Stella stared at her and said word by word, âWithout your preparation for this big show beforehand, how would there be an opportunity for me to perform myself?â
Phoebeâs expression changed instantly. Then, she sneered, âDonât be complacent too early.â
âIâm not complacent at all. After all, what Iâm doing now canât be compared to what youâve done.â Stella said indifferently, âActually, I have always wanted to ask you something, but I feel that Iâm asking knowingly. However, since weâve already come to this point, Iâll just ask you casually, I hope that you wonât mind.â
Phoebe crossed her arms around her chest and looked indifferent, as if she wanted to see what Stella would say.
Stella said, âYou are the one who told Annie about my pregnancy, arenât you?â
Phoebe responded calmly, âAccording to what youâve 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, Iâm 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.â
âPregnancy 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.â
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 Modestyâs voice came into her ears, âMs. Steward, I am Modesty.â
âWhatâs up?â
Modesty said cautiously, âI know you hate Stella too, so I...â
Phoebe said indifferently, âYou know?â
A sudden question made Modesty paused for a while. After a few seconds, she continued, âBefore that in SG, although you didnât say it out, but I could feel it. But donât get me wrong, Iâm not using this to threaten you. I have something in hand, and I think that you will be interested about it.â
âOh?â Phoebe sat on the sofa, âMaybe you have misunderstood me, I donât hate Stella a lot. Besides, she hasnât 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?â
Modesty bit her lips, âItâs like that, Ms. Steward. I just think that someone like Stella doesnât deserve all of this at all. She doesnât deserve to be loved by Mr. Conrad, nor does she deserve to live in the Steward familyâs house, let alone...â
Phoebe continued her words, âLet alone being worthy to win the designer competition?â
Modesty did not answer. It was no doubt that she was acquiescing.
Phoebe spoke casually, âBut the one who won the championship is you, isnât it? It seems that she really doesnât deserve it and she doesnât have that strength and ability to win.â
âIâll let you listen to a recording, and youâll understand everything.â
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.
Modestyâs voice couldnât help but get agitated a little, âThe 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. Doesnât you feel unfair?â
Phoebe said, âItâs a competition, whoever takes it seriously will be the one who loses.â
Modesty said again, âTo let the organizer to make such a decision, I feel that this is because of one person.â
âWho?â
âThe CEO of the Conrad Group.â
Phoebe said slowly, âWhy did you say so?â
Modesty said, âThe 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.â
âThatâs the Conrad Group, youâd better not say anything without evidence.â
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, âThe recording I have and the relationship between Stella and Mr. Conrad are the best evidence.â
Phoebe said, âWhat 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 Conradâs own media company.â
Modesty did not speak for a moment, but she realized a few key words from Phoebeâs 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, âAlright, 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 wouldnât have the chance to hold a special show in Fashion Week?â
Modesty gritted her teeth, if that was the case, she would definitely not be reconciled!
She said, âThank you, Ms. Steward, for reminding me this. I know what to do.â
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 didnât 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 didnât know how to contact the Conrad familyâs people.
Moreover, when she exposed that Stella was kept by people from the Conrad family, she was already at feud with them.
Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again ï¤Chapter 385: Told Me What You Wanted An Eight-year-old Princess ï¤Chapter 1410 Go And Return Quickly Critic ï¤Chapter 105: Missing Drake 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, Arthurâs dissatisfied voice came from the phone, âIâve been waiting for you all night, when are you coming?â
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.
