Chapter 166
So Estrella just lowered her head and said gloomily, “I told her I was going to join the finance department at the Humphrey Group, the one they set up after taking over the Shelton Group.”
She completely covered up the thing about pressing Stephanie, even crossed out the threat, and lied, saying it was just about starting the job.
“Tell the truth!” Maxwell said sharply.
Estrella’s eyes turned red, and they were full of tears.
“Yes. I told her that with my Ivy League finance master’s degree, I was more than qualified to run that department, but so what!”
“Could she really treat me like that?”
“Threw red wine at me in public?”
“What did Stephanie take me for, and what was she herself!”
“She knew so many people were watching, but she still made me look bad!”
Estrella still stayed away from Groena and the bet, this was something she just didn’t dare to bring up.
She could only exaggerate her feelings, pretend to be angry, and start crying.
Estrella was crying and sneaking looks at Maxwell at the same time.
But I only saw Maxwell’s cold look.

“Estrella, if you wanted to get some experience, you could go to any big securities firms or public and private funds in the country.”
“That department already belonged to the Shelton Group.”
“You had an opinion about her, on purpose.”
Maxwell spoke sentence by sentence, his voice was very cold.
Estrella didn’t respond, just stared at Maxwell stubbornly and angrily.
Maxwell didn’t want to deal with Estrella anymore.
He finally understood the real meaning of that “Espana Cani” just now, and what Stephanie’s cold look meant when she left.
She always valued the Shelton Group, so when Estrella acted like that, it’d be weird if she wasn’t mad.
Also, I saw Roxanne here…
But even so, Stephanie still shouldn’t have thrown red wine at Estrella in front of everyone.
“Put away your little schemes, and,” Maxwell said, dropping a line, “you should call her sister–in–law.”
Maxwell finished talking and left, leaving Estrella standing here alone.
“Ah!”
Estrella knocked everything off the top of the vanity.
Maxwell walked back to the car, and Roxanne waited for him by his
car on purpose.
“Max.” Roxanne looked really anxious, “I’ll go explain things to Stephanie, we were only together because of Adan…”

But Maxwell just looked at her helplessly.
“How are you gonna explain it?” Maxwell said. “She didn’t know what happened back then.”
“Back then, I didn’t want that… Max, I didn’t want to…” Roxanne started crying.
Roxanne cried really hard.
“I know,” Maxwell said, trying to comfort her. He let out a long sigh and said, “Today was just a coincidence, Roxanne. I’ll handle this.”
The other side.
Stephanie was driving on the avenue.
The streetlights around were dim, and the scenery beside me was moving backward.
She didn’t know where she was going.
She thought of her dad again.
She wanted to go see Belinda, but she was afraid that her bad mood would affect Belinda.
Just then, her phone started vibrating.
Stephanie glanced at it, it was a call from Jeremiah.
After getting her feelings together, Stephanie touched the answer button.
Jeremiah started off with a string of curses: “I’m so pissed off, why is Maxwell such a jerk! He even brought Roxanne when he came with

you!”
Stephanie knew Jeremiah was afraid she’d hold it in, so she called her on purpose to yell at Maxwell.
“And that Roxanne too, I’ve never seen anyone so energetic. Didn’t they say she only had six months left!”
