After all, what Adolph wanted was the actual money instead of Jeffrey’s life.

Hearing that Jeffrey’s howling was becoming weaker and weaker, Adolph stopped his men.

He glanced at the almost dead Jeffrey and withdrew his gaze. He looked over at Stella. “I never expect

that you’ll be so heartless. You even stood and watched without doing anything. After all, he’s your

father, isn’t he?”

Stella had a dried-out throat. After a few seconds, she answered, “If he still cared about my brother and

me, he wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

Adolph didn’t speak. He couldn’t agree with her more.

He continued, “What do you plan to do now?”

Stella inhaled. “You can take this fifty thousand. As for the rest of the debt, no matter in what way you

want him to pay back, it’s between him and you only. It has nothing to do with me.”

Only after cutting ties with Jeffrey completely would those debtors know that it was useless to ask her

to pay the debt for her father.

After thinking for a few seconds, Adolph looked over at Channing and asked. “What about you? Don’t

you want to take care of it either?”

Channing looked quite cold. “He deserved it. It’s none of my business.”

As he spoke, he took Stella’s hand. “Stella, let’s go.”

Watching them go out of the box, a man asked, “Boss, are we letting them leave like this? What about

our money?”

Adolph turned around and hinted him to look at Jeffrey, who was lying on the floor. “Isn’t the indebted

still there?”

He recalled that Jeffrey had owed someone else earlier. Later, he managed to get two million from

somewhere. Since Jeffrey was capable to do so, Adolph wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t be able to pay

back his debt.

Adolph squatted down and said to Jeffrey, “I’ll give you a few more days. You should know the interest

increases every day. You’d better not escape. I’ll ask my men to follow you all the time. If you dare to

make a move, as long as I can’t receive my money, you can’t blame me for being cruel to end your life.”

Walking out of the gate, Stella suddenly felt her legs weekend. If it weren’t that Channing helped her

up, she would probably fall on the ground.

After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice, “Chan, have I don’t something wrong? After all, he is...”

Channing interrupted her, “Haven’t you said that if he still cared about us, he wouldn’t have done so?

Since he could do something without any rock bottom, why can’t we?”

Stella fell into the silence and didn’t speak.

Although she had become numb for what Jeffrey did, when she saw him being beaten up by a group of

men, she still felt quite upset.

Channing added, “No worries. He’ll be fine. You’ve given them some money, haven’t you?”

Fifty thousand wasn’t a big amount, but it could save Jeffrey’s life for the time being at least.

“I hope so.”

She had looked into Adolph’s background in the past few days. He was a typical usurer, smart and

thoughtful. He would never kill the indebted in anger just because he wouldn’t receive the debt, which

wasn’t worthy for him at all.

Sending Stella home, Channing pulled out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to her.

Stella was stunned. Instead of taking it over, she asked, “What’s this?”

“There’s some money in this card. It’s useless for me for the time being. Please take it.”

“Aren’t you going to college soon? You’ll need to spend money. Keep it yourself. Why are you giving it

to me?”

Channing pressed the bank card into her hands. “I’ve saved the allowance for my school. This is for

you. You are now pregnant and nobody is taking care of you. Take it and buy some nutritious food.”

Stella still didn’t want to take it. “No, thanks, Channing. You...”

However, before she could finish her words, Channing turned around and ran away.

Looking at his back, Stella faintly smiled.

Since Modesty got the free lunch from Conrad Group, she had been in a super good mood in the

following days. She believed that Mr. Conrad was kidding when he pretended he didn’t know her. If

Conrad Group didn’t like her, they wouldn’t have sent her to study in Paris three years ago, and nor

would they provide her with such an excellent opportunity.

...

She knew that what Conrad Group had offered were all the top resources, which couldn’t be obtained

by the designers no matter how many decades they kept working hard.

However, Modesty’s good mood was ruined when she passed by the lounge and heard that the

opportunity from Conrad Group was originally for Stella, who had refused it, so it was offered to her

instead.

In an instant, Modesty pulled a long face.

It was Stella again!

Three years ago, Stella won the first prize and she refused it, so the study abroad chance was offered

to Modesty. Now the same thing happened again.

Modesty felt so annoyed to be the person who received Charity behind Stella’s back.

Back to her office, Modesty pulled out her phone and dialed a number. “Hello! I asked you to

investigate who Stella Radomil’s ex-husband is. How does it go?

“I can’t find any information. Are you sure she was married? Was it just her excuse?”

“It seems possible.”

Although Stella used to clarify her private life to the media, Modesty believed that a mistress would

never want to admit her identity in public so easily.

If Stella truly had got married, how would she hide all the details without telling others? Modesty was

wondering if Stella deliberately wanted to mislead others to think that her ex-husband was a bigwig.

In the afternoon, Modesty took her newly designed jewelry series to Stanford’s office.

With the best resources, after studying design in France for such a long time, Modesty had her skills

and abilities. However, she was too be anxious to achieve quick success and get instant benefits. All

her designs emanated an eagerness that she wanted to suppress Stella.

Stanford rubbed his temples and said, “Modesty, your design looks fine. But, we have ‘Puppy Love’

Series in SG Jewelry Magazine, why don’t you try another style?”

Obviously, Modesty was well prepared. She retorted, “I admit that ‘Puppy Love’ Series are still popular

now, which means that the market likes such style. Besides, my design style is different from it. After

my series are produced and available in the market, we can let the two series compete with each other.

Then we will know which one the market would choose.”

“So you meant if your series is more popular than ‘Puppy Love’ Series, we should stop producing and

selling ‘Puppy Love’?”

“Of course. Survival of the fittest.”

Stanford suddenly laughed. “Modesty, I know you want to be better than Sharon in every perspective,

but you should know you are working for SG Jewelry Magazine. We’re making jewelry here not

schemes in the workplace.”

Although his tone was steady and gentle, his words sounded quite harsh.

Modesty, however, retorted, “It’s just because SG Jewelry is the A-list magazine in our country, we

should know ‘survival of the fittest’ better.”
