Chapter 698


    Winnie was right. Chassell wouldn’t go to Channing’s university, and nor would he go to find the media.


    Once this matter became known to public, not only Channing would be exposed, the other party that


    had bought the offer letter would be disclosed as well.


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Channing wasn''t the one who started this kind of trade.


    If Chassell chose to expose this matter, many people’s interests and reputations would be inflicted.


    They wouldn’t let Chassell get away with this.


    Hence, Chassell was only using this matter to threaten her.


    With a sneer, Chassell said, “You have balls to speak to me like this because Conrad Group is your


    backer. But rence Conrad has nothing to do with Conrad Group now. And I will cooperate with


    Conrad Group soon. Between you and me, whom do you think Justin Conrad would support? As for


    that boy, without the Conrad’s protection, he’s nothing. It’s effortless for me to kill him.”


    Winnie looked calm. “Try it then. Before anything happens to him, I’m sure you will be ruined already.”


    Putting on a sullen face, he was about to walk to her, and they heard the urgent knocks on the door.


    He paused his pace, looking more annoyed.


    After a moment of fumbling, the door was opened.


    Ste appeared at the door. Taking a nce at Chassell, she strode to Winnie. “Are you alright?”


    Winnie shook her head. “I’m fine.”


    Seeing that things didn’t happen as he expected, Chassell was about to leave. However, when he only


    took a few steps, he was blocked by two upright figures appeared in front of him.


    He thought he had seen the ghosting.


    rence stood there and asked impassively, “Mr. Barret, what are you doing here?”


    Chassell exhaled and tried to speak in a casual way, “I came to chat with Winnie. Mr. Conrad, since


    you want to see her, please excuse me.”


    “Why so hurry?” said rence, “I haven’t met you for a long time, Mr. Barret. Why don’t you stay?”


    As he spoke, he walked into the dressing room and sat down on a sofa.


    After he entered, ine finally managed to squeeze in. She wanted to get inside but was pulled back


    by someone.


    She looked back unhappily, only to meet Darnell’s cold gaze. She swallowed herint.


    Darnell cast her a nce, and she understood right away. Then she followed him to leave the scene


    reluctantly.


    Chassell was standing there with a long face. He wanted to leave as well, but he couldn’t.


    rence was sitting there, looking at him. “Why? Mr. Barret, don’t you want to chat with me?”


    Chassell had always been suppressed by rence. He had been hoping to work with Conrad Groups,


    but rence refused him several times.


    Right now, he became even more irritated.


    Why should he be inferior to rence Conrad?


    rence wasn’t the powerful and frightening CEO of Conrad Group any more.


    Hence, Chassell said rudely, “I’m here today to do the business negotiation with the current CEO of


    Conrad Group. I have nothing to talk with you.”


    rence said, “Mr. Barret, what are you talking about? You cane to Winnie for a chat, but why


    can’t I go to you for a chat?”


    “I have nothing to talk to you.”


    rence said tly, “I see. Mr. Barret, turns out you are aware that if you want to chat with someone,


    you need the person''s permission.”


    Chassell''s face stiffened.


    Right then, a voice sounded outside the door. “rence, what happened?”


    Justin was pushed into the dressing room by his assistant


    Seeing Chassell, Justin was a bit surprised. “Oh, Mr. Barret, you are here as well.”


    Chassell looked less annoyed and greeted him, “Good evening, Mr. Conrad.”


    Justin looked around in the dressing room. “Ste, why do you look so solemn. What happened?”


    Winnie said, “Chassell Barret harassed me.”


    Chassell snapped, “Mr. Conrad, don’t listen to her. That''s ndering. I happened to pass by this ce.


    I haven’t done anything.”


    Ste retorted calmly, “If you happened to pass by here, why did you lock the door from the inside?”


    “How do I know who has locked the door? I...”


    “It was locked from the inside. If it weren’t you, was it Winnie?”


    “Why not?” Chassell mocked, “Three years ago, she tried to hit on me purposely. Now she knows I’m


    divorced, so she has done it again. She wanted to be my wife. Not only that, she also wants to


    ruin my reputation. Mr. Conrad, for an artist like this, morally corrupted and full of lies, why does Conrad


    Group still support her?”


    Ste snorted in anger. “Who the heck was the one full of lies?”


    Chassell turned around and looked at her. “You are Winnie Truman’s friend. Even if you didn’t collude


    with her, you were also deceived. You don’t know what the truth is. You don’t have the right to question


    me.”


    Justin frowned, “Mr. Barret, please mind yournguage.”


    Chassell tidied up his cor and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Conrad. I’m just too angry. Please don’t mind if I’ve


    been too rude.”


    rence sat on the sofa, knocking his knees with his fingers casually. “Mr. Barrett, you are truly good


    at confusing right with wrong. No wonder you didn’t suffer any loss in the event three years ago and


    wasn’t impacted at all.”


    “That was because I didn’t do anything wrong, and that’s the truth.”


    Winnie hissed, “Do you want the truth? I can call my assistant here. She will tell you what exactly


    happened tonight.”


    Chassell stood there collectedly.


    Justin cast a nce at his assistant behind him. Thetter understood and turned away.


    Justin wheeled himself forward. “It might take longer. Please have a seat first.”


    Ste and Winnie sat down next to rence. Justin stopped beside them. Chassell sat down on the


    opposite side.


    rence uttered, “Mr. Barret, are you calm enough to chat with me now?”


    Since Justin was here, Chassell couldn’t be so arrogant as earlier. He tried to suppress his anger and


    asked, “What would you like to talk about?”


    rence said, “I remembered four years ago, the Barret''s invested a resort. When the project was half-


    finished, the construction site copsed, and a lot of people died. In the end, thepany in charge of


    the construction went bankrupt because of thepensation. Hence, the Barret''s transferred the right


    of development to themselves and continued to build the resort.”


    Chassell’s face had darkened already. “Why do you mention it?” he asked.


    “Nothing. Just chitchat. Has the construction finished yet?”


    “It''s already done at the beginning of this year.”


    rence continued, “Mr. Barret, why did you divorce? Can you tell us more details?”


    “It’s my privacy. I’m sorry.”


    “I see,” rence said calmly, “What a coincidence. Two months ago, rumors had it that Mr. Barret


    divorced because someone had acquired evidence of the resort’s construction ident four years ago.


    Your ex-wife is a smart woman. She didn’t want to be dragged into touble, so she directly divorced


    you.”


    Chassell stood up instantly. “Bullshit!”
