Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Stella came back to the Steward family at now. When she prepared to come upstairs, Charles walked

out from the study and said expressionlessly, “I remember I told you before that the Steward family has

its own rules. Since you’re now living here, you should abide to its rules.”

Stella said with a smile, “Mr. Steward, you’re right. It’s my bad that I don’t have a good memory and

forget it. But thanks to you reminder, I will definitely remember it this time.”

Charles pulled his face when he heard the words.

Stella continued, “Mr. Steward, I’ve clarified that matter as you wish. When will you fulfill your promise?”

Charles said, “Do you think that your clarification is worthy?”

“Mr. Steward, I feel wrong when hearing you say so.” Stella said with an innocent expression and

talked irresponsibly with a serious face, “I asked a top-class attorney to write the statement for me. He

told me that considering the statement would be posted not on behalf of myself, but on behalf of the

whole studio, so I should think over it to reduce the influence to every party to minimum. After

consideration and thinking over every word, I posted such an official statement.”

She easily shifted the blame to Donald.

Charles knitted his brows. Stella didn’t know whether he believed in her words or not, but all in all, his

expression was still hideous.

Stella continued, “Mr. Steward, I’m still running my own store. This matter has attracted numerous

attentions on the Internet. No matter what, those people are defending me. If I side Ms. Steward

openly, they will become unsatisfied with me. Initially many people doubt that I was bribed or

threatened. If I do so, I’ll only prove their assumptions.”

“Mr. Steward, you’re also a businessman and I think you can understand why I chose to post such a

statement.”

Charles narrowed his eyes. He underestimated her before and hadn’t expected that she was so

scheming.

He sneered, “Looks like many people are backing you and they’ve provided some good advices to

you.”

Stella replied, “Not that many. I knew them in work and life. Of course I’m inferior to Ms. Steward as

she can achieve everything by money.”

Charles knew that she was implying happened before. With a cold face, he came back to his room

without saying a word again.

When there came the sound of door closing, Stella withdrew her lines of sights. The smile on her face

gradually disappeared as she walked upstairs.

Early in the next morning, when Stella just arrived at the studio, she received many messages. Before

she could take a glance of them, Sherry rushed into the studio, panting, “Stella, good news, good

news!”

Stella asked tentatively, “Is the mall having a 20% discount for all goods?”

Sherry, “…”

Sherry said, “What no sense are you talking about? Haven’t seen the news on Weibo?”

“I prepare to browse it. What’s the matter?”

“Arthur Barnett, the one who took part in the Young Designers’ Contest. Do you remember him?”

Stella nodded her head, “I remember. What’s wrong with him?”

Sherry said, “He posted a Weibo twenty minutes ago, accusing Modesty of cheating in the completion.

He also posted the evidence of the transfer from Modesty. Moreover, he said that the reason why

Modesty could win the championship of the Young Designers’ Contest was that she bribed the two

judges! What’s more, he directly pointed out the two judges’ names.”

Stella paused when she heard the words.

She talked about this matter with Louis last night. And it was solved so quickly?

Right at this moment, Stella’s phone rang. It was a call from Louis.

But Louis told her that he didn’t know in advance about Arthur’s post. Moreover, he hadn’t gotten in

touch with him.

When Stella ended the call, Sherry continued, “Stella, oh new, he published a new post on Weibo.”

When seeing Arthur’s post, many people who criticized Stella before doubted the authenticity of his

post, and some people even put forward some conspiracy assumptions, thinking that Arthur tried to

restore Phoebe’s reputation by shifting the blame to Modesty as he had been bribed by the Conrad

Group.

But Arthur had prepared for these doubts. He directly posted the voice recording he recorded in the car

when Modesty came to him and asked him to help her cheat in the contest.

The recording clearly recorded Modesty’s words. He asked Arthur to intimate her style to create a

design according to the requirements of the semi-final competition.

Arthur posed another post right after this. It was a photo taken when he was sent to the hospital. In the

photo, he was bleeding. Moreover, there was also a medical record from the doctor.

Arthur claimed that Modesty tried to murder him because she wanted to eliminate all evidence and

witness. After surviving from the murder, Arthur realized that he couldn’t hold the candle to the devil

and help Modesty any longer, so he decided to expose Modesty’s real face and thoroughly reform

himself and start a new life later.

The three consecutives pushed this matter to the climax.

The organizer of the contest and the official account of the Conrad Group successively published a

post, saying that they were paying great attention to this matter and that they would call the police to

deal with this matter.

After browsing these posts, Sherry heaved a long sigh, “What’s that old saying? Oh, good and evil will

always be rewarded, and it is only a question of time. Phoebe and Modesty’s evildoings are exposed

successively, it’s really cheering!”

Stella supported her cheek with one hand and said slowly, “Normally, Modesty is a prudent person.

Now that she has given Arthur a large sum of money, how would she murder him just for eliminating

evidence and witness? Moreover, she herself is not a match for Arthur. Unless…”

Stella suddenly realized something and abruptly paused.

Sherry didn’t find out anything weird. She said, “They two must have some other secret transactions. I

guess that they must have had a conflict and therefore they fought against each other. Leave it alone. It

has nothing to do with us and we can just stand by and watch the show.”

Stella came to her own sense and nodded her head as if she had thought of something.

An hour later, Modesty also published a post on Weibo.

But to their surprises, she admitted that she had cheated in the contest and that she asked Arthur to

help her just because of her selfish wish. She apologized to the organizer of the competition for having

impacting the fairness of the competition and said that she would give up the ranking and reward.

But except for these, she refused to admit the accusation of bribing the judges and murdering Arthur,

claiming that Arthur tried to frame her because he thought he didn’t get enough remuneration from her.

They had few fans, yet all of their fans argued excitedly on the Internet.

What a show!

But Stella didn’t want to pay attention to the process any longer, she just wanted to wait for the result.

Nevertheless…

She pondered for a while and decided to come to the hospital to visit Arthur in the afternoon.

If what Arthur said was true, then the one who attacked him before was probably Adolph.

Modesty was prudent and what’s more, she was afraid of bearing any responsibility. Therefore, it was

impossible for her to take such a huge risk to hire someone to murder Arthur.

Moreover, Arthur was 1.8 meters high and was strong. Few people would be able to injure him

seriously with only one blow.

Then there would be only one possibility.
