“Max, were you just getting tired of me?” Roxanne said with her back to him.
Maxwell didn’t answer.
Edgar glanced at the two of them and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, “Ms. Gregg, Mr. Humphrey didn’t mean that. Things are pretty complicated in the group, and Mr. Humphrey was just thinking about your health.”
Roxanne didn’t say anything for a while. Finally, she grabbed the doorknob.
“Max, I really wanted to help you.“.
She turned around, eyes red, aRoxanne got even angrier.
nd said, “If she could do it, I could do it
too.”
“Maybe I was wrong about this.”
“But I still wanted to say, I was willing to do anything.”
Maxwell didn’t look at Roxanne again. He lowered his eyes a bit and just said, “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
There was a flash of pride in Roxanne’s eyes.
This was his concession.
By now, he still couldn’t do anything about her.

Roxanne thought about it, pulled herself together, and went with Edgar to check it out.
There was only Maxwell left in the big CEO’s office.
He looked at a small table to the side.
In the past, if there was something that needed to be discussed and handled with him at the same time, Stephanic always sat there with a stack of documents in her arms.
But now, it was already empty there.
“Buzz buzz…”
The phone kept ringing.
Maxwell glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone.
“Maxwell!” Leonard’s furious voice came through the phone, “I
swallowed my pride to help you coordinate with everyone, and this is how you paid me back?”
“Let Roxanne get out of the Humphrey Group!”
After Leonard’s call, there were countless more calls.
Maxwell held his head and looked at the empty little table nearby, feeling overwhelmed.
And on the other side.
Stephanie methodically watched the whole livestream, then went to check out the curve of the Humphrey Group.
She thought for a bit, then called Jeremiah.

“How was it?” Stephanie asked after Jeremiah picked up.
“My guy over there said he bought a ton of The Humphrey Group shares at the lowest point, and right after he finished buying, Roxanne started her livestream. The timing was perfect!” Jeremiah said excitedly.
Jeremiah finally got it!
It was a sure thing that there was a partnership between Roxanne and Simon. Before, they had already contacted each other in private several times because of “The Ethereal Voice.”
If they still had a partnership now and got caught with proof, then…
Now he could really give Simon a big one!
Stephanie smiled.
“Need evidence, need solid proof.” Stephanie’s voice was soft. “Jeri, lately I need you to keep an eye on his and the related accounts‘ money flow.”
Jeremiah nodded and said yes.
The two stopped just in time.
Even though both of them knew that even if they got caught, they might just get fined and not have to do time because it wasn’t that serious, it was still enough to give Simon and Roxanne a hard time.
Stephanie didn’t mean to go after someone who was dying, but ever since she and Roxanne took that bet, their rivalry was inevitable.
And besides, all of this was Roxanne’s own doing.
Stephanie hung up the phone and looked at the curve again.

What came to her mind was what her father had said to her.
“Steph, before you could make the rules, what you could do was follow the rules and use the rules.”
Stephanie lowered her eyes a little.
She thought of her father again.
