The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 78

From the moment she got the invitation, she knew there was no way

out

Although she and Jeremiah signed a confidentiality agreement, they were usually very careful too.

But a lot of things couldn’t stand up to close inspection, let alone if Garrett wanted to check.

Just talking about where today’s piece of Tanzanite came from, it might be hard for other places to figure out, but as long as Garrett wanted to know, he’d find out right away.

After all, it was our own business.

So, after she came in, she didn’t plan to keep pretending at all,

“What happened between you and Jeremiah?” Garrett asked directly.

Stephanie said, “I didn’t know which aspect Sir Conway was referring to.”

“All” Garrett was really intimidating.

Stephanie didn’t get mad, she just smiled and said:

“First of all, Jeri and I weren’t lovers. We were in a partnership and it was mutually beneficial.”

“Then, I didn’t let Jeri and Maxwell fight in the ring, but I still got him involved.”

“Hmph!” As soon as Stephanie finished speaking, Garrett slapped the

armrest with his hand and looked really angry.

But Stephanie just looked at him calmly and said, “Sir Conway, watch your hand.”

But Garrett still snapped, “You know the Humphrey family’s status in Haraville, and you still dragged Jeremiah in. Are you trying to get the Conway family involved too!”

“Sir Conway, you were overthinking it. I didn’t have that idea.” Stephanie didn’t panic and answered calmly.

Garrett saw that this trick didn’t fool Stephanie, so he dropped the act. “What’s going on between you and Maxwell, the Conway family didn’t need to get involved. I didn’t want to offend Maxwell.”

Stephanie finally smiled again.

“Sir Conway, you were kidding me.” Stephanie left it at that and didn’t

say more.

Garrett was watching her too, his hawk–like eyes locked on Stephanie, giving her a lot of pressure.

Garrett didn’t build up the Conway Group in a clean way back then, and he was pretty rough around the edges in the early days.

Later, it was his eldest son–who he was so proud of–who died at the bottom of the sea, and only then did he tone it down a bit.

But even so, that bit of bandit vibe in his bones was still there.

Just from how he let his three grandsons fight it out, you could tell he was still as ruthless as ever.

How could someone like that just run off when they heard the name Maxwell?

“How do you mess around?” Garrett finally spoke up.

Stephanie said softly, “You’re happy exactly because someone dared to challenge the Humphrey Group.”

After she finished talking, she gave another beautiful smile.

“You let your three grandsons fight, just to make the family stronger. If they backed off just hearing Maxwell’s name, then the family’s decline was bound to happen.”

“And also, the Conway Group wasn’t easy to handle, the risks were already under your control.”

Garrett narrowed his eyes and looked over the woman in front of him again.

He didn’t know why, but he actually saw a bit of his own eldest son- who he was so proud of–in that person.

He did have ideas, just a bit harsher than what she thought.

The Humphrey family was big and powerful, but the Conway family wasn’t going to go down easily either. If Maxwell wanted to make a fuss, they’d just kick Jeremiah out to apologize to Maxwell. After all, Garrett didn’t know Serena was Stephanie.

If Jeremiah found his footing, then let him lead the Conway Group to greatness.

Won the bet, and the Conway Group moved up to the next level.

Lost the bet, brought Jeremiah to apologize, you could do whatever you wanted.

He was already ready to sacrifice a grandson.
