Edwin was driving, and the two old people sat steadily in the back
seat.
“Do you really think this would work?” Jennifer looked at Leonard and asked, “Will Steph win?”
Leonard snorted, “Did you really think she was worse than a Roxanne?”
“Her own ability wasn’t a problem,” Jennifer said.
Leonard looked at his wife and sighed, “If we just gave the stuff to Stephanie, Maxwell definitely wouldn’t like it.”
“I could only leave him one chance to turn things around, using the chance for Roxanne to get started as bait, plus some threats, that was the only way it might work.”
Jennifer nodded.
They talked it over and both agreed.
People outside were hurrying by. Leonard said helplessly, “I hope he could see Roxanne’s slyness and Steph’s goodness from this bet.”
“This wasn’t a waste of our effort either.”
On the other side.
Maxwell took Roxanne back to Everbloom Floral Studio, then went back to the Humphrey Group.

Edgar was already waiting here anxiously as soon as I got downstairs.
“Mr. Humphrey, a lot of people in the company and all our partners just blew up the company phone!”
Edgar had just messaged him, so he replied so quickly.
Estrella had already hurried downstairs.
“Max, I couldn’t handle it anymore,” Estrella said. “The shareholders were all asking why the divorce wasn’t announced earlier, asking if something like a sky–high divorce case would happen to a listed company, and all the partners Stephanie used to contact were asking too.”
Estrella was really mad: “Why didn’t she tell us in advance that she was going to announce the divorce? Now it’s caused such a mess!”
Maxwell gave Estrella a cold look, and Estrella finally dropped the subject.
He knew it had been a few days since they got their marriage certificate. She had given him enough time to react. Announcing the divorce today wasn’t her fault.
On one side, Estrella said, “Max, you know, a lot of partners recognized Stephanie, and now she’s publicly cutting ties with the Humphrey Group… Max, I’m worried those partners might waver.”
“There’s also the stock price,” Edgar added. “It would fluctuate too.”
The three of them headed to the private elevator together.
Estrella and Edgar both quickly told what happened.
The elevator kept going up.

At the end, right before the elevator was about to open, Estrella asked a question for some reason-
“Max, did you guys… really get divorced?”
“She didn’t fake the divorce certificate? You guys really got divorced?” Estrella asked tentatively.
Maxwell didn’t look at Estrella, he just said “yeah.”
Then, I walked out of the elevator and hurried to the meeting room.
Estrella, who was two steps behind, had a complicated look on her face.
She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end closed it and went to the meeting room with them to deal with those people.
On the other side, Stephanie and Lennon had already finished lunch, and right now they were in the Wilkinson Group’s jewelry store.
Lennon was introducing her to the related business under the Wilkinson Group.
Just now while eating, he found out about Stéphanie’s betting agreement.
Stephanie didn’t hide it.
After all, when she won “The Ethereal Voice,” she also signed with this company.
She wasn’t a rigid person. She knew Maxwell would definitely help Roxanne, so she accepted help from others within reason. Mutual benefit with others/wasn’t a bad thing, she thought.
