Chapter 535


    After a while, Emmett appeared in Ste''s office.


    Ste said to the assistant who led him in, "Please make two cups of coffee."


    When the assistant was about to receive the order, Emmett said, "Don’t bother. I''ll be leaving soon."


    The assistant looked towards Ste. Ste nodded and then the assistant closed the door and left.


    Emmett sat in front of Ste and put down the Kraft paper bag, “Ste, everything you want is here."


    "Thank you." Ste rubbed her temples, “I should have taken it by myself, but I didn’t have time..."


    Emmettughed, “It doesn’t matter. It happens that I have toe here to deal with a matter, so it’s


    convenient for me to bring the thing here to you. I heard about the trouble caused by Armand. I also


    inquired others about this matter on the way here. Thepany which had a negotiation with Armand


    last night is a newpany which was established two months ago. It’s said that its boss is an


    overseas Chinese and no one has seen him."


    Ste frowned slightly, “Do you mean thispany may be weird?"


    Emmett nodded, “Although Armand is a total scumbag, it''s not the first time for him to do such a thing.


    He bes especially and prudent after the crisis of the Steward Group. How would he allow such an


    ident to happen?"


    Ste pressed her lips slightly, “Butst time he and another senior of the Steward Group forced


    Madison to drink wine and I witnessed the scene. They wanted to...take her away."


    "That happened when Madison''s husband was in a trouble, right? If you weren''t there that day, who


    knows what would happen? Madison went to him for help. Even if she called the police after that, he


    could still shift the me to her. Or, if he agreed to help Madison, Madison would probablypromise


    to it under his coercion and temptation for the sake of her husband’s future.”


    Ste''s hands, which were ced on the table, were slowly clenched into fists, and her brows were


    furrowed tightly.


    Emmett continued, “So, this time the victim not only did not ept his coercion and temptation but also


    nned to spread this scandal. There could be only two causes – maybe they didn’t arrange this well


    in advance, or maybe all this is a trap.”


    After a pause, Emmett said again, “Ste, what do you think of the cause? Which one is more likely?"


    Ste frowned, “I would rather believe that that girl was coerced, but..."


    But what Emmett said was right. That bastard, Armand, is very experienced in such a thing and he


    would not make such a low-level mistake.


    Right at this moment, there came a string of knocking sounds on the door, and the assistant said, “Ms.


    Radomil, Mr. Bernard is already downstairs."


    Emmett stood up and said, "Ste, then I''ll leave first. Call me if you have any problem."


    Ste nodded, “Okay, thank you."


    "You’re weed."


    After Emmett’s leaving, Ste opened the Kraft paper bag in front of her and took out Armand''s


    information from it.


    Ten minutester, Armand entered Ste''s office with displeasure written all over his face. He said


    opposite to her and said unceremoniously, "Ms. Radomil, why do you look for me in such a hurry."


    Ste smiled, “Mr. Bernard, did bother your rest?"


    Seeing the smile on Ste’s face, Armand''s anger was relieved a little, “I was not having a rest. It’s just


    that I don’t think I should deal with anything in thepany..."


    "You don’t have to deal with anything?"


    Armand said, “Now you are solely responsible for thepany''s affairs. What can I do?"


    Ste said lightly, “Then Mr. Bernard, do you mean that since I’m solely responsible for thepany''s


    affairs, you can shift the me for the evil thing you did to thepany and let me solve it?"


    Armand thought her words were not pleasant to ears, but he was the one who did something wrong, so


    he couldn''t refute it. He just said, "It''s not a big deal. She just wants money. Just give her some money


    and it will be settled easily."


    "Some money? Mr. Bernard, how much do you mean?"


    Armand said impatiently, “That woman just wants arger sum of money. Just ignore her for several


    days and she will not be so greedy. She will ept it no matter how much we give her."


    Armand said disdainfully, “She’s young, but it seems like she’s not well-educated and likes to y


    tricks.”


    Ste said coldly, “You also know that she is young. Mr. Bernard, she’s only two or three years older


    than your daughter."


    Armand said, “It was she who seduced me. I had no choice.”


    “If she was willing, why does she make a fuss now?”


    Armand was lost for words and stiffened.


    He drank some winest night. Although that girl’s attitude was ambiguous, the representative of that


    company told him that they had arranged it. Therefore, he didn’t think too much of it and thought it was


    a kind of excitement. Unexpectedly, due to this negligence, he was trapped.


    Those people’s target was to get his money. Armand, of course, would not surrender to them. He left


    this problem to Ste and this was his best choice.


    This was rted to the reputation of the Steward Group and Ste wouldn’t turn a blind eye to it.


    Ste said, “Mr. Bernard, how do you n to solve this matter?"


    "What nonsense are you asking? I said it: just give her some money..."


    "How much should we give her? Mr. Bernard, please give me a specific number so that I can let the


    financial ountant deal with it. I hope Mr. Bernard can solve this before this afternoon."


    Armand was stunned, “What do you mean?"

    Ste''s expression remained unchanged, “It means, Mr. Bernard, please remit the money to the


    ount of thepany. Didn’t Mr. Bernard want me to help you solve this matter? To be frank, I’m just


    running a small studio and don’t have too much money. Therefore, I can’t pay this for you, Mr.


    Bernard.”


    Armand sneered, “You don’t have money? How can it be possible? rence will give you..."


    "I understand what Mr. Bernard means. You want to borrow money from Conrad Group. That''s fine. I


    will hold a press conference this afternoon to borrow money for you in the name of the Steward Group.


    It can be regarded as an IOW, which means that we will pay it backter, and we will not repudiate the


    debt."


    Armand stood up abruptly, “What do you mean by holding a press conference?"


    Ste leaned back in the office chair and said unhurriedly, “Naturally, we should make things clear


    before borrowing money. Otherwise, why should the Conrad Group lend us money? But Mr. Bernard,


    you can rest assured. I believe that as long as everyone can understand your difficulties, they will lend


    money to you."


    Armand was so angry at her, “You...you..."


    He repeated the same word, yet still couldn’t utter aplete sentence.


    Ste directly made an internal call, “Let Logan in."


    "Okay."


    Less than a minuteter, Logan appeared in the office, “Ms. Radomil, what’s the matter?"


    Ste said, “Please arrange a press conference for me."


    Logan was confused, “What''s the content of the press conference?"


    "Mr. Bernard wants to borrow money from Conrad Group. It''s not easy to borrow money for nothing.


    Holding a press conference is equivalent to making an IOU."


    Logan looked at Armand, “Mr. Bernard..."


    Armand banged his palm on the desk and went into a rage, “I will now let the financial ountant


    transfer one million from my ount to your bank card. Is this okay?”


    Ste smiled and slowly said, "Twenty million."


    "Impossible! You..."


    Ste said to Logan, “Set the conference at two o''clock."
