After being âtorturedâ for a whole night, Stella didnât get up until half-past ten the next morning.
It wasnât early, so she didnât go to the studio directly. Instead, she went back to the Stewardsâ 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 Stewardsâ Mansion before.
She didnât 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 Stewardsâ Mansion, Stella just walked on the stairs. Phoebe came out from her bedroom. Looking at Stella, she snorted.
âIt seems youâve stayed outside overnight. Do you come back to change your clothes?â
Stella said indifferently, âIâve already changed my clothes. Ms. Steward, thank you for your concern.â
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, âMiss, where are we going?â
Phoebe told him an address. She looked over at Stellaâs 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, âIâm extremely annoyed recently. Why did you ask me out?â
Phoebe took a sip of the coffee and said calmly, âI know you are annoyed, so I want you to relax here. Whatâs wrong about it?â
Aurora sat opposite her and didnât 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, âJust directly speak if you want to tell me anything. I donât have the patience to beat around the bush with you.â
Phoebe put down the coffee mug, âYou should drink something to get rid of the heat of your inner body.â
Aurora snapped, âThat bitch insisted on staying in our house instead of leaving. My father likes her so much as if heâs blind. How can I relieve the heat by just a drink?â
âAurora, you are quite smart usually, but why canât you do anything when such a thing happens to you?â
âWhat do you mean?â
Phoebe smiled, âIn fact, itâs quite simple to kick that woman out. She has left your father for so many years. Was she always alone? Even if she doesnât 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 fatherâs presence, how will your father still be willing to keep that woman stay?â
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, âOkay. Iâll ask someone to look into the matter after I go home. If that works, I owe you a favor.â
Phoebe said, âWe are a friend. Thatâs what friends are for. Please donât mention it.â
Aurora added, âSince you asked me out, I donât think you just wanted to help me. If you want me to help you, please let me know. Iâll try my best.â
Phoebe picked up the small spoon and stirred the coffee gently. She said flatly, âYou know Modesty Parker, donât you?â
Upon hearing her question, Aurora became alert immediately, âWhat do you mean?â
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 wouldnât be dragged into the mere.
Besides, things that happened among them shouldnât be known by Phoebe.
Phoebe said, âRelax. Weâre on the same boat. I asked you the question because Iâve found something.â
âWhat is it?â
âDo you know why that woman suddenly went to you and why almost everyone is hiding from you?â
Upon hearing it, Aurora frowned again, âWhy?â
Phoebe curled up her lips, âItâs because Modesty Parker had ratted you out.â
âImpossible! She wouldnât be so bold! Besides, if Clarence Conrad knew Iâve done that thing, he would so easily...â
As she spoke, Aurora paused, frowning more deeply, âDo you mean Modesty Parker ratted me out to Clarence Conrad, and Clarence Conrad found that woman to take revenge on me on purpose?â
âYou 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 donât believe me, you can go home and ask your father if recently the Conrad family has suppressed the Barton Group.â
Aurora was also clear - Conrad Group and the Conrad family were different. The former meant Clarence and the latter meant Dempsey.
She said, âBut, even if I did bribe the judges, I did it for dealing with Stella Radomil. Why would the Conrad family target me?â
Phoebe said, âDonât 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.â
The more Aurora listened to her, the more confused she got, âHow did you know the recorder was given to Dempsey Conrad by Modesty Parker?â
Phoebe answered, âI have my information channel. If you donât believe me, I canât do anything.â
How could Aurora not believe her? She always sensed something wrong when that woman showed up.
Immediately, she stood up and snapped, âIâll go teach Modesty Parker a lesson!â
Phoebe didnât 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 wouldnât 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 Modestyâs apartment. However, she pressed the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered the door.

How dare you trick me! Youâd better die behind the door and never come out.
Donât show up in front of me again. Otherwise, you are so doomed!â
Because of her yell, the neighbors next door opened the door and watched the scene in curiosity.
Aurora glared at the neighbor, âWhat are you looking at? Something rotten is staying in this room. She deserved to go to hell!â
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.
