Stella didn’t speak again while holding the glass.
Caesar looked at the bench and asked, “Would you mind if I sat down here?”
Stella said, “Of course. It’s a public bench.”
Caesar tidied his clothes and sat down, “Ms. Radomil, you are a jewellery designer. I guess you must be pretty
familiar with the jewellery in the exhibition.”
“Mr. James, you’ve thought highly of me indeed. I haven’t seen most of them before.” After a pause, she asked,
“Mr. James, has your car been repaired?”
Caesar answered, “Yes, it has. There was only a scratch on the painting. Not a big deal. Ms. Radomil, please don’t
take it to your heart.”
After a moment of silence, Stella suddenly said, “Mr. James, I remember you said you came to City N because
something had happened to Riverside City earlier. I wonder if you have got the information you wanted.”
Caesar probably hadn’t expected that she was so straightforward. After a few seconds, he laughed and said, “Ms.
Radomil, your words seem to have implications.”
Stella said, “I just don’t think it’s necessary to beat around the bush. Mr. James, we both know who has something
to do with the incident in Riverside City. Since you came to town with the purpose, I believe I must get an answer
from you.”
“Yes, Ms. Radomil, you are right. I cam to City N to know more details. So far, I’ve found almost all the information I
need. I also have answers to my questions earlier.
“However, please don’t worry, Ms. Radomil. I came to City N not targeting Conrad Group or Clarence Conrad. I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthave a plan to develop my business here. Hence, I came to town for cooperation negotiation as well. Recently, I’m
negotiating with a few companies. When it’s done, I’ll leave City N,” said Caesar.
Stella pressed her lips slightly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to send you away.”
Caesar put on a gentle smile, “I understand. I know after you’ve experienced so many ups and downs, you are
quite alert to strangers, Ms. Radomil. It happens. After I leave City N, the only thing that worries me will be Elaine.
She’s not willing to go back to Riverside City, so I’m afraid you need to take care of her for another period, Ms.
Radomil.”
After they sat outside for a while, they heard noises from the exhibition center.
Thinking that Elaine was still inside, Stella immediately stood up and walked in, aiming to find out what was
happening.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she heard the onlookers discussing.
“This little girl must be Winnie Truman’s fan. Flora has done it obviously, but she still bit the bait. How tricky Flora is!
Even Winnie Truman would hide from her.”
“This girl is too young. However, she’s a true fan of Winnie Truman. She’s so bold. If it were another girl, how dare
she argue with Flora in front of so many people?”
“Exactly. In this aspect, I envy Winnie Truman a lot. I also want such a kind of fans.”
Stella glanced at the two women next to her, who were both actresses. Although they were not famous, they often
appeared in a lot of soap operas.
She guessed that the little girl they mentioned must be Elaine.
Stella quickened her pace and walked in.
After taking a few steps, she heard Flora’s voice from the onlookers, “The netizens are still discussing this matter
online. What’s the use of your argument with me? I didn’t ask her to be a man’s mistress.”
Elaine wasn’t good at such an enigmatical argument. However, Stella could hear that she was pretty angry from
her tone, “Bullshit! She’s not that kind of person. You are just... just...”
Elaine tried her best to recall the words that Sherry cursed Flora that night but failed. Hence, she had to use the
most polite words, “You are just jealous of her.”
Flora heaved a sigh, “Little girl, I understand how you feel as her fan. But I don’t need to be jealous of her on this
matter. When you choose your idol, you must distinguish between right and wrong and have basic morality. You
can’t ignore your three outlooks just because of your idol.”
Right after Flora finished speaking, Stella squeezed in among the onlookers.
She stopped Elaine, who was quite anxious and looked over at Flora. She asked in a cold tone, “Is your morality let
you trouble such a young girl in front of so many people?”
Seeing her, Flora looked less arrogant. However, she insisted, “You might not know what happened. I was chatting
with my friends, but she came to me and argued with me. I feel quite ashamed to talk about such a thing in so
many people. How come I’m troubling her with it?”
“Ms. Alvin, you are here to work, aren’t you? Did you deliberately ask for leave just because you wanted to gossip
with your friends here?”
“I’m here to see the jewellery exhibition. I’m not so idle to gossip about the low-level things.”
Stella said expressionlessly, “I see. Hence, you got a day off from the crew for the jewellery exhibition here. After
coming in, you completely ignored the jewellery and deliberately brought up those controversial topics in her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpresence.”
“I...”
Flora was rendered speechless. For a moment, she couldn’t utter any word to retort.
She came to this jewellery exhibition because she got to know that this exhibition centre belonged to Chassell
Barret.
She wanted to hype the old news, so the man involved in the scandal must be there.
That was why Flora came over to look for chances. While she was wandering around, she encountered one of
Winnie’s friends who had barbecue food with her. Elaine looked pure-minded and young, so Flora believed that it
was quite easy to use her.
That was why she targeted Elaine.
All the stars in the exhibition knew that Flora couldn’t get along with Winnie and could tell that Flora had done it on
purpose, but they had nothing to do with this matter. They all watched the fun.
Much to their surprise, Stella exposed Flora’s purpose directly, embarrassing her so much.
They thought that Flora would fight back, but she tolerated it.
Right then, Chassell squeezed among the crowd and stood in front of them. He asked, “What happened?”
Flora smiled. ‘Good timing,’ she thought to herself.
Holding her arms, she said slowly, “Nothing serious. This young girl seems to be Winnie’s fan. She’s against me
because of her. Mr. Barret, why don’t you tell her if I’ve slandered Winnie?”
Chassell cast her a glance and looked at Elaine. He said in a deep tone, “Winnie and I used to be in love, but it
happened in the past. It’s not her fault. I’m responsible for it. Hence, if you want to blame someone, you should
blame me. Don’t scold her.”
