Conrad glared at his cousin Victor with vicious eyes.

He replied, “You’re not that bad either. You always bring your fiancée to the family dinner.”

He suddenly changed his tone. “But it’s been so long. Why aren’t you married yet?”

Victor frowned and he couldn’t smile again.

Meanwhile, the woman next to him pushed his arm.

“You heard that, Victor? They’re not the first ones to tell us to get married.”

Victor patted Sapphire Starling’s hand and said, “I have my own plans about the wedding, Sapphire. Don’t worry.”

Sapphire nodded at him in understanding and then said to Conrad, “It’s not that your cousin doesn’t want to marry me, Conrad, but he’s focusing all his effort on his work. You know that, unlike you, he didn’t join the family business and started his own business.”

“Ha.” Conrad sat right opposite the two of them and said with a cold smile, “Your entertainment company is doing quite well. That especially popular celebrity of yours must have earned you quite a few coins, hu

    Lately, she could feel that Conrad was not as patient with her as before.Conrad sent Fia a text.“Why aren’t you saying anything, Conrad?”“What did you say?”Conrad raised his head and looked at Esme, his eyes unfriendly.“I was asking if you’re unhappy.”“Esme…” He paused. “To be honest with you, I don’t believe that you didn’t know that today is the Maxwell’s family dinner.”Esme said nothing.“Even if I divorced Fia, you shouldn’t have come here, not right now.”“But Sapphire is here, so why can’t I be?” Esme couldn’t hold herself back.“You’re comparing yourself to Sapphire? She is Victor’s fiancée. Who are you to the Maxwells?”As he continued, his tone became frigid. “Esme… Don’t think you two can play me like a fool!”With that, he headed out. He didn’t even want to have dinner anymore.“Are you getting angry because Fia isn’t here?” Esme shouted.Conrad stopped with her back still facing her.

    Conrad looked at her coldly.“Don’t you remember me? When Fia asked Doctor Evans to have a meal at our home, you met me while looking for Fia.”Lola gave him a sweet smile with her youthful, innocent face.Conrad narrowed his eyes. He remembered now. The seafood restaurant’s daughter.He looked at the nurse uniform she was wearing and said, “You’re a nurse at this hospital?”“That’s right!” Lola said with slight confusion in her eyes. “Why didn’t you come with Fia?“I saw Fia looking for Doctor Evans at the office. They’re… Um… Sorry, I…”She quickly covered her mouth as if she was saying something that she shouldn’t.Esme’s words echoed in his mind and Conrad wanted to confirm something.“What did you see them do?” His tone was dark like the beginning of a storm.Lola shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Don’t ask me, Mr. Maxwell. Go ask Fia yourself.”She was making it look like she didn’t dare to say a word.Conrad gritted his teeth and asked, “Helping the doctor tie

    “Is it because of me and Esme that you don’t want to remarry, but you want to cheat on me?!”Fia let out a smile full of despair and said, “I don’t want to talk to you.”How could he, who was at fault for the very thing he was condemning her repeatedly for, accuse her?Conrad tightened his fist and asked, “Esme said that you wanted a doctor to be your husband when you were little, is that correct?”“I did say something like that.”It was children's talk. Not to mention she hadn’t fallen for him yet then.But to think that Esme would use it against her like this.“So, you and that doctor…”“Conrad!” Fia cut him off. “You can humiliate me, but don’t humiliate other people. He has nothing to do with this, unlike you and Esme!”The door behind Fia opened.Echo opened the door while holding the door frame as support. “Why are you two fighting?”Conrad looked at his mother-in-law. She had lost so much weight in such a short time. Her face had lost color, and she was shaking from j

    Conrad had personally brewed a cup of tea and made a gentlemanly gesture.“Please have some tea, Mr. Reginald.”Reginald held the teacup In his hand and took a sip before putting it back down.“Long time no see, Conrad,” he said with a smile.Conrad nodded. “I didn’t know you were coming back today. If I had known, I would have gone to the airport to pick you up.”Reginald smiled. “You’re running the Maxwell Corporation so well. You must be busy every day. I wouldn’t want to disturb you.”“You’re joking, Mr. Reginald. You and my grandpa are best friends. When he was still alive, he always told me to treat you like my own grandfather.”“Your own grandfather? Haha! No, no, no. I won’t cross that boundary!” Reginald stopped his smile and looked at him severely.Conrad frowned and asked, “How long will you be back this time?”“Not for long. I’ll be going back after visiting Thea’s grave. My family members have all headed overseas, and I still need them to take care of me.”Regina

    She grabbed at Conrad’s hand with as much strength as she could muster, but to Conrad, it was merely like a cat lightly pawing at him.Conrad instinctively held her bony hand and said, “I’ll take you back to Fia and my home, alright?”Echo nodded slowly as if every action and every word had a chance of taking her life.In order to buy her some more time, Conrad asked for the ventilator to be brought with them.On their way home, Echo was so tired that she fell asleep again.Fia stared at her chest with her eyes wide. Only when she saw that her chest was rising and falling did she feel sure that she was alive.Once home, Fia remained by her mother’s side, guarding her. She refused to go anywhere and refused to eat or drink.At night, she would sleep close to her mother. She didn’t dare to close her eyes as she listened to her mother’s light breathing.The next morning, Conrad opened the door to the guestroom.“Go eat some breakfast. I’ll take care of Mom.”Fia shook her head.

    ”Fi… Fia…” Echo’s shaking hand touched Fia’s face and she used all her strength to say her daughter’s name.She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her hand dropped.Fia’s tears continued to toll, but she was completely frozen.She could no longer feel her mom’s breathing.“What an accursed woman!” Beryl cursed. “Why don’t you die outside?!”“Ah!” Fia instantly transformed all her sorrow into wrath and pounced on Beryl.She didn’t care anymore. Just as Beryl fell to the ground, Fia got on top of her and began to hit her and scratch her face.Beryl still had the strength to yell and curse, but it didn’t take long before she lost her strength to fight back.“Save me! She’s going mad! Save me now!”Originally, Conrad wanted to stop the fight. But when he saw that his mother couldn’t fight back and Fia wouldn’t be disadvantaged, he stopped.It was his mother’s fault this time. Fia needed a channel to let out all her sorrow.“Stop it, you brat! If you don’t stop, I’ll tell my son t

    “No thanks!”A car stopped right next to the two of them and Jason got out of the car.“Where are you headed to, Fia? I’ll take you there.”“Thank you, Evans.”Conrad raised his fist wanting to stop them, but the servant from the other end of the call wouldn’t stop talking. He had no choice but to return to the family residence first.Fia saw Conrad off and gave him nothing but a sneer.What was she hoping for from him?“Let’s go, Fia.” Jason opened the door to the passenger’s seat. Fia took a ride in his car while holding the urn. “Please bring us to Mount Reditus.”“Of course.”On top of Mount Reditus, the birds were chirping and the flowers were blooming.It was the first time they were climbing up the mountain.Standing at the top of Mount Reditus, they could see the entire city of Gryphon.“Are you sure you want to leave her here, Fia?”In their tradition, it was said that they would only find peace in death when they were buried underground.“My mom had been worki

    “What’s there to be worried about? I’m just taking care of you as a friend.”Jason smiled gently and hid the feelings in his heart.It was only at this moment did Fia realize that he was wearing a shirt and pants, and the necktie he was wearing was the one she gave him.When she remembered how bothered Conrad was with Jason, she insisted on pulling her hand away.“We’ll just have to go slower.”Jason frowned. He could see her rejection, so he didn’t force the matter and slowed down.However, the two of them didn’t expect it to start raining heavily when they were only halfway through.The rain came without warning. Fia wanted to move quicker, but she accidentally slipped.“Careful!” Jason was alert enough and saw what was happening, so he pulled her into his arms.Someone saw what happened on the mountain.“Fia!” Conrad’s roar was like a clap of thunder. He surprised Fia so much that she pushed Jason away.Jason had wanted to let go, but when he saw that she was about to sli

    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
