After arriving at the hospital, Stella asked a nurse about which ward Arthur was in. She thanked the
nurse and then walked towards the direction.
Some police officers were recording Arthur’s words in his ward.
Seeing this, Stella decided not to walk in and waited at the door.
Twenty minutes later, the police officers left.
Stella knocked at the door. At the next moment, Arthur’s impatient voice sounded from inside, “Haven’t
I made I it clear. What else…”
Before he finished his words, Stella showed up in front of her.
The fretfulness on Arthur’s face immediately disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and asked
meaningfully, “How comes it’s you?”
Stella said, “I come here to ask you a question.”
“It’s related to the Young Designers’ Contest, right?” Arthur said, “What I said is true. I helped Modesty
cheat in the competition and she bribed the judges. There are certain evidences.”
Stella smiled and sat on the sofa of the ward, “Since you’ve said so, I want to ask you a question.
Based on Modesty’s experience and social status, she can at most bribe you. How could she bribe the
two judges?”
Arthur had prepared an explanation for her doubts. He said, “You also know that Robert is her teacher.
Robert has a good relationship with the two judges, plus that he has been wishing that Modesty would
win the competition so that she would not disgrace him, it’s just a piece of cake for Robert to help her
bride the judges.”
“Oh, based on your words, if Robert wishes Modesty to win the contest, how would he tell you that he’s
bribed the other two judges?”
Arthur didn’t expect that she would ask this. But he quickly reacted, “Of course I misheard it. Walls
have ears.”
Stella continued, “Do you want to say that Modesty wanted to kill you because she found that you had
known that they bribed the judges.”
Arthur couldn’t find a proper explanation for this question before. But hearing Stella’s question, he
made use of it and said, “Yeah, that’s the case. That bitch is so crazy and wants to be famous. She
even used such an evil trick. If not so, you should be the champion of this contest. I really feel pitiful for
you.”
Stella raised her brows. She didn’t know which part of his words was true and which part was
falsehood.
Several seconds later, Stella spoke again. She didn’t beat around the bush with him and came straight
to the point, “Do you remember how the person who injured you before looks like?”
The police officers also asked this question just now.
Arthur narrowed his eyes. There was a touch of suspicion in his eyes. “Why do you ask this?”
Stella replied in a flat tone, “Modesty has plotted against me secretly for numerous times before this. I
want to know whether the person she hired to injure you is the person that hurt me before.”
Arthur didn’t doubt this. All the designers in the design community knew that Modesty had a poor
relationship with Stella. It wouldn’t take great effort if they wanted to know what Modesty had done in
SG.
Arthur thought that Stella was at his side and said, “He wore a hat and I couldn’t see his face clearly,
but…”
He knitted his brows, trying to memorizing that man’s appearance.
Stella asked, “He has a scar on his face, right? From his left eye to his chin.”
When hearing her reminder, Arthur hurriedly nodded his head, “Yeah, that’s it! That’s it!”
After getting the answer, Stella didn’t plan to stay here any longer. She stood up and prepared to leave.
Arthur stopped her, “If you want to know any news about Modesty, please feel free to come to me. I will
try my best to be cooperative.”
Stella turned around and took a glance at him when she heard the words, “You should thank god for
being still alive.”
After finishing the words, she directly left the ward.
Looking at her back, Arthur snorted and then took out a newly-bought phone from under his pillow. He
clicked the documents that he stored on the cloud storage before, his smile becoming more and more
ferocious. He had uploaded the videos onto the cloud storage. This was enough to ruin Modesty.
…
After leaving the hospital, Stella drove back. But she was absent-minded all the way.
Judging from the current situation, the one that attacked Arthur that day must be Adolph.
It meant that Adolph probably had managed to escape from Charles’ confinement.
But where was Adolph now?
If she wanted to find Jeffrey, she must find Adolph first.
When thinking of this, Stella stepped on the brake and made a U-turn.
…
Modesty had been brought to the police for regular inquiry.
But no matter what the police officers asked, she still refused to admit that she had attacked Arthur.
The surveillance video of the hotel and the fingerprints left in the room all couldn’t be the evidence
pointing to her.
But as she was a suspect at present, she could not leave the police directly. She needed a bail.
Modesty called Robert. But just as the phone rang, it was hung up soon.
Modesty was stunned and called him again.
But his time, it showed that she couldn’t connect him.
Unwilling to accept this, Modesty tried again and again, yet the results were the same.
She bit her lower lip hard. She had no choice and dialed the number of her phone. But she didn’t know
that the one who could answer the call had left this world.
Listening to the busy tone which seemed to never stop, Modesty finally had a mental breakdown. She
slammed her phone onto the wall.
When the phone fell down, a person slowly appeared in her vision.
Stella looked at her calmly with coldness in her eyes.
…
Modesty didn’t expect that when she was cornered, the one who bailed her out of the police would be
Stella.
After walking out of police, Stella stopped, turned around and looked at Modesty, “I just have one
question.”
Modesty clenched her fists tightly and remained silent.
Stella continued, “Where’s Adolph?”
Modesty replied after a long while of silence, “I… I don’t know.”
Stella said coldly, “I can walk into the police now and tell them that the one who attacked Arthur before
was Adolph. What do you think of the possibility of you being bailed out from the police again?”
Modesty’s face became stiff and she was gradually overwhelmed by horror.
She bit her lower lip, “I… I really don’t know it. After that day, I told him not to come to find me again.”
Stella couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, “He has helped you a lot. And this is what you return to him?”
“Did I have any choice? He and I are the different kinds of people. Moreover, he had been followed by
some men that day. He knew that he might put me in danger, yet he still came to find me.” Modesty got
excited, “Moreover, what did he help me? He even didn’t handle Arthur well. Look at what I’m suffering
now. It’s all because of him!”
“You’re so good at finding excuses. Haven’t you ever blamed yourself for all of these?”
Modesty shouted desperately, her eyes red, “I’m under such a situation and you don’t need to satirize
at me now. I admit that I cheated in the Young Designers’ Contest. But many people hate you. Do you
think that you will be the champion if I haven’t played the trick?”
