“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
She pointed at Argonauts Corp with her chin.“Felicity, this woman hit me!” Annie ran over to Felicity, extremely aggrieved.“What did you do?” Felicity looked at Annie’s swollen cheek. “Did you offend her?”“She is the married woman who lives under Conrad dear.” Annie’s voice was soft. “I have already said before that she isn’t a good person. Just now I bumped into her meeting Mr. Evans.”Felicity looked at “Sia Stewart” in surprise.Fia returned a faint smile. “Are you also here to advise Mr. Evans not to fight with Mr. Maxwell for the market share?”“Do you know Mr. Evans very well?”“Not at all. It’s just that I can’t bear to watch the two of you.”After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.Annie covered her face and embellished her story, exaggerating how Fia had insulted her and their family.Over the years, Felicity had become more and more assertive and couldn't tolerate such things.When she got back with Annie, she met her uncle, Finn.“Dad, Felicity
“Uncle, Conrad and I will definitely have a good start and a good end. His mother has always liked me.”“Don’t blame me for making things sound bad, but from what I see, what his mother likes isn’t you but rather your identity and position!”Hearing this, Felicity got up and said, “I’m tired. I’ll be going to rest now.”Finn sighed. Every time he met her over the past five years, he would advise her to stay away from Conrad.However, this child had her heart set in stone.As an uncle, he could only give advice. The most important ones to guide her were still ultimately her parents.However, his elder brother was bedridden all year round and he couldn’t bring this up to anger him, having no choice but to keep it hidden as well.“Dad, your sweet rice wine glutinous balls are done. Try them.” Annie served him a bowl.Finn said gently, “Thank you. Scoop a bowl and send it over to Felicity.”“Alright, Dad!”After finishing the sweet rice wine glutinous balls his daughter prepared,
“Follow me back and stay with me. Don’t stay here anymore!”“Dad, what’s wrong? I was just talking to Felicity.”“What is there to talk about?!” Finn pulled Annie toward the car. “People don’t even consider you family. Why bother to act all chummy with them!”“Dad, did you argue with Aunt Joy? She’s just all bark and no bite. She even scolds Felicity every day.“As long as Felicity doesn’t disdain me, you don’t have to care what Aunt Joy says!”“Child, why are you still so naive!” Finn angrily pushed his daughter into the car. “Over these five years, Felicity has been busy with work and did not have enough time. That’s why she got you to accompany Conrad. Felicity is just using you!”“Dad, you shouldn’t say that about Felicity. She really treats me well.” Annie could doubt anyone except her cousin.If not for her cousin bringing her to meet Conrad and his mother, how could she have gotten so close to them over the last couple of years?She knew that her cousin was smart, and kn
“Yeah, I know about that.” Felicity took a sip of sweet wine and said, “Conrad wanted to acquire an apartment in Aurora Residences. So, I had Annie sell hers to him. After all, she’s not living there so she might as well sell it instead of leaving it empty.”Joy raised her voice and said, “Don’t you know she’s going there almost every day to seduce him?!”“…”Felicity frowned for a moment before smiling at her mother. “Mom, be honest with me. Did you send someone to follow Annie?”“Of course, I did! If I didn’t, you’d still be kept in the dark!”“Who did you ask to keep an eye on her?”“Who else? Her secretary.”Nodding her head, Felicity said, “All right. I’ll fire her tomorrow.”“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Joy was so pissed hearing that. “I put in so much effort to get her to be our spy. Yet, you want to fire her?!”“I’ll have to fire her before Annie finds out. If she learns of this, she’ll be sad.” Felicity said determinedly, “Mom, I have known for years that Annie
