"Ms. Sia, you may not know the details between Mr. Maxwell and Madam Fia, but actually, Mr. Maxwell...""I have no interest in knowing." Fia interrupted Silas coldly.The elevator doors opened, and she immediately stepped out.Silas followed, dragging the suitcase along as he explained, “Ms. Sia, I didn't mean anything else. It's just that Mr. Maxwell really seems to like your two children.“I thought if he could see them, his mood would surely improve, and he wouldn't be so gloomy."Fia stopped walking and said coldly, “Improving his mood might make him more susceptible to certain illnesses."Silas was speechless. Why did she dislike Conrad so much?Fia remembered that when she was in a bad mood in the past, it had led to the development of nodules in her breast, and her pregnancy had been quite stressful.She had gone through a lot of treatments and medications to be standing here today."I think he's reaping what he sowed," she said, quickening her pace.Silas thought that
Silas was heartbroken, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably as he felt agitated and distressed."Did you give her all the shares you held?"Conrad’s tone was calm."I'm sorry, Sir, but I had no other choice."Conrad stopped speaking for a period of time.After Silas had finished crying and regained his composure, he said, "Don't worry. I'll find a way to get back the lost shares.""How are you going to do that?" Conrad’s tone remained indifferent. "I reckon they are no longer in her possession."“Madam Beryl is such a calculating person. It's unlikely anyone could trick her into giving up her shares willingly, right?"“She was not tricked. She voluntarily handed them over," Conrad said, his amber eyes becoming sharp and cold. "She's likely a puppet of someone behind the scenes."Silas was dumbfounded.If Conrad could say something like that, he must have remembered a lot.“Silas.” Conrad’s voice held a hint of pain. "Does Fia have a grave?"“…No. Back then, Madam
“Adrian, Irene, there's no need to curse him. Let's be gracious and not stoop to the level of a lunatic!" Fia guided them patiently.The two children nodded in agreement and went back to their room to play with their tablets, searching online for “lunatics”."Do you want to attend your own memorial banquet?" Lucifer teased as he helped her with the dishes.Fia chuckled dryly. "Is this your doing after taking the initiative to show your kindness to him?”"It's got nothing to do with me. I just helped wake him up, but what he does afterward to recover his memory or why he's having a memorial banquet, that's not on me."Fia put the dishes into the dishwasher and looked coldly at Lucifer who was by the kitchen door.“I don’t believe that you haven’t done anything to help him regain his memories, not even if I die.”Lucifer snapped his fingers. “That’s right. Since he wanted to regain his memories so badly, and it was annoying enough to continue working so hard like this, I sped it u
“Adrian, Irene. Mommy will always love you. I will always be with you, providing whatever you need.”Irene tilted her head and asked, “But Mommy, don’t you want to reconcile with him?”Hearing this, Adrian got a little upset. “He had treated Mommy so badly that she wanted to die! How can you ask Mommy to reconcile with that jerk?!”“But I want them to be together,” Irene said as tears welling in her eyes.She felt like this was a huge problem that she would never be able to solve. She thought Daddy was her father but he was not—it was someone else! Not only that, that person was Uncle Conrad, an uncle that she liked a lot. Yet, it turned out that this man had hurt Mommy a lot in the past.This was such an impossible problem to solve!“Are you an idiot?!” Adrian scolded his teared-up sister, “He’s a bad man! He can’t be our father!”“But… But he’s got a bad leg… He looks so pitiful… I…”Fia was hurt seeing her children become so conflicted and fighting like this. Yet, she could
“He won’t let go of his prey once he’s set on his target! He won’t let me go if he suspects me of anything!” Fia then glared at Lucifer with her red, tearful eyes. “I don’t know what’s the point of this final mission that you’ve arranged for me. But you shouldn’t expose my children to a risk like this!”Lucifer glared back at her coldly. “It’s not my intention to involve the kids.”“But it has happened anyway. Because you don’t know him! You don’t know Conrad Maxwell!” Fia grabbed her head, trying to get her hysterics under control. “Five years…! It’s been five years! Why does he suddenly want to organize the memorial now?! Could it be that he’s found out about me?!”“If he did, he wouldn’t have organized this grand memorial. He would instead come to get you,” Lucifer answered calmly.Fia frowned and glared at him. “What if he has though? What if he’s playing tricks on me?”Lucifer grabbed Fia and pressed her face on his chest, trying to soothe her.“Fia Lawson, I won’t let any
She had to find Sia. She was left with no choice but to make her brother take any medicine she obtained from her. She knew Peter had done a lot of bad things overseas. So, she had always been worried that someone would come looking to hurt him for revenge.Peter was her brother. She had to protect him with whatever she could.Half an hour later, Mrs. Hall put a hand on Peter’s forehead to check his body temperature. “Oh my, it’s still really hot!”Sally unbuttoned Peter’s shirt to perform a simple medical checkup. A few seconds later, she exclaimed in joy, “He’s sweating! Oh, thank goodness! Mom, he’s sweating! It’s a sign that the fever is fading.”“Really? You don’t have to comfort me, Sally.”“It’s true, mom! Don’t worry. Peter is getting better now. You go get some rest. I’ll look after him.”Wiping off her tears, Mrs. Hall sobbed in joy. “Thank goodness. If this goes on, I don’t know what to tell your father.”Sally patted on her mother’s back and sighed. “It’s fine now
“What is it?” Noticing Peter gawking from behind, Lucifer stopped and turned toward him impatiently.Regaining his composure, Peter said instinctively, “Nothing. It’s just that… It’s great to see you like this.”“Like this? What do you mean by that?” Lucifer looked at Peter intently with his inhospitable, cold eyes.Seeing his master's unfriendly gaze, Peter could feel extreme anxiety and fear filling his mind. Yet, he took a deep breath and worked up his courage to say it.“This is the first time I’ve seen you warming up to people. It’s great to see you like this.”“Heh, so this is what you have to say when we’re meeting for the first time? What? Is this your new, creative way of begging for my kindness?” Lucifer said sarcastically. “…”Peter dared not say more. He lowered his head and silently followed his master to the elevator. Entering it, Lucifer took a glance at the security camera as the door closed. Before exiting the elevator, they did not say a word at all.As th
“Heh, you don’t get it. She’s indeed a little smarter than the rest of you. More importantly, she had a close relationship with Conrad Maxwell so she has more use than all of you.”Finishing his words, Lucifer began gulping down the whiskey from the bottle.Staring at his master, Peter had a feeling that he was not speaking truthfully. Yet, he did not dare to call him out on it.“Are you done talking?” Lucifer gave him a cold side-eye.Remaining silent for a few seconds, Peter finally opened his mouth again.“Master, I just wish that you do not repeat my mistake.”“…”“No matter what your intention is, Ms. Sia is innocent. She’s like Britney, a victim through and through from the beginning. I hope that you do not treat her as another dispensable pawn.”Taking a deep breath, Peter continued, “I wish that you’d live a normal, peaceful life. You’ve lived such a lonely life all these years, Master. Seeing you living happily with Ms. Sia and her children… I feel that this is the lif
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
