Conrad gave a scornful look. He was not completely forgotten.But the person who remembered him was not the person he wanted.“Can we have lunch together? We haven’t had lunch together for so long.” Annie was worried that he would refuse, so she quickly added, “My mom also asked Mr. Payne to join us.”“Sure, understood.”“Conrad, you have to come. Mr. Payne said that he really loves the painting you gave him.”“I’ll go.” Conrad hung up.Annie didn’t dare to interrupt him anymore. But since he said that he would come, he wouldn’t go back on his word. She was worried that if she pestered him, he would simply reverse his decision.In the afternoon, Silas came to pick Conrad up. When the two of them were in the elevator, they saw the “family of four”.Lucifer was holding both the children with each hand while Fia was behind him.When she saw Conrad, she nodded at him and pulled her scarf.Meanwhile, Lucifer sincerely said, “What a coincidence, Mr. Maxwell.”Conrad simply nodde
“If you’re sick, go see the doctor!” Conrad used his cane to smack Silas’ butt.“You don’t know what’s good for you!” Fia took the opportunity to say her bit, pulling her son and daughter over to educate them. “Didn’t I tell you they aren’t good people?”Adrian and Irene’s eyes were red and they were about to cry.“Alright.” Lucifer pulled her hand away. “Don’t scare the kids.”“You!” Fia raised her head and glared at Lucifer, wanting to scold him, to say that he was crazy. Why did he have to blindly get involved!However, seeing his blue eyes that had a hint of laughter, she could not say anything.She was sent here by him for a mission. She did not have any right to blame him.This person was crazy and unfathomable.She could offend anyone but him.The two children were registered under him and for them to be moved under her register still depended on his consent.“Honey, what's wrong?" Lucifer asked with a smile, seemingly in a good temper."Don't talk to strangers." Fia’
Lucifer gently pulled out a few sheets of tissue to wipe away the sweat on Conrad’s face."I’m really sorry, I can’t assist. He has had medicine that contains toxins for many years and his body has been hollowed out. He won’t be able to be cured in a short period of time. I’m no Asclepius."Fia swept him a glance, internally despising him.Everything was directed by him. Why was he acting innocent!“Honey, don’t you agree?”“Yes, I do.” Fia forced herself to cooperate with him.She was in the same boat as Lucifer was, and it would not be possible to offend Lucifer for the sake of helping Conrad.“Then, could I trouble you to explain to the kids? Otherwise, the children will blame me for watching on without assisting.” Lucifer sounded worried and his expression matched his tone.This act of his tricked Silas.Silas immediately called Sally.“Doctor Sally, Mr. Maxwell’s fallen unconscious yet again. Can you… Is surgery more important than Mr. Maxwell?“I don’t mean that, Docto
Fia shuddered and stared at Lucifer’s blue eyes in a daze.“What kind of deep hatred do you have for him?”“Why? Does your heart hurt for him?” Lucifer’s gaze was mocking.“No. I’m just curious. It has been so many years, yet you have not let him go. What exactly is the hatred between you?”“Transforming like a phoenix, reborn from the ashes.” Lucifer gently spat out the words and walked toward the carousel.The moment it stopped, he carried each child up with either hand.Lucifer and the two children turned around and smiled at Fia.At that instant, Fia experienced what was called visionary stimulation.Adrian and Irene trusted Lucifer and Lucifer liked them as well.If there wasn’t all this deceit and intrigue, it wouldn’t be so bad if they were a family.However, she knew that Lucifer was the one who couldn’t let things go, so she could not hope or count on it.What she could do was complete the last mission and leave with her children.“What’s wrong?” Lucifer saw her re
“Do you have an appointment?”“No.”The receptionist said quite apologetically, “I’m sorry, but you can’t meet Mr. Evans without an appointment.”At this moment, a series of steady footsteps came from outside the door.Fia subconsciously looked over and saw Jason, who was in the middle of the group, and immediately ran over.“Mr. Evans, I have something to discuss with you.”“Who are you? Move aside!” The security wanted to drag Fia away.Before he managed to touch her, a voice stopped him. “Wait a minute. I know her.”Jason dismissed the people around him and walked to Fia. “Why do you wish to meet me?”“You know me?” Fia was a little curious.“At the auction. Have you forgotten?”“Oh, yes. That’s right!” Fia was a little embarrassed. “Do you have time?”Jason looked at his watch and then at Fia. “Yes, let’s talk in my office.”“Sure, thank you.”In the office, he took off his coat and looked at the reserved Fia.“Ms. Sia, please take a seat.”“Thank you.” Fia sat at t
“You were once a good doctor. And a doctor’s dream is to save the dying and help the wounded. Why would you give up your dream to be where you are today?”She asked very calmly, not avoiding Jason’s increasingly terrifying gaze.“Why are you so sure that my dream is to save the dying and help the wounded?” Jason said sarcastically. “Who doesn’t wish to earn more money? What job would make me earn more than being a boss now?”Fia looked at him at a loss.Jason got up and threw away the beer can. “I accept your order. Leave your phone number. I will get someone to contact you.”Fia was a little bit disappointed. She drank a sip of water and said, “There is no need anymore. I think you are right. I don’t need to simply spend money.”She suddenly did not wish to stay even a second longer.For someone to not dare to even admit to their dreams, no matter how amazing they appeared, it showed that they were fearful within and not brave enough to even face themselves.She did not wish t
“What a rude person! How does Mr. Evans know such a person!”The secretary let go of Annie, immediately sounding cold. “Don’t you think you’re being a little intrusive?”“I’m sorry. I’m not blaming Mr. Evans. It’s just that the woman doesn’t have a good reputation and I’m worried about Mr. Evans.”Hearing this, the secretary’s expression improved.Thinking on Mr. Evans’ behalf, she inquired, “Are you close to Ms. Sia?”“She lives in Aurora Residences, and she even deliberately chose to live one floor below Conrad. She goes there with her two children to seduce him whenever she can," Annie said with increasing disdain. "What kind of woman do you think she is?"The secretary was left speechless.Hazel Lennon led Annie into the CEO’s office and told Jason what Annie had told her.“Who said those words?” Jason looked at Annie, who was sitting in the opposite seat. “Miss Parker, you put the blame on others, but why don’t you take a look at yourself to figure out the reason?”“What
Fia arched an eyebrow and smiled. "Is getting involved the only thing in your mind when it comes to relationships between men and women?“So, should it be assumed that any man who has ever spoken to you can be considered your ex-boyfriend?“For example, your male drivers, male servants, and even the male employees at Parker Group.“Oh, and let's not forget your male relatives!”Annie was stunned silly. Her face flushed and her mind went blank due to anger, and she didn't know what to say."You... You...""What about me? Compared to you, Miss Parker, I know far fewer people. Even if I were shameless, I couldn't match up to you!" Fia leaned in closer to Annie, deliberately trying to disgust her as she adjusted her clothes.“Don’t touch me!” Annie pushed away Fia’s hand, frustrated and angry. “How can there be such a shameless woman like you on this earth!”“Seems like you’re very virtuous, aren’t you? Then why worry that your “Conrad dear” might not measure up to someone else's n
