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
“Sure, go ahead! Just divorce me! We’ll see how you get by glued on this bed without me helping you!”…Having bought a lot of seafood from the market, Fia prepared a feast for dinner.When Adrian and Irene were enjoying their scrumptious meal, the doorbell rang.“I’ll get it.” Lucifer got up and walked to the door.Fia did not protest. She did not have the mood to see Conrad if he happened to come by again. So, it was better for Lucifer to open the door.However, it was not Conrad at the door. It was a woman, clad in thick layers of coat, sweater, a face mask, and sunglasses.Lucifer looked at the woman inquisitively. “Erm, how may I help you?”“You’re… You’re Coach, right?”“Coach?” Lucifer was even more confused upon hearing that.Eileen quickly took off her face mask and sunglasses and beamed brightly at him. “Coach! It’s me, Eileen!”Lucifer was stunned upon seeing her. However, it did not take long before he regained his composure and smiled back at her politely.“I d
“Go on, keep on talking. What? Cat got your tongue?” Fia said sarcastically, “Or perhaps you got stumped because you can’t keep up with your own lies anymore?”“Ms. Sia, it’s all a misunderstanding. I really didn’t know that you and Mr. Guthrie are married!” Eileen tried to explain again anxiously.Lucifer cautiously opened his mouth and asked, “Eileen, may I know how you and my wife got to know each other?”“I…”“Ha! Through lies and deception, that’s how!” Fia interjected cynically.“No, I did not. Ms. Sia, you’ve got to believe me.” Eileen then turned to Lucifer anxiously. “Mr. Guthrie, please. You’ve got to help me explain to Ms. Sia.”“All right.” Lucifer walked to Fia and petted her head.“Honey, you’ve misunderstood me. It’s true. There’s nothing fishy going on between me and Eileen.”“Don’t touch me!” Fia put on a frustrated, furious face and said, “You men are all pigs! Well, to be fair, some women are shameless pigs too. Hmph! All they know is seducing others’ husband
“…” Fia stared at him speechlessly for a few seconds before saying, “You can stay in the kids’ entertainment room. We’ve got a new bed over there. Even the blanket’s new. There’s also a closet that you can use in there.”Lucifer raised an eyebrow and said, “But they all said we’re husband and wife. Why should we sleep in separate rooms?”“Don’t push it, Lucifer Guthrie!”“Well, aren’t you worried that they might suspect anything if we don’t act the part?”Fia smirked cynically and said, “I see. Sure, if you can handle me, we can sleep in the same room!”“…”This time, it was Lucifer who did the silent stare. He did not expect her to say that.Rolling her eyes at the man, Fia took Lucifer’s luggage and prepared to hang up his clothes. Pulling a long face, Lucifer grabbed the luggage and clothes from her hands.“Where’s the entertainment room?”Fia gave him a side-eye and asked, “Didn’t you want to sleep in my room?”“Don’t make me ask a second time!”Fia pointed at the door t
“Visit her? For what?” Conrad glared at her and asked, “To drink her soup? Or to drink that drug in her soup?”“Conrad, what are you thinking? Aunt Beryl loves you very much. Why are you suspecting her of hurting you?” Felicity said anxiously.“Could you vouch for her innocence though?” Conrad looked into Felicity’s eyes and asked, “You are smarter than Annie, right?”“…”Felicity fell silent upon hearing that. Of course, she knew that Conrad being unable to recover his memories was all Beryl’s doing. However, she had brought him for full checkups in the hospital. And the reports stated that there was no issue with his health!So, she did not believe that Beryl could do anything to harm Conrad. After all, no mother would hurt their own child. From what she observed in the past five years, Beryl had been taking good care of Conrad like a good mother.“You knew, didn't you?” Conrad became gradually enraged from watching her being silent. “Does Annie know too?”Struggling to come u
