"What’s wrong?" Fia smiled sarcastically. "It’s not like I talked about your children. Why that expression?"Silas lowered his head, took a few seconds to compose himself, and then handed over the gift he held."Today, we shouldn't have taken the children away without your permission. This is a small token of goodwill, hoping that you will accept it and not blame Mr. Maxwell."Fia glanced at the gifts. "They're quite expensive, but unfortunately, I can afford them myself. Such small favors are of no use to me."Silas was speechless."Look, if your work life isn't too busy, you should consider your lifelong matters. You're not young anymore, right? You can't possibly spend your whole life following your CEO, right?" Fia’s tone was somewhat mocking.Silas stared at her blankly and mumbled, "Madam Fia wouldn't say such things."Fia frowned, feeling a stab in her heart.After enduring so much pain and becoming so desperate, did he expect her to be as foolishly kind as before?"Ms.
Conrad used his cane to jam the door.Fia used strength, wishing for nothing more than to break his cane.However, the material used to make his cane was special. It couldn’t be broken with a knife, nor could it be destroyed by a fire.Hearing Conrad’s voice, the two children were ready to get moving.“Mommy, Uncle is here!”Fia turned her head back speechlessly. “Adrian, Irene, what did you both promise me?”Using that moment of distraction, Conrad used brute force to open the door.Seeing Conrad, Adrian and Irene got even more excited and both ran to the door.Fia was really speechless.She really couldn’t do anything to these two kids.“Uncle, did you come over for something?” Irene asked sweetly.“Yeah, I did.” Conrad smiled at the two children and walked over to Fia.Fia subconsciously retreated. His eyes appeared to be on the offense, a little too strong, and she was a little panicky.However, she very quickly suppressed it.“Mr. Maxwell, is anything the matter?”F
Conrad did not reply. He raised his cane and pointed at the bed in the room. “There’s trash. Go deal with it!”Utterly confused, Silas was momentarily stunned and thought it was an assassin or whatnot, and strode over quickly.The moment he walked into the room, he lifted the blanket.A woman in a black chiffon sundress appeared before him.Silas subconsciously turned his head away.At this moment, Annie’s face was flushed, her sundress revealing half of her. She immediately used the blanket to cover herself.“Conrad dear, I…”“Don’t call me that!” Conrad said coldly.Annie frowned and changed her words. “Conrad, I, I just wanted to give you a surprise.”Having had a strict upbringing, she never thought that she would do such a thing for the sake of keeping a man.However, she had already done it and yet she did not succeed. She felt even more embarrassed.“Surprise?” Conrad’s tone was even colder, not willing to even look back to see Annie’s expression.Silas felt his hear
Before, she was even delighted, thinking that he wanted to live in Aurora Residences to have more interaction with her!How ridiculous!“Mr. Silas, please give us some space.”Annie knew that this was her last chance.Silas lowered his head without speaking.Annie went all out, walking to Conrad. Her slender arms fell on his waist.With an obsessive gaze, she went forward.That gentle look of hers really made one can’t help but feel appreciative and pity.“Conrad, I don’t mind whoever you fancy. I can wait for you, and be the woman behind you.”She tightened her arms, wanting to hug Conrad’s waist.“Hiss!”Conrad’s hand suddenly fell on Annie’s shoulder and exerting force, he pushed Annie to the ground.Annie only felt pain coming from her shoulder.She feared that it had dislocated.“Conrad, do you really hate me that much? Were these five years just meaningless?”Her tears started to flow once again. This time, Annie could not help but crumble and wail.“Immediately k
Why!A married woman with two children, a broken shoe. Why was she able to capture Conrad’s attention!The more Annie thought, the more she could not understand!With a ring, the elevator opened before Fia again.Fia was speechless.Seeing the woman in the elevator, she was too lazy to even go down with her.She, on the other hand, insisted on opening the elevator again.Annie gave a gentle smile and saw the trash bag in her hand. “Ms. Sia, aren’t you entering? Don’t you want to go downstairs to throw your trash?”“No thanks. You can go ahead.” Fia gave a superficial smile.If not for the trash bag containing kitchen scraps, and that it would not be good to leave it in the trashcan in the corridor, she would have been too lazy to go downstairs, then she wouldn’t have met such a ridiculous lady.Five years ago, Annie was elegant and noble, like a princess who would not fall into the conventional.But now, Annie was just an empty skin that looked like a princess.“It doesn’t
Fia swept a glance at the darkness nearby. It was half past eight and there were few people around.However, to a certain artiste, it was still not safe enough.She suppressed the helplessness she felt internally and turned around.“Is anything the matter?”Wearing a mask and a cap, Eileen was dressed in all black as she hurried to Fia.“I’m Eileen.”“Is anything the matter?” Fia asked coolly.Eileen stared at Fia and her gaze trembled. “Are you really unable to agree to my request?”“What request?” Fia acted as if she had forgotten that she had once come to seek her out.Eileen said, “Conrad has moved into Aurora Residences, and is living above you.”Fia replied, “So?”Eileen continued, “I just saw Annie leaving, not too tidily.”Fia sighed. “So?”Eileen walked to Fia and made a request sincerely. “Why does Conrad have amnesia and is able to find a woman to pass his days well? I also find Annie’s actions distasteful. She and that monster of a mom of Conrad’s worked togeth
“Achoo!” Fia woke up in the middle of the night due to the cold and she checked the time. It was 2AM.She had been feeling agitated, getting angry easily, and kicking the blanket throughout the night.Fia got up and drank a cup of warm water. She went to check up on Adrian and Irene.The two children were sleeping like adorable little pigs.Returning to the living room, her drowsiness vanished. She turned on the TV and sat on the sofa.The TV volume was turned down to the minimum, and as she watched, her thoughts began to drift.In the evening, Eileen told her that Conrad’s poison was administered by Beryl. At that time, she found it unbelievable.Now, after waking up from a nap, her mind was clear. She could not help but think that with Beryl’s ambition and cruelty, it might indeed be true.If Conrad, who had lost his memory, was not wary of Beryl, he would sooner or later fall victim to her.She also thought about Silas mentioning Tiger’s disappearance and couldn't help but
Overjoyed to see Sophia in the picture, Fia immediately dialed Lucifer’s number.“She’s still alive?”“Of course.” Lucifer took a sip of water from his cup and said, “I have no qualms with the girl. Why’d I want her dead? Besides, you know just how much I love playing games. It’s more fun for me to toy with someone than end their life, right?”Fia’s heart sank when she heard this. “You…you…!”“Hehe, what? Cat got your tongue, Fia?” Lucifer said with a mischievous grin. “So, she’s now working for you?” Fia asked coldly.“Yes. She pledged herself to me wholeheartedly as a pawn.”This could not be! Fia recalled just how unwilling Sophia was to get back to the Hellish Training Camp when she disappointed Conrad back then. She said she had enough of the harsh life in the camp and wanted a normal civilian life. Yet now, Lucifer said Sophia willingly offered to be a pawn? A pawn that would live in the shadows?“It’s impossible!”“Why not? She’s really pissed back then, you know? Sh
