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
“Who is it?” Adrian asked.Fia looked at the door. “Who knows? Let’s just eat.”Irene glanced at her before whispering to Adrian, “Why don’t you go take a look?”Adrian had just wanted to jump down from the chair.“Finish your food!” Fia said.Adrian had to forget about it.“I’ll go,” Lucifer said as he stood up and walked to the door and opened it.Conrad held his cane tightly when he looked at the emotionless Lucifer.“Why are you here?”“You must be joking. Or did you recover your lost memories but forget that I’m the father of this family?” Lucifer said with a smile.Conrad frowned. He felt very uncomfortable, but his expression was still dispassionate.“I’m here to thank her and the children for visiting me and bringing me something I like to eat.”“She took the children to visit you? Today?” The smile on Lucifer’s face slowly disappeared.“You didn’t know?” Conrad smiled faintly. “I thought you knew.”Lucifer froze for two seconds and then yelled inside, “Sia! You t
Tiger looked at the message that Conrad sent to him as his hand tightened around his phone. His tears rolled down his cheeks as he stood up and began running.“Ah!”He ran as he screamed into the sky.Three hours later. The capital airport.Silas waited outside the arrival gate. “Where is he? Didn’t he say it’s this flight? Why isn’t he out yet?”Meanwhile, Charles asked, “Did you get it wrong? Almost everyone has come out.”“I’ll send another text!” Silas was getting nervous. He was worried that Tiger’s sudden reappearance would be a lie!The two of them were looking at their phones when a hand suddenly grabbed Silas by the shoulder.Silas turned around and asked, “Who… are you?”“You don’t recognize me anymore?” Tiger frowned, his broad face had lost a lot of his fat.Silas scanned him, and his tears almost rolled down.“How… How did you end up like this?”Tiger scratched his long hair and said, “I do look a bit messed up, don’t I? I haven’t cut my hair for a long time.”
