Modesty looked pale. Moving her lips, she explained, “No…it's not like that, I don’t have the intention of doing that… I just want…”

“What do you want?” Dempsey narrowed his eyes, “As I see it, you are afraid to offend Clarence, so you want me to take this responsibility for you!”

As he roared at Modesty, she felt that she seemed to stop breathing. She trembled uncontrollably and did not know what to say next.

At that moment, Justin appeared behind her and said slowly, “Don’t be afraid. If you want to say something, stand up first.”

Modesty’s mind went blank for a moment. When she turned her head, her pupils noticeably dilated and constricted. But she still didn’t dare to move.

Justin gave a chuckle, leaned down and extended his hand to Modesty.

Modesty’s gaze fell on his palm. After hesitating for a long time, she tentatively held his hand and slowly stood up.

At the same time, Dempsey said in an unsatisfied tone, “Justin, don't always waste your kindness on places that don’t deserve it.”

Justin replied, “There may be some misunderstanding in this matter. The last time we checked the identity of the person who ordered the reporter to infiltrate the Conrad family, wasn't the person a man?”

“I guess that he is her accomplice!”

Justin looked at Modesty, “There's still time, so tell us what is going on. Don't worry. If you didn’t do it, we will definitely not make your life difficult.”

Modesty stood beside him and bit her lower lip strongly. After a long time, she said, “I didn't do it…I don't know what is going on either, really...”

Dempsey hammered the floor strongly with his walking stick and scolded loudly, “There is concrete evidence. You are still denying responsibility!”

Modesty was frightened and hid behind Justin instinctively. She said hurriedly, “This really has nothing to do with me, but I know the man who approached the reporter last…last time. He has been…has been…”

“What has he been doing?”

“He has been helping Stella to do things.” After making up her mind to continue lying, Modesty was more composed instead, “Moreover, he was also the one who took Stella away from the Conrad family at the beginning. I don't know how he has become my accomplice. It is most likely that I have offended Stella at the designers’ contest this time, and she has deliberately said this in order to get back at me…”
