After being “tortured” for a whole night, Stella didn’t get up until half-past ten the next morning.
It wasn’t early, so she didn’t go to the studio directly. Instead, she went back to the Stewards’ Mansion.
When she drove to the intersection where she had met Adolph, Stella thought for a few seconds.
Immediately, she turned the steering wheel and drove slowly along that road.
However, she only saw lawns along the road. There was no place for a human to stay at all.
To the end of the road, Stella saw a small lane next to the iron fence, leading in the distance. When she
was about to check on it, two men walked out from the lane.
Stella had met one of them in the Stewards’ Mansion before.
She didn’t continue parking over there, driving back along the road that she came over.
It turned out that Jeffrey should have been locked up here.
Arriving at the Stewards’ Mansion, Stella just walked on the stairs. Phoebe came out from her
bedroom. Looking at Stella, she snorted.
“It seems you’ve stayed outside overnight. Do you come back to change your clothes?”
Stella said indifferently, “I’ve already changed my clothes. Ms. Steward, thank you for your concern.”
As she spoke, she turned around and walked to her bedroom.
Phoebe gazed at her receding figure, pressing her lips while walking downstairs.
After getting in the car, the driver asked, “Miss, where are we going?”
Phoebe told him an address. She looked over at Stella’s car that was parked nearby, lost in thought.
Half an hour later, in a cafe.
Aurora came over with a handbag on her arm. She looked quite annoyed and said rudely, “I’m
extremely annoyed recently. Why did you ask me out?”
Phoebe took a sip of the coffee and said calmly, “I know you are annoyed, so I want you to relax here.
What’s wrong about it?”
Aurora sat opposite her and didn’t speak for a moment.
Her friends that she had known before either mocked her or hid from her.
Phoebe was the first friend who asked her out after that incident had happened.
Aurora ordered a drink, “Just directly speak if you want to tell me anything. I don’t have the patience to
beat around the bush with you.”
Phoebe put down the coffee mug, “You should drink something to get rid of the heat of your inner
body.”
Aurora snapped, “That bitch insisted on staying in our house instead of leaving. My father likes her so
much as if he’s blind. How can I relieve the heat by just a drink?”
“Aurora, you are quite smart usually, but why can’t you do anything when such a thing happens to
you?”
“What do you mean?”
Phoebe smiled, “In fact, it’s quite simple to kick that woman out. She has left your father for so many
years. Was she always alone? Even if she doesn’t have a child, she must have married before. As long
as you can find a man who had a relationship with her before and let him make a fuss in your father’s
presence, how will your father still be willing to keep that woman stay?”
Upon hearing it, Aurora frowned. It was indeed a good idea.
Earlier, she only made a fuss with her father and hit and cursed that woman, which made her father felt
sorrier for that woman and dislike her more.
After thinking for a moment, Aurora said, “Okay. I’ll ask someone to look into the matter after I go
home. If that works, I owe you a favor.”
Phoebe said, “We are a friend. That’s what friends are for. Please don’t mention it.”
Aurora added, “Since you asked me out, I don’t think you just wanted to help me. If you want me to
help you, please let me know. I’ll try my best.”
Phoebe picked up the small spoon and stirred the coffee gently. She said flatly, “You know Modesty
Parker, don’t you?”
Upon hearing her question, Aurora became alert immediately, “What do you mean?”
The matter that Modesty had bribed the judges of the contest was quite influential, but it was a grudge
between her and Arthur. Aurora had made arrangements ahead of time so that she wouldn’t be
dragged into the mere.
Besides, things that happened among them shouldn’t be known by Phoebe.
Phoebe said, “Relax. We’re on the same boat. I asked you the question because I’ve found
something.”
“What is it?”
“Do you know why that woman suddenly went to you and why almost everyone is hiding from you?”
Upon hearing it, Aurora frowned again, “Why?”
Phoebe curled up her lips, “It’s because Modesty Parker had ratted you out.”
“Impossible! She wouldn’t be so bold! Besides, if Clarence Conrad knew I’ve done that thing, he would
so easily...”
As she spoke, Aurora paused, frowning more deeply, “Do you mean Modesty Parker ratted me out to
Clarence Conrad, and Clarence Conrad found that woman to take revenge on me on purpose?”
“You should ask Modesty Parker for details. As far as I know, she ratted out to Dempsey Conrad. As for
whether he has told Clarence about it, I have no idea. If you don’t believe me, you can go home and
ask your father if recently the Conrad family has suppressed the Barton Group.”
Aurora was also clear - Conrad Group and the Conrad family were different. The former meant
Clarence and the latter meant Dempsey.
She said, “But, even if I did bribe the judges, I did it for dealing with Stella Radomil. Why would the
Conrad family target me?”
Phoebe said, “Don’t you know what a big loss that the Conrad family has suffered? Of course,
Dempsey Conrad must vent his anger. Hence, he found Modesty Parker who gave him the recorder,
and Modesty Parker ratted you out for passing the buck.”
The more Aurora listened to her, the more confused she got, “How did you know the recorder was
given to Dempsey Conrad by Modesty Parker?”
Phoebe answered, “I have my information channel. If you don’t believe me, I can’t do anything.”
How could Aurora not believe her? She always sensed something wrong when that woman showed up.
Immediately, she stood up and snapped, “I’ll go teach Modesty Parker a lesson!”
Phoebe didn’t stop her. Leaning against her chair, she picked up the coffee mug and took a sip, gazing
at her receding figure.
Since Modesty wanted everyone to be doomed and even dragged her into the mere, Phoebe wouldn’t
let go of her so easily.
Now, she made Aurora teach Modesty a lesson, which was an excellent choice.
Out of the cafe, Aurora directly told her driver to drive to Modesty’s apartment. However, she pressed
the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered the door.
Aurora yelled at the door, “Modesty Parker, you are truly something! How dare you trick me! You’d
better die behind the door and never come out. Don’t show up in front of me again. Otherwise, you are
so doomed!”
Because of her yell, the neighbors next door opened the door and watched the scene in curiosity.
Aurora glared at the neighbor, “What are you looking at? Something rotten is staying in this room. She
deserved to go to hell!”
On the back way home, she hired a private detective. Upon what Phoebe had told her, she asked the
detective to find out what that woman had been doing over the years.
