As Conrad and Lucifer exchanged words, the atmosphere got awkward.Silas glanced at Conrad, to Lucifer, and then back again. He wasn’t sure what Lucifer was trying to say.Despite how he was being courteous toward his boss and showed that he cared…Silas felt his senses tingling.Conrad stared at Lucifer for another two seconds before asking, “Seems like you’re interested in me a lot?”“Of course I am. The young hero of the business world… How can others not be impressed?“But who knew that you almost didn’t survive after letting a car run you over because of your dead wife, and that you lost your memories as a result of that.“I wonder if I should feel pity for how you and your wife aren’t meant to be together, or if I should praise you for your persistence.”Lucifer then let out a pretentious sigh. “So many kings and heroes couldn’t escape the stings of beauties since ancient times.”Conrad’s expression became even colder. “I don’t know what you’re trying to say to me.”“Yo
When Silas finished his explanation but saw how Conrad was unmoved, he realized that this was the result he wanted.“Thank you,” Conrad said faintly. “You should leave.”“Let me stay with you.”“I’m going to sleep. You don’t need to be here.”Silas said nothing.When Conrad saw that he wasn’t leaving, he said, “Stay at the company tomorrow. Without me there, things will go out of hand if you’re absent too.”“Alright. I’ll leave in a while.” Silas was still worried. He was hoping that Conrad would tell Tiger to come back.But he said that he still hadn’t fully recovered his memories. He couldn’t remember how to log into the Training Camp’s site.But now, even he suspected that it was not that his boss hadn’t recovered his full memories… He simply didn’t want to look for Tiger.“I’m going to bed now. You’ll only disturb me if you stay here!” Conrad’s tone was cold and filled with disdain.Silas had no more excuses to stay. After arranging for the bodyguards and caretaker, he le
Since Conrad had regained his memories today, he had been thinking about what had happened in the past five years. He hadn’t thought about Sia and her children yet.But now, they were in his mind thanks to Adrian’s call.Sia’s temperament was different from Fia’s, and she had a different skin color. Even her facial features were generally different from hers.But why would he feel upset when he first saw her when he didn’t have his memories? Was it all because her voice was the same as Fia's?Then he remembered how he woke up five years ago and fell into Beryl, Felicity, and Annie’s trap. Suddenly, he was disgusted with his affection for Sia.Perhaps it was because his slight dependence on Felicity and Annie made others think that they saw his weakness.And they created a woman like her!Felicity and Annie could already deceive him despite their voices being only slightly like Fia's because of their blood relation!Then, what about a woman like Sia whose voice was the same as F
If those benefits ended up in Beryl’s hands, at least it would end up with the Maxwells in the end.But if Beryl gave it to someone else, then she would have wasted everything she did in the past five years!Beryl suddenly realized that she couldn’t stand up straight when she looked into Felicity’s inquisitive eyes.She could rightfully say that she didn’t owe her son anything.No children could hate their mothers in the end!She was his mother! That was her right!But she and Felicity had no relationship at all. However, Felicity had been treating her well in the past five years all things considered. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t touched.She had lived for so long and no one had treated her that well.“Aunt Beryl, you…” Felicity shook her head in disappointment.However, she had already seen plenty of shake-ups during her time as the CEO of Parker Group.Beryl’s eyes had already proven that Conrad was right.“I’m so sorry, Felicity. All I could do is let Conrad mar
Silas simply stared at Beryl coldly. He knew he shouldn’t hold any hope for her.“You said you remembered everything. Why don’t you kill yourself?!” Beryl said wickedly after she was done laughing.“Didn’t you say you couldn’t face her death five years ago? And said you wanted to die with her?”Conrad looked at Beryl silently, having no mood to even say a word.The bond between them was already gone. They would only grow even more resentful if they looked at each other.“Why don’t you say anything? You didn’t remember anything, did you? You’re just lying to me!”Beryl questioned him.Conrad heard footsteps and turned to look at the door.A tall figure and two small figures were standing by the door. The two children looked inside curiously.When Beryl saw the three of them, she angrily yelled, “What are you looking at? There’s nothing interesting to see when I’m talking to him!”Fia wanted to leave with her children.However, the two of them let go of her hand and ran in.“
Fia continued, “I’m leaving the fruits by the door. Please help yourself later.“We don’t want to interrupt you, so we’ll be leaving. Please continue.”She took her children’s hands and turned around, wanting to leave.But she had just taken a few steps when Beryl furiously questioned her, “Who exactly are you?!”“Well, I’m just a woman that loves freedom. I don’t see myself as anyone in particular,” she said without even turning back.Beryl kept on feeling that Sia was a strange woman and chased after her.“You better tell me why you’re suddenly approaching Conrad!”She coughed Fia’s arm.Fia simply sneered. “I didn’t approach him.”“Let go of my mommy!” Irene yelled and gave Beryl’s leg a kick.“You uneducated little child!” Beryl raised her hand, wanting to give Irene’s head a smack.“You dare?” Fia simply raised her hand and caught Beryl’s wrist, applying some pressure to stress her bone.Beryl immediately screamed out in pain.Conrad simply sat there and watched, like
The bodyguard shook his head. When he saw that Conrad wasn’t looking at him, he carefully said, “The lady didn’t say anything. She simply said a few words to your mother.”“I see.”“Sir, do you need anything?”“No need to guard here anymore,” Conrad said.The bodyguard immediately put on a sad face. “Is it because I did something wrong?”“I’m getting discharged,” Conrad said as he walked out with his cane.The bodyguard quickly followed him. “Mr. Silas said that you’re sick and need to rest more in the hospital and that you shouldn’t tire yourself out.”Conrad didn’t say anything and simply smacked him with his cane.The bodyguard was in so much pain that he almost fell to his knees.“I’m not weak,” Conrad said and left.The bodyguard quickly gave Silas a call.Silas was surrounded by members of the upper management who were asking about Conrad’s status and couldn’t leave. He had no choice but to give Kent a call.Kent was in Sally’s office.“Discharged? I just asked the d
"You haven't regained your memory?" Sally looked utterly bewildered."Your brother isn't a good man. Jason had his eyes on my wife. You have unrequited feelings for Jason. Is there anything else you want to know?" Conrad raised his head to look at Sally. His eyes and tone were both cold.Sally crouched down. She frowned and said, "So, when you say you don’t know, what does that mean?""Esme can fake her death and return to life. She had her corpse and DNA switched," he paused, "Why couldn't Fia do the same?"Sally stared straight at his grim face, unable to argue. She had thought also thought the same before.He said all of those things without any emotions, as if he had become a different person. This aspect puzzled her."If Fia isn't dead, what do you want to do?""You have no right to ask this," Conrad turned away, his voice growing even colder. "Let your brother come to me himself. Don't make me go looking for him.""...Mr. Maxwell, my brother doesn't know about what
