Chapter 390: Why don’t You Make Your Debut
A legal letter sent to Phoebe Steward at half-past eleven at night, amid the online debate about the
designer contest, caught everyone off guard.
It was first covered up, but around midnight, someone posted a comment claiming that the university
student referenced in the letter was the provincial scholarship winner from the previous year.
Students began to criticize Phoebe for using such a ploy to damage a student's life when the comment
was made public.
People also contacted the media to report on the situation.
Despite the fact that it was past midnight, the debate wave had not subsided, and more individuals
were joining and participating in the comment section.
“Darn it, this is the actual face of capitalism, deleting viral content, in comparison to the designer
contest issue, the Steward Group clearly acts out of guilt.”
“I concur with the previous commenter. The Conrad Group did not erase or attempt to conceal the
issue in any way, perhaps we were mistaken about them.”
“Wasn't it you folks who made the snide remarks just now? A slew of unknown designers was writing
derogatory remarks, the real designers who took part had not expressed an opinion at all, but a slew of
miscellaneous was spouting nonsense.”
“I agree that some of them were a little too vicious, but if there had been any issues with the contest,
the designers would have noticed and defended themselves."
Some commented based solely on jealousy rather than fairness.
“To tell you the truth, I appreciate Ms. Radomil's designs. Her 'Puppy Love' Series was really popular,
and I purchased all of them because I adored them.”
“I work for SG Jewelry, and Mr. Conrad planned to help Ms. Radomil by providing her with the best
resources in the design area, but she turned it down right away. Those who said he staged the
competition solely to make her famous were ludicrous.”
“Hmmm, I don't suppose Mr. Conrad is like that either. There's no need to take a big round, he'll just
give Ms. Radomil what he wants.”
Apart from that, there were other unpleasant comments, although the situation had improved
dramatically.
The discussion thread on Phoebe's side was full of harsh comments.
“Recently, there have been a lot of concerns with the Steward Group and she still intends to treat
netizens like idiots? What a spoiled brat, she even harmed a university student.”
“Haha, I'm not surprised Phoebe did something like that. What good can we expect from her if she
merely hides behind the executives during an issue involving someone's life?”
“Jesus, I just realized the student is from our school, he's such a fantastic kid, good-looking, and
extremely nice!!!”
“Do you have a photo you'd like to share?”
Channing's photo from the class was soon posted online.
“Damn it!!! Phoebe Steward, go to hell!! She dared to victimize my future spouse!! What a scumbag!!”
“I'm going to claim him as my husband since he's too nice looking!”
“Did the two above go insane?”
“Oh my god, what awful luck for a hottie preyed upon by Phoebe Steward!”
“With such an appearance, you could easily be a celebrity, why don't you make your debut?” I'll be your
first and most ardent supporter!”
This had become the internet's newest trending subject.
The stock price of Steward Group continued to plummet.
In the meantime, a lot was going on in the Conrad Group.
Nathan ran in as Dempsey Conrad was pushing an explanation from Clarence in front of all the
shareholders. “Mr. Conrad, Master Conrad, the online argument has now been brought under control.”
Not only Dempsey but also Clarence was taken aback by his statements.
“How did that happen?” Dempsey was curious.
He planned for the issue to be detonated, but it was instead controlled?
“Not by us...,” he said. “However, the focus has shifted to a different subject,” Nathan responded.
“What is the subject?” Dempsey frowned.
Nathan didn't go into great detail, but he did say it had something to do with the Steward.
Clarence said calmly at this point. “Do you think this meeting is still necessary?”
They were absolutely silent as they stared at each other.
“What happened to the Steward has nothing to do with us,” Dempsey added, “but you still have an
explanation to make.”
“Do you want to hear my explanation?” Clarence gave a kind smile.
“What kind of explanation do you need from me?” he asked, casting a glance across the room.
“Everything on the internet is just rumor, and you believed them? Why are you bothering me in the
middle of the night with rumors that aren't true?”
Looking at him even made the shareholders feel embarrassed at this moment.
“Rumors were never unfounded, otherwise, why would you dismiss the champion in favor of the
runner-up? It's all your doing, isn't it?” said Dempsey.
“Other than the fact that she is the actual and legitimate champion, what might be the reason? If I want
to, I could give her the entire Conrad Group, a separate counter to exhibit her brand is nothing,”
Clarence said nonchalantly.
Everyone in the conference room felt their pulses quickened as he spoke.
Dempsey, as expected, lost his cool and slammed his palm against the table. “Are you even aware of
what you said? You're absurd...”
Clarence, on the other hand, was as tranquil as a cat. “I'm simply making a joke about the entire
Conrad Group, I offered her half but she turned it down.”
Hearing that, Dempsey fell a few steps backwards, as if he was about to pass out the next
second.
“What happened to the Steward has nothing to do with us,” Dempsey added, “but you still have an
explanation to make.”
“Do you want to hear my explanation?” Clarence gave a kind smile.
“What kind of explanation do you need from me?” he asked, casting a glance across the room.
