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, âI didnât 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.â
Although they were clear that the two judges didnât ensure the fairness of the contest, they still couldnât 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, âYouâre so courteous. No matter what, I should thank you for giving me this opportunity.â
Louis said, âThe chance is not given by me. Itâs what you initially deserved.â
They exchanged several sentences and then Stella left.
Looking at her back, Louisâ 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 didnât hinder him from looking around impolitely.
When seeing Stella, he immediately wore a smile, âAs for Modesty, whatâs your next plan?â
Stella looked at him blandly. She didnât ask her employee to pour a glass of water for Arthur; instead, she asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Arthur leaned against the sofa and stretched his arms on the back of the sofa, âCome on, Iâm not an outsider. Modesty had brought many troubles to you. Will you let go of her easily?â
âWhether to let go of her, itâs my own business. Does it have anything to do with you?â
Arthur didnât feel embarrassed when hearing her unreserved words. Instead, he said with a smile, âOf course it has something to do with me. Look, Iâm 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.â
Stella relied, âYouâve been dismissed from the design community. But comparing to this, what you care more is to plot against Modesty?â
âAlas,â Arthur waved his hands as if he didnât care about it, âItâs 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 theyâre now queening up for the chance. Who will care about that?
Itâs okay as long as I can still earn money.â
âLooks like youâve earned a lot from this matter.â
Arthur chuckled, âOf course, itâs a gamble of my career. If there wasnât enough reward, who would agree to do this?â
When speaking, he looked around Stellaâs studio again, âI have to say that your studio looks good. Iâm 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.â
Stella looked at him silently, âLooks like Aurora is quite generous.â
âThatâs...â
Arthur suddenly paused and there was a slight change in his expression.
He coughed, âWho did you mention just not?â
Stella spoke slowly, âAurora. Do you forget her so soon?â
âMs... Ms. Barton, right? Seems like she was a specially-invited judge of the contest. I remember her. Of course I remember her.â
Stella smiled. She didnât probe into this topic and just said, âI will go on with my work if you donât have any matter. Sorry, I canât see you off.â
âDonât be in a hurry.â Arthur stopped her, âIâm serious on the franchised store. You can consider it. Letâs add each otherâs WeChat account first, and we may discuss it in detail later.â
âSorry, Iâm not interested in it.â
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 Clarenceâs 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 couldnât 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, âAdolph, I know that you will never abandon me. Last time I...â
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.
Arthurâs 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, âDamn you little bitch. How dare you hire that man to kill me? Who do you think youâre? I was so lucky that I didnât die. From now on, I will let you suffer.â
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 couldnât 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.

Get out of my house. You canât...â
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 Modestyâs bedroom were broken into pieces.
Modesty glared at Arthur fiercely, âKarma will come to you.â
After venting his anger, Arthur stood in front of her, took out his phone and displayed a video. He said complacently and furiously, âDid you think that all the videos were ruined? Expectantly, I still have their copies.â
Watching at herself in the video, Modesty couldnât help but scream.
But what she got was only Arthurâs 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, âWhat a back luck.â
After Arthurâs leaving, Modesty was still lying on the ground feebly for a long time. She looked at the front blankly.
