"Okay." Eileen didn't ask him how he was going to do it. As long as he could get the drug, it was fine.After the meal was finished, the two walked out of the restaurant and went their separate ways, neither of them looking back.But they were still photographed when they were parting ways.When Victor returned home, the lights were not turned on.He fumbled to turn on the light and was startled by the person in front of him."What are you doing!"Sapphire’s face was sallow, and she stared at Victor with the dark circles under her eyes."Where have you been?"Victor took off his tie irritably. "Company.""Who went to the company to meet you?" Her tone became gloomy.Victor suddenly turned his head and looked over. "Did you get someone to keep an eye on me?"“Is there a need?” Sapphire said sarcastically. "Miss Reid is much more popular than she was five years ago. So many people are watching her every move!"Victor frowned and took out his phone, and immediately saw the hot
Peter replied, “I don’t seem to have any grudges with you, do I?”“You don’t have any with me, but you do with my cousin.” Victor sighed.“When he regains his memory and knows everything, it would be inevitable that he would take action against you, right?“By helping him regain his memory, you'll earn some merits, and he's the kind of person who repays kindness. When the time comes, the merits and demerits will balance out." For a moment, Peter fell silent.Victor held his shoulder even tighter. "So, how about it? Isn't this a good business opportunity?"Peter looked at the bodyguards in black surrounding him. Alone, he couldn't do anything, and he certainly couldn't fight them.The bodyguards stared at him sternly, as if he would get beaten up in the next moment if he didn't speak up.“Mr. Hall, I'm also considering your well-being," Victor continued. "You saw the outcome with Esme, right? She followed a devious, despicable master. What kind of consequences do you think you'
“Mr. Maxwell, your body still contains memory suppressing drugs. The two of them will clash. Your body won’t be able to take it.” Peter thought about the pitiful Fia and reminded him out of kindness.It was also a prior clarification, to avoid him seeking trouble with him after.“As long as I am able to regain my memories, I am able to endure any kind of suffering.”Conrad did not hesitate.He had already become a lame man and now he had more and more questions. He was suspicious of the cause of his initial car crash.He was a grown man. How could he get hit by a car just by crossing the road? It wasn’t like he was blind."Can we go inside?" Victor asked impatiently.Regardless of whether he had lost his memory or not, this guy was always so impolite.He didn't even know how to invite his cousin inside when he saw him!"Please come in." Conrad stepped aside and showed them the way, his attitude slightly improved since Victor had brought along the pharmacist.Once inside, Vict
Peter couldn't help smiling faintly.Victor did not hate Conrad as much as rumored.Even the master's messages had their moments of failure."Such as suddenly not being able to hear people talking, or suddenly everything going dark and you can't see, or maybe even not being able to speak." Peter calmly described. All of these were possibilities.His gaze fell on Conrad’s injured leg. "Also, your leg might be in more pain."Victor’s face darkened. "Are you trying to mess with me?""Didn't you bring me here for this?” Peter ridiculed. “If you don't trust me, why did you bring me here?"Victor asked, "Is there no way to help him recover his memories without any discomfort?"Peter replied, "If it was just beginning, I would have. But after five years, with other drugs still present in his body, I can't guarantee that.""Alright, give me the drug," Conrad demanded, giving Victor a hostile look. "Stop talking so much."Victor chuckled and took a sip of his drink. "I hope that when
“What happened to your car! Where did you hit it? Are you injured?”Peter got out of the car with a gentle smile. “I was a little exhausted tonight and accidentally hit a roadside guardrail. I’m fine.”Sally pulled him over and after a check, and ensuring that he was fine, she finally let out a sigh of relief."In the future, be more careful and drive slower. If you ever feel too tired, just give me a call, and I'll come pick you up.""Let you pick me up? You're always working late." Peter teased.Sally sighed. "I have been quite busy these days, but I'll try to take it easy from now on.""Your workload doesn't depend on your schedule. The hospital will contact you as the director for any emergencies," Peter said as he ruffled Sally’s hair. Then he looked toward the front door and asked, "Are Mom and Dad asleep?""They're asleep." Sally noticed his complicated expression and asked quietly, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"“Let's go to my study."The siblings
“Ms. Sia, do you think he might die?” Eileen suddenly tossed a rather unexpected question at her.Fia frowned and answered, “He won’t die.”“He doesn’t deserve to die just yet. He didn’t even die five years ago.”Letting out a sigh, Eileen said, “We live in the same building now, Ms. Sia. My apartment is right below yours.”“…”Fia kept quiet, not knowing how to answer her.“So, can I visit you now? Your children are asleep, right? So, I figured you’d have the time for a chat now.”Checking the clock on the wall, Fia said, “It’s almost 10PM. You should go to bed, Ms. Reid.”“Oh, it’s okay. You see, I’m a night owl. So, I can’t really sleep right now even if I lie on the bed. But if you’re feeling sleepy then… then perhaps we’ll chat some other time…”Hearing the dejected tone in Eileen’s voice, Fia could not help answering, “I don’t usually sleep that early either.”“So I can visit you now?”“Sure.”“Yay! You finally agreed!” Eileen was so happy that she jumped down from he
“Ms. Reid, I suggest you stop daydreaming. I am Sia Stewart, not that friend of yours.”“My friend had surgery when she was little because of a tumor in her throat.” Eileen asked, “Does that mean she cannot receive any voice changing surgery?”“How would I know? You should forward this question to a surgeon,” Fia answered indifferently.“Sigh, alright. Let’s not talk about that anymore. Let’s talk about…”“I do not have a lick of interest in Mr. Maxwell. Ms. Reid, please do not ask me to do the impossible,” Fia interjected Eileen right away.Eileen shrugged with a bitter smile and said, “You’re quite an interesting woman, you know? There are so many women still swooning over Conrad even after he’s lost a leg. They would do anything to get close to him. This is such a golden opportunity… Why won’t you take the chance?”“Golden opportunity, you say? Sure, then why don’t you do it?” Fia said cynically. “Me? Oh, forget it! I am not interested in him at all.” Eileen lowered her head
“…” Hearing Fia’s words, Eileen could do nothing but beamed an awkward smile at her. “Wow, you’re really sharp, aren’t you? Can’t you be just a little dull? Being a girl who’s a little of a dunderhead would win the heart of many men, you know?”Hearing this, Fia answered with a sharp cynicism, “Really? Who’d truly love a truly slow-witted fool? Those men… They say they prefer women who're a little dumb because they want an ego boost. Or perhaps, they find women much more exploitable when they’re intelligently vulnerable.”Hearing this, Eileen was so stunned that she could not refute that at all. “Ms. Reid, I believe you’re not one of those dumb women. If you’re one, you wouldn’t make it this far in the entertainment industry.” Fia curled a bitter smile and said, “You have no idea just how much hurt and woe idiots have to endure in life.”She was no idiot. Yet, she had fallen for Conrad Maxwell. So, when they were married, she allowed herself to become an idiot. She stooped so lo
