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
"Those chaotic comments from yesterday were all because of them!" Fia felt frustrated. "Eileen, you weren't like this before.""You weren't like this before either." Eileen was clearly distressed. "Consider it a plea from me. Please don't go after Dawn and Lyn."Fia was silent."You don't understand, Fia. Dawn’s mother can't handle the stress of these things, especially because she's on dialysis. And Lyn’s family has always been in a tough financial situation, and her family members have never really respected her...""These can't be reasons for them to betray you!" Fia massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Dawn had already made an arrangement with Lyn to have Lyn take some of your resources before you lost your value!""Well, that's just human nature. Many people in this industry do the same thing." Eileen explained with a wry smile, "In this industry, many who were once pure-hearted and friends at the beginning later resort to deceit and backstabbing for their own
Returning upstairs, the two children were already dressed and had eaten breakfast with the help of Mrs. Taylor and Conrad.As soon as Conrad saw Fia, he asked, "Have you had breakfast? We just ate. I can make something for you."Fia checked the time. "No need for that. I'll take the kids to school first."Mrs. Taylor chimed in. "You can't skip breakfast. It won't take long. Wait for me.""No need, Mrs. Taylor. I'll take the kids to the kindergarten, and I'll grab something to eat along the way," Fia said as she carried one child in each arm and headed out.Conrad followed her with a bag of trash from the house. "Is Eileen doing alright?"Inside the elevator, Fia said indifferently, "She's doing very well.""How did you find the evidence about the things that Eileen went through that no one knew about in the past?" Conrad couldn't help but ask, his curiosity getting the better of him.Fia’s lips curved into a cold smile. The things that he referred to as unknown were Victor’s pa
If it weren't for confirming the DNA of the two children, he wouldn't be a hundred percent sure that she was Fia."Conrad, this Sia Stewart is truly a terrifying woman! You must not be deceived by her!"Felicity sent him a voice message.The veins on Conrad's forehead throbbed, and he immediately blocked her.Felicity sent another message, but it indicated that she had been blocked, which infuriated her and made her scream and flip the table."Miss Parker, what's going on?" Her secretary rushed in, surprised. Felicity had always been polite and rarely lost her temper.Felicity’s chest heaved violently. "Put down everything you're doing and help me investigate someone!""Actually, you don't need to stoop to her level.""Hmm?" Fia looked at Conrad sitting at the desk and realized he was talking about Felicity.She said sarcastically, "Why? Are you feeling sorry for her?"Conrad was speechless for a few seconds. "I just don't want you to make yourself unhappy.""Is that so?" Fi
"Why didn't she call me?" Conrad slammed the table and stood up. "Does she even consider me her boss?"Silas dared not make a sound.He felt that if Fia continued like this, Conrad might be driven insane and revert to his original state.In the cafeteria, Fia was surrounded by a group of lively girls."Secretary Sia, how did you apply to become our CEO's secretary?""You're amazing, Secretary Sia!""Our CEO has always had only Silas as his secretary. He's never hired a girl before. You're the first one!""Secretary Sia, share your experience with us!""We'll treat you to a big meal as a thank you!"She flashed a knowing smile. "It's actually quite easy. Our CEO may seem aloof, but deep down, he's rather susceptible and cannot withstand clinginess.“As long as you have the courage and thick skin to express your sincerity, you can definitely achieve it!"She gestured a cheering pose to everyone. "I'm full now, so enjoy your meal, everyone."As she was about to leave with her
