Roxanne was just feeling proud, but now her face changed in an instant. She held her phone, found Maxwell’s contact, but hesitated about whether to reach out to him.
And at Moon Manor.
Maxwell had already gone back to his place.
He stood outside the woods by the villa and thought about that day when Stephanie stood here and slapped him, her eyes, and her tears.
He walked all the way back into the villa, and as he got back, he remembered that kiss in the hallway.
There was also…
Maxwell walked into that unlit bedroom that day, and right now it was just like back then, with dim moonlight.
He just quietly looked at that bed like that.
He seemed to still see the tear stains she left when she cried that day.
And the buttons left behind when he tore at her clothes in the corner that day.
It seemed like her scent was still in the air, but now, he was the only one standing there.
It seemed like the words she said to him on the rooftop garden during the auction break that day echoed in the room-
“Mr. Humphrey, don’t care too much about anyone except your own
288 Mouchers
people, because that was being unfaithful to her.”
“She would be sad if you did that.”
Serena was smiling that day, but Stephanie was crying.
Everything online was brewing.
At this time, the Wilkinson Group released a video.
It was the scene when Tanzanite was still bidding at the jewelry store.
In the video, except for Stephanie, everyone else was blurred, so you couldn’t see their real faces or identities.
At that time. Stephanie was sitting alone in the corner.
She held up the sign again and again.
The other person provoked, “If it were someone else, it would just be a rock, I’d let it go. But you’re Maxwell’s wife, so I absolutely wouldn’t give you this rock!”
But at that time, Stephanie just looked at the other person and said. “What do I need to do to get it?”
The other person laughed out loud, glared at her and said, “Here, in front of everyone, bark like a dog, say ‘Maxwell is just a dog,‘ and then agree to my terms. Only then will I stop.”
Stephanie looked at him and smiled. She stood up.
Just when everyone thought she was about to say yes, she grabbed the number plate nearby and smashed it hard into the man’s face.
“You!”
The man looked fierce, like he was about to rush over, but she didn’t

move at all.
“I’m going to sue you! You hit me!” the man shouted.
But she just raised the corners of her mouth a little and smiled, saying, “Go ahead. This tag is so light, the mark will be gone before you even walk out the door. Do you really think they can check for any injuries?”
“Stephanie!”
“That’s right. I was humiliating you,” she said, her voice light.
“I didn’t allow you to insult him.”
“Any situation.”
Stephanie spoke, the corners of her mouth lifting a little, but her eyes stayed cold.
She said, “Got it?”
“Weren’t you afraid you wouldn’t get that stone!” the man roared.
Stephanie just smiled, and her calmness was a sharp contrast to the other person’s agitation.
“You can go on,” she said. “Do you think you could make things hard for me, or do
you think
you could go up against the Humphrey
Group?”
The place was quiet.
The grumpy guy just got stuck here and couldn’t move forward or back.
