Stella stared at her and said word by word, “Without your preparation for this big show beforehand,
how would there be an opportunity for me to perform myself?”
Phoebe’s expression changed instantly. Then, she sneered, “Don’t be complacent too early.”
“I’m not complacent at all. After all, what I’m doing now can’t be compared to what you’ve done.” Stella
said indifferently, “Actually, I have always wanted to ask you something, but I feel that I’m asking
knowingly. However, since we’ve already come to this point, I’ll just ask you casually, I hope that you
won’t mind.”
Phoebe crossed her arms around her chest and looked indifferent, as if she wanted to see what Stella
would say.
Stella said, “You are the one who told Annie about my pregnancy, aren’t you?”
Phoebe responded calmly, “According to what you’ve said, I guess you are determined that it was me
who told her. So, no matter what I say, you will take it as me quibbling. However, I’m quite curious
about one thing. Should we be ashamed about things like getting pregnant? It had been so long, but
you actually come and question me about this now.”
“Pregnancy is indeed not a shameful thing, but sometimes, people are just too dark and sinful inside
them. Hence, they are afraid to do things under the sun.”
Stella left this sentence and turned around. She directly entered the room.
Phoebe took a deep breath, and her expression was as cold as she could be.
She went back to her room and saw that her phone was vibrating. It was a call from an unfamiliar
number.
Phoebe hung up irritably. After a while, the person called again.
She picked up the call and Modesty’s voice came into her ears, “Ms. Steward, I am Modesty.”
“What’s up?”
Modesty said cautiously, “I know you hate Stella too, so I…”
Phoebe said indifferently, “You know?”
A sudden question made Modesty paused for a while. After a few seconds, she continued, “Before that
in SG, although you didn’t say it out, but I could feel it. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not using this to
threaten you. I have something in hand, and I think that you will be interested about it.”
“Oh?” Phoebe sat on the sofa, “Maybe you have misunderstood me, I don’t hate Stella a lot. Besides,
she hasn’t affected any of my interests. Hence, there is no reason for me to hate her. Are you trying to
hurt her under the guise of me?”
Modesty bit her lips, “It’s like that, Ms. Steward. I just think that someone like Stella doesn’t deserve all
of this at all. She doesn’t deserve to be loved by Mr. Conrad, nor does she deserve to live in the
Steward family’s house, let alone…”
Phoebe continued her words, “Let alone being worthy to win the designer competition?”
Modesty did not answer. It was no doubt that she was acquiescing.
Phoebe spoke casually, “But the one who won the championship is you, isn’t it? It seems that she really
doesn’t deserve it and she doesn’t have that strength and ability to win.”
“I’ll let you listen to a recording, and you’ll understand everything.”
At the other end of the line, after a subtle noise, there came the conversion between Louis and Stella
when they were at the hotel.
After listening to it, Phoebe did not give any reaction.
Modesty’s voice couldn’t help but get agitated a little, “The special show for the brand of the Fashion
Week was originally belonged to the champion of the competition, but Louis deliberately gave her the
opportunity. Doesn’t you feel unfair?”
Phoebe said, “It’s a competition, whoever takes it seriously will be the one who loses.”
Modesty said again, “To let the organizer to make such a decision, I feel that this is because of one
person.”
“Who?”
“The CEO of the Conrad Group.”
Phoebe said slowly, “Why did you say so?”
Modesty said, “The Conrad Group was originally the organizer of this competition, and when they were
in SG, Mr. Conrad had been giving Stella all kinds of resources and opportunities in the fashion
industry. I have the reason to suspect that the whole competition is the joint operation of the Conrad
Group and the organizer. Hence, who is the champion does not matter at all, Stella is the person they
want to promote.”
“That’s the Conrad Group, you’d better not say anything without evidence.”
At the other end of the line, Modesty gripped the phone tightly, she thought that Phoebe would be
angry with Stella when she brought Mr. Conrad out. After all, Phoebe was once the fiancée of Mr.
Conrad. But now, Mr. Conrad was back together with Stella. Modesty did not believe that anyone can
bear this silently.
After a few seconds of silence, Modesty added, “The recording I have and the relationship between
Stella and Mr. Conrad are the best evidence.”
Phoebe said, “What can you do even if there is evidence in your hand? You know that it was an under-
table operation, it is difficult to find reporters to expose them. Moreover, the only media company that is
not afraid of the Conrad Group is the Conrad’s own media company.”
Modesty did not speak for a moment, but she realized a few key words from Phoebe’s words. She
needed to find a media company to expose this, and the company must not be afraid of Clarence.
Modesty frowned. She thought for a few seconds and then she suddenly understood what Phoebe
meant.
Mr. Conrad had always been at odds with the Conrad family. If she wanted to expose this matter
without involving herself, the best way was to give this recording to the Conrad family.
Without waiting for her to answer, Phoebe said, “Alright, I have told you everything you need to know.
This matter has nothing to do with me. However, I advise you that it is better to keep this matter to
yourself. Even without the support of the Conrad Group, do you think that Stella wouldn’t have the
chance to hold a special show in Fashion Week?”
Modesty gritted her teeth, if that was the case, she would definitely not be reconciled!
She said, “Thank you, Ms. Steward, for reminding me this. I know what to do.”
Hearing the hung-up tone coming from the other end of the line, Phoebe put down the phone and
stared at the screen. Then, the corner of her lips lifted.
She wanted to see how long Stella could be complacent.
Maybe she didn’t have to make a move at all, Stella would have been punished by her own doings.
On the other side…
After hanging up the phone, Modesty was at a loss. She didn’t know how to contact the Conrad family’s
people.
Moreover, when she exposed that Stella was kept by people from the Conrad family, she was already
at feud with them.
Although she was acquitted, Adolph had been watched by them since then, and if she delivered herself
to their door, she may be questioned by them about the reason of why she did this.
Modesty thought for a long time. She took the recorder and prepared several copies of the recording.
She put into a box and went to another place. She took out a phone number that Adolph gave to her
before and called a courier to send this to the Conrad family. She wrote on the box that it must be
opened personally by Dempsey.
After she finished doing this, Modesty breathed a sigh of relief. She was just about to take a taxi home
when she received a phone call.
Soon, Arthur’s dissatisfied voice came from the phone, “I’ve been waiting for you all night, when are
you coming?”
Modesty frowned in disgust and hung up directly. She blacklisted the number.
After thinking for a while, she called Adolph and her family again, but there was still no one answering
the call.
