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
Taking in a deep breath, Fia mumbled to herself, “Darn it! I must have owed you a great deal in my previous life!”“Mommy! Mommy, please help Uncle Maxwell!” Irene grabbed and swayed her mother’s arm pleadingly.Adrian too pleaded tearfully, “Mommy, please. He’s not a bad person. Please help him.”Glaring coldly at Conrad who was laying on the ground helplessly, Fia sighed and put his arm around her shoulders before carrying him to his sofa.“Okay, done. Let’s go.”Adrian and Irene, however, were not having it. They both directed a painfully accusatory frown at their mother.Fia put a hand on her forehead, frustrated. “Look, he’s only got a cold. He’ll live.”Hearing this, the children hurried to Conrad to touch his forehead.“But his forehead is so hot. He’s got a fever.”“…”Biting her lips, Fia could do nothing but relent to her children’s kindness. She had to, or else her children might mistake her for some cold-hearted witch.Sigh. It was so hard to be these two’s mothe
Silas gave Fia a bitter smile and said, “Thank you, Ms. Sia. But this method isn’t the best way to treat this.”“It’s better than standing by and watching him burn to death,” Fia shrugged and said.Silas gave the Maxwell’s family doctor a phone call before asking Conrad like a worried mother, “Sir, have you had breakfast yet?”“No,” Conrad answered as he stared at Fia. Even though she had always treated him coldly, he felt a sense of bliss just from seeing her.“I’ll go make breakfast!” Silas quickly stepped toward the kitchen.Seeing this, Fia ordered her children, “You two, stay here and don’t go anywhere.”“Yes, Mommy!” Adrian and Irene were delighted to be around Conrad. So, they did not ask where their mother was going.Conrad, on the other hand, felt like a sourpuss from seeing Fia following Silas into the kitchen. Why did she treat Silas better than him? Heck, she spoke with Silas more when compared to speaking with him. Meanwhile, in the kitchen…After putting a pot
Fia frowned when she thought about it. Beryl was Conrad’s mother! How could a mother do something like this to her own flesh and blood?!Beryl was as evil as a demon!Meanwhile, Silas carefully brought over a bowl of noodles that he had prepared meticulously in the kitchen to Conrad.“Sir, Ms. Sia requests to acquire a sample of your blood…”“Sure,” Conrad agreed before Silas was able to finish his sentence. This shocked Silas a great deal.Even Fia felt the same. She asked curiously, “Are you not going to ask what I’m going to do with it?”Swallowing the medicine his doctor had prescribed him earlier, Conrad’s fever had gradually subsided and thus he felt much better. He sat up on the sofa and looked at Fia sincerely. “I trust you. You aren’t going to hurt me.”“…”Biting her lips, Fia glared at him fiercely. She hated seeing him trusting her so much like this.“Fine. Get your needle and make it quick!” She ordered the doctor.After receiving the blood sample from the doctor
Silas had been sandwiched between Beryl and Conrad for the past five years. He had to work really hard in Maxwell Corporation to help Conrad maintain the Maxwells’ business empire. At the same time, he also needed to be wary of Beryl, fearing that she might stab them in the back.“I’ve been careful to make sure she didn’t have a chance of hurting Sir all these years. Yet, I didn’t think she’s this despicable!” Silas felt so saddened and furious that he rushed back to the living room.“Sir, you’ve been poisoned by your mother!”Hearing this, Conrad furrowed his brows before looking at Fia.“What do you mean?”Fia lazily sat on a chair, crossed her legs, and smirked at Conrad.“It means that someone has been drugging you in the past five years, ensuring that you do not recover your memories.”Conrad’s face turned grim upon hearing this. “No, it’s not possible! She’s my mother!”Due to losing his memories, Conrad had been very wary of people around him. He would never eat or dri
