Armand shivered all over, “You...you’ve gone too far!"
Stella said, “Mr. Bernard, don’t say so. I am the person in charge of the Steward Group. Naturally, I have to
consider everything for the sake of the company. Besides, I did not force you to pay twenty million. Aren’t I helping
you borrow money from the Conrad Group? What's more, it was you who came up with this idea. Why did you
criticize me for going too far?"
Logan stood silently by the side and made no sound, for fear that he would be involved.
Armand pointed at Stella, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said unrestrainedly and irreverently, “I finally know what
a rogue is like today. I think you learned this from your gambler dad!"
No matter what he said, Stella still maintained a faint smile on her face. She was not angry at all.
After Armand threw his temper, he said to Logan, “I will let them transfer twenty million from my account to hers.
It’s fucking unnecessary to hold the press conference!"
Stella slowly said, “Armand Bernard, I'm sorry that I have to interrupt you. You can just directly transfer the money
to the Steward Group’s account. Why do you want to transfer it to me? Others who don’t know about the truth may
think you are bribing me."
Armand snorted and left.
The office door was closed with a loud bang.
Logan wiped away his sweat, “Ms. Radomil, don't take Mr. Bernard’s to your heart. He is just frank and outspoken,
and he didn’t mean so."
Stella chuckled, “Why do I have to care about him? Now the Steward Group is in short of money. As long as he can
give twenty million to me, he can even sit here and scold me. Many people have scolded me with words more
abusive than his. If I take all their words to my heart, I won’t be alive anymore."
After hearing this, Logan admired her a little.
If this happened to the other lady, she would have dropped the responsibility as she wouldn’t bear such grievance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Stella was able to accept these insults calmly and negotiated with Armand as if nothing had happened.
Logan added, “Ms. Radomil, are you going to use the twenty million for the company’s capital turnover?"
"What else can I do?" Stella's voice became colder, “He has a lot of money so that he dares to do such a shameless
thing. However, some troubles can be settled with money, and some troubles require a price."
Logan said nothing.
Stella said again, “You shall keep an eye on him and you can only leave after making sure that the accountant of
our company has received the money."
"But Mr. Bernard..."
"If he wants to procrastinate or renege on the debt, you can tell him that we can still change the schedule and
arrange the press conference night."
Logan immediately responded, “I understand. I will deal with it now."
Stella hummed and leaned back in the office chair.
After Logan went out, Stella exhaled a sigh of relief, looked towards her trembling fingertips, picked up the water
glass next to her, and gulped down the remaining water in the glass.
Armand had always been arrogant and aloof and always looked down upon other people. If she wanted to win him,
she couldn’t show the slightest timidity.
When Stella stood up to get some water, she received a call from Samuel, “Ms. Radomil, I have found it."
In response to Armand's habit, the partner company originally arranged a woman for him in advance. But
unexpectedly, that woman couldn’t come as she felt uncomfortable. Therefore, they contacted an intern of the
company and asked her to entertain Armand.
The intern didn't know anything about this disgusting transaction and thought it was just a socializing party. After a
few glasses of wine, Armand showed his true colours and started to assault her.
Seeing that the girl resisted against him violently, Armand secretly drugged her and then raped her.
Hearing this, Stella took a deep breath. Her hands which were placed on the table were clenched into fists as she
asked, “Where is the victim now?"
Samuel replied, "In the house she rented. Ms. Radomil, do you want to come over?"
"Send me the address, I'll come over now."
"OK."
Less than a minute after ending the call, Stella received the address from Samuel.
She picked up her things and straightly went downstairs.
As soon as Stella got out of the elevator, she bumped into Donald, who came to the company after finishing his
work.
Donald asked, “Where are you going?"
"Have you heard about the trouble caused by Armand?"
"I heard a little bit of it."
"I'm going to see the victim now."
Donald turned around, “I will go with you."
Stella nodded, “Okay."
Although Samuel had inquired about what was going on last night, the victim knew more specifically about the
details. Moreover, Donald was a lawyer. So he could learn about the case in case that they would go to court later.
After getting into the car, Donald asked, "How did you deal with Armand?"
Stella buckled the belt and said, "I required him to pay twenty million."
Donald was shocked, “Twenty million? He’s so tightfisted. How did you manage to do it?"
Armand had gained a lot of money through embezzlement and bribery in the Steward Group over the years, and he
stored all the money in his small vault. It is very difficult to take a penny from him. But Stella managed to let him
pay twenty million.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella said, “He has done something wrong and is guilt-stricken. I bluffed him, and then he agreed to pay it."
Donald admired her, “You and Clarence are a perfect match."
Stella, “..."
What nonsense was he talking about?
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the house the intern rented.
Stella went upstairs, only to find two men standing at the doors of the elevator. When they saw her, they
simultaneously turned shifted their gazes and looked away.
Hearing the footsteps, Samuel walked out of the house, “Ms. Radomil."
Stella retracted her gaze and hummed a nasal sound softly.
Samuel led her into the house and whispered, “The two standing at the door were sent by Mr. Bernard. Once the
girl wants to call the police, they will..."
Stella pursed her lips, her expression colder.
Donald sighed, “Armand wants to cover up the truth."
When Stella entered the house, she saw a man standing at the door and persuading the girl earnestly, “Bonnie,
since this has already happened, we have to find a way to solve it, right? It’s not good for you to stay in the room all
day long. Would you like to go out and eat something?”
There was no response from inside.
The man continued, “I have discussed this with the company, and we will directly get you a regular worker. As for
the salary, we will not deny it no matter how much you ask for it. Well, we all work for supporting our families.
Moreover, Mr. Bernard also promised that he will compensate you correspondingly. You also know that Mr. Bernard
is an executive of a big company. It’s not a person that we can offend. It’s almost enough. Or how’s this? You can
tell me your conditions and I can negotiate it on behalf of you.”
It sounded like the man was concerned for her and it would be Bonnie who went too far if she didn’t accept this.
Stella walked over and Samuel introduced, “Ms. Radomil, this is Mr. Christian Atwood, the representative of the
partner company."
Christian turned his head to study Stella up and down, “You are?"
