Before Quincey left, she looked at Fia with mixed feelings. “You’re a good woman, other than your eyes, I guess. Even another woman will treat you better than your sorry excuse of a man.”Fia remembered how she told her that she was a lesbian, and she couldn’t help but look away.Quincey let out a lonely smile. “You should move Adrian and Irene to another kindergarten. I’ll ask the principal to refund your school fees.”Fia didn’t say anything. Even if Quincey didn’t have any bad intentions, she didn’t want to send her children to the same kindergarten anymore.After what happened, Fia couldn’t afford to be careless about choosing a kindergarten.After selecting the kindergarten that Maxwell Corporation ran, she could then keep an eye on the kids in the kindergarten through the surveillance cameras at any time.Quincey worked very quickly. She refunded Fia the money the second day.None of them talked with each other after that.One week later, Fia gave Quincey a call after the
After she separated from Quincey and left the cafe, Fia didn’t rush back to Maxwell Corporation. Instead, she took a walk on the nearby streets.She walked into a mall and saw Parker Group’s sign. She wanted to leave when she realized it was the Parkers’ property.“Ms. Sia!”Fia raised her head to see where the voice was coming from.Felicity was looking at her from the top of an elevator and walked toward her on her black heels.Fia glanced at her and asked, “What is it, Ms. Parker?”Felicity said, “I’ve been thinking about you. Since we’re here, can we have a chat?”Fia shook her head. “I don’t think there’s anything to talk about.”Felicity said, “What about the land that Conrad had just won at the auction?”Fia was stunned. “He already won the auction. You’re still not giving up?”“From a commercial standpoint, yes. But as a friend, I’m worried about him!” Felicity smiled gently, but Fia didn’t miss the sharpness in her eyes.“Ms. Sia, you’re someone prideful and full of
“No need for that!” Conall sighed. “Send me back. I told you we shouldn’t have come out here, but you wanted to take me out no matter what.”“But it’s not good for you to keep on lying in your bed all the time. The doctor also said that we should take you out as much as possible.”“What’s the point with a wasted body like mine?”Fia got into a taxi at the mall and remembered Felicity’s shameless face.Just then, Lucifer sent her a message asking about the kids.After replying, she quickly sent a voice message.“I want to investigate someone. Can you help me?”“Felicity Parker.”Lucifer gave it a thought and immediately called her.“You want to interfere with the Parkers’ business? Didn’t you say you don’t care about Conall? Are you worried that he’s going to die?”Fia rolled her eyes and said, “You think too much.”“Don’t think I didn’t know that you asked a doctor to tell the Parkers to let Conall go out and about. Then, the trait
“Why don’t we eavesdrop together? If I’m right, I can do one thing for you.”The normally fainthearted Silas didn’t think it through when he saw the excitement in Fia’s eyes.“You’ll really do whatever I ask?”Silas was already sure that Ms. Sia was Madam Fia, but she never acknowledged it. Tiger and he continued to call her Ms. Sia despite knowing that.If she could do one thing for him, he had to help his boss get a chance to get back together with her!Fia easily guessed what Silas was thinking. “But if I’m right, you’ll have to do one thing for me.”Silas got a headache this time.Madam really was cunning!“What? Too scared?” Fia provoked him.Back in the office.Felicity sent Conrad a video clip. “Take a look.”“What?”“Just watch.”Conrad clicked it open, and Fia’s voice was played. It was the moment Fia and Felicity confronted each other at the mall.Felicity was trying her best to advise her but Fia simply snapped back at her.Felicity asked, “Why are you getting
Felicity was stunned.Suddenly, her eyes opened wide as she stared at Conrad.“Out of nowhere... Two children...” She was completely shocked. “When Fia passed away, she had twins inside of her womb, didn’t she?”Conrad frowned. He didn’t expect Felicity to be able to realize that she was Fia.Felicity let out a maddening laughter instead. “Oh, Conrad! How foolish can you be?! Just because she looks a little like Fia... Just because she also has a pair of twins... You’re treating her like a replacement?!”Conrad chuckled and told his men to get rid of Felicity.“Don’t touch me!” Felicity got the security off her and said furiously, “You’ll regret this, Conrad! I’m the one woman that’s fit for you, but I was never in your consideration! Do you think that you can complete that project just because you have the land?! Well, I’m going to tell you right now that it’s impossible! Without the help of the Parkers, it’ll all be meaningless for you!”Conrad looked at Felicity as she left,
“You have such ambitions and a good brain. You don’t have to use them on me! Let me tell you honestly. I have been a waste of space lately because I want to quit! If you want to do it, I’ll give you all my resources!”Her manager started crying out of anger. Tugging at Lyn who hadn’t made a sound, she sobbed her complaints. “Do you hear her? Haven’t I been doing it all for her?”She touched her round tummy. “And she’s even asking me to debut? If I had her face and figure, do I even need her to tell me that? I would have long debuted and became a superstar! Good intentions are met with bad repayment!”Lyn did not dare to say a word, fearful of being implicated.Eileen ran her fingers through her hair, saying impatiently, “All of you are people I spent money to hire. How dare you plan this kind of thing without my approval! Have you thought of the consequences? Have you ever thought of how other people would view me?!”“Eileen…” Her manager vented. “In the end, aren’t you just afrai
Eileen looked at her in silence.Lyn said, "You know, Eileen, I come from a rural village and fear suffering. Although the salary you give me isn't low, standing on the side lines of this industry and seeing all of your glamor, I really envy you."Something inside Eileen seemed to crumble, and she didn't blame or mock Lyn. She reached out and held Lyn’s shoulder.In a calm tone, she said, "Go. I wish you a bright future."Before the next day, in the evening, Fia stumbled upon some negative information about Eileen.It ranged from her complicated relationship with Victor to her partying alone with some resource executives and ending up in the hospital.While there was no concrete evidence of any inappropriate transactions, the media was escalating the situation and people were very good at imagining the worst.All of Eileen’s business partners terminated their contracts, and the release of her upcoming drama was postponed. The production company, collaborators, and others were al
Fia fell silent for two seconds. "Why did you fire them? Did they conspire with others to go against you?"Initially, Eileen believed that her manager, Dawn, and Lyn had been deceived by someone. But from the moment Lyn mentioned wanting to debut, Eileen realized she had been too naive."It doesn't matter," Eileen said as she hugged Fia. "Let's have a drink. We won't go home until we're drunk!""When did you become so weak-willed, Eileen?""It's not being weak. It's just that I'm too tired." Eileen hugged Fia’s neck and kissed her cheek, choking back tears. "Right now, I just want to live quietly. Knowing that you're alive is enough for me. If the heavens let you live, I'm willing to lose everything."Fia was speechless."In life, to achieve some wishes, you have to let go of some things. I'm willing to give up everything, as long as my Fia can live peacefully for the rest of her life!"As the night grew late, the best friends leaned on each other, talking about the past and dri
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
