Chapter 536
Armand shivered all over, “You...you’ve gone too far!"
Ste said, “Mr. Bernard, don’t say so. I am the person in charge of the Steward Group. Naturally, I
have to consider everything for the sake of thepany. Besides, I did not force you to pay twenty
million. Aren’t I helping you borrow money from the Conrad Group? What''s more, it was you who came
up with this idea. Why did you criticize me for going too far?"
Logan stood silently by the side and made no sound, for fear that he would be involved.
Armand pointed at Ste, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said unrestrainedly and irreverently, “I finally
know what a rogue is like today. I think you learned this from your gambler dad!"
No matter what he said, Ste still maintained a faint smile on her face. She was not angry at all.
After Armand threw his temper, he said to Logan, “I will let them transfer twenty million from my
ount to hers. It’s fucking unnecessary to hold the press conference!"
Ste slowly said, “Armand Bernard, I''m sorry that I have to interrupt you. You can just directly transfer
the money to the Steward Group’s ount. Why do you want to transfer it to me? Others who don’t
know about the truth may think you are bribing me."
Armand snorted and left.
The office door was closed with a loud bang.

Logan wiped away his sweat, “Ms. Radomil, don''t take Mr. Bernard’s to your heart. He is just frank and
outspoken, and he didn’t mean so."
Ste chuckled, “Why do I have to care about him? Now the Steward Group is in short of money. As
long as he can give twenty million to me, he can even sit here and scold me. Many people have
scolded me with words more abusive than his. If I take all their words to my heart, I won’t be alive
anymore."
After hearing this, Logan admired her a little.
If this happened to the otherdy, she would have dropped the responsibility as she wouldn’t bear such
grievance.
But Ste was able to ept these insults calmly and negotiated with Armand as if nothing had
happened.
Logan added, “Ms. Radomil, are you going to use the twenty million for thepany’s capital
turnover?"
"What else can I do?" Ste''s voice became colder, “He has a lot of money so that he dares to do such
a shameless thing. However, some troubles can be settled with money, and some troubles require a
price."
Logan said nothing.
Ste said again, “You shall keep an eye on him and you can only leave after making sure that the
ountant of ourpany has received the money."
"But Mr. Bernard..."
"If he wants to procrastinate or renege on the debt, you can tell him that we can still change the
schedule and arrange the press conference night."
Logan immediately responded, “I understand. I will deal with it now."
Ste hummed and leaned back in the office chair.
After Logan went out, Ste exhaled a sigh of relief, looked towards her trembling fingertips, picked up
the water ss next to her, and gulped down the remaining water in the ss.
Armand had always been arrogant and aloof and always looked down upon other people. If she wanted
to win him, she couldn’t show the slightest timidity.
When Ste stood up to get some water, she received a call from Samuel, “Ms. Radomil, I have found
it."
In response to Armand''s habit, the partnerpany originally arranged a woman for him in advance.
But unexpectedly, that woman couldn’te as she felt ufortable. Therefore, they contacted an
intern of thepany and asked her to entertain Armand.
The intern didn''t know anything about this disgusting transaction and thought it was just a socializing
party. After a few sses of wine, Armand showed his true colours and started to assault her.
Seeing that the girl resisted against him violently, Armand secretly drugged her and then raped her.
Hearing this, Ste took a deep breath. Her hands which were ced on the table were clenched into
fists as she asked, “Where is the victim now?"
Samuel replied, "In the house she rented. Ms. Radomil, do you want toe over?"
"Send me the address, I''lle over now."
"OK."
Less than a minute after ending the call, Ste received the address from Samuel.
She picked up her things and straightly went downstairs.
As soon as Ste got out of the elevator, she bumped into Donald, who came to thepany after
finishing his work.
Donald asked, “Where are you going?"
"Have you heard about the trouble caused by Armand?"
"I heard a little bit of it."
"I''m going to see the victim now."
Donald turned around, “I will go with you."
Ste nodded, “Okay."
Although Samuel had inquired about what was going onst night, the victim knew more specifically
about the details. Moreover, Donald was awyer. So he could learn about the case in case that they
would go to courtter.
After getting into the car, Donald asked, "How did you deal with Armand?"
Ste buckled the belt and said, "I required him to pay twenty million."
Donald was shocked, “Twenty million? He’s so tightfisted. How did you manage to do it?"
Armand had gained a lot of money through embezzlement and bribery in the Steward Group over the
years, and he stored all the money in his small vault. It is very difficult to take a penny from him. But
Ste managed to let him pay twenty million.
Ste said, “He has done something wrong and is guilt-stricken. I bluffed him, and then he agreed to
pay it."
Donald admired her, “You and rence are a perfect match."
Ste, “..."
What nonsense was he talking about?
Half an hourter, the car stopped at the entrance of the house the intern rented.
Ste went upstairs, only to find two men standing at the doors of the elevator. When they saw her,
they simultaneously turned shifted their gazes and looked away.
Hearing the footsteps, Samuel walked out of the house, “Ms. Radomil."
Ste retracted her gaze and hummed a nasal sound softly.
Samuel led her into the house and whispered, “The two standing at the door were sent by Mr. Bernard.
Once the girl wants to call the police, they will..."
Ste pursed her lips, her expression colder.
Donald sighed, “Armand wants to cover up the truth."
When Ste entered the house, she saw a man standing at the door and persuading the girl earnestly,
“Bonnie, since this has already happened, we have to find a way to solve it, right? It’s not good for you
to stay in the room all day long. Would you like to go out and eat something?”
There was no response from inside.
The man continued, “I have discussed this with thepany, and we will directly get you a regr
worker. As for the sry, we will not deny it no matter how much you ask for it. Well, we all work for
supporting our families. Moreover, Mr. Bernard also promised that he willpensate you
correspondingly. You also know that Mr. Bernard is an executive of a bigpany. It’s not a person
that we can offend. It’s almost enough. Or how’s this? You can tell me your conditions and I can
negotiate it on behalf of you.”
It sounded like the man was concerned for her and it would be Bonnie who went too far if she didn’t
ept this.
Ste walked over and Samuel introduced, “Ms. Radomil, this is Mr. Christian Atwood, the
representative of the partnerpany."
Christian turned his head to study Ste up and down, “You are?"
