After he left, Modesty disgustedly withdrew her eyes, took out a wet tissue and wiped her hands. She
instructed the driver, “Let’s go.”
Not long after, the black car stopped in front of a beauty salon.
Modesty carried her bag and walked in skilfully.
In the VIP room, a woman was lying on the bed, doing full-body skincare.
Modesty said, “Ms. Barton.”
Aurora Barton opened her eyes and waved her hand to the staff next to her, “You go out first.”
Aurora did not move and said lazily, “Are things done?”
“Yes.” Modesty could not help but frown, “But…”
“But what.”
“That guy by the name of Arthur doesn’t look very reliable. I’m worried he’ll screw up our plan.”
Aurora laughed disdainfully, “That kind of low-class person can be easily gotten rid of by just giving
some money. People who can be gotten rid of using money are the most reliable in this world.”
Modesty did not say anything.
Aurora looked at her, “Any more problems?”
Modesty said, “Ms. Barton, what if we’re found out of doing this?”
“As long as you and I don’t say anything, it will be fine as the one who received the money is even less
likely to say anything. Besides, your master is also a judge, will he be willing to let you be defeated by
others? Or is it that you have no confidence in yourself?”
“I have confidence, but…”
“It will be fine as long as you have confidence. I’m just helping you to get rid of trouble. To draw the
style that others are good at is also a great challenge for yourself. What you have to do now is to save
strength and keep it until the time of the final to trample that seductress!”
When the word “seductress” was mentioned, Aurora gnashed her teeth in rage.
She still could not forget the embarrassment and shame she experienced at the Conrad Group that
day!
Aurora said, “Well, if there is nothing, you should go back. If there is any problem, I’ll inform you in
advance.”
“Then I’ll go first.”
Aurora gave an um, “Tell the person to come in on your way out, my skincare is only done halfway.”
Modesty exhaled, turned around and left.
When Modesty arrived at the door of her house and when she was about to enter the password, she
heard a series of footsteps behind her. She alertly turned back, “Who is there?”
“It’s me.”
The man behind her slowly raised his head and the face revealed below the hat was Adolph’s face.
Modesty’s hand that was gripping the door handle gripped even a little tighter, “Mr…Mr. Miller, why do
you come here?”
Adolph said, “You father is sick and hospitalized. If you have time, go and see him.”
Hearing this, disgust flashed on Modesty’s face. She then said, “I’m busy with the competition this time
so I don’t have time. Besides, I’m not a doctor, what’s the use of going.”
As Modesty said, she opened the door and wanted to go in.
But just as she was about to close the door, the door handle was held from the outside. Adolph said,
“Modesty, does Stella participate in the competition you participate in.”
Modesty frowned, “What are you asking this for.”
Adolph kept silent for a while before saying, “You should…fully focus on the competition, don’t have
any other ideas. I’ll take good care of your father.”
“Mr. Miller, what do you mean by that? What else can I do if I don’t focus on the competition? Are you
thinking that I’m plotting secretly to use any dirty tricks to deal with her again?”
“I didn’t mean it that way.”
“If you didn’t mean it that way, you wouldn’t have said that.” Modesty frowned even more and sized up
him twice, “Why do you suddenly mention this to me, don’t tell me that you fall in love with her? Heh,
it’s reasonable too, she is pretty so every man will like her.”
Hearing the mockery in her words, an angry frown creased Adolph’s forehead, “It isn’t what you think. I
just think that it isn’t easy for you to have today’s achievement and if you can be down to earth when
doing things, you won’t lose to anyone too. There is no need for you to use other ways to do some…”
“Enough, I know what are you trying to say,” Modesty interrupted him, “I won’t harm others if they don’t
offend me. As long as she doesn’t deliberately provoke me, I won’t bother her.”
Adolph withdrew his hand, “Then you prepare for the competition, I’ll go first.”
When he had just turned around, Modesty closed the door immediately.
She bit her lips tightly and slammed her bag against the wall. Since when that even the people who
were closest and she trusted the most also started to stand by Stella’s side? What was the reason?
Why was Stella able to get the best things while what she got was the remaining one from hers?
Whether it was the opportunity to study in Paris or when she was in SG, or even Clarence…
She was obviously not inferior to her in any way but why should she be inferior to Stella in every way?
She was not willing to accept it!
She must get first place in the designer competition this time!
…
When Stella returned to the studio, she saw Daniel standing at the door in the sun, smiling at her and
greeting, “Welcome back, Ms. Radomil.”
Stella nodded gently. She wanted to start saying something several times but she swallowed it all back.
Daniel noticed it and asked, “Is Ms. Radomil having something to say to me?”
Since he spoke this, Stella just went along with his words, “I haven’t visited your piano room yet, can I
join you?”
“Of course, it’s my honour.”
There were only two girls learning the piano and one staff member in the piano room at this time.
Daniel said, “There are some on the second floor too, does Ms. Radomil want to go up and take a
look?”
“Sure.”
The second floor was quiet. It should be a place to rest when one was tired. One could still faintly hear
the sound of piano practice coming from downstairs.
Daniel stood in front of the coffee maker, “Would Ms. Radomil like to have a cup of coffee?”
“No, I drank it just now. I would like to have a glass of water.”
“Okay.”
Daniel poured a glass of warm water and handed the glass to her.
Stella thought for a moment and said, “May I know why would you set up a piano room here?”
Daniel raised his eyebrows and leant against the balcony railing, “Didn’t I tell Ms. Radomil that I would
stay in City N for a while. I was too bored to stay at home every day so I got myself something to do.”
“Then regarding the reason that you opened the piano room next to our studio, was it on purpose or a
coincidence?”
Daniel smiled and did not answer immediately.
Stella added, “I’m quite grateful for those things before and I also think you shouldn’t be a scum who
plays with others’ feelings. It’s just that your behaviour sometimes causes a lot of trouble for my friend.”
“I just want to apologize to her for what happened before.”
“If you don’t intend to have more relationship with her, I don’t think this apology is necessary.”
Daniel licked his lower lip. He surprisingly did not know what to say for a moment.
Stella let out a breath, “If that was why you came here to set up a piano room, then I think…”
“No.”
