As she spoke, Annie raised her hand. When she was about to slap Stella, her wrist was grabbed by the latter. Before she came back to her senses, she received a slap across her face violently.
Annie widened her eyes in disbelief. She yelled in a harsh voice, âYou hit me! How dare you hit me! Stella Radomil, you...â
Stella looked at her expressionless, âOr what? Should I ask you to sit down and have a cup of tea?â
Annie roared towards her men outside, âWhat are you waiting for? Are you blind?â
Upon hearing her roar, several men entered the studio immediately.
Annie pushed away Stella forcibly. With a fierce look, she yelled, âSmash it! Smash everything! Donât leave her anything!â
Stella, however, was extremely calm. She cast careless glances at those men who were ready to take the action, âI donât know if you are working for the Conrad family or the Perez family. As long as you have the balls to smash my studio, I wouldnât let go of you so easily. If anyone needs to be held responsible at that time, probably Annie Conrad wouldnât be punished, but none of you could escape.â
Those men exchanged glances with each other. For a moment, they stood motionlessly and hesitated. They dared not to start any movement.
They were all working for the Conrad family, brought here by Annie. They listened to Joannaâs orders, but they also knew that Stella was Clarenceâs ex-wife. Although the Conrad family didnât like her, Annie wasnât that important to the Conrad family, either.
In case they had taken the action and Stella went to the Conrad family to make a fuss, the Conrad family might not do anything to Annie, but instead, they would be punished for it.
Seeing that they were hesitant, Annie shouted herself hoarsely, âDo you really think she could do anything to you? Sheâs a shameless bitch. Nobody in the Conrad family cares about her. Nobody cares if sheâs dead or alive. If you donât listen to me now, Iâll tell Aunt Joanna right now. You all will suffer!â
Right then, a figure entered the studio.
Emmett took a glance at them and walked to Stella. He asked, âStella, whatâs going on?â
Stella answered indifferently, âNothing. Just a lunatic is making a scene here with her men.â
Emmett looked over at Annie, frowning secretly. He realized that he must have seen the woman somewhere before.
After a moment, he asked, âAre you Miss Conrad?â
Annie glanced at him, looking quite ironic and disdainful, âWhat are you? Who do you think you are to speak to me?â
Then she turned to Stella and said disdainfully, âYou never lack man, do you? Even calling you shameless is a compliment to you.â
Emmett didnât take it seriously, but he looked colder, âMy name is Emmett Carter, from Star Ferry Technology. Miss Conrad, itâs alright if you disdain me. Please send my message to your father - I donât think Star Ferry Technology is qualified enough to cooperate with him. Please ask him to find others to work on those projects he discussed with me before.â
Annie looked quite irritated, âWhat is Star Ferry Technology? Now you know itâs not qualified, youâd better fuck off. Donât waste my time here.â
Stella said, âAnnie Conrad, you only have thirty seconds to get out from here.â
âThink you can threaten me, huh? Your backer is that bastard. Heâs not in City N now. What can you do to me?â
Stella smiled faintly, âIf not mistaken, I guess Justin has warned you to leave me in peace.â
Upon hearing that, Annie gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes full of hatred.
She finally managed to find the chance that Clarence was out of City N, but someone from the damned Star Ferry Technology suddenly showed up and ruined her plan. Now, Stella even threatened her with Justin.
If Justin knew that she came to make trouble to Stella in secret, he would scold her again. At that time, Aunt Joanna would take his side as well.
However, Annie wasnât reluctant to just leave in this way.
Right then, Sherry came out of the office, âYou can stay if you donât want to leave. Anyway, Iâve called the police. You can have some tea with them in the police station.â
Annie sneered, âI wonât let go of you so easily. Just wait and see!â
When Annie left with her men, the studio returned to peace.
Stella looked over at Emmett, âSorry for bothering with such a farce.â
Emmett shook his head, âIâve heard that Miss Conrad is arrogant and unreasonable for a long time. Now I met her today, the rumor turns out to be real.â
Sherry said, âSheâs just a madwoman, making trouble to everyone.â
After a pause, she added, âOh, you said youâre cooperating with her father just now. Are you working with the Conrad family? If you called off your cooperation, would it be a loss for you?â
Emmett smiled, âNo, not with the Conrad family. I wonât suffer any loss to stop the cooperation with them. They should be worried about it.â
Actually, anyone who knew the Conrad family would know that although Annieâs surname was Conrad, her parents were not any member of the Conrad family.
Annieâs father married into and live with the Perez family and inherited the family fortune. However, because he was good at doing business, the family suffered a lot of losses in the past few years. If it werenât that the Conrad family was their backer, the Perez family would have disappeared long ago. In recently, Clarence seemed to suppress the Perez family as well.
Annieâs father had spent a lot of effort and contacted a lot of people in his network to obtain a chance to cooperate with Star Ferry Technology.
Emmett couldnât refuse for the sake of their mutual contact, so he had to agree.
Fortunately, after Annie made the scene, he got the chance to refuse them.
Sherry exhaled, âThatâs good, then.â
As she spoke, she glanced at Stella secretly. Then she rapidly rolled her eyes, âWell... Stella, why donât you show Emmett around our studio? Iâll go buy some coffee.â
Stella understood immediately what she was planning to do. She pulled Sherry to stop and faintly smiled, âSherry, no bother. Just order some takeouts.â
âWell...â
Emmett also echoed, âI just happened to pass by, so I came to check on you girls. Iâll leave pretty soon.â
Upon hearing it, Sherry was anxious, âWhy are you leaving so soon? Thanks for your help today. We should treat you for dinner.â
Stella thought for a moment and echoed, âIf you are not quite busy, why donât we have dinner together?â
No matter what, if Emmett hadnât shown up today, according to Annieâs character, she would have made a farce. In that case, she would damage her studio. Even if the police arrived later, the damage couldnât be saved.
Besides, he canceled the cooperation, which would definitely cause a certain loss for him unlike what he said.

Upon hearing their words, Emmett didnât refuse anymore. He slightly nodded in agreement, âAll right.â
