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
However, Sally didn’t become any happier because of it. Instead, she became even more worried.She grabbed Peter’s hand. “Pete, are you hiding anything from me? Are you going to do something dangerous again?”“It’s nothing. I just want you to be able to live your life as you wish.”Peter pulled his hand away. When he saw how miserable she was, he patted her head.“It’s really nothing. You’re already a grown-up. If you like Jason, put some more effort into it.”Sally quickly shook her head. “I’m doing quite well right now and I want to focus on my career. I don’t want to think about such personal things right now.”“Not right now?” Peter rubbed her hair. “You’re not a kid anymore. In a few more years, you’re going to be considered to be in the range of advanced maternal age.”“You’re older than me, you know!”“I’m a man. In the future, I can always find a younger wife. But you can’t find a younger husband to be pregnant for you, right?”As the siblings exchanged banter, Sally f
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
