After a while, Emmett appeared in Stella's office.
Stella said to the assistant who led him in, "Please make two cups of coffee."
When the assistant was about to receive the order, Emmett said, "Donât bother. I'll be leaving soon."
The assistant looked towards Stella. Stella nodded and then the assistant closed the door and left.
Emmett sat in front of Stella and put down the Kraft paper bag, âStella, everything you want is here."
"Thank you." Stella rubbed her temples, âI should have taken it by myself, but I didnât have time..."
Emmett laughed, âIt doesnât matter. It happens that I have to come here to deal with a matter, so itâs convenient for me to bring the thing here to you. I heard about the trouble caused by Armand. I also inquired others about this matter on the way here. The company which had a negotiation with Armand last night is a new company which was established two months ago. Itâs said that its boss is an overseas Chinese and no one has seen him."
Stella frowned slightly, âDo you mean this company may be weird?"
Emmett nodded, âAlthough Armand is a total scumbag, it's not the first time for him to do such a thing. He becomes especially and prudent after the crisis of the Steward Group. How would he allow such an accident to happen?"
Stella pressed her lips slightly, âBut last time he and another senior of the Steward Group forced Madison to drink wine and I witnessed the scene.
They wanted to...take her away."
"That happened when Madison's husband was in a trouble, right? If you weren't there that day, who knows what would happen? Madison went to him for help. Even if she called the police after that, he could still shift the blame to her. Or, if he agreed to help Madison, Madison would probably compromise to it under his coercion and temptation for the sake of her husbandâs future.â
Stella's hands, which were placed on the table, were slowly clenched into fists, and her brows were furrowed tightly.
Emmett continued, âSo, this time the victim not only did not accept his coercion and temptation but also planned to spread this scandal. There could be only two causes â maybe they didnât arrange this well in advance, or maybe all this is a trap.â
After a pause, Emmett said again, âStella, what do you think of the cause? Which one is more likely?"
Stella frowned, âI would rather believe that that girl was coerced, but..."
But what Emmett said was right. That bastard, Armand, is very experienced in such a thing and he would not make such a low-level mistake.
Right at this moment, there came a string of knocking sounds on the door, and the assistant said, âMs. Radomil, Mr. Bernard is already downstairs."
Emmett stood up and said, "Stella, then I'll leave first. Call me if you have any problem."
Stella nodded, âOkay, thank you."
"Youâre welcomed."
After Emmettâs leaving, Stella opened the Kraft paper bag in front of her and took out Armand's information from it.
Ten minutes later, Armand entered Stella's office with displeasure written all over his face. He said opposite to her and said unceremoniously, "Ms.
Radomil, why do you look for me in such a hurry."
Stella smiled, âMr. Bernard, did bother your rest?"
Seeing the smile on Stellaâs face, Armand's anger was relieved a little, âI was not having a rest. Itâs just that I donât think I should deal with anything in the company..."
"You donât have to deal with anything?"
Armand said, âNow you are solely responsible for the company's affairs. What can I do?"
Stella said lightly, âThen Mr. Bernard, do you mean that since Iâm solely responsible for the company's affairs, you can shift the blame for the evil thing you did to the company and let me solve it?"
Armand thought her words were not pleasant to ears, but he was the one who did something wrong, so he couldn't refute it. He just said, "It's not a big deal. She just wants money. Just give her some money and it will be settled easily."
"Some money? Mr. Bernard, how much do you mean?"
Armand said impatiently, âThat woman just wants a larger sum of money. Just ignore her for several days and she will not be so greedy. She will accept it no matter how much we give her."
Armand said disdainfully, âSheâs young, but it seems like sheâs not well-educated and likes to play tricks.â
Stella said coldly, âYou also know that she is young. Mr. Bernard, sheâs only two or three years older than your daughter."
Armand said, âIt was she who seduced me. I had no choice.â
âIf she was willing, why does she make a fuss now?â
Armand was lost for words and stiffened.
He drank some wine last night. Although that girlâs attitude was ambiguous, the representative of that company told him that they had arranged it.
Therefore, he didnât think too much of it and thought it was a kind of excitement. Unexpectedly, due to this negligence, he was trapped.
Those peopleâs target was to get his money. Armand, of course, would not surrender to them. He left this problem to Stella and this was his best choice.
This was related to the reputation of the Steward Group and Stella wouldnât turn a blind eye to it.
Stella said, âMr. Bernard, how do you plan to solve this matter?"
"What nonsense are you asking? I said it: just give her some money..."
"How much should we give her? Mr. Bernard, please give me a specific number so that I can let the financial accountant deal with it. I hope Mr.
Bernard can solve this before this afternoon."
Armand was stunned, âWhat do you mean?"
Stella's expression remained unchanged, âIt means, Mr. Bernard, please remit the money to the account of the company. Didnât Mr. Bernard want me to help you solve this matter? To be frank, Iâm just running a small studio and donât have too much money. Therefore, I canât pay this for you, Mr.
Bernard.â
Armand sneered, âYou donât have money? How can it be possible? Clarence will give you..."
"I understand what Mr. Bernard means. You want to borrow money from Conrad Group. That's fine. I will hold a press conference this afternoon to borrow money for you in the name of the Steward Group. It can be regarded as an IOW, which means that we will pay it back later, and we will not repudiate the debt."
Armand stood up abruptly, âWhat do you mean by holding a press conference?"
Stella leaned back in the office chair and said unhurriedly, âNaturally, we should make things clear before borrowing money. Otherwise, why should the Conrad Group lend us money? But Mr. Bernard, you can rest assured. I believe that as long as everyone can understand your difficulties, they will lend money to you."
Armand was so angry at her, âYou...you..."

Stella directly made an internal call, âLet Logan in."
"Okay."
Less than a minute later, Logan appeared in the office, âMs. Radomil, whatâs the matter?"
Stella said, âPlease arrange a press conference for me."
Logan was confused, âWhat's the content of the press conference?"
"Mr. Bernard wants to borrow money from Conrad Group. It's not easy to borrow money for nothing. Holding a press conference is equivalent to making an IOU."
Logan looked at Armand, âMr. Bernard..."
Armand banged his palm on the desk and went into a rage, âI will now let the financial accountant transfer one million from my account to your bank card. Is this okay?â
Stella smiled and slowly said, "Twenty million."
"Impossible! You..."
Stella said to Logan, âSet the conference at two o'clock."
