"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.”
The next day.After Tiger, who had gotten drunk, woke up, he washed up and shaved before leaving. “Tiger!” Charles shouted.Tiger frowned and sized him up. “Who are you?”“I… I am Mr. Maxwell’s driver, Charles Leonard,” Charles said cheerily. “You look much more energetic today than you did last night.”Tiger nodded. “Are you from the camp?”“What camp? I’m not from the army. I used to race cars.“Five years ago, Mr. Maxwell was wandering like a lost soul and got hit by me. Later on, I…”After Tiger heard the full story, his gaze was cold and sharp.“So you’ve been Mr. Maxwell’s driver for the past five years?”“That’s right! I’m Mr. Maxwell’s personal driver. Silas says that Mr. Maxwell doesn’t trust people easily. It must have been fate that arranged for me to be his driver.”“Alright.” Tiger adjusted his collar. “Work hard and don’t betray Mr. Maxwell.” "Rest assured, even if someone holds a knife to my throat, I won't betray Mr. Maxwell!" Charles said seriously."I
Tiger then mentioned the phone call to Sophia.Conrad said sarcastically, "You think she's still alive based on that?"“Sir, I know it sounds absurd, but my gut feeling tells me she is still alive."“If she is alive, why did she disappear and not show herself?”“…Sir, do you really think Madam is dead?” Tiger did not mention that he felt Fia was not dead.Without evidence, he could not directly say it.Conrad’s amber eyes narrowed slightly. "It's been five years. Don't you think discussing this topic is pointless?"Tiger looked bewildered, not understanding the meaning behind Conrad’s words."Even if she's not dead, I haven't searched for her in five years, and I reckon any remaining sentiment is long gone."He chuckled. "Who knows, she might have already formed a new family."Tiger was stunned.“Is there a problem?” Conrad looked at him seriously.Tiger swallowed. “You, you… Are there some things you have yet to recall?”The air grew tense for a few seconds. Conrad’s tone
She stood in front of them, holding a trash bag, with no intention of striking up a conversation.Conrad stared at the back of her head, feeling a slight headache coming on again.Whenever he saw this woman, his emotions became uncontrollable.“Sir, are you okay?" Tiger noticed that Conrad had sweat forming on his forehead, which was unusual for such cold weather."It's nothing," Conrad replied, casting a quick glance back at Fia, who was sizing him up, trying to remain calm.Tiger suddenly glared at Fia and asked, "Miss, are you acquainted with Mr. Maxwell?”“Not at all.” Fia turned her head away. Having not met for five years, Tiger was not as even-tempered as he had been in the past and was like a porcupine.“Then you…”The conversation was interrupted as the elevator doors opened on the next floor, and a tall, slender woman, wrapped up like a dumpling, entered."Good morning, Ms. Sia." She greeted her."Morning," Fia replied with mixed feelings.It seemed like everyone l
Tiger looked at the two people’s backs and said somewhat weakly, “They seem to have quite a good relationship.”Conrad had nothing to say.Tiger said, "It seems that Ms. Reid has a straightforward and fiery temper, and she doesn't have friends within the circle except for Madam.""Is that so?" Conrad was unaware about this.Initially, before Eileen grew closer to Fia, Fia had been gentle. Her fiery temper had only developed more noticeably after she met with Eileen.Plus, with Eileen’s past romantic entanglement with Victor, he disliked her even more.“Sir, what is Ms. Sia’s origins?”“Silas has investigated her before, and it was found that there was no problem." With a slight pinch of his temple and him leaning on his cane, Conrad continued to walk forward.Tiger suppressed his suspicions. Regardless of who Ms. Sia was, he was determined to find out about her!As they exited Aurora Residences, a group of reporters swarmed them.Tiger stretched out his arms to shield Conrad
