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
