It seemed like she was not as high-spirited and swaggering as before and she didnât even wear a make-up. There was only tiredness on her face.
Madison walked to Stella. When she prepared to speak, she turned around and looked into Sherryâs curious eyes. She snorted, âWhat are you looking at? Havenât seen a beauty who doesnât where any make-up?â
Sherry was rendered speechless.
She wished so much that she hadnât seen such a âbeautyâ.
It seemed like Madison wanted to have a private talk with her. Seeing this, Stella said to Sherry, âSherry, please go in first.â
Sherry nodded her head and then looked towards Madison, âYouâd better not play any tricks. Otherwise, I wonât let go of you easily.â
Unexpectedly, Madison didnât retort Sherry. She turned around and ignored her.
When Sherry walked into the studio, Stella broke the silence, âWhy do you come to me?â
Madison asked, âMay I treat you a cup of coffee?â
Seeing that she was so sincere, which was quite different from how she acted before, Stella didnât refuse her again. They found a café near the studio.
After seating themselves, Madison asked, âYou must be very happy when seeing my current appearance, right?â
Stella was amused, âWhy should I feel happy? Does it have anything to do with me?â
Madison continued, âWhy didnât you tell me before that your ex-husband is the CEO of the Conrad Group. When seeing me showing off in front of me like a fool, you must be very triumphant, right?â
âIf thinking in this way will cheer you up, please go on.â
Right at this moment, a waiter came over with two cups of coffee.
Madison took a sip of the coffee and said slowly, âMy husband is now put in jail. Iâve turned to many people for help recently, but no one has showed any respect to be. I finally understand the proverb â human relationships are superficial. I will cup the craps. Iâm here mainly to express my gratitude to you. After all, you will not care about the formality except for my sincere thanks.â
Stella said in a serious tone, âIf you want to thank me, you should not have come today.â
âYou...â Madison wanted to say something, yet she swallowed the words in the end. She snorted, âWhether to express my thanks to you, itâs my own business. As for whether to accept it, it depends on you.â
âYou donât need to thank me and I will not accept it either. Based on the condition that day, I would not stand aside even the victim were a pig, not to mention it was a human being. I just did a thing that I think right. And I donât need any gratitude.â
Madisonâs expression changed quickly when she heard the words. She was not a fool, so of course she knew that Stella was implicating that she was even inferior to a pig.
She took a deep breath, âThere are all I want to say. Donât expect any other words from me. I will never apologize to you.â
Stella curled her lips into a light smile. She didnât say anything.
After Madisonâs leaving, Stella came back to her studio.
Sherry ran to her, âStella, howâs it? Did she go hard with you?â
Stella shook her head, âNope.â
Sherry continued, âI also donât think that sheâs here to seek troubles for you. Have you found it? She looks totally different. In the past, she was like a peacock in her pride. But she looks dejected and low-spirited today.
Stella moved her lips trying to say something, but in the end, she still didnât tell Sherry that she bumped into Madison and helped her before. She patted Sherryâs shoulder, âI will go on with my drawing. Call me if thereâs any problem.â
Sherry nodded her head, âGo.â
Sitting in front of the office desk and looking at the drafts on the desk, Stella found it hard to calm down herself.
Although she knew that Jeffrey just wanted money from her, she felt more fretful since she could only wait for him to contact her aimlessly.
Furthermore...
Stella recalled Jeffreyâs reaction when she mentioned her mother and their marriage last night. She felt very unease.
She had a hunch that Jeffrey must know some inside stories. Moreover, he must know more than her imagination.
After a short while, Stella stood up.
Sherry asked when seeing her, âStella, whatâs wrong?â
Stella replied, âI have to go to a place. Sherry, can you lend me your car?â
Sherry tossed the car key to her, âWhere are you going?â
âGo to find Adolph Miller.â
Stella was stunned, âCan you find him?â
As for the people like Adolph, once they hided themselves, it would be very difficult for others to find them. Clarenceâs men also tried to find him before. They took great efforts yet still failed to get a single clue.â
Stella replied after a short while of silence, âI got an idea.â
Every human being has a soft spot.
Adolph was not an exception.
After leaving the studio, Stella directly navigated to a place.
The car finally arrived at the destination after about an hour later.
This place was surrounded by old residential buildings and there were wastes and sewers everywhere, which looked incompatible with the prosperous city. It was like this place was forgotten when the city was developing, so it could only decay alone and even disappeared silently.
Stella scrolled her phone and found an address. She asked two passengers and then walked in the direction they pointed for her.
She took many detours and finally saw the person she wanted to find at the mouth of an alley.
It was Modestyâs father.
When the police was investigating Modesty before, she saw this address on the documents. And when she came back from the Anqiao Street before, Sherry told her that Modestyâs father came to find her.
Stella put her phone into her pocket, walked over and stood in front of the man, âMister, nice to meet you. Iâm Stella Radomil and I was once Modestyâs colleague.â
Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again ï¤Chapter 288: I Want to See You Right Away An Eight-year-old Princess ï¤Chapter 1410 Go And Return Quickly Critic ï¤Chapter 105: Missing Drake The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up when he heard the words. He gesticulated her, gesturing her to come into the house and prepared to pour a glass of water for her.
Stella was stunned when seeing this. She then curled her lips into a smile and handed the fruit basket to him, âMister, no need. I come here to ask you some questions.â
The middle-aged man made some gestures again, but Stella couldnât understand it. Seeing this, the man took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down some words on the paper.
When seeing the words on the paper, Stella finally realized that he wanted to ask her about the current situation of Modesty.
It seemed like he didnât know what had happened to modesty. He went to SG to find Modesty before, but Modesty cursed at him and forced him to leave. Since then, he didnât come to find her again.
Stella replied, âI... Iâm not clear of her current situation. But I guess she must be living well.â
Modesty was a designer who studied abroad before. Therefore, even though she was fired by SG, she could go to other company based on her ability and even design jewelry for customers privately. Judging from her characteristics, Stella guessed that she would be living well.
The middle-aged man heaved a sigh when hearing the words. He then wrote down a line on the paper, asking Stella what she wanted to know.
Stella pressed her lips together. After a long while, she asked, âMister, do you know whereâs Adolph?â
