A week later, Stella officially signed a contract with Louis. The special brand performance would be
held in September, which was six months later. So she had enough time to make preparation.
After the signing ceremony, Louis sent Stella to the door and said with pity, “I didn’t expect that there
were many accidents in this contest. As for the two judges… Ms. Radomil, please feel free to contact
me if you need my favor in the future.”
Although they were clear that the two judges didn’t ensure the fairness of the contest, they still couldn’t
find out any evidence to prove that they had been bribed in the contest. So this matter could only end
up like this.
Stella smiled lightly, “You’re so courteous. No matter what, I should thank you for giving me this
opportunity.”
Louis said, “The chance is not given by me. It’s what you initially deserved.”
They exchanged several sentences and then Stella left.
Looking at her back, Louis’ eyes were full of praise.
Soon after Stella came back to her studio, an unexpected guest came.
Arthur still had a gauze bandage on his head, but this didn’t hinder him from looking around impolitely.
When seeing Stella, he immediately wore a smile, “As for Modesty, what’s your next plan?”
Stella looked at him blandly. She didn’t ask her employee to pour a glass of water for Arthur; instead,
she asked, “What do you mean?”
Arthur leaned against the sofa and stretched his arms on the back of the sofa, “Come on, I’m not an
outsider. Modesty had brought many troubles to you. Will you let go of her easily?”
“Whether to let go of her, it’s my own business. Does it have anything to do with you?”
Arthur didn’t feel embarrassed when hearing her unreserved words. Instead, he said with a smile, “Of
course it has something to do with me. Look, I’m now living so miserably because of her, so we have a
shared enemy. How about this? I propose you to discuss with me on how to plot against Phoebe so
that she will not be able to stage a comeback in the rest of her life.”
Stella relied, “You’ve been dismissed from the design community. But comparing to this, what you care
more is to plot against Modesty?”
“Alas,” Arthur waved his hands as if he didn’t care about it, “It’s not a big deal. Does it matter even
though they cancelled my qualification as a designer? Many people will still ask me to design for them
with a great reward and they’re now queening up for the chance. Who will care about that? It’s okay as
long as I can still earn money.”
“Looks like you’ve earned a lot from this matter.”
Arthur chuckled, “Of course, it’s a gamble of my career. If there wasn’t enough reward, who would
agree to do this?”
When speaking, he looked around Stella’s studio again, “I have to say that your studio looks good. I’m
also pondering of opening my studio recently. Do you have any good suggestion? Do you consider
having a franchised store? Rest assured, I will give you the dividend you deserve.”
Stella looked at him silently, “Looks like Aurora is quite generous.”
“That’s…”
Arthur suddenly paused and there was a slight change in his expression.
He coughed, “Who did you mention just not?”
Stella spoke slowly, “Aurora. Do you forget her so soon?”
“Ms… Ms. Barton, right? Seems like she was a specially-invited judge of the contest. I remember her.
Of course I remember her.”
Stella smiled. She didn’t probe into this topic and just said, “I will go on with my work if you don’t have
any matter. Sorry, I can’t see you off.”
“Don’t be in a hurry.” Arthur stopped her, “I’m serious on the franchised store. You can consider it. Let’s
add each other’s WeChat account first, and we may discuss it in detail later.”
“Sorry, I’m not interested in it.”
After finishing the words, Stella stood up and directly walked into her office.
Looking at her back, Arthur narrowed his eyes.
This woman was beautiful, smart and characteristic. Most importantly, she was Clarence’s woman.
If he could get her, he was sure that Stella would be more interesting than that bitch Modesty.
After leaving the studio, Arthur got into the car and prepared to come home. He sneered as he
suddenly thought of something and typed a new address on the navigation system.
…
Modesty had been locking herself at home for several days. At present, Robert, Phoebe and Aurora all
abandoned her.
She even couldn’t get in touch with Adolph.
It seemed like she was abandoned by the whole world.
In a trance, she seemed to hear the ringing of doorbell.
Modesty lifted her head in the darkness and looked towards the door blankly.
The doorbell was still ringing. It was not her illusion.
Modesty hurriedly propped herself up from the ground. She said while opening the door, “Adolph, I
know that you will never abandon me. Last time I…”
Before she could finish the words, she found that the one standing at the door was not Adolph but the
other person.
She widened her eyes in horror. Flustered, she wanted to close the door. However, before she could
take any action, Arthur had broken into her house. He grabbed her hair and pulled her into the house.
Modesty screamed desperately. But at the next moment, Arthur squeezed her throat with great force
and her face instantly got red due to breathlessness.
Arthur’s look was so ferocious. When she was about to die, he finally let go of her.
However, before Modesty could take a breath, a hard slap landed on her face.
Arthur cursed, “Damn you little bitch. How dare you hire that man to kill me? Who do you think you’re? I
was so lucky that I didn’t die. From now on, I will let you suffer.”
He rammed something into the mouth, picked up the packaging tape on the table to tie her hands and
then tore apart her clothes rudely. He then mercilessly thrust his penis into her private part and rode on
her violently.
Modesty widened her eyes, yet she couldn’t even utter a syllable. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
When this was over, Arthur tossed her onto the ground and directly walked towards her bedroom.
Modesty finally pulled herself together and struggled to stand up, “What do you want to do? Get out of
my house. You can’t…”
Before she could finish the words, a hard slap landed on her face again and Modesty fell onto the
ground because of the force.
Arthur walked around her bedroom without scruples and threw all the trophies and the award-winning
works that Modesty cherished a lot onto the ground. He then stepped on them hard.
In an instant, all the valuable things in Modesty’s bedroom were broken into pieces.
Modesty glared at Arthur fiercely, “Karma will come to you.”
After venting his anger, Arthur stood in front of her, took out his phone and displayed a video. He said
complacently and furiously, “Did you think that all the videos were ruined? Expectantly, I still have their
copies.”
Watching at herself in the video, Modesty couldn’t help but scream.
But what she got was only Arthur’s complacent laughter.
Modesty suddenly stood up and pounced towards Arthur like crazy. But she was not a match for him in
strength. Arthur directly tossed her down. When she fell onto the ground, Arthur strode over her body
and spat on her while cursing, “What a back luck.”
After Arthur’s leaving, Modesty was still lying on the ground feebly for a long time. She looked at the
front blankly.
