedroom.


    Of course Phoebe wouldn’t ept this. When she was about to say something, Ste spoke, “By the


    way, Mr. Steward, I’ve fulfilled what I’ve promised you. When will you fulfill your promise?”


    Charles asked, “What promise?”


    Ste had expected that he would not agree to it easily. She said with a smile, “Mr. Steward, great wits


    have short memories. It’s normal that you’ve forgotten it. You promised before that as long as I could


    rify that all the things happened before had nothing to do with Ms. Steward, you will let Ms. Steward


    apologize brother.”


    Ste paused and then continued, “Mr. Steward, do you remember it now?”


    Before Charles could say something, Phoebe said with a cold face, “Impossible!”


    Ste looked towards Charles while maintaining the smile on her face, “Mr. Steward, do you think so?”


    Phoebe hurriedly called him, “Dad…”


    “Phoebe,” Charles interrupted her and then asked Ste, “How do you want her to apologize to your


    brother?”


    Ste said, “Although this matter can’t be exposed to the public, my brother can’t suffer those


    grievances in vain. Therefore, I invited Mr. Thomas to witness it. Mr. Steward, if you don’t have any


    objection, let’s set the time on tomorrow. It’s the weekend and my brother will be free.”


    Charles knitted his brows and he was probably dissatisfied that Ste would invite Cameron to be a


    witness. He didn’t reply to it instantly.


    Phoebe said, “Ste Radomil, enough is enough. Don’t go too far!”


    “Ms. Steward, you words are so interesting. Who’s the one who has gone too far?” Ste’s expression


    uncontrobly turned cold and even her tone was tinged with a touch of coldness, “Ms. Steward, if you


    have any dissatisfaction, you can target at me. Have my brother offended you? Why did you use that


    obscene trick on him? Ms. Steward, do you think what you did is so lofty so that others should praise


    it?”


    Phoebe’s expression changed from pale to red alternatively under Ste’s criticism. She moved her


    lips, yet still couldn’t utter a syble after a long while.


    Right at this moment, Charles’ voice sounded, “It’s useless to continue this topic. You shall arrange the


    time and venue.”


    “Mr. Steward, then I will thank you in advance.”


    After finishing the words, Ste smiled at Charles, turned around and went upstairs.


    Phoebe looked towards Charles in disbelief, “Dad, are you really letting me apologize to her brother?


    I…”


    Charles lifted his hand to interrupt her, “It’s just an apology. It’s not a big deal.”


    “Why isn’t it a big deal? I won’t agree to it!”


    Charles took a nce at her and said, “Come to my study.”


    They then came to the study. Before Phoebe could say something to refuse it, Charles said in a deep


    voice, “Didn’t you tell me before that you didn’t involve in the matter of the Young Designers’ Contest?”


    Phoebe was dumbfounded when she heard the question. She said after a long while, “I… I didn’t.”


    Charles sat down in front of the desk and said with a cold and ferocious expression, “Although at


    present the Conrad Group is mostly under rence’s control, since the other members of the Conrad


    family can still fight against rence until now, do you think that Dempsey doesn’t have his force and


    men?”


    It was the first time that Charles talked to Phoebe in such a tone. Phoebe’s face turned pale, “I… I…”


    She still couldn’t utter aplete sentence after a long while.


    Originally, Charles nned toe back several dayster. However, the Conrad family had been


    seeking troubles for him recently and he had no choice. He came back hurriedly although the affairs


    abroad hadn’t been solved.


    The other members of the Conrad family were different from rence. He had known Dempsey for


    many years and Dempsey knew many of his secrets that other people didn’t know.


    Even though for the time being, based on Dempsey’s force, he would not be able to do anything to the


    Steward Group. But there was an old saying – slight negligence may lead to greater disaster.


    He had to guard against this possibility in this critical and sensitive period.


    Charles said in a tired tone, “All right. Don’t bring trouble to me again. Be obedient and apologize to


    him.”


    Phoebe bit her lower lip, daring not to retort this again.

    Aftering back to her bedroom, Phoebe took out her phone and dialed Modesty.


    When the call was received, she said in a cold voice, “Did you betray me?”


    Modesty paused and said, “Ms. Steward, I don’t know what you mean?”


    Phoebe said in a cold voice, “Since this matter has progressed to what it is now, you don’t need to act


    in front of me again.”


    “Ms. Steward, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve been under such a miserable condition


    and it’s unnecessary for me to pretend anything again.”


    “It’s better to be like this. If I find out that you were the backstabber, don’t me me for being cruel.”


    When Phoebe was about to end the call, Modesty’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone,


    “Ms. Steward, I’m not the backstabber, but you. I’ve been taken the me for you for many times from


    the very beginning. You were envious of Ste, but you didn’t dare to say it out loudly. Instead, you


    deliberately stimted me and asked me to do those things for you. When you did these things, have


    you ever thought that you would suffer the consequences one day?”


    “As expected, it was you.”


    Modesty continued, “So what? Does it matter no matter it was done by me or not? I’ve lost everything


    because of you and be how I look like today. We can go to hell together at worst!”


    After finishing the words, Modesty directly hung up the phone.


    Hearing the busy tones from the other end of the phone, Phoebe gritted her teeth tightly.


    On the other side…


    Modesty put down her phone and continued to package up her things.


    She had sold this house and nned to start her new life in the other ce.


    Just as she had packaged up all the things, there came a string of doorbells. Ste thought that it was


    the men from the movingpany and hurriedly opened the door.


    But the one standing at the door was the drunken Arthur.


    Modesty was instantly freaked out. She wanted to close the door, but it was toote.


    Arthur hupped and forcibly broke into the house. Looking at the suitcases in the house, he burst into


    laughter, “Yo, where are you going to move to? I can give you a ride.”
