Chapter 378: Chapter 378

It turned out that Stella’s guess was correct. Including Phoebe and Aurora, all the rich ladies of City N invited to be judges gave Stella the lowest score.

The rest of the professional judges looked at each other and said nothing.

After all, these people’s families were powerful and influential. So, no one would be bothered with them over this trivial matter.

After they had finished evaluating, the staff arranged for them to leave the venue orderly.

Before leaving, Aurora glanced at the other two judges, who nodded at her seamlessly.

She withdrew her gaze with a satisfied expression. It would be no way for that vixen to win this championship this time!

Phoebe, beside her, caught their small gestures and had a disdainful smile on her face.

It seemed apparent who the winner would be this time.

After leaving the conference room, Phoebe didn’t want to stay there any longer and went straight away.

She had just gotten into the car when Charles’s assistant called her, whispering, “Ms. Steward, the chairman wants you to come to the office.”

Phoebe was impatient, “What’s it?”

The assistant didn’t say much and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Phoebe frowned, looking at the phone, and said to the driver, “Head to the company.”

“Alright.”

When Phoebe entered the company, she heard some of the employees gossiping about something. But, when they saw her, they quickly looked away and quieted down, scattering in all directions.

Phoebe’s brows knitted tightly seeing this. She stopped one of the employees and asked displeasingly, “What are they talking about?”

The employee stammered, “This... Mr. Steward told us not to talk.”

“Not even to me?”

“I... Ms. Steward, you’ll know it when you see the chairman.”

Phoebe held back her anger and got on the lift to go to Charles’s office.

Phoebe pushed the door open after knocking on it outside, “Dad, what happened? I...”

Before Phoebe finished her words, she saw a man’s smiling face.

She was no stranger to this man.

Donald waved his hand at her, “It’s been a long time, Ms. Steward.”

Phoebe said in a cold voice, “What are you doing here?”

Donald said, “Oh, here’s the thing. I’m here on behalf of my client.”

As he said that, he took out a pile of information documents from his briefcase.

Phoebe said blankly, “It’s Stella who sent you here, right? What exactly does she want?”

“You may have misunderstood. There’s nothing to do with her for me to come here.” Donald sneered, “But, I’m quite interested in the problems between you and her. Let’s talk in private sometime?”

“You...”

Donald pushed his phone in front of her, and a video was playing on it. The person in the video was precisely Bernice, who had been seriously injured and unconscious in a car accident.

She had already woken up, and she seemed to have good spirits apart from the gauze still wrapped around her head.

In the video, Bernice pointed out that she had become this because of Phoebe. She even said that Phoebe had instructed her to do many harmful things before. Although she didn’t say it clear, anyone who had read the news would know that she was talking about Stella.

Phoebe’s face changed instantly, with her lips moving, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Donald took back his phone, “I’m sorry. I accidentally put it on the Steward Group’s official website when I was operating it previously. But, I’ve withdrawn it immediately. I believe the Steward Group’s staff wouldn’t spread it around, right?”

Although he apologized, he didn’t seem to be filled with regret.

Halfway through, he even looked at Charles at his desk and said, “Am I right, Mr. Steward?”

Charles had a taut expression and said nothing.

He had clearly put in on the Steward Group’s official website on purpose. Who could have been so careless to this extent?

Phoebe took a deep breath, “I don’t know this person and I know nothing what she said.”

Donald wasn’t surprised by her answer. He just raised his brow, “Sure, Ms. Steward. You’re right. I’m not here to press you. I’m just entrusted by the person concerned to go through the procedure. I believe that you are not such a person. It’s just that I have no reason to turn my clients away. But, don’t worry. Even if she sues, she has no evidence or witnesses, and you will definitely win this lawsuit. And when I get the legal fees, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Phoebe was obviously not as in a good mood as he was, with her hand clutching her skirt at her side.

Charles got up at this time and said, “Donald, when did you come back?”

Donald smiled and replied, “Just a few days ago.”

Charles walked over to him and sat down, reaching for the teapot to pour himself a cup of tea, “You’ve been gone for so long this time, you should go home and keep your parents company. Don’t they have any problem with you going out to work so soon?”

“Charles, as you know, I’m extremely hard to keep down. I like to find people to drink and have fun whenever I am free. Compared to that, my parents still prefer me to work properly.”

Charles picked up the tea in front and took a sip, “It’s a good thing to work. Just that you are the only son of your parents, you should go back and think about running the company after having fun outside.”

“There’s no rush. My dad is still fit and it’s not too late to have more fun for a few years.”

“I saw your dad last month and he’s indeed looking good. However, for some matters, it’s better to plan ahead before it’s too late.”

“You’re right, Charles. Got it.”

“Your father and I will have more time to come out for tea only after you take over the company. From now on, the company depends on the youngsters like you guys and we will have to take a step back soon.”

Seeing That Charles was starting to be emotional, Donald maintained his strict and courteous smile, “What are you talking about, Charles. You’re still young and it’s too early to think about this now.”

“Phoebe is my only daughter. There are some things I have to think about for her in advance, otherwise...”

Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 377: I’ll Take Care of You Forever An Eight-year-old Princess Chapter 1410 Go And Return Quickly Critic Chapter 105: Missing Drake Donald was surprised, “Speaking of which, there’s something I’m quite curious about. I’ve heard people say that Ms. Radomil is also your daughter.

What’s this about?”

Charles had a stiff face, knowing that he was intent on changing the subject. He put down his cup of tea, “It’s just an accident from years ago. It’s better not to mention it.”

“An accident? Then you’re quite fortunate to have such a daughter in the blink of an eye. And not only that, it might not be long before Clarence has to call you Dad.”

As Donald just said this, there was an awkward silence in the office again.

Phoebe and Charles looked terrible.
