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
Silas was surprised to hear this, “You mean Doctor Sally? No no! She’s a really kind, goodhearted doctor! She would never hurt you!”“Have you forgotten how she injured me from her clumsy injection the last time she’s in my office?” Conrad said grimly.“…” Silas frowned in silence.To him, Sally was a really kind woman. Even though she had feelings for Jason, Sally had never hurt Fia out of jealousy.“I suppose Doctor Sally was just too nervous when treating you.”Conrad looked at him intently, “Silas, do you have feelings for that doctor?”“What? No!” Silas answered anxiously, “I do not have feelings for her!”It was true. Silas had no feelings for Sally. He was defending her because of her good relationship with Fia. There was no way he would fall for Doctor Sally! No way! He was not Kent! He would fall for someone who’d never love him back!“If you don’t have feelings for her, why did you defend her so much just now?” Conrad’s piercing words got sharper.“Sigh. Sir, what do
She was not worthy of him.Right from the start."Wait a moment."She lowered her head to treat the wounds of a mother and son, then stood up with the medical kit and smiled at him."Shall I treat you to a meal?""Sure."She led him through the damp and moldy alley to a shabby restaurant.She ordered two bowls of noodles in the local language, sat down at the old table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it vigorously.Conrad looked at her. It was obvious that she was different from before.She had gone through hardship, suffering, despair, and then settled down.The noodles were not delicious. There was no oil or salt, and even the soup was bland and tasteless.He looked at her sallow face and said, "Is this what you've been eating the whole year you’ve been here?""This is considered a good meal." Annie did not complain and said that she usually just ate some steamed buns.The conditions here were poor and backward in various ways.Moreover, Lucifer was determined to ma
Fia stood on the streets, looking at the photos and remembering what Lucifer had once mentioned."When everything is over, how about I take you, Adrian, and Irene on a trip?"The man's blue eyes were like the sea, looking at her deeply.She fell into a daze for a moment back then.After coming back to her senses, she replied without emotion, "You should find a partner and travel around the world, and I should live a good life with my children."The sound of car horns on the road brought Fia back from her thoughts.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds and remembered the beggar boy she met on the bridge when she was a child.If he hadn't been taken away that day, would it have been different if he managed to wait until she and her mother went to find him?The days ahead were still very long, and she was not sure whether she would be able to live peacefully with Conrad in the future.But she would never swallow her anger like she did before.Later, Conrad, a decisive char
Irene whimpered, turned around, and hugged Adrian. "Adrian, does Daddy not want us anymore?""No, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?""I heard him, but why do we have to choose? I won't be happy no matter who Mommy marries.""Shut up!" Adrian was a little anxious. If this silly sister of his said in front of everyone that their mommy could marry two men, it would be over!"Why shut up? Why can't we be with Mommy, Daddy, and our biological dad..."Adrian immediately covered her mouth. He knew that this sister of his could not speak normal words!Everyone in the audience also had mixed emotions. Those who originally complained about Lucifer’s actions all became quiet at this moment.With Lucifer’s blessings, Conrad took off the mask.Fia looked at him, tears rolling down her face.How much she had wished to have a wedding back then. She did not expect it to be so many years late.Conrad said with difficulty, "I didn't expect him to do this either."He w
"Do you really want to stop the wedding?" Lucifer smiled half-heartedly, looking at him like a fool.***"What's going on? Why hasn't the groom come yet?" Everyone couldn't help discussing.Fia stood on the stage and exchanged looks with the emcee.Both of them were a little tired from standing.The emcee asked her awkwardly, "The groom?""He should be coming soon." After Fia finished speaking, the wind blew and revealed her face under the veil. "Just wait."The emcee cursed internally. 'It's really rare to have a wedding with such a beautiful bride kept waiting.'Fia fiddled with the veil on her head to cover her face, making her hazy beauty even more attractive.Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, the music suddenly changed to a more passionate one.The groom appeared.Wearing a black suit with gold threads and a blue rose on his chest, the six-foot-two man wore a golden mask on his face.With just one glance, Fia’s heart suddenly jumped and her body temperature bec
The two kids could only rush back to find their mother and tell her what happened.Fia did not panic. "You were raised by Daddy. Don't you trust him? He is a man who keeps his promises. He said he is just inviting them to the wedding, so they are just attending the wedding."Even though she was suspicious in her heart, she would not speak ill of him to her two children.This island belonged to Lucifer, and his spies were everywhere.If he was infuriated, no one stood to gain anything from it."But that person was not arranged to sit down. He was taken into the woods," Adrian said anxiously.Fia turned to look at her son. "Are you worried about him?"Adrian could not look directly at her.Irene spoke first. "I'm the one who’s worried. I don't want them to fight.""Oh." Fia reassured them. "It should be fine. Today is a special day. Your daddy will not want to see blood."She thought Lucifer was simply afraid that Conrad would cause trouble, so he brought him to the island to l
Amused, Lucifer said, "Those people are not under my command.""They gave you all the companies under their names. You said you'd let bygones be bygones, but if you go back on your word, how will your subordinates see you?"Fia’s eyes were a little arrogant.Lucifer’s expression turned cold and he stared at her and said, "How important do you think Hellish Training Camp is to me?""Then give it away!" Fia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing.Lucifer was speechless for a couple of seconds and explained to her seriously in a rare instance, "Those people have sacrificed a lot since they started following me. I can't ignore them. Except one day when there is a more suitable successor. I will take the initiative to give up my position.""Then you have to lead them well." Fia smiled slyly.Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred. "Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a housekeeper. From now on, must everything I do have your permission?"Fia said, "Invisible shackles."On
"I got it.""Thank you, Daddy!" Adrian kissed him twice on the face. "My sister and I will take care of you until you die.""Hahahaha!" Lucifer could not stop laughing. "Okay, I'll wait until you two grow up to see me off."He smiled while carrying Adrian and walked to Fia and Irene.Irene was eating something and said vaguely, "Adrian’s temper is getting worse now, and he lost his temper with me.""Who is angry with you!" Adrian slid off Lucifer. "Who do you think you are, that you can influence me?""Mommy, Adrian is shouting at me!" Irene pouted.Adrian turned his back. "Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore."Lucifer and Fia looked at Irene."Mommy, Daddy, what are you looking at me for?" Irene blinked, looking innocent.Lucifer sat down beside her. "Adrian should love you, but you should also respect him.""Didn't I respect him?" Irene was a little confused.Fia said, "While I'm still here, you just spread rumors that he is angry with you."Irene replied, "But he was
Eileen returned to the living room."Is she really going to marry Lucifer?" Victor asked nervously.Eileen remained silent.Victor threw the spatula in his hand. "Can't you stop her for a bit?""Why should I stop her? No matter who she marries, she will always be my best friend!" Eileen said angrily. "Whoever wants to stop her should stop her on their own!"Victor saw that she was angry and quickly picked up the spatula. "I'm going to cook."Eileen rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through her phone.Thinking of Adrian and Irene, she could not help but feel a little irritable.What if Fia and Lucifer had a child in the future?For the happiness of the two children, she forwarded the photo sent by Fia to Conrad.After Conrad received the photo, he immediately ordered everyone under him to put down all work and find the location in the photo.Three days later.The wedding on the island was beautifully decorated, dreamy and gorgeous, with Lucifer’s involvem
Soon, Fia knew what they were doing with just a little of the decoration showing.Decorating the wedding venue.Irene was a little girl who was very happy when she saw balloons and pink ribbons.She ran over and grabbed them, but her brother, Adrian, slapped her little hand."Don't cause trouble!""So beautiful! These uncles and aunts were invited by Daddy. Can't I play with these things?"Adrian pinched her cheek and said, "That's Daddy decorating the wedding scene for Mommy!""What?" Irene immediately retracted her hand and said with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Adrian rubbed her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don’t simply meddle. It should be beautiful when it's done."Irene nodded, took her brother’s hand and hid under a nearby coconut tree, and spent the whole day doing nothing except cooking and watching them.By evening, the dreamy and beautiful wedding scene was mostly completed.Irene leaned against her brother and asked dully, "Daddy and Momm
